Why do I have to get up early and come to this horrendous place from the dead? Why we have to eat bread with dead meat? Why we cannot be at home with mom and my sister and eat mutton stew? I did nothing.

Father fact: No one is without sin in the eyes of God, son, even you .Boy I have done nothing. Father: (He released another slap) you mean you're as pure as God?
