POLICE OFFICER: Will you have tea?

CYNTHIA: Yes, thanks.

POLICE OFFICER: Most of the cripples you work with are the school children who were trying to rise against the government in 1976.

[Silence]

More tea?

CYNTHIA: NO thanks.

POLICE OFFICER: I am sure you will want to help us in our investigations. Those children talk with you, right? About themselves … their families … their friends …

CYNTHIA: Sometimes. Yes.

POLICE OFFICER: And about their mates who are planning to … as they say, skip the country to join the terrorists.

CYNTHIA: Even if they had such information they wouldn't discuss it with me.

POLICE OFFICER: You know that there are many of these children who have escaped to neighbouring countries to join the terrorists?

CYNTHIA: All I know is what I read in newspapers.

POLICE OFFICER [cynically]: I believe you, e h … Cynthia. I believe you. And of course when you have … eh, information you'll let us know.

So long. I am sure we'll meet again soon.

CYNTHIA: At first I was intimidated. But when I became a regular guest of the interrogation chambers I became defiant. They got nasty. I became more defiant.
