Transvestia

You don't think it sensual or sexual? Or perhaps just a little childish? Not quite the dignified thing for a grown-up man to do--play at tenpins?

You are trying to confuse me again. I do it for pleasure. I get a kick out of it..

And these other men don't get a kick out of their little game?

I suppose they do. Not everybody likes to bowl.

And not everybody enjoys playing the part of a Prince or a murderer, and not everybody likes to write poetry, and not everybody collects stamps, or goes skiing, or puts on special clothe and walks about with a golf stick on the greens.

But it's so unusual, so singular.

HARRY: There are equally singular hobbies..you just haven't thought about them. Some people col- lect old bottles, some climb dangerously high mountains, some drive fast cars....

DICK:

And these men do it just for a hobby? It isn't anything deeper than that, you claim?

I claim nothing. There are unconscious reasons why anybody does anything. The man who acts a role has his unknown reasons, the man who drives a fast motorcycle has hidden motivations the man who collects odd things has his. These men have theirs..but who is to say which secret motivation is the more dangerous?

Besides, I suppose if they do it, it fulfills their needs and that must be how their tastes run. Everyone is different.

HARRY: Exactly, and now what made you to astonished about that one little group?

DICK:

I forget.. it doesn't seem so astonishing any

more.
