Henry: do I even have a reason to justify that? I'm sorry please..
Samuel: you didn't visit her because I refused opening the door for you that night! Because i refused seeing you?
Henry: kept quiet...
Samuel: hmmm.. I see! Henry is that enough reason for you to neglect her. I know she's not your mom.. but you can at least let me know you won't be going.. I would have quit my Job and go take carr of my mom...

Henry: I'm sorry 😞.. im truly sorry sam.. i swearr. I know I'm wrong.. i allowed my emotions get the best of me.. I was angryy that you left me alone. You didn't care about us.. that is what I thought..
Samuel: you know nothing Henry... you're older than me but I have more control over my feelings than you..
Henry: hmmm.. I know you're right.. but this is only when I'm with you..
I'm not thinking straight either.. I just want you to be with me and that is all.. but I guess I wasn't considerate enough.. I was selfish.. im sorry
Samuel: your mom knows what is going on..
Henry: huh? Knows what ?
Samuel: she knows what we're doing? She saw us that night.
Henry: Jesussss.. and why didn't you tell me?
What did she said to you? And why didn't you tell me?
Samuel: I would have lost my Job by now.. she said she will call the police on mè ..
Henry: what? She said so? Why did you keep all of this to yourself..
Samuel: hmmm... you want me to stay in cèll?
Henry: she doesn't has the right to say that to you...
Samuel: hmm don't worry about that again.. I have made my decision already..
