- At the milk bar, Alex listens as a woman at a nearby table sings Beethoven.
- His friend Dim makes a fart noise during the song, and Alex, who is not offended by rape, is offended by this and whacks his friend with his cane.
- "Yarbles!" his friend says. Uh-oh. Them's fightin' words.
- But Dim doesn't press Alex, who is ready for a fight.
- Alex walks home to his apartment, where he lives with his parents.
- He removes his eyelashes, puts his watch and cash in a drawer filled with watches and cash, and pets his snake. (Not a euphemism. He has a pet snake.)
- He plays a cassette tape of Beethoven, as the camera shows us a few dancing Jesus statues he owns.
- Alex "slooshies" while picturing himself as a vampire, imagining explosions and men dressed as women being hanged. Typical teen boy fantasies.
