Look, I am sorry you were born... that way.
That's exactly what my father said. Just before he left.
Your father left?
I guess it was rough on him. His friends' sons played baseball. His carried the water bucket. His friends' sons played football. His carried the water bucket. To this day, I go crazy every time I go by a drinking fountain!
You mean your father walked out on you just because you were... petite?
The night before he left, I heard him tell my mother that it was his fault. He said that I was a punishment from God. But my mother was an intelligent and caring woman. And she finally explained it to me, that it wasn't my inadequacies he couldn't deal with.
[He looks Dan square in the eye]
It was his own.
[silence]
[guiltily] Is it true you can hang yourself with your own belt?
You can do it with your own words.
[stands] Vincent, I am truly sorry for everything that I said and did. You may shoot me in the vital organ of your choice.
Apology accepted. I'll get back to you on which organ.
