:27:00
-What did you say?
-l tell you to leave here at once.
:27:06
-Goodbye, Alan.
-Wait for me.
:27:11
l must ask you never to come here again.
:27:13
You think l want to? Do you think l want to?
:27:17
-What on earth has got into you?
-lnto me?
:27:19
Can't you see the boy's highly distressed?
He's at the most delicate stage of treatment.
:27:24
He's totally exposed, ashamed,
everything you can imagine.
:27:28
And me? What about me?
:27:30
What do you think l am?
:27:34
l'm a parent. Of course, that doesn't count.
lsn't it a dirty word in here, ''parent''?
:27:38
-You know that's not true.
-l know it, all right.
:27:42
l've heard it all my life.
lt's our fault. Whatever happens, we did it.
:27:47
You say to us, ''Who forbids television?
Who does what behind whose back?''
:27:51
As if we're criminals.
:27:54
Let me tell you something.
We're not criminals.
:27:57
We've done nothing wrong.
:27:59
We loved Alan.
We gave him the best love we could.
:28:04
Poor Frank digs into the boy too much,
but nothing in excess.
:28:07
He's not a bully.
:28:10
No, Doctor.
:28:12
Whatever has happened...
:28:15
has happened because of Alan.
:28:18
lf you added up everything we did to him,
from his first day on earth to this...
:28:22
you wouldn't find out
why he did this terrible thing.
:28:29
Do you understand what l'm saying?
:28:32
l want you to understand...
:28:33
because l lie awake, thinking it out.
:28:38
And l want you to know l deny it absolutely,
what he's doing now.
:28:43
Staring at me,
attacking me for what he's done...
:28:48
for what he is.
:28:54
Mrs. Strang!
