| Quotes |
[as Leonard Dawson commits suicide by falling to his death, Robert's last letter is heard]
Robert Dawson: Father... please forgive me for having to leave my last message like this. I swear it'll be my first, and only opposition to you. Father, thank you for the enormous love you gave me for 29 years. I still remember my sixth birthday, when you baked the only cake you ever made for me. It was delicious. I also remember my high school graduation, where you cried the only tears you ever shed for me. It was very grateful. And thank you so much for you all your kindness to my wife Laura, and my daughter Emily. Father... I know you have such terribly high hopes for me, and being incapable of fulfilling those hopes, and having to push them away caused me terrible pain. Because you see, father... I couldn't even have the courage to put an end my own life. So I have decided to ask someone else to kill me. I believe... that he will do a good job. To my great father, the Emperor of Petroleum, Leonard Dawson. From your disobedient son, Robert. See more » |
