The Good Son
Boundaries in Sibling Relationships
Connie Guess what? Mom said we can go skating tomorrow.
Henry Connie, what did I tell you about coming into my room?
Connie But you guys aren't working on anything.
Henry You didn't answer my question, so I'm gonna do it for you. You're not allowed to come into my room. Not now, not ever! Never!
[As Henry speaks, he grabs Connie by her ears, and she cries]
Mark You're wrong about that! This is my room, too. And I say she can stay.
[Pins Henry against the wall; He and Henry begin pulling each other's hair]
Connie Mom, Mom, they're fighting!
[running downstairs]

Unanswered Questions About Richard's Death
Susan Henry?
Henry Yes, Mom?
Susan You never told me. What happened the night that Richard died?
Henry Don't you know?
Susan I'd like to hear it coming from you.
Henry I was downstairs, playing.
Susan Henry, don't lie to me, alright? Just... don't lie to me. Now, you tell me. Did you kill Richard?
Henry What if I did?

The Good Son
Confronting Death and Its Consequences
Henry Go on.
[offering Mark a cigarette]
Mark They give you cancer.
Henry Who cares? You're gonna die anyway.
Henry Did you see your mom after she was dead?
Mark I wanted to. They wouldn't let me.
Henry You should've made them let you. It's very important. See, people don't like to talk about death. That's why you have to investigate. It's scientific.
Mark It doesn't feel like that.
Henry What did your mom look like the last time you saw her?
Mark Kinda pale.
Henry Kinda pale. I took a real good look when my kid brother Richard drowed in the bathtub.
Mark Your brother drowned?
Henry He was completely blue. You should've looked at her eyes and lips and touched her skin to see what it felt like-hot, cold.
Mark Just shut up about my mom!
Henry Hey, don't get mad. I'm just trying to be scientific.
Mark Just shut up or I'll hit you!
Henry Try it...'...and I'll throw you down there.
[throws his cigarette down the well]
Mark Oh, yeah?
Henry Hey, look. I'm sorry. That was really dumb of me. I know how I'd feel if I didn't have a mom. Friends?
[coming around; holds his hand out]
Mark Okay.
[hastily; shakes Henry's hand]

Reflections on Choices and Consequences
Mark Evans Henry is gone, and the rest of us are safe. But sometimes- late at night- I find myself thinking... not about Henry, but about Susan. And wondering. If she had to do it over, would she make the same choice? I guess I'll always wonder... but I know I'll never ask.

Fear and the Pursuit of Fun
Henry I feel sorry for you, Mark. You just don't know how to have fun.
Mark What?
Henry It's because you're scared all the time. I know. I used to be scared too. But that was before I found out.
Mark Found out what?
Henry That once you realize that you can do anything... you're free. You can fly. Nobody can touch you... nobody. Mark... don't be afraid to fly.
Mark You're sick...
Henry Hey, I promised you something amazing, didn’t I? Something you'll never forget. Where's the gratitude?

A Mother’s Connection Beyond Understanding

The Importance of Communication in Healing
Alice Susan told me you were here. I guess you forgot our appointment.
Mark I just didn't feel like talking.
Alice Talking helps. It helped the last time, didn't it?
Mark You're a doctor. You know things.
Alice Well, some things.
Mark What do you think? What makes people evil?
Alice Evil" is a word people use when they've given up trying to understand someone. There's a reason for everything if we can just find it.
Mark What if there isn't a reason? What if something just is?
Alice Why, Mark? Do you think you're evil? Cos you let your mother die? You know that's not true.
Mark What if there was this boy? And he did these terrible things because he liked doing them? Wouldn't you say he was evil?
Alice I don't believe in evil.
Mark You should.
