PSYCHIATRIST: Why do you sleep so badly, Boris? Is it that you can't get to sleep or do you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep?
BORIS: No, I have nightmares. During the day as well. I hear them. They talk to me constantly. My father and the others. They don't like me to stay here in the West. And that's why they talk to me. Boris do this; Boris, you mustn't do that; Boris, what are you waiting for? I can't stop them. I've done bad things and they know that.
PSYCHIATRIST: Those voices, do you hear them inside your head or outside, in the room or from outdoors?
BORIS: No, no, In my head.
PSYCHIATRIST: Do you want to continue? I will interrupt you when I think it's getting to difficult.
BORIS: I have to keep thinking ahead. I have to stay ahead of them. A step ahead. Collect all possible information. Never do anything without any information, then you have a chance. You have to know which way the escape route is, that's the most important thing, because. When they come you only have fifteen seconds to get away. No more.

BORIS: It isn't safe for me here either. I don't have a residence permit yet, I'm in the middle of the procedure. You people you haven't got the slightest idea. Look now at the people of the IND. They think they're clever, they think they know everything, they think they know what it's like, what war is like. And they invent a new question to catch you out. Since I've been here I've at least told my whole story three times. The first time I didn't even realised that I was in this country.

BORIS:
You people you haven't got the slightest idea.
And here. The first thing you're allowed to do is to get undressed. They look down your throat and up your bottom. Are you who you say you are? They keep nagging at me.
You can put ten or a hundred stamps on all the forms, make prints of all my fingers, and computerscans or what have you not, but you still donít know who I am. Turn me inside out. Then you will see something.
