I Am David - Seeking Help Amidst Fear and Trust
Sophie:
David, if there’s something troubling you, I’d very much like to help you if I can.
David:
Please… don’t turn me in.
Sophie:
Turn you in to whom?
David:
To them. To him. To anyone!
Sophie:
I wouldn’t dream of turning you in to anybody, for any reason! You’re quite safe here, David. You’re safe!
David:
From the guards?
Sophie:
From everybody!
David:
I want to tell you everything, Sophie… but I can’t. I just can’t.
Sophie:
David, you don’t have to tell me anything. I just want you to know that you’re safe here, and that everything will be all right.
