doing harakiri
the act of committing suicide (but not as the name suggests, harakiri, the actual Japanese ritual of suicide by disembowelment. often used historically by the samurai).
son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?
father: Adrian, G-d only knows why people commit such an irrational act. It's probably because they've reached a point in their existence where they can't find life's meaning even in a religious setting. There's always hope even in the secular setting, by getting a social worker or psychotherapist. You can always pull the roasted chestnuts out of the fire no matter how dire the situation seems to be.
son: so, what do we tell a person about to commit suicide? "don't burn your bridges"? and that they should stop rejecting the help that they deserve?
father: yup.

father: to the people who are passionately obsessed with animal rights, yes; to most of the civilian population and to the Unforgivables no. If you want to know more, go take a medical ethics course at McGill University in Montreal.

how the devil's name
father: son go do your homework and improve your grades.
son (scowling): how the devil's name did you know my grades were so poor?
father: I had the common sense to clean out the ashes from the fireplace. And guess what I found ? Bits and pieces of your report card. Put two and two together and the result is, that you tried burning your report card; didn't want your mom and myself to see it, I'd imagine?
