In this chapter, the Governess continues to berate her son for his "perverted" ways. She tells him that if he continues to act this way, he might as well be identified as a "gay man" . She compares him to a drunk who has already done the same thing with her when she was drunk. She says that America is such a "open-minded country" that it is not uncommon for young men to "date in junior high." The Governess asks why she has never dated, and she says that she is going back to America for a while and that her mother gave her a call asking her to come home and have a blind date with her son. She asks why he hasn't told her this before, and he says that his mother is dying to have a grandson. He says that he has made him feel "good so many times" and that she has not gotten enough to begin with. He asks his mother why she looks like a "deadly ghost," and she replies that they did not become poor.
