"He didn't know about it." "He'd have made me leave." "And she didn't tell him?" "There were things she didn't want me to tell him." "We made a deal." "What kind of things?" "Lots of things..." "Sometimes she'd sleep all day." "I had to get my own meals and stuff." "She didn't want my father to know." "Why did she sleep so much?" "Was she tired?" "I don't know." "She didn't go to work." "I think she was sad." "You certainly put her through it!" "She put me through it!" "shall we play?" "certainly not." "It's late!" "You have to go to sleep now." "Because tomorrow..."

"If a good shot shoots at someone, it isn't an accident." "No accident." "How's the kid?" "Fine." "The operation went well." "But he may have a limp." "He hates me." "He knows it was you?" "He knows it and didn't tell anyone?" "What will you do now?" "." "Can I come in?" "Get lost!" "I'm going to the police." "Afraid I'II fink on you?" "Why did you shoot at us?" "Are you sick?" "I wanted to shoot myself." "You wanted to kill yourself?" "." "But I shot at you." "You fell down..." "I was afraid I'd killed you..." "Later I understood how incredibly lucky I'd been." "If I'm not dead it's because the bullet hit you." "You can't fall with a gun!" "I think I didn't want to die." "You really want to go?" "Nobody's forcing you." "I know." " I don't need more."
