Johnny: Your dad is cool!
Philip: People like to say it
Johnny: Come on! I wish my dad were like yours!
Philip: No, you don’t
Johnny: ???
Philip: He’s a two-faced monster
Philip: He’s mastered the art of making good impressions but at home he’s different from what he shows to strangers…
Philip: I feel sorry for my mum
Philip: And I don’t get it why she didn’t call the cops yet
Johnny: Are you serious? Is he beating her?
Philip: Pretty badly. He thinks that I don’t know.
Philip: He always does it when I’m “asleep” or not at home
Philip: But I know
Philip: My mum must be scared to death
Johnny: I’m sorry, I had no idea
Johnny: Is there something you could do?
Johnny: We have a school councillor. Maybe he could help. 
Philip: I know I thought about it
Philip: But I’m scared if my dad finds out I talked to someone he will kill my mum
Johnny: We need to do something about it. He’s dangerous.
Philip's father seems cool to strangers, but at home beats his wife badly. Philip needs to seek help, he's thinking of talking to a school councillor.
