Lilly and Daryl Booker part 2
Booker: Had to drag my ass in here, didn't you? Show me you the man.
Rush: I knew you were hiding something, Booker. Eye witness saw you smoking opium with Channary, who you said... you didn't know.
Booker: So I knew her, big deal.
Rush: No big deal, Why lie?
Booker: I got a theory about you. Why you got it in for me.
Rush: Answer the questions.
Booker: Because I did for Kara what no man ever did for you.
Rush: You mean lie to her? Pretend you're something you're not?
Booker: Taking interest in her. You didn't have no father, did you?
Rush: I got a theory about you too, Daryl. I think that massacre you did in Vietnam got under your skin.
Booker: You don't know nothing about that.
Rush: I've seen pictures, of Channary. She... was beautiful.
Booker: Yes, she was.
Rush: You tried to get her to leave Sen but she wouldn't, so you snapped, killed them both in a rage, then adopted Kara cause you felt guilty!
Booker: No!
Rush: You were on that corner that night buying for her, weren't you?
Booker: Channary was in agony.
Rush: So you helped her? With opium?
Booker: On the outside she was in peace, serene. Inside she was dying.
Rush: Answer the question!
Booker: Yes, I was buying for her. But the fool that was selling was late. Past ten thirty. Pass the time those shot were fired.
Rush: This fool have a name?
Booker: Name and address, he'll tell ya.
Rush: So, you've had an alibi all this time.
Booker: You think I want Kara knowing her mom was an opium fiend? That she was like me?
Rush: Like you? How?
Booker: Damaged goods.
Rush: You were in love with her, weren't you?
Booker: First time we met. I knew we, she had a mutual interest in forgetting about the past.
[flashback]
Rush: Why not tell Kara you loved her mother?
Booker: Can't. Without her finding out how busted up her mom was inside. She don't need to know that.
Rush: Maybe not?
Booker: Sure she don't need to know who their parents really are. Just who they want them to be.
Rush: You don't believe in the truth?
Booker: Not if it hurts more than it helps. You're not gonna tell Kara, are you?
