How did your father act when he wasn't happy with you?
He... He called me names.
What else?
He called me a baby.
What else?
He called me a fag and a pussy, alright?
Like when you couldn't shoot the deer.
Yeah, right.
He wasn't proud of you.
No. He said until further notice, I was a little girl. He called me Samantha. Threw one of Mom's dresses at me, told me to wear it.
Did he hit you?
No. He said I deserved it, though, but he'd never hit a girl.
The moment before you shot your classmates, what was going through your head?
[mutters] Be a man.
Can you speak up, Sam?
Be a man! This voice in my head kept saying, "Do it, be a man, be a man!" [jumps up from the stand, screaming at his father] BE A MAN! I DIDN'T FLINCH, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
