Chapter 11 second tv show

One of the reasons for Murray's follow-up report on "Nightline" is that the first interview aroused a great response from the audience.This time when the camera crew and production staff walked into Murray's house, they felt like they were part of it, and Capel's attitude was obviously more relaxed than last time.The two don't have to find out about each other, and they don't have to talk before the visit.Capel and Murray gossip first about their backgrounds: Capel grew up in England, Murray about his upbringing in the Bronx, New York City.Murray was wearing a long-sleeved blue-collar shirt, and he was quite shy of the cold, even though it was a hot day in the 30s outside: but Capel took off his suit jacket and visited with only his shirt tie, as if being layered by Murray. Let go of his defenses.

As the cameras rolled, Capel said: You look good. Murray said: That's what everyone says. Your voice sounds good too. That's what everyone says. So how do you know when your body is going downhill? Murray sighed.Ted, only I know, but I do. As he talked more, the deterioration of his health became apparent.He no longer can wave his hands to emphasize his meaning like he did on the previous visit.It became difficult for him to speak, and some sounds seemed to be stuck in his throat.In a few months, he might not even be able to speak. My mood is like this, Murray said to Capel: When I have friends and people who care about me, I am very happy, and their love and condolences support me.

Yet some days I feel down.I don't want to lie to you.I saw something unfold and it made me feel scared.What if I lost my hands?What if I can't speak?Eating, I don't care so much, they use a pipe to pick me up, so what?But lose my voice?my hand?These are a big part of who I am.I will use my voice to speak, I will use my hands to gesture, this is my way of giving back to others. Capel asks: How do you give back when you can no longer speak? Murray shrugged.Maybe I'll just let someone ask me true and false questions. He answered so bluntly that Capel couldn't help smiling.He asks Capel about the silence.He mentioned a friend of Murray's, Murray.Stan was the man who first sent Murray's succinct quote to the Boston Globe.They had worked together at Brandeis University since the early 1960s, and Stan was hard of hearing by now.Capel imagined that the two would meet one day, one could no longer speak, the other was deaf, what would happen?

We'd hold hands, Murray said: We'd have a heart for each other.Ted, we have a friendship of thirty-five years, and it doesn't take words to feel it. Before the show ended, Murray read a letter he had received to Capel.Since the last "Nightline" interview aired, Murray has received quite a few letters, including one from a teacher in Pennsylvania who taught a class of nine students whose parents had already passed away. That's what I wrote back, said Murray, putting his glasses on his nose carefully.Dear Barbara, I am very touched by your letter.Your devotion to these bereaved children means so much to me.I myself lost my mother as a child

At this moment, the camera was still on, and Murray adjusted his glasses suddenly with his hands, but did not speak, bit his lip, began to sob, and tears rolled down the bridge of his nose.My mother died when I was a child. It was a big blow to me. I wish I had a class like yours, so that I could talk about my sadness.I will be your student because He was sobbing.because i feel so alone Murray, Capel said: Your mother passed away seventy years ago, is the pain still in your heart? Murray said weakly: That goes without saying.
