Confronting Suicidal Thoughts and Desperation
Harry Well?
Ken The boy's suicidal Harry. He's a walking dead man. Keeps going on about Hell and Purgatory -
Harry When I phoned you yesterday, did I ask you Ken, would you do me a favor and become Ray's psychiatrist please? No. What I think what I asked you was "would you go blow his fucking head off for me?" "He's suicidal"? I'm suicidal, you're suicidal, everybody's fucking suicidal. We don't all keep going on about it. Has he killed himself yet? So he's not fucking suicidal, is he?
Ken He put a loaded gun to his head this morning, I stopped him.
Harry He... What? This gets fucking worse!
Ken We were down the park...
Harry Lemme get this right..."You were down the park"? What's that got to do with fucking anything? Let me get this right. Not only have you refused to kill the boy, you even stopped the boy from killing himself, which would've solved my problem, which would've solved your problem, which sounds like would've solved the boy's problem.
Ken It wouldn't have solved his problem.
