"I'm here for murder." "I got a life sentence and have been here for 13 years." "All I've got is my wife and two daughters." "But I haven't heard from them for over 10 years." "I committed arson and murder." "I was sentenced to life and this is my 9th year here." "My parents already passed away." "I've been really regretting and repenting of my crime." "My hopes?" "Next 1106." "Rape and murder." "I was supposed to be executed, but my sentence was commuted to life in prison." "If I get to go out, I'll be able to live on that for 10 years." "I will die sooner or later, don't you think?" "His communication skills have been damaged." "5 years ago, he had a stroke." "Paper application only!" "Isn't there something like sick bail soon?" "Who knows?" "It's so unpredictable here." "Kidnapping, murder... abandonment of a dead body." "Those sentenced to death are not eligible to apply." "Yes, I know that I don't qualify." "I just want to meet the child's parents." "It doesn't matter whether they forgive me or not." "I only want to be able to say even just once... that I'm sorry." "Just once." "Director  Written JANG JIN" "I committed robbery and murder." "I was sentenced to life and I've been here for 15 years." "How old are you?" "I'm 39." "So you were..." "I was 24 years old." "You have a son and a mother." "And, you've lost contact with your wife, according to this." "Even with his son, he hasn't seen him for 15 years." "Did you apply for this specifically to see your son?" "Yes, my son and my mom." "He was three when you left him." "He would be 18 years old by now." "You must have really missed him." "Yes, sure." "I did..." "I miss him." "I would like to talk with him." "No, only if I could meet him, that would be..." "Oh!" "I'm sorry." "To tell you the truth," "I don't remember either his face or his voice." "I have very little memory of my son." "Since I know where my son is living" "I just would like to go there to talk with him and come back." "I am sorry." "I don't really remember." "My memory is..." "I am sorry." "I am sorry." "My eyes are clear." "It looks like I didn't cry because my eyes aren't gummy today." "It's a good sign." "I used to cry so much in bed that the next morning... my eyelids were glued shut." "Then I got so upset." "What more pain could be lurking in my heart?" "Why do I still cry and wail in pain in spite of myself?" " Let's go." " Yes." "I only have one week left." "The biggest torment for lifers is that we have nothing to wait for." "Condemned prisoners wait for their execution, even if they fear it." "Other prisoners wait for the day of their release." "But for us, there's nothing to wait for." "It is a torture that is afflicted on only life prisoners." "How come there's so much you wanna know?" "Where will I go after I die?" "After I die, will I be able to meet everybody I want to meet?" "No, no, it's not right." "Why would I want anybody to come to hell to keep me company?" "Not all murderers go to hell." "There is a place that is much better than hell." "If you repent of all your sins from the bottom of your heart, then you can go there." "God wouldn't be God if he wasn't benevolent." "So where is this place?" "Is it in the Bible?" "I've read it three times already." "Where is it written?" "You've read the Bible three times?" "I just read by bits and pieces." "As if I were reading a newspaper." "You know I've been here for a while." "Hey, where is that place?" "Not everything is written in the Bible." "So that's why you need to come and listen." "I heard that myself." "God talked to you?" "He did?" "He talked to you here?" "It was, I think, two months ago." "Do I look like a dumbass to you?" "Go head." "Be honest." "You think I'm some kind of half-wit." "That's why you keep pulling my legs." "Even a priest goes to hell, if he lies." "Nobody can save his ass." "Are you getting out next week?" "Yes." "Just for one day?" "What do you plan to do with him?" "One day is not as short as you might think it is." "Tell him what you've keeping in your heart for the last 15 years." "All the "I'm sorry"s..." "I miss yous, "I love you"s." "One day is enough to say all that." "God was able to create the light, the world and the human beings in one day!" "No, it took Him six days." "And he took a day off because he was tired." "I told you I read the Bible three times from cover to cover." "What's wrong with you, really!" "No, I was just..." "I heard it's been confirmed." "Congratulations!" "No, I kind of feel bad for my cellmates." "Come to the education room after lunch." "You are supposed to receive some training before you go out." "I'll help you out." "Hi, Yo Yo, Wassup?" "Hi, Yo, yo?" "That's how it is." "That's how they speak nowadays." "There's no more "how are you?"" "Ha." "That's interesting." "Funny, isn't it?" "When I talk with kids, speaking like that," "I feel like I should be carrying a passport." "As if I'm in a foreign country or something." "Take a long glance at it." "You'll get used to it after awhile." "Hi, Yo Yo, Wassup?" "Yo straight?" "Haven't caught up with ya in a while." "Man, you've got it going on." " No makeup, right?" " Ah!" "Calm down." "Wait for a second." "No makeup?" "Makeup for a boy?" "Hm..." "That doesn't make sense." "It's gotta mean something." "Hi!" "Hi!" "Father will be here soon." "Please check if you need to bring any of those." "They've been here for 15 years." "You may not recognize them all." "This is the first time" "I've seen this place from outside." "I was transported here late at night." "In the dark." "So that's what it looks like!" "What's the matter?" "Are you alright?" "Well, you haven't rode in a car for 15 years so..." "For somebody like you." "It intoxicates you and then makes you sick." "After a storm, you look even more radiant." "As the fresh wind blows my way, the golden sun lights up the sky." "Joon-suk!" "Did you have a dream?" "Crazy..." "Freaking crazy." "How on earth could I have fallen asleep?" "I must be crazy." "It's the first time seeing the outside world in 15 years." "But instead of enjoying the sights, I fell asleep!" "I'm so pathetic." "Now we will now move onto the Middle Ages." "There are two types of folk songs dating from this era." "One was created by the aristocracy, and the other by common people." "Among the folk songs that were created by common people, I think" "Chongsan-Byulgok is the most important." "But this was already covered in a past exam." "I think it's this way." "No, our house used to be over there." "Oh, really?" "But I think..." "I got it." "It's here." "Building 7, Unit 407!" "It should be here." "Hey, it's unlocked." "Hello?" "Is anybody home?" "Mom!" "Mom!" "The soy bean paste was too salty!" "I told you not to do it." "Mom!" "It's me, Kang-sik!" "So I didn't make the kimchi." "Mom." "Your son is here." "Why don't you watch the television?" "It's fun to watch." "Your son must have left the door open because of your mother." "He's not as big as I thought." "If he had your figure, he would have been tall." "Wait a moment." "He may be about my size." "He wears the same size as me." "Is that your son?" "Let me have a look." "Oh, It's a group picture." "You said his name was Joon-suk, right?" "Let's see." "Which one looks like a Joon-suk." "Mr. Park!" "I cannot bear to stay here." "I'm sorry?" "I cannot stay like this." "Would it be possible for me to wait for him in front of his school?" "I don't think so." "As you know, we're supposed to stick to the plan." "Yeah, I know that, but..." "But I feel like I'm losing precious time just waiting here." "You know, one day is all I've got." "Can't I wait in front of his school?" "Would you like to smoke?" "No, I'm good." "By the way, since you guys don't know what the other looks like, what if we miss him?" "Don't you think we need a signboard or something?" "Son!" "It's Dad." "Lee Joon-suk" "Does he have study hall today?" "He knows I'm coming, doesn't he?" "Sure." "He should have been notified." "Is there a back door to this school?" "Ax to the 3rd power plus B to the x power plus" "I've never been so frightened of going outside the school." "I'm going out in order to meet the "father"." "I have to chant these magic words." "Ax to the 3rd power plus B to the x power plus" "Cx plus D cannot be zero..." "I look at his eyes." "In fact, there's nothing else to look at." "His muffler is covering half of his face." "His eyes look like... my son." "I wish he could walk closer to me, so that I could say something to him." "It feels a bit awkward to talk to him from this distance." "Hi!" "The odor of the man next to me touches my nose." "The smell of cheap lotion and the body odor of a middle-aged man." "I have one day to eat with him." "I'm given one day to talk about everything." "I am afraid that at the end of the day I might call him dad in spite of myself." "Why don't we eat dinner at home?" "I'll do a bit of shopping and cook dinner for you." "I'm supposed to go to the tutoring center." "What?" "Sure, Go ahead and do what you need to do." "I can wait for you with this gentleman here." "We can have dinner together when you come back." " Or..." " Could you roll up the window?" "The wind is a bit too much." "Uh, uh, sure!" "I'm home." "Grandma!" "Let's see." "Let me see." "It's completely dry!" "You were good today." "I'll get some groceries." "You wanna come?" "When did you move here?" "Do you like it here?" "Is living alone with your grandmother hard?" "Has your grandmother been like that for a very long time?" "I wrote you a letter a few times." "But I didn't know you had moved." "When I didn't hear from you, I just thought... the previous house was..." "Hello!" "Hey." "I don't think I can make it today." "No, just..." "I have a guest here." "Yeah." "Today I am a guest who paid a visit to my family." "I'm nothing more than a guest to my son." "I am a guest who is supposed to exchange greetings, have some talk and then leave." ""Hi, how have you been?"" ""Take care."" ""We will meet again some day."" ""Bye!"" "Mom?" "Mom?" "Do you know Mr. Kim who lives on the other side of the stream?" "His daughter got married a year ago." "She visited him a few days ago for the first time after the marriage." "She came with a baby who could already walk." "The baby even runs sometimes." "It isn't because the baby developed fast." "You see, the baby was born before marriage." "That cracked me up." "That Mr. Kim is a goofball." "What's wrong with having a baby before marriage?" "Then he said," "My newborn grandson can already run!" "What a load of crap!" "He said running was a special sport." "He wanted the baby to run like the famous female runner, Lim Choon-ae." "Why Lim Choon-ae?" "I thought it was a boy." "Are you taking me for a fool?" "I'm just repeating what Mr. Kim said." "That grandson's already in grade school." "How come you repeat the same story year after year?" "Mr. Kim died a long, long time ago!" "By the way, who are you?" "To be honest, Mr. Park's food is worse than the prison meals." "That is probably why he always eats his meals in prison." "But his food is not the reason why my son and I can hardly eat right now." "My son cannot eat because of me." "And I cannot eat because of myself." "The way he fiddles with his chopsticks fills my heart with a sense of guilt." "Now you're using them properly." "When you were younger, you used your spoon with your left hand." "So I bawled you out a lot." "But you don't use your left hand anymore." "Why was I so hard on you?" "You would correct it yourself." "Now I feel sorry for being so hard on you." "Do you remember your victim?" "What?" "Do you remember the face of the person you killed?" "Oh, it was... a young woman, I think..." "There were two people." "Her and her father." "I read everything on the Internet, every newspaper article." "Yes, two of them." "You're right." "Actually, I didn't know until later that there was two people." "My mind was hazy when I was doing it." "By the way, did you just call me "father"?" "No." "Oh, It must have been my ears then." "You have mean eyes." "What?" "Your eyes are still..." "Perhaps you were born like that, but your eyes scare me." "Yeah, my eyes..." "they're a bit like that." "I am standing in front of a mirror." "It seems like my son does not see the present me." "All he sees is the brutal murderer from the past." "It's sad." "It hurts." "I despise my eyes." "I loathe the eyes that scare my son." "What should I do with my eyes, so that they won't scare my son?" "Maybe I should have kept my eyes closed." "Tears are streaming down like crazy." "Even with these tears welling my eyes, they remain the same." "They scare me, too." "Maybe these tears are all fake." "How on earth could a person's eyes look so scary even when he's crying?" " I'll do the dishes today." " No, it's OK." "I'll do it." "That'll be faster." "You know, I'm used to doing dishes." "Well-behaved prisoners do this frequently." "Then I'll leave it all for you." "Are you watching something interesting, Ma'am?" "This room is really warm." "The utility bill must be very high in the winter." "Did you eat?" "I just ate with you." "Did you forget it already?" "Oh, are you OK?" "Jesus Christ!" " Oh, boy..." " What's the matter?" "It was all of sudden." "She was fine and then..." "It just came like that." "I didn't know." "She just did it!" "It was just so quick." "I'm... oh boy!" "The TV doesn't have good reception." "Grandma watches it all the time." "I didn't mean to ask him to do that" "I didn't mean to ask him to climb up there where the cold wind was blowing." "He looks totally focused on the job, as if he was really enjoying it being able to do something for us." "Place that here." "I thought our TV was black and white." "If your neighbor says something about their TV not working, pretend you don't know anything." "It is very exhausting to migrate to a warmer place." "It is even harder when you are leading your family in the right direction." "But I feel so proud when I see my son flying along without any whining." "Perhaps next year around this time," "He might be leading the way for all of us." "My son..." "he will do great." "Bravo, my son!" "My dad still cannot tell me apart from my brother." "It annoys the heck out of me." "I'm sorry." "We should be going out to drink." " But we just have to stick to the plan." " No, no, I understand." "Thank you." "Oh, thank you." "What is all this you bought?" "Joon-suk, you don't drink, do you?" "Have you ever had alcohol?" "Yes, on my birthday with friends." "Give me some, too." "I filled only half a glass." "Then I'm at a loss." "I can't say anything." "Because I don't remember his birthday." "If he finds out about it, he'll hate me more." "I wish Mr. Park would change the topic of our conversation." "When's your birthday, Joon-suk?" "Mr. Park must already be drunk." "Instead of answering his question, my son just gazes into my face." "Oh, shoot!" "Tears are welling up again." "I'm getting that a lot today." "It's in late winter." "Two days before my father's birthday." "Ah!" "Did you hear it?" "Yes, you did." "He just called me "father"." "Right?" "I swear he did." "You..." "You just called me "father"." "I said my "father's birthday"." "You just said it again." "You said "father" before you said "birthday"." "I didn't use "father" separately." "I said my "father's birthday"." "What difference does it make?" "You said "father" anyway, didn't you?" "The soup is..." "My son is getting up, saying he has to warm up the soup." "He just said it, didn't he?" "The drink tastes so good." "How can you get lost when you've been going this way for so many years?" " I think that way was right." " I told you to fly during the day only." "Dad!" "Stop daydreaming and concentrate!" "I'm sorry, Son!" "Hang in there!" " Why do you keep calling me "son"!" " I'd rather freeze my ass off" " than do this year after year." " Father, where are you going?" "Please bring your grandpa here." "Good night, Mom!" ""Demian"" ""I'm sorry."" "I'm sorry." "Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz..." "I hear a strange noise in my ears." "It sounds like air is moving," "Maybe it's the sound of a fluorescent lamp, of gas being converted to electricity." "Since I can hear a noise like this," "I must be having the most quiet moment on earth with my son." "How many glasses did you drink?" "Four." "Is that all?" "I thought you drank more than that." "You only filled them halfway." "What a piece of crap!" "Our TV is not working." "Go and check out the antenna!" "How come it suddenly goes black and white?" "Should I turn off the light?" "Just leave it on." "If we turn off the light, then we'll fall asleep." "When we get up in the morning, he'll have to go." "My father is a fool." "As if he didn't know it, he wants to turn off the light." "When we turn off the light," "I won't be able to see his face." "Then his odor will disappear, too." "You wanna go out?" "Those words must come out because he's drunk." "Out of everything he has said to me today, what he just said pleases me the most." "I see him grinning, as if he really enjoyed sneaking out at night." "Even with his faint smile," "I can tell he'd be popular with girls." "Prisoners for life can see better than cats can." "We can see a lot in the dark." "I can even see his supporting gesture." "As soon as the door is closed, we begin to run together." "I don't know why I'm running." "I guess I'm just running after my son." "It's been a long time since I ran last." "I'm out of breath, but I'm doing my best to keep up." "It feels as if my son is slipping away from me." "I'm giving every ounce of my sweat, so I can get ahead of him." "When we stopped running, we found ourselves on the frontier of heaven, not far from the moon." "It's probably not as great as heaven, but it was good enough for me." "Maybe this is the place." "Not heaven, but a place for kind-hearted murderers." "It's cold, but I don't feel it." "I can see everything clearly even in the dark." "My son's face looks brighter now than under the sunlight." "I had thought of something stupid." "I was worried that you might have been disabled." "I had spank you so badly before I left home that day." "I was just over 20, so a family to me was a heavy burden." "That day was no different." "I got frustrated with your whining." "Do I remember who I murdered?" "All I can remember after that day" "is foolishly spanking you with whatever was within reach." "Father is really strange." "He's crying for sure, but I don't see any tears." "I hit you like crazy." "I thought you may never walk again." "His face remains straight." "I was so afraid of that." "He is bawling inside for sure." "But how come his face is so straight?" "Wish I could do the same." "I'm crying so hard... unable to say anything." "You love me, don't you?" "You must love me." "Please keep loving me, until the day you die... until the day I die..." "On cloudy days, I used to feel pain in my legs." "Now I know now that it's because you beat me recklessly" "that day." "You have to make up for it." "You have to think of me until the day you die." "Think of me until the day you die." "Son!" "You're crying?" "And, Mr. Kim said," ""My grandson, he's only 3 months old, but he's already swimming."" "I will make him a swimmer." "That's a load of crap." "He's full of bullshit." "A little ago, you said he was running." "How come he's suddenly swimming?" "Running?" "Was it running?" "No, it was swimming." "When did he run?" "Hey!" "This way!" "It's still alive..." "even in winter." "It's a dayfly." "A dayfly?" "Yeah, it's a dayfly." "How come a dayfly is so big?" "Dayflies get big at night." "They are born in the morning." "So they become big before they die at night." "No way." "No dayfly can be as big as this one." "How come you don't believe your own father?" "This is a dayfly!" "Why don't you ask it?" "Ask where?" "Hey, you!" "What did you do yesterday?" "See." "It doesn't have anything to tell us." "It really is a dayfly." "Are you trying to make me laugh?" " What are you going to do tomorrow?" " Hey, he hates that question!" "See?" "He's flying away 'cause he's mad." "Why did you have to say that?" "My son said he would introduce his girlfriend to me." "He said that he told his friends that I was overseas." " Did I wake you up?" " I feel ashamed." "What should I say to his girlfriend?" "I have someone I want you to meet." "The girl's two-storied house has high walls." "Her family must be rich." "A house like this used to make me want to break in." "Now the walls feel like an ocean that cannot be crossed." " I think my son made a mistake." " OK." "You can sneak out." "I might scare her off." "I will try to slant my eyes, so that I will not look so mean." "Hey, you came." "I'm sorry." "My son's girlfriend is here." " She looks as if she just woke up." " How come your hair is wet?" "From a dream." "She's pretty." "It must have been my son's smile that won her heart." "He does have a very charming smile." "I am a killer." "And, my son has a killer smile!" "Would that be a case of like father, like son?" "This is my father." "Hi." "It's very nice to meet you." "Hi." "Are your parents doing alright?" "I really needed some practice." "I don't know what to say in order to look normal." "He's leaving tomorrow morning." "That's why I wanted you to see him tonight." "It's fine." "Well, it is daytime in America." "She said America!" "This is getting tough." "I heard a lot about you from Joon-suk." "Your visit to Korea is so short this time." "Yes, I know..." "Please come to visit me in America." "Or contact me if you ever go to an American school." "Or, Maybe you might immigrate..." "I just wanted you to see each other." "We have to go now." " You're leaving already." " Yes." "Where are you going?" "We're going to the sauna." "He has to leave first thing in the morning." "It was great to meet you, Sir." "Please don't worry about Joon-suk." "He's very popular in school, and he's an excellent student." "Sure, yes!" "I hope I'll see you again, Sir!" "Sure." "Goodbye!" "I should have said "Good night"." "Is that a tiger?" "What?" "Is that a tiger on your back?" "It's supposed to be." "But with age, it looks more like a zebra now." "It's pretty cool." "Don't you do this kind of stuff!" "It's dangerous." "It's really painful, too." "My son just went under the water." "Maybe he thought I was nagging." "It could look pathetic when a father like me tries to nag at his son." "Hey, what can I say?" "My son is not coming up." "What if he dies?" "Kids don't drown when their fathers are by their sides, do they?" "Maybe he's cold." "He's not budging." "I am going to save my son before he drowns himself!" "My son is in the water." "He is looking at me in the water." "And, he's smiling at me." "If a fish sees his killer smile, it may faint and float to the surface." "I see some pretty fish around us." "It feels so great to be here." "Maybe it is why people disperse the cremated remains at sea after someone dies." "My father is in the water." "My father and I." "The father I met in the water is not a murderer, or a prisoner." "He is someone who has walked miles to see me with a tiger on his back." "It's my father!" "Grandma!" "Your face is already clean!" "Who could have done such a nice job?" "Please go ahead." "Kang-sik, sit over here and you sir, go over there." "My mom called my name." "Grandma called father's name." "Aren't you late for school?" "You're gonna be OK?" "Oh, my poor baby!" "You don't remember this, do you?" "We used to come here often." "When you were younger, you always wanted to play outside." "So I used to bring you here." "The father and the son are walking side by side." "Given that it could be their last walk together, the road that lies ahead looks so short." "Kang-sik is a real talker." "He never stops talking." "From this end to that end..." "What he says sounds rather boring and pointless to my ears." " He describes what it used to look like here." " I think you were one or two years old." " He says how he used to play over here." " The stationmaster yelled at me," "Is that really what he wants to say now?" "Because you jumped into the railroad tracks." ""I love you, I will miss you,"" ""Will you come and see me?"" "He hasn't said any of that." " Poor Kang-sik..." "He's a fool." " And now it's covered with condominiums." "This place has changed a lot." "So I was..." "I was..." "Here..." "Here..." "The face of Kang-sik is covered with the tears that he's shed." "Tears and sniffles." "This sobbing sound is coming from the fellow in front of me." "You'll be fine, Dad." "The wailing of a convicted murderer sounds a lot louder than a train." "Kang-sik is crying in choked sobs as he feels his son's hand." "Joon-suk!" "Where is he?" "What did he say?" "Kang-sik must be delirious because of the crying." "He cannot even recognize his own son." "What happened to my Joon-suk?" "What happened to my Joon-suk?" "I'm sorry, sir!" "I must be missing something that the two already know." "I'm at Joon-suk's house." "Yeah, he's here." "By the way, who are you?" " Hey!" " What's wrong with you!" " You scared me!" " Let's go." "Did you do your homework?" "Homework?" "You'll have to help me with it." "I saw a picture of my father's victims." "I did some research on the Internet." "My father's birthday is the day after tomorrow." "I miss my father." "I don't think he'll recognize me." "We're late." "We'll have to sneak in again." "You've changed your song." "Is that a new song?" "Lee Joon-suk?" "Joon-suk?" "Joon-suk!" "Joon-suk!" "Geez, Grandma." "How come you eat nothing but rice?" "You need to eat some side-dishes, too." "I'm gonna go see my dad." "You wanna come with me?" "Do I look" "presentable?" "Yeah," "you look great." "Do I look" "alright for real?" "Yeah," "you totally look fine." "Joon-suk!" "After he died," "me and some other friends took turns taking care of his grandmother." "It's OK!" "Please bear with me." "Father will be here soon." "What would Joon-suk have done?" "This is the last piece of him I have." "Cha Heon-do" "Lee Joon-suk" "I'm sorry, sir!" "It was awkward and strange for some reason." "But I thought that was natural since I hadn't seen my son for 15 years." "I thought that was why." "Then when you held my hand... something strange happened." "My heart was screaming at me." "Telling me this is not the hand of my son!" "My heart was telling me this is not my son's hand." "Was Joon-suk left-handed?" "He was stubborn, that kid!" "I'm really sorry." "Truly." "No, don't be." "It doesn't matter whether you're my real son or not." "I just..." "I did spend a day with my son." "Like a dayfly, you find meaning in what you're given." "Mr. Lee!" "Joon-suk was much taller than me." "He was as tall as you." "His face was pretty handsome too!" "Good night, my Son!" "Leave Report / Robbery, Homicide / Life Sentence" "So how was the visit?" "Did you have a good time with your son?" "Yes." "Thank you very much." "It's been a long time." "Wasn't it a bit awkward?" "He must have grown a lot." "Yes, he has." "He is pretty good looking." "He's as tall as me." "Demian" "Mr. Park!" "The body of the Christ." "Amen." "The body of the Christ." "Amen." "I'd better read it at least three more times." "Lee Kang-sik." "There's a visitor for you." "It's your son." "You should brush your hair first." "Hi!" "How have you been?" "How is school?" "How is your girlfriend?" "How is your health?" "Wait..." "I am the one who's visiting you." "I'm supposed to ask the questions." "Your dad is doing pretty well." "You just called yourself my dad, didn't you?" "Did I?" "Yes!" "You said, your dad is doing pretty well." "Did I do that?" "Come on, Dad." "That's what you just said." "Hey, why are you calling me "Dad"?" "I'm not." "When did I do that?" "You just said it!" "You'd better not lie to your dad." "There you go again!" "You called yourself Dad." "Hey, you know the book Demian, did you really like it?" "Uh?" "It's not difficult or anything." "It's just not to my tastes." "Demian?" "I've never read it." "You've never read it?" "Never read Demian?" "Why did you put it on your bookshelf if you were never going to read it?" "I was about to read it two more times." "Geez." "So all those books on your bookshelf." "Were they all just for show?" "Dad!" "I'm a senior in high school." "I don't have time to read other books." "Hey, I went to high school too." "I fit time in my schedule to read." "Read what?" "Demian?" "Everything except that one." "I've read them all." "Have you read the Bible?" "Why would I read that?" "That would be a waste of time." "Waste of time?" "The Bible?" "It has the words of God!" "OK, son!" "From now on, every time you visit me here I'm going to teach you the Bible!" "No, Dad." "I have to work on my math." "You think I'm a fool because I've been here so long?" "!" "Hey, I used to know math."
