TRANSCRIPTION
BORIS: I am not sitting in that chair. I don't know what is meant to happen here, but I am not sitting in that place. Not with my back to the door!
PSYCHIATRIST:I want to begin by filling in this checklist. It's a trauma checklist. We'll go through it together and then I'd like you to fill it in by yourself.

PSYCHIATRIST: On the first page there are questions about the past, about what happened. On the other pages there are questions about the trauma symptoms. Have a good look through them.
BORIS: Feeling guilty, feeling as though the traumatic experiences are happening again. Recurrent nightmares. Being ashamed, yes, yes. All of that. Yes.

BORIS: Actually, there's a great chance that they'll be sending me back, so there really is no need to begin all this. It will mean my death, if I go back. No, seriously. I should have been dead already. But I'm a bad person, so that's why I'm still alive. The good always die first.
PSYCHIATRIST: Why do you think you're a bad person, Boris?
BORIS: That's why I'm here, isn't it? That's what you're going to find out. Aren't you? What I did and why and what I should have done. But I can't do that. Because then I'll have to tell the whole story all over again, and you shouldn't ask me to do that. I just want to sleep. So very very much. I'm always, awake. And I'm so incredibly tired. I'm nothing any more, I'm not a person, I'm not a fighter, not a son, nor a brother, I'm just deep down tired.
