Did that make you feel better? And then I have, well I have ruined it. Look at the makeup. Really I do think she was a bit heavy with the lips
(Showing the man the face)
She does have pretty eyes
(Stroking the eyeballs with her fingers)
And she has, Oops, had a spectacular figure.
(Kicking the blood covered foam filled dress)
But these lips they don’t seem right! Tell me had she had any work done? You know, Tits, Arse, Pussy any plastics baby? Please tell me I really want to know.

I mean I did not really notice, I was stoned honey and it was cold and she wanted to get warm, I invited her up for a cuppa and to see the view, that’s it! to see the view that’s all, then she was weak and dizzy from not eating she said, and I think the height must have made her woozy, well you know me how I worry about sick people I made her lie down, she went to sleep and when I woke up she was ,um well you had, um, well I ,I don’t fucking know after I fell asleep what happened, but I swear on our love, I never had sex with that woman, not even a kiss. Honey, that is the truth.
