Why do you go visit him?
I'm his son. I feel obligated.
It's just not fair, you know? He doesn't remember anything... anything that he did to me. And I remember every curse, every smack, every bruise. Everything. I remember all of it.
You want an acknowledgement. Or an apology but with his fleeting memory you can't have that.
I look at him now, and he's old... and sick. And I feel nothing. And it scares me. I mean, what does that say about me as a person? You know, you're supposed... you're supposed to love your parents. So... I guess I go because I want to... I want to feel something.
It looks like you feel something now. Holding onto the anger isn't gonna help you.
It's so crazy, you know? I've learned more about him now since he's been sick than when he was normal. Turns out, he's just another case of history repeating itself, you know? He was a victim, too.
A little forgiveness... you can move on.
Maybe.
Not just for him, Adam, for you.
Ah, man, uh, I'm gonna regret saying this, but I totally understand if you want to walk away from this. No hard feelings.
I'm here, aren't I?
I know, I just... you have to deal with all this baggage.
We all have baggage. You just have to find someone who you want to help you carry it. I'm applying for the job.
This is the only thing I have of my dad's. The only thing I ever wanted. Favorite memory as a kid was going to the record store with him (He plays With A Girl Like You by The Troggs)
That'd be another point for you.
