Story-Telling Unit: Idea Development - The Psychologist

I find the idea of including a psychologist interesting; it could provide some background information or present personality traits of the father.

Possible quotes:

Psychologist: "What about death? Do you want Mr. Telson dead?"
Father: "Of course; any parent who'd lost their child would want the guy responisble dead."
Psychologist: "Forgive me but...would you want to be the er...say, 'cause'...of Mr. Telson's death?"
Father: "You're asking if I would kill him?"
Psychologist: "Yes...I am."
Father:[Pause] I don't know...I'd want him to suffer but...I don't think I could do it myself..."


End of film:

Psychologist: "Mr. Roberts...do you er...do you think James could still be alive?"
Father: [Long Pause, we can hear his voice break a little] No...I don't think [exhales in a way to calm hismelf down] I don't think James is alive..."

Psychologist: "Mr. Roberts...how do you think you would react or behave...if it turned out Mr. Telson was innocent?"
Father: [Immediately] He isn't."
[several seconds of silence, as if the psychologist is taken aback by the father's confidence]
Psychologist: "And why do you believe that?"
Father: "He was there...he took my boy...I just know..."
