:51:02
- Decompose?
- Yeah.
:51:04
Well, you can put stuff on them.
:51:06
So why dont you take
the tray in next to the fire, all right?
:51:09
Yeah.
:51:10
How do you know
how to do that stuff?
:51:13
I looked it up in the library.
:51:20
In London we found out
my father was dying.
:51:22
My mother had run away
when I was 3.
:51:24
He didnt want her to get her
red fingernails into me ever again.
:51:27
We left England
without a word to anyone.
:51:31
It was the end of the summer
when I came here...
:51:33
...and I knew this was the place.
:51:35
But he said I should think
it over for a week...
:51:37
...to make sure I wanted to spend
the next three years of my life here.
:51:41
The rents paid up
for the next three years.
:51:45
So three more years like this?
:51:50
Almost all September,
he looked fine.
:51:57
If the pain was terrible,
he never said anything.
:52:01
Then one Sunday evening...
:52:05
...we were sitting in this room...
:52:08
...and he whispered to me
in a very soft voice...
:52:12
...that I wasnt like
anybody else in the world...
:52:17
...that people
wouldnt understand me.
:52:19
Theyd order me around,
tell me what to do...
:52:21
...and try to make me into the person
they wanted me to be.
:52:26
Since I was only a kid,
I couldnt say anything.
:52:31
Id have to stay alone...
:52:35
...keep out of trouble and make
myself very small in the world.
:52:39
All alone?
:52:42
We worked out every detail.
:52:44
We knew it wouldnt be easy.
:52:49
Heres a letter from my father.
:52:53
"Dont give in and play their game.
:52:55
Fight them any way you have to.
:52:58
Survive."
