- | Okay, so the three things were, | 0:00 |
let me see if I can remember them all now. | 0:03 | |
Here's where Mamdu and I went | 0:06 | |
on our first date. | 0:09 | |
Years ago. | 0:12 | |
Here's the first gift he ever gave to me | 0:15 | |
when we were dating. | 0:19 | |
And when our oldest son was sick | 0:21 | |
and he was in the hospital | 0:27 | |
and we spent all night in the hospital | 0:29 | |
at his bedside, | 0:31 | |
where were our other kids? | 0:33 | |
Where did they stay? | 0:36 | |
Well I thought those were great examples, | 0:37 | |
and I know the answers to those questions, | 0:39 | |
I've never repeated them out loud except to Mamdu. | 0:41 | |
I've never, because it's for the reasons | 0:44 | |
that I described, right? | 0:47 | |
It's nobody's business. | 0:49 | |
But I told him those three things. | 0:51 | |
I said, "I want to tell you, | 0:53 | |
(indistinct) told us these things." | 0:55 | |
And I told them the answers to those three questions, | 0:56 | |
those questions and those answers. | 0:59 | |
And up until that time, he had had | 1:01 | |
this completely dead, indifferent, | 1:03 | |
detached presence, | 1:08 | |
not even an affect, | 1:12 | |
because an affect suggests that what you're describing is... | 1:12 | |
and it wasn't even there. | 1:16 | |
It's like you're talking to a cat, right? | 1:17 | |
Who's just looking at you occasionally blinking. | 1:20 | |
Its not ... | 1:22 | |
And when I told him these things | 1:25 | |
And of course, you remember, | 1:27 | |
he had his hands and his feet are shackled. | 1:28 | |
This is a guy who's feet are shackled, | 1:30 | |
he can't cross his leg like this, | 1:32 | |
it's just, his feet are shackled there, | 1:34 | |
at my request the guards had taken the shackles | 1:36 | |
off of his wrists, | 1:38 | |
but that's the first time his shackles | 1:39 | |
had been off his wrists | 1:40 | |
outside of the little cage that he's in, | 1:41 | |
in years. | 1:43 | |
And he looked at me for a long time | 1:46 | |
and then he dropped his head and started to cry | 1:48 | |
and he started to sob | 1:51 | |
and the tears are just falling down. | 1:53 | |
And then he looked back up, | 1:55 | |
tears in his eyes, | 1:57 | |
and he said to me, "Joe, we have so much work to do." | 1:58 | |
And that's when I knew, now I have a client. | 2:03 |
