Sharon Raydor: May I ask, have you, by any chance, been talking with your father about this?
Ricky Raydor: Yeah, we talked a few times. I mean, he's-he's worried about you. Mom, I'm worried about you. I am. Look, helping the kid a little bit, that's great, but t-t-to make him legally your son... I-I just... I think we need to take a giant step back here and just reeva...
Sharon Raydor: Hold on, hold on. Before we go back, I should clear up a big misunderstanding that you have.
Ricky Raydor: Okay.
Sharon Raydor: I'm not asking your permission to adopt Rusty. Or Emily's permission. I see great things in this boy, and I mean that from the bottom of my ever-so-lonely heart.
Ricky Raydor: Come on, Mom, you know that I did not mean loneliness as a criticism. I was only pointing out the fact...
Sharon Raydor: It's clear what you're pointing out. Now I'm pointing out to you... if you don't develop a little human compassion for this young man who grew up with none of the advantages you took for granted every day of your life, then I'm gonna leave here wondering where I went wrong... as a mother.
Ricky Raydor: Mom. Mom, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on. Look, I-I'm... I'm gonna have children one day. So is Emily. Do you really want your grandkids calling that boy Uncle Rusty?
Sharon Raydor: That is a whole lot better than what I'm thinking of calling you right now.
Ricky Raydor: Mom.
Sharon Raydor: Richard William Raydor, you listen to me and you listen to me good. You've got one chance to get this right. You need to turn your attitude around... right this minute, because if you make Rusty feel unwelcome in this family after all of his and my hard work, I will be just so... disappointed. Oh, my God. I am so disappointed in you right now, I don't even know what to say.
