| Broots | I don’t understand Sydney. Why are these guys hitting each other? | |
| Sydney | FES Broots. | |
| Broots | FES? | |
| Sydney | Forced external stimulus. I’m studying the way twins react to identically applied aggression. | |
| Broots | It looks to me like they’re just beating the bejesus out of each other. | |
| Sydney | Did you need something Broots? | |
| Broots | Oh yeah, I ah. This came for you. It looks kind of important. Your immediate attention is needed. | |
| Sydney | In Jarod’s handwriting. You’ve never seen this. | |
| Broots | Seen what? Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, yee! | |
| Foreman | Hey! Barker. You got a visitor. | |
| Jarod | What? | |
| Foreman | You got company. There’s a guy out front who wants to see ya. | |
| Jarod | A guy? | |
| Foreman | Yeah, with the dogs. | |
| Jarod | Dogs? | |
| Jack | That’s it, take it. Come on, come on. Do you like dogs Mr Barker? | |
| Jarod | Not as much as you do. | |
| Jack | Roman fighting Rottweilers. They’re pound for pound the most perfect a killing machine on four legs huh? Give me a dog over a person any day. Oh, Jack Brevins. I’m your PO. Parole officer. | |
| Jarod | We weren’t supposed to meet until next week. | |
| Jack | Yeah I know but I was in the neighbourhood. Big Daddy here needed to be wormed. Big Daddy needed to be wormed didn’t you sweetie? Yeah, so how are you getting on? | |
| Jarod | Fine. | |
| Jack | No problems with the job? | |
| Jarod | It’s a little slice of heaven. | |
| Jack | That’s funny. You’re a funny guy. | |
| Jarod | I gotta get back to work. | |
| Jack | Ah. Let’s take a walk. | |
| Jarod | It’s not my break yet. | |
| Jack | Hey! It’s okay. | |
| Jack | You know, a lot of guys have trouble adjusting to freedom after being locked up. You were up for what? Six and change? | |
| Jarod | Mr Brevins… | |
| Jack | Jack. | |
| Jarod | Look I appreciate all the personal attention, Jack, but I have to get back to work. Can’t afford to lose this job. I don’t want to end back in prison now do I? | |
| Jack | You don’t know how it works do you? You behave yourself, do as exactly what you’re told and everything is gravy. You get an attitude you disrupt the program, I pick up the phone and you got a number on your back before breakfast. We’ll continue this later. Oh hey! I read your file. Consider that an advance. That’s good stuff, none of that jailhouse crap you used to shoot. I’ll be in touch. Come on baby, let’s go, let’s go for a ride. Come on. Yes. Yes. We’re going for a ride in the car. We love the car, yeah. | |
| Jarod | I hope you came alone. | |
| Sydney | I believe you’re safe, for the moment. | |
| Jarod | You look good Sydney. | |
| Sydney | You too. And I like the art work. | |
| Jarod | Just trying to blend in. | |
| Sydney | Are you going to tell me why I’m here or is this some kind of game we’re playing? | |
| Jarod | Oh it’s no game, especially to them. | |
| Sydney | Michelle. Am I his father? | |
| Michelle | Sydney. Nicholas doesn’t know he’s your son. | |
| Sydney | I don’t understand. Why did you…. | |
| Jarod | What the… ? Who are…. ? You’re . . . | |
| Sandi | The word is…. naked. I bought groceries. I hope you like sugar. | |
| Jarod | Who are you? | |
| Sandi | Sandi, with an I. | |
| Jarod | How did you get in here? | |
| Sandi | Desk clerk. He’s a friend of Jack’s. | |
| Jarod | Jack Brevins? | |
| Sandi | Is there another? Do you want something to drink? I’ve got kiwi papaya juice. A friend turned me on to it. It’s fantastic. In fact, it’s fantastically fantastic. So, you got an awesome view. | |
| Jarod | It’s a lumber yard. | |
| Sandi | Well they used to be trees so that almost makes it a forest. | |
| Jarod | You said that Jack sent you? | |
| Sandi | Hmm. Like a house warming gift. He said to think of me as a living, breathing welcome mat. | |
| Jarod | There is no way this is going to happen. | |
| Sandi | What are you doing? | |
| Jarod | Look I’m really exhausted. I’ve had a really long day. | |
| Sandi | I can’t go. See if you send me away Jack’ll think I pissed you off and Jack can get really nasty when he doesn’t get what he wants. Hey, pretty lady. Who is she? | |
| Jarod | She’s my mother. | |
| Sandi | No really? Oh, that’s so sweet. God I’ve haven’t seen my mom in nearly, uh, two years. So what were you in prison for? | |
| Jarod | Does it matter? | |
| Sandi | Well a girl likes to know who she’s drinking with. I mean, you didn’t kill somebody did you? | |
| Jarod | Okay I can drop you off on my way downtown or I can call you a cab. Those are your choices. | |
| Sandi | Or I could go with you? | |
| Jarod | Are you in some kind of trouble? | |
| Sandi | Well that depends. | |
| Jarod | That depends on what? | |
| Sandi | On you. We should get more of this kiwi juice. It’s a passion fruit. | |
| Nurse | Can I help you? | |
| Sydney | Oh, I’m Doctor Sydney. I was called in to consult on the Stamatis case. | |
| Nurse | I wasn’t told about any consultation. | |
| Sydney | Well there must have been some kind of clerical error, Nurse Roberts. I’ve travelled a long way and I’m tired. Now we can get on with this or we can take it up with your supervisor. It’s up to you. | |
| Nurse | That’s Mr Stamatis’ room. | |
| Sydney | Oh nurse, how’s he doing? | |
| Nurse | Considering he may only have hours to live, he and Mrs Stamatis are doing fine. | |
| Sydney | Thank you. | |
| Sandi | I think it’s sad when things change. I used to come here when I was a kid. There was this gigantic slide. It must have been fifty, sixty feet high. | |
| Jarod | Kind of like this monster? | |
| Sandi | But… It was so much bigger. | |
| Jarod | Maybe because you were a little peanut back then. Uh, excuse me. I’ll be right back. | |
| Lupe | Don’t eat the sand, baby. | |
| Jarod | It’s almost like looking into a mirror. | |
| Lupe | Yes it is. | |
| Jarod | Do you mind if I sit down? | |
| Lupe | It’s a public park. | |
| Jarod | I used to wonder what it would be like to grow up so close to somebody to have a bond like that that could never be broken. | |
| Lupe | You sound like a man who misses his family. | |
| Jarod | Is it that obvious? | |
| Lupe | Some people wear their lives in their eyes, and some on their skin. How long you been out of prison? | |
| Jarod | Almost a week. | |
| Lupe | I wish you luck. Come on boys. Mama’s got to get home and get supper started. | |
| Jarod | They look just like their father. | |
| Lupe | What did you say? Who are you? | |
| Jarod | My name is Jarod. Bobby, your husband, and I, we were in the same cell block at Mayfield Pen. This picture it was taken three days before he was released. Lupe I don’t mean to upset you. I know it’s only been a few weeks since Bobby was … was killed. | |
| Lupe | Bobby had so much going for him when he got out of prison. The boys, a good job, me. It doesn’t make any sense. He wasn’t a violent man. It doesn’t make any sense. | |
| Jarod | I know. That’s why I’m here. | |
| Jack | No you listen to me. You miss one more appointment at this office I’m going to slap a warrant on your ass so fast that you won’t know what hit you. Yeah right, right. You’re a not as stupid as you look. Eight tonight. So, how’s freedom treating you on this fine morning Jarod? | |
| Jarod | It takes a little gettin’ used to. | |
| Jack | It’s a big world it’s full of surprises. | |
| Jarod | Kind of like the surprise I found in my shower yesterday? | |
| Jack | She didn’t give you any lip did she? | |
| Jarod | No. Just wasn’t expecting guests that’s all. | |
| Jack | It’s like riding a bicycle. You know how to ride a bicycle, don’t you? You get on, and just… | |
| Jarod | Now that’s funny. You know what else is funny? Here I am fresh out of prison and already my parole officer he’s supplied me with enough smack to kill a horse, and a female who may or may not be underage. Now if the intention is to ease the inmate back into society this seems a little bit rushed. | |
| Jack | Well I didn’t expect you to shoot the entire bag in one sitting. As for the bimbo, she’s twenty-two going on fifty. Come on. Sit down. I just like my people to be relaxed when they work. | |
| Jarod | And by work you don’t mean the metal shop, I assume. | |
| Jack | Jarod Barker. Arrested at age fourteen for petty larceny. Spent six months in the Greenly youth camp. Three convictions for narcotics and weapons charges, two aggravated assault convictions and a handful of parole violations. | |
| Jarod | I won a spelling bee once when I was seven. | |
| Jack | You know how many opportunities are out there for an ex-con with a history of violence? Zero. Nada. Life as you know it, is over. Be at this address tonight at 10pm. Oh, and Jarod, one more thing. Stay away from Lupe Harmon. | |
| Jarod | How did you know that I talked to Lupe? | |
| Jack | It’s my job to know what you do. You did time with her husband up at Mayfield. What’s his name? What was his name? | |
| Jarod | Bobby. | |
| Jack | Right. Bobby. Terrible situation. | |
| Jarod | He was one of your guys wasn’t he? | |
| Jack | You just stay away from the widow. She can only cause you trouble. | |
| Jarod | You’re the boss, right? | |
| Sydney | May I join you? | |
| Michelle | Sydney. What are you doing here? | |
| Sydney | I thought you might need a friend. | |
| Michelle | I like it here, especially in the morning when everything still seems possible. Sorry. | |
| Sydney | It’s all right. | |
| Michelle | Thankyou. He’s only fifty-four years old, Sydney. It’s not fair. | |
| Sydney | No it’s not. | |
| Michelle | How did you know that George was here? | |
| Sydney | An old friend sent me a message. Michelle if you want someone to talk to, someone to hold on to, I’m here. What is it? | |
| Michelle | It’s Nicholas. He’s not handling this very well. He’s so, so angry. | |
| Sydney | It’s painful to lose someone you love. | |
| Michelle | He still doesn’t know that you’re his real father. | |
| Sydney | It’s not important now. | |
| Michelle | My husband is dying Sydney. Would you pray with me? | |
| Sydney | Of course I will. | |
| Sandi | I started dancing when I was 17. | |
| Jarod | Were you with the ballet? | |
| Sandi | Yeah right. Cleared 400 a week and that was just working topless. | |
| Jarod | Topless? | |
| Sandi | What? You’ve never been in a strip joint before? Naked women flinging around metal poles, strange men cramming sweaty wads of money into strange women’s panties. | |
| Jarod | I would remember something like that. Did you tell Jack that we took a walk in the park? | |
| Sandi | I might have mentioned it. What you working on? | |
| Jarod | I’m trying to figure out why a man with a wife, two kids and a future would throw it all away for two hundred and fifty six bucks. Did you know Bobby Harmon? | |
| Sandi | No. That’s terrible. You know I read that he had small children. | |
| Jarod | Twin boys, five years old. | |
| Sandi | I gotta go. Hey Jarod. I only danced for a couple of months and I never, you know, for money. I just don’t want you to think that I was that kinda girl. | |
| Jarod | What kind of girl is that? | |
| Sydney | Dr Stamatis, my name is Sydney. | |
| George | I know who you are. | |
| Sydney | I have had this conversation in my mind a hundred times. I want you to know that I have the highest regard for you and your relationship with Michelle and Nicholas. | |
| George | Do you still love her? You don’t need to answer. I see it in your eyes. Oh, thank you. Nicholas doesn’t know that you are his real father. | |
| Sydney | No. | |
| George | I want you to tell him after… I want you to take care of my son Sydney…. | |
| Sydney | We don’t have to…. | |
| George | Promise. Promise. | |
| Sydney | I promise. | |
| George | Nicholas. Oh! | |
| Sydney | Nicholas. Nicholas. | |
| Jack | Hey Jarod. Right on time. You didn’t have any trouble findin’ the place, did you? | |
| Jarod | It’s amazing you tell the cab driver where to go and he gets you there. | |
| Jack | Ain’t it though. I’d like to introduce you to your new partner. Pat Rush. Jarod Barker. | |
| Pat | Jack said you did time at Mayfield. | |
| Jarod | Six years, eight months, and three days. |
|
| Pat | I did a two spot there. I don’t remember your face. | |
| Jarod | That’s because I like to hang by myself. | |
| Pat | That’s cool. | |
| Jack | If you dogs are through sniffing each other I’d like to get down to business. My source informs that there is a very accessible situation out in Meadow Hills. | |
| Pat | That’s a new development out near the lake. | |
| Jack | Houses start at half a million. Gentlemen it’s rotting on the vine. All we have to do is go out there and pick it. | |
| Pat | I don’t know. | |
| Jack | What did you say? | |
| Pat | I gotta bad feeling that’s all. | |
| Jack | Son, you don’t know what feeling bad is really all about. | |
| Bartender | Yo, Jack. Phone call. | |
| Jack | Take a message. | |
| Bartender | It’s the Mexican. | |
| Jack | You boys have a beer and when I get back I’ll tell you all about Myra and Stanley Bellows. | |
| Pat | Guy’s is certifiable. Word is he’s been running this home invasion scam for almost five years. | |
| Jarod | Word is? | |
| Pat | A guy who knows a guy. | |
| Jarod | Well someone should stop him. | |
| Pat | One phone call from Brevins and we’re both back inside. Don’t even think about running to the cops unless you want to end up like that Harmon dude. | |
| Jarod | Bobby Harmon? | |
| Pat | He wasn’t blown away by accident. My guy says that Harmon was about to go to the DA, drop Brevin’s whole operation on the table when he got it. | |
| Jarod | That’s quite a little scam he’s got going. Career criminals do his dirty work and if we refuse, well, he violates our parole and doubles our time. | |
| Pat | Not to mention his frickin’ dogs. Man loves those frickin’ dogs. | |
| Jarod | How did he know that Bobby Harmon was going to turn him in? | |
| Pat | Have you made one move since you’ve been out that he didn’t know about? | |
| Nicholas | How’d you find me? | |
| Sydney | Your father said you might come here. | |
| Nicholas | Hah. My father, that’s a laugh. | |
| Sydney | This will be hard for you to understand and you have every right to be angry. But there were reasons. | |
| Nicholas | Reasons? What reasons could there be for hiding the truth from someone, about who they are and where they came from? | |
| Sydney | Just before you were born I was involved with some people, very dangerous people, who made threats against my life. To protect me, your mother left me without telling me about you. | |
| Nicholas | Did you look for me? | |
| Sydney | I told you. I didn’t know you’d been born. | |
| Nicholas | And now I don’t have a father, or a family or a life. | |
| Sydney | Nicholas. It isn’t true. You have a wonderful mother and a father who loves you. | |
| Nicholas | He’s not my father. | |
| Sydney | You’re wrong Nicholas. Being a father is more than giving life. It’s being there in the middle of the night when you’re sick, or afraid or alone. And it’s teaching you how to ride a bike, how to catch a fish, how to tie a tie. Being a parent isn’t about the big moments. It’s about the little ones. | |
| Nicholas | Have you ever felt those things for anyone? | |
| Sydney | There was someone. A child. Your father loves you very much. As much as if he had given you life. Don’t throw that away. | |
| Nicholas | Why are you here? | |
| Sydney | After everything is said and done, maybe, you and I can be friends. Hello? Is someone there? | |
| Jack | The key is to convince these people that you are serious. That you will kill them, if they do not do exactly what you want them to do. | |
| Jarod | What about Bobby Harmon? | |
| Jack | What about it? | |
| Jarod | Look I don’t want to end up dead on someone’s living room floor because you forgot something. | |
| Jack | Harmon was a mistake. End of story. | |
| Pat | How much money did you say these people keep in the house? | |
| Jack | Could be north of a hundred thousand dollars. Apparently the old gentleman does not trust banks. Just make sure you kill this power box before you enter the house. That disables the flood lights, the security system. It will keep the rent-a-cops off your tail. | |
| Jarod | And what do we do when we are finished? | |
| Jack | You stop by my place and we split up the money. We go in twelve hours. Everybody ready? | |
| Jarod | Ready. | |
| Jarod | They say that it takes the patience of a saint to tend to a prosperous garden. | |
| Lupe | You know about flowers? | |
| Jarod | I know about patience. | |
| Lupe | I used to send Bobby a single red rose every Friday. | |
| Jarod | He used to put them in the window of his cell. He said they made him feel like there was something worth living for. | |
| Lupe | You know, Bobby wrote me twice a week. He never mentioned anyone named Jarod. | |
| Jarod | Oh yeah, he probably wouldn’t. I was transferred to Bobby’s cell block three weeks before he was released. So, you know, he probably had other things on his mind. | |
| Lupe | Come here baby. | |
| Jarod | You have great kids. | |
| Lupe | In the park, you said you come here for a reason? | |
| Jarod | I think Bobby was set up. | |
| Lupe | Set up? Why would anyone want to hurt my husband? | |
| Jarod | That’s what I m trying to find out. | |
| Lupe | Oh, where are my manners? Ah. Please can I get you something to drink? | |
| Jarod | That would be very nice. | |
| Lupe | It would have to be water or Kiwi juice. | |
| Jarod | Kiwi juice? | |
| Lupe | Yeah, kiwi papaya. It was Bobby’s favourite. There must be a dozen bottles left in the refrigerator. | |
| Jarod | Busy day? | |
| Sandi | Oh God, Jarod. I didn’t see you standing there. | |
| Jarod | That’s surprising. I thought you were keeping a close eye on me. | |
| Sandi | I bought some steaks and a bottle of wine. I thought maybe we could go up on the roof and have ourselves a cook out. | |
| Jarod | You knew Bobby Harmon. | |
| Sandi | Jarod I… | |
| Jarod | Please don’t lie to me. | |
| Sandi | I knew Bobby. | |
| Jarod | Why didn’t you tell me? | |
| Sandi | I was scared. I mean, Bobby and me were friends. No it wasn’t like that. He loved his wife and his kids. | |
| Jarod | You told Brevins that Bobby was going to turn him into the police. | |
| Sandi | No. No, I never mentioned that to anybody, except for…. | |
| Jarod | Except for who? | |
| Sandi | Pat Rush. | |
| Jarod | And what about me? What’s the deal with me? | |
| Sandi | Jack wanted me to get close. Jarod I had no choice. | |
| Jarod | This has something to do with that guy that I saw you talking to at the convalescent home. | |
| Sandi | You followed me? | |
| Jarod | Who was he? Just another sucker or maybe a former client that you took pity on? | |
| Sandi | He’s my little brother. | |
| Sandi | His name is Michael. The doctors say that he will never be any better than he is now. It was raining and Michael had invited me to dinner and the movies. He loves the movies. I ah, never saw the other car run the light. | |
| Jarod | Is that why your mother won’t speak to you? | |
| Sandi | I was his big sister, you know. I’m supposed to be looking out for him. I thought that paying for Michael’s medical care might turn things around and make her understand that it was an accident. | |
| Jarod | Private hospitals are expensive. | |
| Sandi | Three thousand dollars a month. | |
| Jarod | That’s how you got involved with Brevins? You needed the money to take care of your little brother. | |
| Sandi | He had nothing to do with what happened to Bobby. I swear. After Bobby was killed I got scared and I was going to go to the police. But Jack threatened to hurt Michael. I didn’t know what else to do. | |
| Jarod | Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. I promise. | |
| Jarod | You down for this? | |
| Pat | Cut the power, bust open the side door, wait for you to come through the front. | |
| Jarod | Everything by the numbers. | |
| Pat | By the numbers. | |
| Jarod | You don’t seem convinced. | |
| Pat | If we screw this up we’re both dead men. | |
| Jarod | Well we’d better not screw it up then. | |
| TV | Notify all cars in the area of Fourth and Grove. Bank robbery, First National. | |
| Jack | Ahhhh, grrr. | |
| Jarod | Oh Jack. Wake up! | |
| Jack | What? | |
| Jarod | It is okay if I still call you Jack, right? | |
| Jack | Barker? Is that you Barker? You stinking punk. I’m going to burn you for this. | |
| Pat | I told you this was going to blow up in our faces. | |
| Jack | Rush? Is that you kid? Hey kid listen to me. You’re making a life decision here. Make a right one. | |
| Pat | Look let’s split, right now. | |
| Jarod | Will you chill out. Like you said he’s been doing this home invasion thing for the last five years, right. | |
| Pat | So what? | |
| Jarod | So what? Open your eyes dumb ass. Look around. There’s more loot here than when we are ever going to find in some cul-de-sac in the suburbs? Ain’t that right Jack? | |
| Jack | You clowns are robbing me? That’s what this is all about? You’re robbing me? | |
| Jarod | It stings don’t it Jack. Just like it must have stung… Bobby Harmon. When you killed him. | |
| Pat | Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you talking about Harmon? Let’s just do this and get out of here. | |
| Jarod | A little change of plans Pat. | |
| Pat | What are you talking about? | |
| Jarod | You see I’m not exactly who I pretend to be. The truth is I’ve never been arrested before, but you will be. I’ll make sure that they put you away for aiding and abetting in the murder of Bobby Harmon. | |
| Jack | Kill him Pat. | |
| Pat | Who are you? | |
| Jarod | I’m still trying to figure that one out. But as for you it’s over. | |
| Pat | I don’t think so. | |
| Jarod | Are you going to shoot me? | |
| Pat | I’ll do it, I swear. | |
| Jarod | Go ahead. | |
| Jack | Do it! | |
| Pat | Back off Barker! | |
| Jarod | It was a pleasure doing business with you. Well it looks like it’s just you and me Jack. | |
| Jack | What do want from me? | |
| Jarod | Did you kill Bobby Harmon? | |
| Jack | You’re going to rot in prison Barker. | |
| Jarod | Answer my question. | |
| Jack | Go to hell! | |
| Jarod | Okay fine. I’m just going to have to take it up with your four-legged friends in the next room. | |
| Jack | Hey what are you doing? | |
| Jarod | Let’s just see how much you really love those little guys. Actually I’ll start with the little one. | |
| Jack | Junior? Hey Barker what the hell are you doing? Barker don’t hurt that dog. | |
| Jarod | Junior. Junior! | |
| Jack | You son of a bitch. You killed my dog? | |
| Jarod | Well are you ready to answer my question now Jack? | |
| Jack | Look, you leave Big Daddy alone, huh? | |
| Jarod | Well, Big Daddy’s going to fry unless you answer my question. | |
| Jack | You hurt that dog man, I will cut your heart out. | |
| Jarod | Oh alright Jack. Have it your way. | |
| Jack | No. Barker. Barker. | |
| Jarod | Alright Big Daddy, you’re up. | |
| Jack | No. Wait Barker. Alright. I did it. I did it! | |
| Jarod | You did what? You did what!? | |
| Jack | You son of a bitch. You killed my dog? | |
| Jarod | Well are you ready to answer my question now Jack? | |
| Jack | Look, you leave Big Daddy alone, huh? | |
| Jarod | Well, Big Daddy’s going to fry unless you answer my question. | |
| Jack | You hurt that dog man, I will cut your heart out. | |
| Jarod | Oh alright Jack. Have it your way. | |
| Jack | No. Barker. Barker. | |
| Jarod | Alright Big Daddy, you’re up. | |
| Jack | No. Wait Barker. Alright. I did it. I did it! | |
| Jarod | You did what? You did what!? | |
| Jack | I killed Bobby Harmon. I made it look like it was a robbery. | |
| Jarod | And how many home invasion robberies using parolees were you involved with? How many? | |
| Jack | Uh, ten, twelve. Come on take this blindfold off me, will you man? | |
| Jarod | Sure thing Jack. | |
| Jack | What the hell? Hey? I heard my dogs. I heard you shoot? | |
| Jarod | What this? Neat trick huh? Oh, one other thing. Look at this. Merry Christmas, Jack. | |
| Jack | Oh. Oh. I’ll get you! Barker! Damn you! Barker! | |
| Nurse | Pardon me, Mrs Stamatis but the Doctor thinks you should say goodbye now. | |
| Michelle | I don’t think I can do this. | |
| Sydney | I can go in with you. | |
| Michelle | No. No, I… I need to be alone with him. But Nicholas should be here. He needs to say goodbye to him. Hi! | |
| George | Hey! | |
| Michelle | Hey! | |
| George | It’s alright. Don’t be afraid. I’m not. | |
| Michelle | I love you, so much. | |
| George | Always. | |
| Michelle | It just doesn’t seem fair. We have so much to do. We have so much more to share. | |
| George | Shh. We will be together again, I know it. Come here. Come here. Oh my baby. Where’s Nick huh? | |
| Nicholas | Sorry I’m late. I’m here Dad. I’m here. | |
| George | Hey buddy. Hey. | |
| Michelle | Thank you will just never be enough. | |
| Sydney | I’m glad that I was of some comfort to you. What now? | |
| Michelle | Well I go home and try to get on with the rest of my life. | |
| Sydney | A good life. | |
| Michelle | Goodbye Sydney. | |
| Sydney | Until we meet again. | |
| Nicholas | I never thought that I could feel more alone than I did when I heard that my father was dying. I was wrong. | |
| Sydney | Time’s a great healer. | |
| Nicholas | Time. Is that how you got over losing your family? | |
| Sydney | I will never get over that, not as long as I live. | |
| Nicholas | My office number at the university if you ever, ever want to talk. | |
| Sydney | Who shall I say I am if your assistant asks? | |
| Nicholas | You could say that you are my friend. | |
| Jarod | That’s a pretty good start. | |
| Sydney | Well, a man can’t ask for more than an opportunity. And I owe any chance that I have of knowing my son to you Jarod. | |
| Jarod | Well everyone deserves to have a family. | |
| Sydney | Jarod? Didn’t I teach you how to tie a tie? | |
| Jarod | Yes. Yes you did. | |
