“Shortly After We Were Married...”
[HELEN]
You know shortly after we were married, we took a drive from Germany, where we were living, to Paris. He wanted me to meet an army buddy of his. We had a beautiful drive.
And then, just outside of Paris, he just went crazy—just started screaming at me. "Why couldn't I read a simple fucking map?" I was "a stupid worthless bitch."
I was dumbfounded. I was terrified. It came out of nowhere, as far as I knew... Of course, I learned later that this man had been your father's lover.
[MEDIUM ALISON]
I don't know how you've done it.
