Why would you keep this from me!?
Because it was too painful. I was shut down. I couldn't deal with anything. I couldn't bring myself to tell you the horrible truth, which is that she committed suicide.
Bullshit!! Alright, she would- she wouldn't do that!
Well I'm sorry you feel that way Dylan, but that is what happened.
No-no-no-no, no, it that is not what happened. I know her, and she wouldn't do that.
Oh, come on, Dylan. You never knew her that well. So take it from me. All right? She had a darkness in her, and she killed herself. And died from carbon monoxide asphyxiation. In fact, she tried to kill both of us. It was even confirmed by the authorities.
No, I-I-I-I don't understand. What-what why would she do that, Norman?!
I don't know why! But I don't want to discuss it anymore, okay!?
Okay, well-well-well, I do want to discuss it, okay!? Because she was my mother too! None of this makes any sense.
It was a horrible tragedy, Dylan. Tragedies don't make sense. That is why they are so horrible! It never should have happened, but it did and now she's gone! What what else is there to say?!
