but he doesn't want you to ask anything.
And you really shouldn't stare at him.
How am I going to interview
if I can't ask questions?
It's the best it's gonna get. I'm sorry.
Can I ask you a question? If he's so
troubled, why are you letting him out?
What if he does it again?
It happens all the time.
He's free, his time's up.
That's the rules.
He's been treated, re-evaluated
and doesn't show any signs anymore.
- Signs?
- Homicidal signs.
Miss. I'm sorry,
but you're gonna have to step outside.
Why?
Please?
in here for Karl.
I hope you can still see to write.
I reckon what you is wanting to know
is what I'm a-doin' in here.
I reckon the reason I'm in here
is 'cause I've killed somebody.
I reckon what you is a-wantin' to know
is how come me to kill somebody,
so I reckon I'll start
at the front and tell you.
I lived out back of my mother
and father's place most of my life,
in a little old shed
that my daddy had built for me.
They didn't want me up there
in the house with the rest of 'em.
So mostly, I just sat around out there
in the shed, a-lookin' at the ground.
I didn't have no floor out there.
But I had me a hole dug out
to lay down in.
A quilt or two to put down there.
My father was a hardworking man
most of his life.
Not that I can say the same for myself.
I mostly sat around
out there in the shed,
tinkered around
with a lawn mower or two.
Went to school off and on
from time to time.
But the children out there,
they were very cruel to me.
Made quite a bit of sport of me.
Made fun of me quite a bit.
So mostly, I just sat around
out there in the shed.
at the saw mill,
down at the planer mill
for an old man named Dixon.
