Electra’s dictionary & film noir/checkmatepawn(JMMuseChron)

…. it has never been a question of what it is about —as far as all of This


And this thought I am split upon as I balance between the plains 

Josef says,

“Elsa is being satirical!” throwing up his hands, “it’s all under control….” But he stops himself and glances at Elsa. He looks back at me, “so, where are you exactly on your divorce from Chris—is it final or in the works?”

I push the chair out and stand up. This is my cue. I walk around behind Josef and straight to Jörn and take him by his lapels without looking. I just reach up as I go, with a glance and ….then I start to drag him that way

I get him about three paces that way with odd coughs and laughs behind me and dragged feet. Until…..

 my fingers are wrenched away

but by then we have made it through towards some privacy as I start for his bedroom

“Now, duva—“

“No, don’t ‘duva’ me—it is amazing to me—amazing Jörn!!!—how you really thought I was not onto you and your odd coverups of saying you are one place but being somewhere else and it gets old so, why am I the target in this scheme, I don’t understand because clearly your lust is for an entertainment —“ I wave my hand vaguely meaning to suggest —the recent elephant in the room. The discrepancy. 

“Where do I really stand in all of this, Jörn—am I just a pawn?”
