(video is in complete silence)
-
- Dinner's ready!
-
- Just a sec.
-
- Dinner's ready!
-
- Ugh.
-
- Dinner's ready.
-
- I'm not hungry.
-
- Shut that off.
-
[So now we're going
to discuss your points of view,
-
how you've been discriminated
against and challenged.]
-
- Let's start with you, Charlie.
-
- You said a ski lift. Why?
-
- While I was skiing
there was an announcement,
-
an emergency warning--
that an avalanche coming down.
-
I'd had no idea because
I couldn't hear the warning.
-
1:34 [It's important ___
because you have to evacuate immediately
-
when you hear that kind of warning.]
-
[It's discrimination _______].
-
- Good point.
-
- Wesley...
-
You mentioned airplane tickets. Why?
-
- Why? I couldn't hear
the announcements over the intercom,
-
and had no idea the plane
was about to depart
-
and I missed my flight.
-
[I was so frustrated.
Nobody teaches the staff to ____].
-
- Good point.
-
- Vanessa, the bus?
-
- First off, it's not
Vanessa on the shoulder.
-
It's Vanessa on the chin.
-
Anyways, I was riding on the bus
-
and an announcement
came on and I missed it
-
and had to hike a mile
back in the sweaty heat.
-
- Okay, got it.
-
- And Janet, you said amusement park?
-
Why did you feel discriminated there?
-
- Well, every time I asked
for an interpreter,
-
they'd brush me off.
-
I insisted I needed an interpreter
to enjoy the music,
-
I want to see the music.
-
And then the animal shows--
I can see what's happening,
-
but I want to know the details.
-
They refused to give me an interpreter.
-
- That's enough.
-
The point is you
all shouldn't get put down.
-
We're all Deaf and should
be treated equally to hearing people..
-
[Put us down... take advantage...
I'm deaf... acting dumb?]
-
- Hey!
-
- What?
-
- 3:46 Wake up! [?]
-
- Right now? What for?
-
- I want a morning kiss would be nice.
-
- 3:53 [?].
-
Ugh, morning breath. It stinks!
-
- Janet!
- Whoa!
-
Hi! It's been so long!
-
How've you been?
-
- I'm good. I miss you.
-
How are you?
-
- I'm fine.
-
Been busy with the kids,
cleaning the house.
-
Where's your implant?
-
- Well, it's awkward...
-
- [You can come by any time
You don't need an appointment].
-
[Back _______________].
-
- Bye!
- Goodbye!
-
(screaming along to music)
-
- Where's your dad?
-
(mouthing along to music)
-
(mouthing along to music)
-
[____________hearing sister.]
-
- Where's your dad?
- I dunno.
-
- I'm thirsty.
-
- Hey, what's wrong?
-
- Nothing, just thirsty.
-
[- I'm so happy _________________.]
-
- I'm so nervous.
-
- I understand.
-
It's a big step for us both.
-
- Please sit down.
-
- Why--
- Wait.
-
Go on.
-
- Why aren't you using your implant?
-
It's too hard.
-
I have a Deaf family.
-
Using my implant is frowned on.
-
I've kept it out of sight.
-
[But you can't just
keep taking it on and off.]
-
[You need to keep believing].
-
You need to open your heart.
-
- You're right.
-
I have to open my mind.
-
Looking back, the first time
I turned on my implant
-
it was a wonderful experience.
-
- Your friends, your family,
they're pressuring you
-
to take off your implant,
but you've gotta be strong
-
and follow your heart.
-
- Oh, I've missed you!
-
- I've missed you too.
-
Where's your implant?
