Transcript[]
Noah is in front of a mirror. | |
Noah | Okay. Just rehearse what you want to say. Then, unlike in movies, actually say it to him. |
Noah | Years ago, after Damien killed my father, you took me in. You did not have to say yes when they asked you to, but you did. |
Noah | I have always had trouble knowing what to call you. Adrian felt wrong, Mr Raven seemed impersonal... I have often just called you "sir", though I know you did not like it. |
Noah | Over time, however... We are a family now, and... Would it be all right if I called you "dad"? |
Noah | Of course, you might think that is weird. You probably do think that is weird. And you can't father children of your own, so it's likely this a sore subject... |
Noah | ...I do not think I will be asking you this today. |
