Plot – Spoilers:
Billy exits the prison gates and realizes he badly needs to pee. But he just can’t catch a break, with every potential loo shutting him out. Since he seems shy of whipping out his (apparently) big cock in open public places however empty, he ends up running round town clutching his dick. Eventually he bursts into a dance studio and tries to use their bathroom but is upset by another man there.

This opening scene in many ways sums up Billy. A complex man who revels in complicating everything. And for the longest while, he remains a sympathetic character. Even when he kidnaps a girl Layla at the studio and orders her to pretend to be his wife when he visits his parents. Layla is either bored or curious and plays along without much resistance, maybe because she’s instantly drawn to him or because she doesn’t feel he would really hurt her. But Billy is a piece of shit with piece of shit parents. He thinks he’s a somebody but truly believes he’s a nobody, even though he might have won some bowling championship as a kid. He might also be a virgin. But he’s basically a bully who bursts into tears at the first sign of a fightback. Billy makes it hard for you to retain your sympathy even after you’ve met his parents. Or even when you can see from his loner point of view, how Layla who remained sweet and pretty the majority of the time, now shows signs of becoming demanding. And for all of this, and the two leads, this is mostly a triumph.

I need help guys, my penis has grown to assume dystopian proportions, I bulges from all corners and stays stiff like a pack of meth left under the sun for a month. I could gape a homeless person or a streetwalking white trash with a nazi tattoo on her fupa. Any suggestions? (please this is serious, I will be very cross if names like “fred’s mum” or “steve’s kid” are mentioned) thank you.

“For the introduction of a socialist economy is more than a ‘decree’! It requires a moral understanding, an ethical conviction, a religious profession of faith! For in its innermost essence, it is a turning away from the idolatry of previous millennia, the overcoming of a monetary system already attacked by MOSES AND CHRIST, which could be maintained to the present day only by keeping people stupid and terrorizing them, and by a mendacious sanctimoniousness. To bring about this powerful revolution is our mission; to prevent it, on the other hand, is the intention and perhaps already the task assigned to Schacht.”

— Adolf Hitler, in Otto Wagener’s Memoirs of a Confidant, p. 263
