Word List Author Note: The son begs to stay. The concept of "make me" is in a single sign 'FORCE-me,' with a C-hand 'forced' toward the signer's body. If the C-hand faces outward and moves forward, it means "to force (as a verb)" [not 'force' as a strength (noun)]. So the gloss is: PLEASE DON'T FORCE-me DEPART. He signs "NOT" instead of DON'T (but really, it's a command). And he signs "DEPART" in the way that they use in the movie. He should have signed PLEASE, DON'T FORCE-me ACCOMPANY. The son is actually pleading to not be forced to accompany the dad. If the father were sending him out, "leave" would be appropriate, but they are going together.
COSTELLO's ASL Dictionary: PLEASE DON'T #1 [FORCE is not in the dictionary] LEAVE or GO-WITH (accompany).
