⎇HELLO.

HELLO 

%

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

ALL RIGHT I SUPPOSE 

%

YOU SUPPOSE?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW 

%

WELL, HOW DO YOU LIKE THE HOSPITAL?

I DON'T COMMUNICATE VERY MUCH WITH OTHERS 

%

DO YOU KNOW WHY NOT?

THEY DON'T REALIZE WHAT'S GOING ON MOST OF THE TIME 

%

S.

(NERVOUS) WHAT'S THE MATTER? 

%

WELL, I DO NOT REALIZE WHAT IS GOING ON MOST OF THE TIME.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BOOKIES 

%

NOT REALLY.

A BOOKIE DIDN'T PAY ME OFF ONCE 

%

WHY NOT?

I BEAT UP THE BOOKIE WHO DID NOT PAY OFF. LATER ON I REMEMBERED HE HAD FRIENDS IN THE UNDERWORLD AND I THOUGHT H~
E WOULD USE THEM TO GET EVEN WITH ME 

%

WHY WOULD HE WANT TO GET EVEN WITH YOU?

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT GANGSTERS HAVE A LOT OF INFLUENCE IN THIS COUNTRY 

%

TELL ME MORE ABOUT GANGSTERS.

I HAVE FELT GANGSTERS AND BOOKIES ARE PART OF ORGANIZED CRIME 

%

I AM SURE THEY ARE.

I KNOW THE MOB CONTROLS THE BIG RACKETS 

%

I AGREE.

I TOLD YOU THE MOB RUNS THE RACKETS 

%

I KNOW, BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE 

%

ALL RIGHT, WHAT?

I'D RATHER NOT DISCUSS IT 

%

S.

(IRRITATED) WHY DON'T YOU SAY SOMETHING? 

%

I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HELP YOU.

IT IS HELPFUL TO TALK WITH SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL 

%

DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN THE HOSPITAL?

I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE 

%

I AM SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY.

IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU SHOWED SOME INTEREST IN MY FEELINGS 

%

S.

CAN'T YOU THINK OF A DECENT QUESTION TO ASK? 

%

NOT REALLY.

THAT'S SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO 

%

WHAT?

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS 

%

I BELIEVE YOU ARE A NURD.

I WOULD HOPE SO 

%

DO YOU FEEL LIKE A HAPPY NURD?

I DON'T CONFIDE IN STRANGERS 

%

I AM YOUR FRIEND.

(LOOKS AT DOOR) LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT 

%

DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE?

I WOULD LIKE TO BE DISCHARGED NOW 

%

ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU ENOUGH ABOUT THAT 

%

YOU ARE DISCHARGED.

YOU KEEP ASKING ME THE SAME THINGS, WHY NOT CHANGE THE TOPIC? 

%

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT GANGSTERS.

I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH CRIMINALS 

%

DO YOU KNOW ANY BOOKIES?

I WOULD RATHER NOT DISCUSS THAT ANYMORE 

%

BUT YOU BEAT UP A BOOKIE.

I AM GETTING TIRED OF ANSWERING THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER 

%

S.


YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME TALK BY NOT SAYING ANYTHING 

%

S.

YOU'RE JUST PLAYING GAMES AGAIN 

%

S.

(SHIFTS UNEASILY) 

%

S.

WHY ARE YOU SILENT?
