I did what I asked.

All that I could.

I've been for you

you never were there for me.

You never noticed.

Ran out of the hospital.

- His mother died that night.

- I have been watching.

Since last year,

perhaps earlier. Why?

Why have recorded

my conversations?

I brought by mistake.

It is part of a plan.

We recorded all conversations

hospitals without exception.

So we access confessions

faults, desires, everything ...

Almost everything is sentimental nonsense

and destroyed ...

but if they are writers,

actors and political activists ...

never destroyed.

Government policy.

Now ...

tell me ...

What did not realize

his mother?

What did not realize

his mother?

Do not overdo it.

Come on, just been tapped.

Do not overdo it.

- Others were burned with cigarettes.

- Will you do me that?

I do not smoke.

It will happen.

Put your head

knees.

Cover your ears

gently.

Better?

Do we?

Some water, please.

If you answer my question.

What did not realize his mother?

Mothers and daughters

always discussed.

Then you do not remember

or why it was.

Do not beat me.

Do not worry.

It will happen.

Let's talk about Earth''cabinet.''

The girl, whom his mother

has locked ...

imagine that the clothes are now friends

and play with them.

The rooster tells them sympathetic

that his mother is back.

Clothes hangers and back to

she hopes to remove it. Yes?

Yes

Why are they locked?

I do not know.

I had not thought.

Think about it now.

Perhaps he ate too much cake ...

or soiled clothing

of his mother.

And so the enclosing

in a closet.

It's a little extreme, right?

There are secret meetings

in the closet.

Clothes do not come to life

until they are alone.

When the rooster,

who is watching ...

gives the warning cry,

escape.

And when the mother returns,

there is nothing.

The girl is a martyr

and the mother is a tyrant.

Sympathizes with the girl,

because he hates authority.

- Do you dislike my interpretation?

- No.

But it is just that.

Interpretation.

I can not control what

you think of my stories ...

there are people who turn

with passages from the Bible.

Earth''cabinet''

is a simple children's story.

Not a single word.

Think ...

We

Skeletons in the closet''.''

Is a hide. The Closet''''

homosexual and intellectual.

It's a dark world

and secret.

As the basement or space

under the bed at night.

All children's stories

have elements of terror.

Cruel dragons, wicked witches.

I chose everyday objects.

A closet instead of a monster.

It is the only difference.

Children's literature

is not politicized ...

because children are not.

Politics is something big.

We know that children live

for themselves in the moment.

But they can guide

within an ideology.

They are more receptive

to the subtleties ...

and is what we tried to

with history.

- It's subliminal indoctrination.

- That's absurd!

- Do not support the resistance?

- No.

- Is not it a clandestine member?

- No. I do not know politics.

Are we back to us?

Do you support our actions for peace?

I told

I do not understand politics.

He believed that non-smokers.

This is the first.

Who commissioned the story?

Where is the man in the closet?

Who is the clothing that comes to life?

We already have two coats.

The kindergarten teacher

and physical.

Who is the rooster?

How do you know when will mom?

Is it the government?

We have some suspicions.

Is not one of those activists

against the snuff?

Tome.

It was not necessary.

Know if I'll hurt you.

The suspense, no pain,

drive her crazy.

Has changed.

Tome.

- More

- He said he would tell me.

Never trust strangers.

Did not your mother say?

No, never.

I have to clear my mouth.

Sign this.

I confess that my story''

'Land of cabinets' ...

is an allegory of the struggle

underground resistance.

The protagonist of the story ...

The reader is misinformed,

whose opinion I modeled.

I have represented

government authority ...

in the character of the mother.

The clothes are insurgents.

The rooster is an official

government.''

- I can not sign.

- Why?

It's a lie!

I will not confess lies

and although Doing so ...

How do I know

which will end there?

There will be more.

Other lies, right?

The girl knew she had lost

your chance ...

opening the door

and exit.

Whatever you do

the poor girl's wardrobe ...

bad man

not for drinking.

Is so thirsty to drink

offered urine.

He did what all children do

when they are caught.

He closed his eyes tightly ...

and imagined

that escaped from hell.

I knew there was light

beyond hell ...

and elves

had left a jar ...

fresh dew for her.

So I figured ...

I was there drinking

dew on the clarity ...

far from hell.

You can not hide,

precious.

Why do not you surrender?

These doors do not open.

But do not you know?

Doors to enter,

doors to exit.

Less wide doors

the cap of a child.

Exit doors,

doors to enter.

Smaller doors

the chin of a child.

- Give me my clothes!

/-Author of the confession ...

or suck my cock.

What do you prefer, precious?

Find your way.

We saw last time.

Our friend,

the neighborhood voyeur ...

told us

last time you ...

was trying to type

two years ago.

Enough, enough!

Even the bubbles are

are more alive than your heart.

But you're worse than a fossil.

You are frigid. We know,

I've seen in action.

You can not, right?

You're not normal.

You are empty.

You're sick.

You're bad.

You've always been bad.

From the beginning.

So your mother did not notice.

Why men do not love you.

Who wants to f***

cold and unfeeling?

They just want

slam the door and leave.

They just want

slam the door and leave.

Stand in front of the image

please.

Stand in front of the image

please.

He is accused of conspiracy

against his country ...

and against peace,

order and stability.

His story,''''Land of cabinets,

is subliminal advertising ...

to provoke dissent

in the hearts of children.

All official roads

have been sealed.

Your Rights

have been suspended.

Our short term goal

is to sign the confession.

Ynuestro long-term goal

depends ...

the success of our goal

short term.

No name

no identity.

Hereafter be appointed

with the number ...

AB234.

Ol.
