Matthew quickly runs into his room. Beth: Paul, what did you say to him? Paul: I only asked him if he was hungry, and then he ran into his room. Beth: You're fucking too much, you make him confused. Paul: I don't confuse him. Beth: yes, you do. Paul: No, enough is enough. Paul wants to talk with Matthew, he goes into Matthew, he looks sad. Paul can see that Matthew is sad, and sits down beside him. Matthew: What do you want? Paul: I want to talk with you. Matthew looks down at the floor, he is sad. Paul: you don't have to be afraid. Matthew: You're right, I don't belong here, I don't belong anywhere, and you don't like that I'm here. Paul: I'm just confused, just like you are. Matthew: are you? Paul: Yes, me and Beth dosen't have children, we have always been busy with our work, when she told me that you should stay here for a while, it was hard for me, and i want to say that i'm sorry, because I called you a thief. Matthew: I was just hungry. Paul: I know. Matthew: but you don't trust me, because i'm from the street, and you don't understand what it's like to live on the street, with no home and no money. Paul: Yeah, i don't understand, you're right about that, but it must not have been an easy life to live on the street in all these years. Matthew: it was hard. Paul: do you wanna talk about it? Matthew: Yeah, my mother died after she gave birth to me on the street, she was poor and homeless, and my father died when I was ten years, he died on my birthday, he was poor and homeless just like my mom, that's all I can remember, and then i lived by myself on the street, it was my 14th birthday, that day Beth found me on the street. Paul: That's very sad, do you think that can you forgive me? Matthew: Yes i can. Paul: Thanks, i want to help you too. Matthew: are you sure that you want to help me?
