Look, baby, this is your old tooth-brushing glass. I kept it all the time to remind me of you.” “To remind you to brush your teeth.” “No. I have my own too. I kept this to remind me of you trying to brush away the Villa Rossa from your teeth in the morning, swearing and eating aspirin and cursing harlots. Every time I see that glass I think of you trying to clean your conscience with a toothbrush.”
