I remember that first clip because the depth of Prem's smug lip-smacking sarcasm in the way he said "compliments of your friendly master" made an indelible impression. Reading it again from my altered perspective brought three things to mind.
I pictured myself finger flicking him away like a small annoying thing. I'm not a violent person and so I couldn't think of an example until a mosquito in the middle of biting me popped into my head.
That led to a memory. As a child, a divorce caused me to be yanked from my lakeshore home to an inner-city apartment. My new friends were rough around the edges. One day as I was walking down a sidewalk, a bully approached me from behind and began taunting me as he crept-up on me. I was frightened. Out of nowhere, Beamer, a big kid who had taken me under his wing, came up and lifted the bully from behind by his pants and the scruff of his T-shirt collar and gave him a boot.
Finally, I thought "Who the hell do YOU think YOU'RE talking to you arrogant little... Show a little respect. It's YOUR privilege that I give you so much as an OUNCE of MY attention and I expect YOU to treat ME with dignity and respect."
I didn't think that with ego or any inflated sense of myself, but rather from a sense of reclaiming my own self-respect and dignity that he stole from me when I stooped as low as I did for him in that cult - much like I along with the rest of the people in that audience did with that jittery submissive laughter.
