Transcript
(Gregory is sitting in front of the camera, and we see Clara's hands with a microphone battery pack.)
Gregory: Uh, so tell me about yourself.
Clara: Uh, well... I'm a senior at SFA and uh... this is, like, the last thing I have to do before I graduate in August, that's if Arscott approves, (Clara attaches the mic to Gregory's shirt.) and hopefully... hopefully its almost done. I have a few more interviews, and then I'll be... I'll be getting it all together.
Gregory: Why did you choose this topic? Did you know Maddison, my daughter?
Clara: Um, no not really... I mean... yeah we had the same friends, but we really didn't hang out that much and um... (unintelligible) she is. So, uhh, I've seen her around on campus. But pretty much...
Gregory: But, so why did you choose this topic?
Clara: Um, I'm sorry Mr. Atkins but Dr. Arscott that kind of appointed this to me. He felt there wasn't enough coverage on, you know, the news or on campus so he figured he could give it to me. There's still enough time to catch that, you know, raw emotion.
Gregory: Well, ok, um... Ok, so lets get started.
Clara: Yeah ok, could you speak your name for me so I could get some audio.
Gregory: My name? . . . It's Gregory Atkins.
Clara: Good... All right, well... lets get started. How has the death of Maddison Atkins affected your family.
(Gregory stares off-camera (at Clara) incredulously)
Gregory: What?! What kind of question is that?! You, you actually need to talk to your advisor to find out how to ask questions about people.
Clara: I'm sorry. I really, really... I didn't mean to upset you, I'm just...
Gregory: No, Jesus, um. You know, I'm sorry. It's just I don't know what you are trying to do here. I don't think you do either. What do you want from me? Are you, do you want some sort of reaction, do you want to know that I am a destroyed person?

(long pause.)
You know I don't think that I am ready for this. Um, it's not your fault. It's just, uh... I think we need to reschedule it, some other time. Um, actually, I brought these. (Gregory takes out keys and hands them off-camera (to Clara))
Clara: What are these?
Gregory: That's the keys to Maddison's apartment. Um, police really tore it up and my wife, she's... She goes over there and tries to clean it up. But I... I think its its a way you might get to know Maddison a little better, and uh, maybe there is some part of her left there, I don't know. But we'll reschedule, I'm sorry, I truly am. (He removes his microphone.) I didn't mean for any of this to happen. So uh, I'm going to take a walk, ok?
