I have studied on the hotel guests for weeks now. I have been meticulously observing you and Fred, Leena, the Russians the Arabs, the young and the old and I have finally come to a conclusion: I have to choose… I have to choose what is really worth telling horror or desire, and I choose “desire”. You, each one of you, you opened my eyes, you made me see that I should not be wasting my time on the senselessness of horror. I came to this, I can’t play Hitler; I want to tell about your desire, my desire, so pure, so impossible, so immoral, but it does not matter because that what makes us alive.
