So let's call and ask him.

Not yet.

He said the papers would be

delivered to the house on Tuesday.

So you came down here early.

Give her some time

to think about it.

And what's she gonna do?

Oh, she'll probably

go along with it.

She'll say things to her friends,

suck around for sympathy.

"Poor little thing."

"The prick."

What's she like?

What's she interested in?

Do you mind me asking?

No, I don't mind.

Uh, my drinking, that's a popular subject.

"How many drinks have you had, Frank?"

Or, "Where's Bo? It's late.

He's not home yet."

Bo, that's something I'm gonna have

to deal with in the settlement.

She is his mother.

I'm not gonna argue that.

But it's all right.

He and I'll see each other.

I'd like to meet your son.

Well, someday you will,

if you don't take

that big canvas bag

of yours and take off somewhere.

I'm not gonna take off. Hmm.

Yeah?

I wanna go to the bathroom.

You got the mask?

Oh, yeah. Hold on.

You think that dude

You hit him.

I didn't hit him that hard.

You hope you didn't.

Oh.

Okay.

All right. Oh, God.

Okay. Now, when you get in

Don't like it?

You two can go

somewhere else for all I care.

Let's hurry up

No, not yet. My mask is off.

and get back out in the field

and do some reconnaissance work.

Go to the lady's house,

gain access to the premises.

Just go to Dawson's house and make

Basically.

Okay.

He was upstairs, in the closet.

Oh, this is unbelievable.

Yeah, I know.

Daniel Schechter

Daniel S.

This body of work on trauma and attachment has been cited by prominent authors in the attachment theory, psychological trauma, developmental psychobiology and neuroscience literatures more…
