Evan notes an "implied criticism" in Marcus words.
Marcus maintains that Evan is quite perceptive, but states Evan must realise that Marcus is not really criticising Evan as much as he is criticising himself - he is criticising that which he dislikes most about his own mentality, and affirming what he truly believes.
Evan states that marcus should curb this tendency towards self-criticism as we are all exactly who we are and while change is good hurting yourself emotionally to bring it about is not.
Katie has jsut returned home from work and would like to inform everyone that no one should ever buy anything from a supermarket ever. She has just finished stocktake where her friend Flora found a dead rat in the pasta aisle and a live rat running about under the shelves. Katie is thoroughly disgusted and incredibly cut that she didnt get pizza like at all the other stocktakes she attended. Katie also has two fresh holes in her head.
Marcus is not self-flaggelistic, if that is what Evan thinks . Marcus does, however, like to consider his own choices, so that he can, in the present, make choices which are most true to him. Marcus is not a gloomy or self-punishing person - he tries to use his understanding of himself to make positive choices.
Centerlink can go to buggery for all Katie cares and she really doesnt like two legged swaering mice. She hopes Evan and Marcus would protect her from them
