HARRY GULKIN: Hello again, Sarah. I confess our encounter has stayed uppermost in my consciousness too. The emotions are conflicting-- joy, discovery, sweet memory obscured by sadness, and some concern as to how this reasonable, but unproven assumption might affect you, as well as your family. We really need to take some time out to discuss this. Meanwhile, I suspect it would be prudent not to broadcast this putative discovery. In that respect, you would not be following in Diane's footsteps. She was apparently very pleased with the idea, and didn't hesitate to share it with some others. What is beyond dispute, is that we have become close and loving friends.

SARAH POLLEY: Hi there. I would love to discuss this some. More it's been interesting talking to my brother Johnny about it. We're both tremendously afraid of my dad finding out. It would destroy him, I think. So I'm quite resolved to not let him know about our conversation. However, I have been thinking that I'd really love to know for myself. I'm not sure why, but it feels like an odd question to not have answered once it's been raised.

MICHAEL POLLEY: Now is the moment when Sarah suggested that a DNA test would settle the matter once and for all. Harry resisted and said he'd like to think it over. He was worried what effect it would have on Michael and his family if it turned out that Harry was the father. And he wasn't too sure how we would feel if Michael turned to be the sperm donor. To save all hurt, why not leave things as they are?

SARAH POLLEY: Dad, can you take that line back again?

MICHAEL POLLEY: Yeah. To save all hurt, why not leave things as they are?
