Case #38 Video
[George is eating an orange. And so can you!
He's also thirty-one again. Yes, George is thirty-one. I know.]
I don't think anyone was poorly done by that, were they? It is a bit strange to recall that I couldn't have even pictured myself as a police officer at that age, as now I can't picture myself as being anything else. Besides a detective, obviously. And a writer.
[George chews thoughtfully.]
Although...I don't believe any of the lads back home always yearned to join the constabulary. Not at our station, anyway. I am pleased it's something modern children seem to dream of.
...I also think you all might appreciate indoor plumbing just a bit more than you do. It really is fantastic.

Re: [Private]
[George proudly films his foot. It has a boot on it, but still.]
And I quite look forward to the reading.
Re: [Private]
[tried this? No whatever gave you that idea.]
...Good. I wanted..I dunno I figured maybe at some point we could talk cop stuff.

[he stops] it's nothing. Forget it. It's stupid to think I-

[Who else are you going to talk to about this?]
...since being here I've been killed, mutilated, and killed and mutilated in turn. Not to mention the 9 cops I killed. And my friends.
[He's been struggling with this.] ...I hate myself. For what I did.

[he's cranky because it's the new years and he can't drink. And he got alcohol for Christmas and he still can't drink.
He is...really trying.]
...Tell me goddamnit!
Re: [Private]
Re: [Private]
[He both wants to do right and doesn't. The prospect of facing how much his life has changed and how he really should completely devote himself to the service of others
He can't face it. He knows he did wrong. He doesn't want to. He sounds petulant and angry-despite his words.]
.....what should I do?
Re: [Private]
Re: [Private]
[There's a thunk. Hoffman leaves the camera behind. When he comes back, he's holding the hamster in his hands.]
...The only option that I see is a life of complete and utter atonement-alone.
Re: [Private]
How would your being alone help people?
Re: [Private]
...never mind.
