Geddes and Nathan in “Unfinished Business”

[during Nathan's testimony]

Why did you kill Ted Carthage?

NNathan

I don't know.

Didn't he kill your mom?

NNathan

Yeah.

So are you lying when you say you don't know?

NNathan

I'm not lying.

Was your mom a prostitute?

NNathan

I don't know.

Did you have a nice apartment when she was alive?

NNathan

It was okay.

Was there a lot of crime in the neighborhood?

NNathan

I guess.

Did you have a nice life, Nathan?

NNathan

Yes.

Doesn't sound like it. How old were you when your dad was stabbed to death?

NNathan

6.

If you could, would you shoot the guy that stabbed your dad, just like you shot Ted Carthage?

NNathan

No.

No?! Why not?! He stabbed your father!

NNathan

I don't wanna kill anybody!

Sure. You did. You were angry.

NNathan

No!

Yeah, Ted Carthage killed your mother. You hated him!

NNathan

Stop it!

You didn't kill because you saw the gun! You wanted to hurt him! You hated him, and you wanted him to die!

NNathan

[furiously jumps out of his seat] YES! I HATED HIM! ALL RIGHT?!!
