my sister sent me a picture, i don t have it anymore, of me and my brother when i was 4 years old. and i thought, what turned that kid, that innocent kid, into what i see in the mirror, into the monster? and i didn t know. i couldn t think it out. i started going back in my life, as far back as i could remember. it seemed to me that the turning point was with the mosquitos and the alcohol. an unhappy childhood doesn t justify murder. the counselors ask brook to identify the emotional triggers that cost susan worthen her life. and what i know about people who grew up that way, they try to find ways to feel like they have power or control. did you find other ways to try to feel like you had power and control?

(under his breath) hey man! hey peter. (unenthusiastic) oh. ha ha ha! joanne? is that you? it s me. you don t look a day over 70. am i right? jingle jingle. if you re peter pan, you stay young forever. it s what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. you make me feel so young. it s what you do. you make me feel so spring has sprung.
