"COLIN:" "This is how I want it to be with my father." "I want to surprise him." "COLIN:" "Just like this." "I want him to see me before anyone else does." "I wish we knew how to find him." "Medlock must know." "We can steal the address from her." "I'll have a fit, and when she comes running" "I saw a desk in your father's room." "It had lots of papers on it." "Maybe it's there."

"[Ice splashes into water, Colin gasps]" "[Colin moans]" "COLIN:" "If I'm so sick, you should send for my father." "You are to stay in bed." "You are not to go out into the gardens."
