We aren't going to have any children.

We can't.

What are you talking about?

All my tests came off fine.

It's not you, Scotty.

It's me.

I can't have any children.

I'm a Special Olympics coach.

We'd sure like to have you come out

and find out some of the other things you're good at.

I'm not good at nothing.

I'm dumb.

I don't think it dumb.

Then you're dumb.

I don't want to do nothing.

I can't do nothing and you can't make me.

Hey, I think you're getting faster than your old man.

Oh, he already is, I guarantee it.

Kid's doing great, isn't he?

Yeah, he sure is.

He's staying in his lane, he's getting faster all the time.

He's really proud of himself.

We're proud of him, too.

All right, get your stuff.

That's all for today.

What a sweet kid.

Yeah, I know.

Has he, has he been able to say anything?

I mean, have you heard him say anything at all?

Well, no, not yet, but he's trying real hard.

That's the main thing.

He'll talk one of these days.

One of these days, the light will go on and he'll say Mama.

I want you to take that cap and I

want you to go down to Special Olympics

and put that cap on and run just as fast as you can.

So fast you'll feel the wind whip past your ears,

so fast those mean kids who made fun of you

and me won't even be able to see you.

They'll just see a blur go whizzing by,

but I'll be able to see you.

I'll be up in those stands, and I'll see you with that cap on,

and it'll be almost like seeing me run down there.

Can you do that, Todd?

I could do that.

Well, you know, he's such a sweet kid,

and, well, I've been thinking.

There are so many different kinds of parents

waiting to adopt a healthy newborn, and a boy like Todd

really needs someone.

Yeah, but we don't need him.

Maybe you do.

OK, get serious, Jonathan, and you too, Diane.

His own family gave him up.

The child is retarded.

How would we take care of him?

I wouldn't be any trouble.

I promise.

I can make my bed.

I wouldn't leave my toys out.

He could even ask Mrs. Burke at the room.

I can make my bed.

Todd, it isn't that simple.

Yes, it is.

It is simple.

If I win the race, he'll know.

He'll see me with this hat, and then you'll know.

[music playing]

All right, you guys, your race starts any minute now.

I can't see Scotty, Jonathan.

Don't worry, he's up there.

But I can't see him.

Hey, come on, you got his hat.

He can see you.

But I need to know he's there.

I got to see him.

Oh, he'll be there.

He'll be right down there at the finish line.

He will?

He will.

He will.

Scotty, the boy needs to see you.

I'm not going down there, Jonathan.

I don't know what you two have picked up,

but I'm not going down there.

Come on, we haven't cooked up anything, Scotty.

You're the one that told that kid he was going to be

running for the both of you.

Scotty, he's worked so hard for this moment.

Don't rob him of it.

All right, I'll go down there, but we are not adopting him.

Fine.

But you tell him that after the race.

All right, runners hit the starting line.

All right.

Take your mark, set.

Come on.

Come on.

Run, run, run.

Here's your hat back.

Hey, it's yours.

No, it isn't.

I didn't win.

I wanted to show you that I could do stuff.

Because I wanted you to be my dad.

Hey, what happened to the oath,

let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt?

Look, this is one race.

There will be lots of others.

But I wanted you to see.

I will see them.

You will?

Yeah, I will.

Will you try?

If you're there, I will.

Todd, I don't know if I'm special enough to be your dad,

but I'm not going to quit either.

I'm going to try, just like you.

Would you come home with Diane and me for a weekend

so we could all try?

Do you mean that?

Yes, I do.

Todd, one of the problems I have is that I can't hug you,

but if I could, I sure would want to right now.

I could do that.

I'm great at hugging.

You sure are, son.

You sure are.

The bronze metal goes to Paul Gardner.

[applause]

The silver metal goes to Larry Dexter.

[applause]

And the gold metal in the 100 yard dash goes to Kyle Davis.

Yeah, Kyle.

Woo.

Mom, I won!

He talked.

Steve, he talked.

He talked.

[doorbell]

Hi, you two. Come on in.

All right, how are you doing?

Great.

Just great.

Can I get you anything?

No, no, he just finished one of his famous two hour

breakfasts.

I didn't have dessert.

Oh, poor boy.

I think there's a piece of cake left from last night.

Oh, Todd and Scotty should be back any minute.

Look at this stuff.

Isn't it great?

They've had Todd, for what, six weekends already?

I mean, they turned this whole place into a school.

And I bet they're loving it, too.

Here we go.

Oh, this is wonderful.

Oh, well, it's not homemade.

I don't have time to bake any more.

No, no, I don't mean the cake.

I'm talking about what you and Scotty have done here,

all these signs and everything.

Well, that's Scotty's project.

He's determined to teach Todd how to read,

and you know how Scotty is once he set his mind to something.

Total immersion.

That's the password around here.

So how you two getting along with Todd?

Oh, great.

Oh, Jonathan, I just love him.

Well, we both do, but he's such a sweet boy.

And he just loves to be cuddled, so starved for it.

And he really tries very hard.

Yeah, well, with you and Scotty teaching him,

I bet he'll be reading in no time at all.

Well, if Scotty has his way, he will.

Me, I'm a softie.

I'm the cuddler.

Where are those two anyway?

They're out on a nature walk.

They go out on these walks and Scotty teaches Todd

the names of the flowers and the birds and the trees.

He's learning all that stuff?

Well, some, but mostly he just likes being with Scotty.

And he loves to look at things, you know,

small things that you or I wouldn't even see,

like a wild flower growing in somebody's

lawn or a caterpillar.

You know, it's nice moving at his pace, very slowly,

seeing all the things that you or I wouldn't even

take time to notice.

Hi, Coach.

Hey, kiddo.

How was the nature walk?

Oh, it was good.

We seen these bugs with these long legs.

What do you call that bug?

What's its name?

I don't know.

Praying--

Yeah, praying bugs.

And we seen these flowers, real fuzzy flowers.

Praying mantis?

Yeah.

And and I blew the fuzzy flower, and all the fuzzy stuff

went in the air.

Wow, what a neat walk.

Do I have to go back tomorrow?

Well, it's Monday.

You've got school.

But I want to stay here another day.

Todd, if Scotty and I could fix

it so you could stay here all the time, would you like that?

Forever and ever?

Forever and ever.

We want you to be our son, Todd.

We love you.

- And you'll be my mom and dad? - Yes.

Yes.

Todd, what are you doing?

Wait.

But I don't understand, Mrs. Gettys.

We filled out all of the forms, we've

met all of the criteria your agency has for adoptive parents

because you said so yourself.

I know that, Mrs. Wilson.

Everything you're saying is true,

but Todd's natural parents never gave him up for adoption.

But they haven't seen him in years.

I know that.

We approached the Bryants and apprised them of the situation

and of your desire to adopt Todd.

I didn't think there would be any problem.

There shouldn't have been.

They don't care what happens to them.

They all but abandoned him.

They didn't abandon him.

They put him in foster care, and they have paid all his expenses

at the group foster care home.

But they don't love him.

They have no moral right.

They have a legal right.

Mr. Wilson, I shouldn't have to tell you that.

You're an attorney, and they are his parents.

And they have made it very clear that they

will not under any circumstances allow you to adopt their son.

Maybe if we could just meet them, talk with them,

make them see that we love the boy, that we'd be good parents.

They saw your file, Mr. Wilson.

It's no reflection on either of you,

but they don't want to meet you.

They were as firm about that as they were about not

giving Todd up for adoption.

I'm so sorry, but there's just nothing to do about it.

They are his parents.

No, they're not.

It takes love to be a parent.

We love the boy.

All they've got on their side is the law.

I'm afraid that's all they need.

But they haven't seen him since he was three years old,

not once.

Well, isn't there anything you can do legally, Scotty?

I mean, isn't there something?

I don't know.

I'm researching it now.

We could petition the court to appoint a conservatorship

for Todd with us as conservators,

but the odds are so much against it.

These people have money.

They can fight us and they'd win.

But they don't want to be his parents.

They're not fit to be his parents.

That's not the way a court would see it.

They didn't abandon him.

They put him in a fine group foster care home.

They paid all his bills.

But they've never been there for him.

They haven't-- they haven't held him or laughed with him.

They haven't comforted him when he's cried.

The law doesn't give too many points for cuddling.

Then the law stinks.

In the eyes of the law, they're not unfit parents.

They did exactly what their doctors advised them to do.

Everything except love him.

You don't know that.

Jonathan, what are you talking about?

They gave up the kid.

Mark, if they gave up the boy because they

thought it was the best thing for him,

then it was an act of love.

Whose side are you on anyway?

Oh, come on, Diane, it's not a matter of sides, is it?

And the fact of the matter is they

won't give the child up for adoption,

then there has to be a reason.

You told Todd yet?

No.

How could we tell him, Mark?

He's so excited about finally having a family.

He's already planning our first Christmas together.

So what have you told him?

We just said these things take time and he has to be patient.

I don't believe this is happening.

What kind of people would prevent

their child from having parents who want him,

and who really love him?

Dr. Bryant?

Yeah.

I'm Jonathan Smith.

We met in your office a few months ago.

I'm with Special Olympics.

Oh, yes, of course.

I wondered if I could talk to you for a few minutes?

Oh, well, we're just finishing up dinner.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I'll wait if it's all right.

It's about your son Todd.

Well, I think we've already had

this conversation, Mr. Smith.

I mean, I think it's great that Todd's in the Special Olympics,

but we really don't think it's right to come back to his life

just to cheer him on.

And frankly--

This is not about Special Olympics.

It's-- it's about the couple that wants to adopt him.

You mean, m brother?

Josh, Jennifer, do me a favor, go to your rooms, please?

But why?

Just do as I say, please?

Look, if you want to use the car, go to your rooms, OK?

Thank you.

What's going on here?

That's what I'd like to know.

I'm a friend of the Wilsons, the couple that wants--

I know who they are, and I know what they want,

and the answer is no.

Dr. Bryant, the Wilsons are both professional people.

They're fine people.

They make a good living, and they love Todd,

and he loves them.

They'd be wonderful parents for him.

And you think there's something wrong with the kind

of parents we are?

We don't have to talk to him, Lauren.

No, no, I want to know what he thinks of us.

It doesn't matter.

It matters to me.

You see, I don't like people judging me.

I didn't come here to judge you, Mrs. Bryant.

Oh?

They love him.

They'd make wonderful parents.

Well, if that isn't judging, I don't know what is.

Do you have a retarded child, Mr. Smith?

No, I don't.

Well, we do.

And we can tell you all about the heartache of watching him

with other children and knowing that there is something

wrong with that beautiful baby.

And not admitting it to yourself,

even though all the other babies are walking and talking.

We can tell you all about the lies that you tell yourself

and the praying to God that it just isn't true.

Do you know what it is like for a mother to give her baby away

to strangers and to turn her back on him

and to hear him screaming and yelling?

Do you know what that feels like?

Calm down, Lauren.

No, I want him to know.

Now, the doctors advised us to do this and our minister

counseled us to do this.

I've already explained that to Mr. Smith.

You don't have to go through this again.

You know, we went to see him once,

and he cried so hysterically that I had to--

I had-- I had to pry his hands off my body.

Do you know what a mother feels like that to do that?

Believe me, I didn't come here to judge you, Mrs. Bryant.

I know you've done what you thought was best for your boy.

He's in a fine home and he's done very well there.

But as fine a place as that is, it isn't the same

as having a mother and father.

The Wilsons are willing to take any kind of a test you want

them to take to prove what kind of people they are

and what kind of home they can give to Todd.

No.

No.

We are Todd's parents, and we'll decide what's best for him.

And to be blunt, Mr. Smith, which is evidently the only way

to be with you, this Mr. Wilson you're talking about

is a quadriplegic.

Now, I want you to tell me what kind of guardian

he's going to be for a boy who is mentally incompetent.

It's completely out of the question.

We've taken everything into consideration,

and we made our decision.

I think there's something you haven't taken

into consideration, and that's how Todd feels

and what he thinks.

It is irrelevant what Todd thinks.

The boy is retarded.

Just stop it, both of you.

Just get out of here.

Just get out of our house and tell

those people to stop bothering us

and just stay away from my son.

I think you better leave now, Mr. Smith.

I'm sorry, I didn't come here to upset you.

I'm sorry.

There you go, Kyle.

Thanks.

Let's see some good jumping, Kyle.

Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr. And Mrs. Scott Wilson.

Oh, yeah, sitting right down there.

Thanks.

Go, go, go.

Stay in your lane.

Mr. Wilson?

Yeah, that's me.

I'm sorry, but I just get paid to serve the paper.

Here.

What is this?

I'm sorry.

What is it, Diane?

I don't understand all this legal mumbo jumbo.

Hey, I'm the lawyer, let me see.

- Damn. - What?

What is it?

The Bryants.

This is a notice advising us that they filed a request

with the court to issue a temporary restraining

order to bar us from having any further contact with their son

Todd.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Hon.

See any mail come in?

You're home from practice kind of early.

Yeah, the coach had to go somewhere.

What's this?

Oh, it's just some legal papers.

Nothing for you.

Nothing from Susan, if that's what you're after.

Are we suing somebody?

Oh, well, if we are, I don't see what business

it is of yours.

This is about Todd, Mom.

What is this?

What is the sudden interest in our legal affairs?

I just asked a question.

I mean, is there a problem with Todd?

Someone is trying to interfere with his care and your father

and I are being forced to hire a lawyer to stop them.

Good enough?

Does this have anything to do with that man who

came here about adopting Todd?

That is our business.

Your father's and mine.

Hey, I just asked a question.

Well, you got your answer.

Can he do stuff at all?

Who?

My brother.

Can he walk or talk or do anything,

or does he just lie there?

What's going on here?

What's going on with you, Ma?

I just asked a simple question.

I mean, Mom, it was you who always told us

the reason we can never visit him is he wouldn't

recognize us anyway, right?

Your brother is retarded.

He is one of the tragedies of my life.

He is not getting better.

He will never get better.

He is retarded, OK?

OK.

Do you ever go and see him?

Just you and--

That is enough.

I will not be cross-examined in my own house.

Your brother is in one of the finest facilities in the state,

and he is getting the best of care, far better

than any cripple could give him, and far better than

if he had to compete for our love and attention

with two self-centered teenagers like you and your sister.

Mom, I didn't mean to upset you.

Just leave me alone.

Just-- just go up to your room, drive your car,

whatever it is that you do.

Oh, God, just leave me alone.

How's she doing?

She finally cried herself to sleep.

I'll never forget that little guy's face today when I told

him I couldn't see him anymore.

I tried to explain it to him, but I could hear him crying

all the way back to the van.

I wish Mrs. Bryant could have heard you say that.

Why?

What difference would it make to her?

She told me that's exactly what happened

when she had to leave Todd.

She didn't have to leave Todd.

She did it because she wanted to.

I did it because she forced me to.

So spare me the stories about what she felt.

Hey, hey hey, come on.

None of this is helping us figure a way

to beat that restraining order.

This isn't going to be solved in court.

There's more here than just law.

Maybe so, Jonathan, but right now the law

is the only thing we've got.

So if you can't help, just stay out of it.

I'm sorry.

I'm just so damn angry.

It's so unfair.

There's not a thing we can do.

They're the natural parents.

They've got all the rights.

So what about Todd, doesn't he have any rights?

Every kid has a right to sue his parents.

He can sue them to sever his ties with them.

He can become-- what do they call it?

Emancipated.

Emancipated.

Well, that's an established point of law,

but we're not just talking about a minor,

we're talking about a retarded minor.

Well, don't the retarded have any rights under the law?

Well, sure, they do, but on this one, I don't know.

Well, he has a right to an attorney.

Everybody has a right to an attorney.

Now they may be able to keep him from seeing you, Scotty,

but can they keep him from seeing his own lawyer?

Hi, kiddo.

I don't want to go practice.

Yeah, I know.

It's because Scotty and Diane can't come and see you, huh?

They don't want it.

Ah, come on, they explained to you why

they can't come and see you.

They could if they really wanted to.

They could if they really love me.

Todd, what you're doing right now

is you're being a little boy.

Now, if you want Scotty and Diane for your family,

you're going to have to act like a big boy now.

You're going to have to try to understand

what's going on so you can fight for what you want and get it.

But I can't do nothing.

How can I do something?

That's what I'm going to tell you.

You know what a judge is?

Like on TV?

Right, like on TV.

He's the guy that sits there and puts the bad guys in jail.

Well it's not always a question

of putting a bad guy in jail.

You see, sometimes when people have a disagreement, they--

here.

Suppose you and your best friend both wanted

to play with the same toy.

What would you do?

Ask Mrs. Burke.

All right, well, a judge is like Mrs. Burke.

See, when grownups have a disagreement,

they go to a judge and the judge decides what's

right according to the law.

What law?

The rules.

Like, if you were in a race and you ran out of your lane,

what would happen?

I don't win.

Right, because those are the rules.

Well, in life there are rules, too,

and a judge knows what they are.

But the judge won't let Scotty and Diane see me.

It's only because he hasn't heard you yet.

Todd, would you be willing to stand up in front of a judge

and tell him what you want?

And he'd let me live with Scotty and Diane?

Maybe.

There's a chance.

It won't be easy.

Nothing's easy.

I'll tell a judge.

You take me to a judge, Coach.

I want to tell him.

Now, wait a minute.

You don't just go and see a judge,

You see, you've got to have an attorney.

But I don't have no attorney.

You want one?

Sure.

All right, kiddo, you got one now.

Come on.

Hiya, kid.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

Mr. Wilson.

I'm sorry, but I've got orders to call

the police if you come here.

There's an injunction against your seeing Toddy.

You know that.

That's where you're wrong, Mrs. Burke.

There is a temporary restraining order against Scotty Wilson.

I'm not here as Scotty Wilson.

I'm here as an attorney seeing my client.

He got himself a lawyer.

His attorney?

Your Honor, this is preposterous.

Mr. Park, you know these proceedings are being held

in my chambers so they can be a little less formal,

but I'd appreciate it if you would

refrain from the theatrics.

Sorry, Your Honor.

It's all right, son.

Your Honor, Mr. Wilson is himself the object

of the restraining order.

His client, as he calls him, is a minor

of diminished mental capacities whose guardians are the ones

who sought the restraining order to protect him from Mr. Wilson.

So this is absurd.

Mr. Wilson?

Your honor, I am an attorney licensed by the bar

to practice law in this state.

The minor in question is also the object of this restraining

order and has requested me to act on his behalf

in the matter now pending before this court.

And on his behalf, I am requesting the court

to set aside ruling on whether the temporary restraining

order should be made permanent until Your Honor has

had a chance to consider my client's petitions.

What petitions?

Mr. Parker, the guy on my side of the desk asks the questions.

Sorry.

Sorry, Your Honor.

What petitions?

Mark?

The first is my client's opposition

to the request for a permanent restraining

order barring my client from seeing

Mr. and Mrs. Scott Wilson.

The second is a petition asking the court

to appoint guardians ad litem, temporary guardians

for my client, and that those guardians

be Mr. And Mrs. Scott Wilson.

Guardians ad litem, your client

must be entertaining some litigation of his own.

That's correct, Your Honor.

It is my client's intent to take whatever steps are

necessary to sever his legal ties from his natural parents,

Richard and Lauren Bryant so that he will

be free to be adopted by Mr. and Mrs.

Scott Wilson, who love him.

Your Honor, I must protest.

Yes, well, I kind of figured you would.

I mean, come on, Mr. Wilson, who are you trying to kid?

Your Honor, we are talking about a retarded boy who could

no sooner pronounce the words in those petitions, let alone

understand what they meant.

Your Honor, we love the boy, and we

want to make a home for him.

And he loves us, and he knows very

well what those words mean.

The boy is a mental incompetent,

and this man is making a mockery of--

Mr. Parker, I'm going to decide who is

and who is not competent.

Not you.

Yes, Your Honor.

Mr. Wilson, I'm going to have to insist on a competency

hearing for the minor in question

to determine whether he understands

the nature of the proceedings.

If I find that he does, then I will

accept you as his counselor, and I will entertain your motion.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Not so fast, Mister.

If I find out that the young man in question

does not understand what's going on, that you, in fact, have

manipulated him and the law and I've

attempted to manipulate this court,

I'm going to hold you in contempt.

And you're going to have a lot more to worry about

than just a restraining order.

Is that clear?

Yes, Your Honor.

All right, I'll have the clerk set aside

the 23rd of this month on the hearing phase

in the case of Bryant versus Bryant.

Coach, I can't thank you enough for bringing

your team down here to work out with our athletes.

I'm delighted that you asked.

It'll be a great experience for our guys.

They'll learn more about track by teaching it

and more about life working with your Special Olympians.

OK, you guys, Mr. Smith here has divided his athletes up

into groups of five, and I've done the same

to you, so that each one of you will

have one group to work with.

OK, let's get to it.

OK, my name's Josh, and I'm going to be working with you

today, OK?

Hi, Josh.

Hi.

When I call up your names, I want you to answer up

loud and clear, OK?

All right.

All right.

Kyle Davis.

Hi, Josh.

Good.

Marybeth Wilkerson?

I am here.

OK.

Todd-- Todd Bryant.

Here.

Todd, where do you live?

At the group foster care home with Mrs. Burke.

Toddy, I'm Josh Bryant.

I'm your brother.

My-- my brother?

Yeah.

My brother.

My brother.

My brother.

My brother.

You lied to me and to Jennifer.

All these years, all you did was lie.

Josh, we didn't lie to you.

Yes, you did.

You said that he wouldn't know us,

that he couldn't do anything.

I mean, he's my brother.

Why didn't you ever take me to visit him?

Josh, because it was too painful for us.

Can't you understand that?

No.

Josh, once he was in the home and well taken care of,

we had to put him out of our mind.

Josh, there was nothing we could do for him then,

and we had to get our lives back to normal.

Josh, we gave him up because the doctors

and all the experts told us to.

They said that he was going to be better off.

Believe me, he is better off.

He's not a part of our lives now,

and we are not part of his.

No, maybe you're not, but I am.

He's my brother, and I'm going to visit him again.

Oh, Josh, I don't think that's a good idea.

I don't care what you think.

Now, wait a minute, don't smart

mouth your mother, all right?

Now we'll decide what's best for this family.

What are you going to do, Dad?

Get an injunction against me too?

Josh?

Let him go.

Richard, maybe we should think about what we're doing.

Maybe we should meet with those people.

No.

Damn it, Lauren, these people are

responsible for all of this.

The Wilsons, Smith, all of them.

This family was doing fine, and so was Todd until they

started butting into our lives.

Tomorrow we're going to go down to court

and we're going to nail this thing shut once and for all.

OK?

How are you doing, Todd?

OK.

A little nervous?

Uh-huh.

That's OK.

Toddy, do you know why we're here today?

Uh-huh.

Why?

To talk to the judge.

And what's he going to do?

He's going to say what's good.

He knows what's good because he knows the rules.

And do you understand what your parents want?

They don't want me to see you and Diane anymore.

Todd, where do you live?

TODD: You know.

SCOTTY: Yeah, but the judge needs to hear it from you.

At the group home with Mrs. Burke.

You like it there?

It's OK.

Are they mean to you?

No.

They're OK.

SCOTTY: Where do you want to live?

TODD: With you and Diane.

SCOTTY: Why?

Because I don't have a mom and dad.

SCOTTY: But you do, Todd.

You have a real mom and dad.

TODD: But I don't know them.

SCOTTY: Do you love your real mom and dad?

I don't know them.

I know Joshy, though.

He's my brother.

Todd, is there anything you want to tell the judge?

Uh-huh.

SCOTTY: Go ahead then.

Tell him whatever you want.

I got to go to the bathroom.

I think that's very sensible, son.

You can go to the bathroom.

Would someone please accompany this young man?

This court will now take a 10 minute recess.

I think that should be time enough.

Did I do good?

You did very good.

I'll take him.

Come on.

Oh, Judge, I forgot to tell you something.

Well, you can tell when you come back, son.

TODD: No, I might forget.

OK, what?

TODD: I love Scotty and Diane.

Is that in the rules?

Well, we make allowances for that.

I don't get no allowance, but it ought to be in the rules.

It's important.

Yes, it is.

Your Hon-- Your Honor, could I see you in your chambers,

please, and the Wilsons?

Dr. Bryant, this court is now in recess.

If you have anything to say, you should really

do it through your attorney.

We don't need an attorney, Your Honor.

Well, all right then.

Dr. and Mrs. Bryant, you know once you've made this decision,

it cannot be reversed.

We know, Your Honor.

And you're both sure about this?

Yes.

Yes.

And, I'll tell you why, Your Honor, because it's

the first time since we put him in that home

that I haven't felt guilty.

I know he'll be happy now, and I know he won't be crying

when we leave him this time.

Thank you.

We love him very much.

So do we.

I know.

What's going on?

I just saw the Bryants leave.

It's all over, Mark.

The judge said what was good?

No, Todd, your mom and dad did.

You ready to go home with your new parents?

I get to live with you.

Forever and ever.

Hey, Todd, what about me?

Your attorney has to get paid, you know?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Let's go home, son.
