Coisas do pensamento...

Tem uma garotinha de chuca dentro de um enorme sobretudo preto
Convidaram-na a dançar, ela ergueu os olhos
Numa expressão "você pode me ver?"
Alcançaram-na uma macia escova de cabelos
E ela tenta despegar o eslático antigo, apertado a tanto tempo
Sente o couro cabeludo farfalhar por estar sendo mexido
E o Sobretudo, por horas robe, boneca de pano ou personagem de TV pensa
(É ele pensa também)
E pode? Assim... me transpassar e ir instrumentando aquela ínfima boneca?
Era dela que todos falavam?
Então imagino a garotinha alcançando a terra úmida com os pés nús e sentindo a argila por entre os dedos
E ela pensa coisas de um jeito diferente
Pensa com uma simplicidade que parece boba...
Nada teatral. Não faria sucesso em broadway, em séries da warner
Ou faria; já não importa tanto.

ABOUT STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF - OR LEARNING BY EXAMPLE

RORY IS NOT HOME

- Let`s just try to be calm until we know what happend.

- What do you mean “until we know what happend”? We know what happend!

- No we don`t!

- They were out all night!

- I`m gonna make some coffe.

- Lorelai Gilmore I`ve watched you do a lot of stupid things in your life and I`ve held my tongue...

- (risos) You`ve what??

- But I will not stand by and watch you let that girl to ruin her life!

- Mom..., back off!

- She spent the night out with that boy – the one you let her run off to that dance with.

- Mom, so help me God, I will not get into this with you.

- She`s doing the same thing you did.

- No she`s not.

- She`s going to get pregnant.

- No she`s not.

- She`s going to ruin everything, just like you ruinned everything.

- No she`s not, No she`s not, No she`s not!!! Rory is a good kid mom, she`s not me!

- What kind of mother are you to aloud this to happen to her?

- Oh, I don`t know mom, What kind of mother were you??

- You`re gonna lose her. You`re gonna lose her, just like I lost you.

- I am not gonna lose her, do you hear me? Even if I haven`t gotten pregnant you still would have lost me. I had nothing in that house, I had no life, I had no air. You strangled me. I do not strangle Rory.

- Oh, you´re so perfect and I was so horrible... I put you in good schools; I gave you the best of everything; I made sure you have the finest opportunities. And I am so tired of hearing about how you were suffocated and I was so controlling. Well, if I was so controlling, why couldn`t I control you running around, getting pregnant and throwing your life away??

- Get out !!!

- What?

- You will not come into my house and tell me I threw my life away! Look around mom, this is a life. It has a little collor in it so it may look a little unfamiliar to you, but it´s a life. And if a haven`t gotten pregnant I wouldn`t have Rory.

- You know that`s not what I meant.

- Maybe I was some horrible uncontrollable child like you say. But Rory isn`t. She`s smart and carefull, and I trust her, and she`s gonna be fine. And if you can`t accept that or belive it, then I dont want you in this house.

(Emily leaves... Rory comes in)

(Rory) – Mom, thank you for saying all thouse...

(Lorelai) – What were you thinking staying out all night? Are you insane?

- I`m sorry. It was an accident.

- You`re talking to the queen of staying out all night, I invented the concept. This is no accident, you can`t do this. Period.

- Nothing happend!

- Do you have any ideia what is like to wake up with my mother here and find out that you never came home?

- So all this is about grandma being here?!

- No is about the feeling of complete terror when your kid isn`t in her bed in the morning.

- I`m sorry.

- And then is about a different kind of terror when you find out she spent the night with some guy.

- Mom, I didn`t spend the night with him; we fell asleep!

- You are going on the pill.

- What??

- You are not getting pregnant!

- I am not sleeping with Dean!

- Damm it!

- What happend to all that stuff you said to grandma? What happend to trusting me? Were did all that go??

- Well, I think is back in Patty`s yoga matts.

- This is crap! You know I didn`t do anything. You know this was an accident. You`re just mad because I screw up, that I did it in front of grandma and that she naild you for it. Oh, I´m sorry! I`m sorry that I screwed up and I am sorry you got yeld at. But I didn´t do anything, and you know it!
