Mr. Trask.
1:47:29
Mr. Trask, can you hear me?
1:47:32
Is it just Cal you won't answer?
1:47:36
Can you answer?
1:47:39
I think you can understand me, though.
1:47:42
I think behind your eyes
you're just as alert as ever.

1:47:47
You understand everything I say
only you can't show it.

1:47:58
ABRA: Excuse me, Mr. Trask,
for daring to speak to you this way...

1:48:02
but it's awful not to be loved.
It's the worst thing in the world.

1:48:09
Don't ask me how I know that.
I just know it.

1:48:12
It makes you mean and violent and cruel.
1:48:15
And that's the way
Cal has always felt, all his life.

1:48:20
I know you didn't mean it to be that way,
but it's true.

1:48:25
You never gave him your love.
You never asked him for his.

1:48:31
You never asked him for one thing.
1:48:34
ABRA: Cal is going away, Mr. Trask.
But before he goes...

1:48:40
ABRA: He did something very bad,
and I'm not asking you to forgive him.

1:48:44
You have to give him some sign
that you love him...

1:48:47
or else he'll never be a man.
1:48:50
He'll just keep on feeling guilty
and alone, unless you release him.

1:48:56
Please, help him.
1:48:58
I love Cal, Mr. Trask,
and I want him to be whole and strong...
