WHICH WILL HELP TO GIVE YOU

SOME IDEA OF THEIR BACKGROUND.

AS YOU'LL SEE, THERE'S A GHOS MEMBER THAT I'M DEALING WITH HERE:

A SON WHO WAS GIVEN UP

FOR ADOPTION.

THOUGH THE SHAPE

OF THE ABSENT CHILD

PLACED A STRESS:

ON THE FAMILY'S EQUILIBRIUM,

THIS SESSION PROVED

QUITE EFFECTIVE:

IN RELEASING THE TYRANNY

OF THEIR MISSING SON.

I HOPE YOU FIND IT HELPFUL.

WHY DO YOU THINK

YOUR DAUGHTER LEFT HOME?

-BECAUSE SHE DON'T RESPECT ME,

THAT'S WHY.

-WHY DO YOU THINK

SHE DOESN'T RESPECT YOU?

-BECAUSE SHE AC LIKE A BIG SHOT.

-IN WHAT WAY?

-THE WAY SHE DRESSES.

LOOK AT HER.

-IS THAT ALL YOU'RE ANGRY ABOUT,

GEORGE? HER CLOTHES?

-SHE DRESS LIKE A...

LIKE A WHORE.

-DO YOU THINK SHE'S A WHORE?

WHEN YOU TALK,

DO YOU LISTEN TO HER?

-YES.

-SHE DOESN'T THINK THAT YOU DO.

-SHE DON'T LISTEN TO ME!

-THEN WHY DO YOU TREAT HER

LIKE A CHILD?

-BECAUSE SHE MAKE ME ANGRY.

-HOW?

-HUH... JUST... SHE JUST...

SHE JUST DOES.

-ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT ANGRY

ABOUT YOUR SON, GEORGE?

ABOUT BEDROS?

ARE YOU SORRY THAT HE'S NOT HERE

TO MAKE THINGS BETTER,

TO FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS?

ARE YOU ANGRY WITH AZAH

BECAUSE SHE REJECTS THE VALUES

YOU BELIEVE YOUR SON

WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED?

YOU GAVE YOUR SON AWAY

WHEN YOU CAME TO THIS COUNTRY.

-WE HAD NO MONEY.

-SO YOU GAVE HIM AWAY.

A FEW YEARS LATER, YOU HAD

A DAUGHTER. YOU KEPT HER.

SHE'S IN THIS ROOM

WITH US RIGHT NOW.

DOES THAT UPSET YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, SONYA?

-I WANT US TO BE HAPPY.

-ALL RIGHT. LET'S PLAY

A LITTLE GAME.

I WANT US TO PRETEND

THAT I'M YOUR SON.

THAT I'M BEDROS.

LET'S SAY THAT I'VE JUST COME

INTO THIS ROOM.

HI, SONYA.

HI, GEORGE.

AREN'T YOU GONNA HUG ME?

ARE YOU AFRAID THAT I WON' LISTEN TO YOU EITHER?

DO YOU THINK THA I'LL FIND YOU IGNORANT?

THAT I'LL BE EMBARRASSED

BY YOUR ACCENT?

WELL, I AM.

YOU'RE JUST A LOUS Y FOREIGNER,

A LOUS Y PEASANT!

NO WONDER PEOPLE DON' TRUST YOU... YOU SMELL!

-GEORGE! GEORGE!

-DON'T HIT ME, GEORGE!

GO ON, HIT YOUR SON

AS HARD AS YOU WANT!

Dr. Sarah:
DID EVERYONE

HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY

TO LOOK AT THE TAPE

FROM OUR LAST MEETING?

GOOD.

WELL, LET'S STAR WITH YOU, PETER.

WHAT DID YOU THINK

OF WHAT YOU SAW?

-WELL, I THOUGHT YOU DID

A VERY GOOD JOB.

-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

-WELL, OF POINTING OU WHAT THE PROBLEMS WERE.

YOU DISPLAYED A GREA SENSITIVITY. VERY POLISHED.

-AND WHAT DO YOU THINK

THE PROBLEM IS?

-OH, THAT'S OBVIOUS:

I'M JUST BORED.

-NOW PETER, DON'T SAY THAT.

-NO. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.

-DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THINGS?

-YES.

-SO WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO?

-WELL, I THOUGHT I'D, YOU KNOW,

GO AWAY FOR A WHILE... BE ALONE.

FEEL LIKE I'M RESPONSIBLE.

-I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
