Disappearance of Daniel Hand Flashcards
I said, you stuck here for the night? You got any money?
No.
Stuck?
What?
Yes you do.
I’m sorry.
-Excuse me-
You do.
What:
-I said you’ve got some money.
Some change at least…
I don’t have any money for you. I’m sorry.
You can’t keep running away.
…?
…Are you afraid?
Of you?
…
Here’s five dollars-
You don’t have to give me that much-
I want to- for your- bus.
You’re afraid to touch me.
I didn’t touch you-
I know: you touched the cup. Barely. You didn’t want to touch the cup; with your hand.
-Why are you taking a bus?
…?
You’re in a train station-
Trains don’t take me where I’m going.
…That sounds poetic…
Does it?
Yeah. Like a song lyric.
…
…
-Buses are cheaper, that’s all.
That’s good to know…
-What is?
That you’re not lying. -Sometimes I see these signs and I think people are lying…
Do you always think people are lying?
(Shrug)
People are frightened of me…
It upsets me. I’m dirty. I’m depressed. But mostly because I’m dirty and asking for help….
People don’t like to be asked for help. Why is that?
…
How old am I?
I don’t know.
No - guess:
I don’t know-
Come on:
Twenty-two.
Seventeen.
Me too!
Just turned it.
-So did I-
Yeah?
Yeah. In Septemeber?
Wow. Cool… We must be the same sign…
…Are you making fun of me?
A little…
(Smile too)
You want to sit down?
…Sure.
…That your camera?
Uh-huh.
Expensive…
Not really.
How much did it cost you?
I got it - as a gift.
Like a Christmas present? Or your birthday?
For my birthday. From my dad.
…That’s cool…
Why are you here? You know: begging.
I ran away; about a year ago…
Why?
I didn’t want to be home, I guess.
How’d you do it? - How’d you run away?
