:53:03
In flagrante delictum screwing
a 13 year old girl named Susan.
:53:12
She was an ugly
and mean-spirited kid.
:53:15
But she knew how to play
upon my weaknesses...
:53:18
which, I admit...
:53:23
are deep and many.
:53:29
You appear shocked.
:53:37
It was a pathetic little conspiracy.
A transparently desperate attempt...
:53:43
to discredit me and my ideas.
:53:46
To label me a mere pedophile. As if
I'd be ashamed of such a thing.
:53:50
As if Socrates himself hadn't
been taken out of circulation...
:53:54
for corrupting
the youth of Athens.
:54:02
Seven years.
:54:06
Seven years for one afternoon
of blissful transgression.
:54:16
But, what of it?
:54:18
Who cares?
:54:22
Prison is not so bad.
:54:25
Particularly if one's free from the
conventional horror of sodomy.
:54:34
They were not lost years.
:54:38
I put them to good use.
:54:41
I began my major
work, my Opus!
:54:45
Believe me, Simon.
:54:47
This incident with the girl...
:54:50
prison...
:54:52
pales to insignificance in the
wider context of my career.
:54:58
Nothing in comparison to the day
my confession is unleashed.
