“WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT CHILD!”
“Mike, she doesn’t understand.”
“She’s disturbed, Catherine. A blind man can see that.”
“How can you say that about your own flesh and blood?”
“I can’t take it, Catherine. I’m sorry.”
“You’re a fucking coward, that’s why.”
“It’s killing me to watch her like this.”
“And you don’t think it’s killing me, Mike? The difference is I would never leave her.”
“I’m not leaving her, but I have to get out of this house or I’m going to lose my mind right along with her.”
“Some father you are, turning your back the minute things get tough.”
“Catherine.”
“Go on, then! Run away, Mike. We’ll be better off alone than with a spineless coward.”
