"Sent me away" sounds like
I went to some asylum or something.

:58:04
- There were no straps involved.
- Why did they send you to boarding school?

:58:09
They sent me to
boarding school because...

:58:11
they thought
I might be dangerous.

:58:15
"Oh, are you freaked out?
You're like running for the door.

:58:17
- You can go. It's okay. Don't feel bad."
- That's really funny.

:58:19
- It's really funny.
:58:22
Why would they think
you'd be dangerous?

:58:24
You're like
a little detective.

:58:26
- Want to know?
- Yeah.

:58:28
- You're gay.
:58:31
No. Drumroll.
:58:39
I was the reason
she was in a wheelchair.

:58:43
I pushed her.
:58:46
So there that is.
:58:50
- Shut up!
- Fuck off.

:58:52
- No. That's the truth.
- Why?

:58:56
It was just a complete
freak accident, you know?

:58:58
It's one of those things you replay
a million times in your head...

:59:01
and you see how clearly it was
just a complete freak thing.

:59:05
My-My whole life, she was
depressed for no reason.

:59:08
And... one day,
you know...

:59:10
I was a little kid.
I was nine years old...

:59:12
and I just
hated her for that.

:59:15
And... I pushed her.
:59:17
And it was innocent.
I was just completely frustrated.

:59:20
- 'Cause...
- 'Cause you couldn't make her happy?

:59:22
Yeah! Fuck, yeah!
And any other time, you know...

:59:25
any other day, she would havejust
yelled at me and sent me to my room.

:59:29
But this day...
:59:31
on this particular day...
:59:34
the door of the dishwasher...
:59:38
had fallen open...
the latch on it was broken.

:59:40
And it would just
randomly fall open.

:59:43
That fuckin' latch,
you know.

:59:45
It's really amazing how much of my life has been
determined by a quarter-inch piece of plastic.

:59:50
But...
:59:52
So, anyway, she, uh...
she fell back over the door...

:59:55
and, uh, hit her neck on the kitchen counter,
paralyzing her from the waist down.
