Are you all right, Mr. Perry?

[had_not_lived]

I--

My father's here. I dunno how he got into our apartment.

[banditfox]

If it's of a personal nature, I won't pry, but I would hope his presence doesn't become too odious.

[had_not_lived]

He won't leave.

He-- He can't make me do anything here, can he? They won't let him, will they?

[banditfox]

He's only an apparition. You make your own choices.

[had_not_lived]

I'm not quitting.

[banditfox]

There's no reason that you should.

[had_not_lived]

[banditfox]

[had_not_lived]

I-- the play. Tonight. I was in one at home-- I always wanted to act, and he wouldn't let me... he tried to make me to drop out the night before, when I got a role in Midsummer, and because I wouldn't...

It... didn't go well, is all.

[banditfox]

Ignore him. He's not real. He's not staying.

[had_not_lived]

Thank God.
