:12:00
You ever think like that?
:12:02
He was passed out.
:12:04
Just been yelling
at my mom over...nothing.

:12:07
Undercooked meat.
:12:08
I went to my room.
:12:11
I held the barrel
right up to his ear...

:12:15
and then I chickened out again.
:12:25
Of course, it was a BB gun...
:12:26
but still,
it would've hurt like hell.

:12:28
Are you talking?
:12:31
I was just thinking
about my mom.

:12:35
She wouldn't leave my dad.
:12:36
I remember once she made dinner
for us wearing sunglasses.

:12:41
Mind you, it was dark outside.
:12:43
And in.
:12:46
And nobody said
a thing about it.

:12:52
Why wouldn't she just leave?
:12:55
I think she was terrified...
:12:58
to live with him
but maybe even...

:13:00
more terrified of life
without him.

:13:02
I would've killed him.
:13:05
Would've been so much better
if you had.

:13:09
Then maybe he wouldn't
have driven drunk.

:13:15
Maybe he wouldn't have killed
my mom in the car crash.

:13:18
Woman in the other car.
:13:22
Hurt a little girl
in the back seat, too.

:13:27
You'd have liked
your grandmother.

:13:29
She was pretty cool.
:13:32
I still think
about that little girl.

:13:36
They couldn't find her father,
and her mother was dead.

:13:42
You ever wish you'd done it?
:13:45
What, killed my dad?
:13:49
I loved him too much.
:13:56
That's weird.
