Well, not so bad.
Morning Routine and Space Needs
00:02:14
Speaker
Sure you don't want the couch at my place? This is fine. You know, I spent a few nights here myself. I, uh, kept a space heater in my mop closet. If it gets too chilly. What are you doing here so early? Inventory. I need the room. I've got two meetings this morning. Okay. Then can you give me a hand later? After the meetings. Gotcha. I'll help you out this afternoon this morning. I can't.
Addy's Loan Reconsideration
00:02:44
Speaker
You know, the loan worked out for Addy. The bank reconsidered. Good for him. News or the post? I'm good. Have you had coffee yet? No. I'm good. Nuggets won again last night. A shootout. Okay. I'll get some tickets and we can catch a game next week. Work's piling up, Ray. Okay. I'll fire up the coffee pot and...
Coffee Talk and Game Plans
00:03:14
Speaker
Bring you a cup. Malcolm? Mom? What are you doing here?
00:03:38
Speaker
I'm taking you up on your offer. You invited me down here to see what you do and I'm
Unexpected Family Visit
00:03:45
Speaker
here. Does dad know you're here? I wanted to come alone so we could talk. Mm-hmm. Those are all your things? Uh-huh. So you're living here? Yes. Are you okay? Yes, Mom, I am.
Family Tensions and Betrayal Discussion
00:04:04
Speaker
Do you need anything? No.
00:04:07
Speaker
This is Club Orem. This is the coalition. I meant to come earlier. I mean, before you had to invite me. Do I really have to apologize, Malcolm? Doesn't me coming here tell you how I feel about this situation?
Family Dynamics and Beliefs
00:04:28
Speaker
This horrible situation? Dad was angry and you were too. He was hurt. I didn't betray him.
00:04:37
Speaker
I wouldn't have done this if it meant betraying anyone. I listened to what you were trying to tell me. And I don't believe that you set out to betray anyone. Thank you. I believe that you are youthful and naive. Mom. That you are vulnerable in Raymond's presence. Mom, you haven't seen me in Raymond's presence. You couldn't know anything about it.
00:05:03
Speaker
I know how easy it is for children to try and please their parents. I'm a grown man. I want you to speak to your father and brother. I want that too, but what can I do?
Adoption and Family Complexities
00:05:13
Speaker
I can't apologize to Anthony for being adopted. I don't expect you to. This is a moment in our lives that has possibilities. Winning that contract was key to opening a door for all of us. Was it the only way?
00:05:28
Speaker
Can you still believe even when it costs you personally? Are our interactions going to be a series of transactions because that I can't live with? I understand. I don't want to either. But in my life, I've had to. Are relationships been that business? My adoption was a barter, a trade, one team to another. You are so very bright.
00:05:57
Speaker
That I knew from the moment I met you, you took everything in. I had no memories of my time with him. The choice was to reteach you or to leave you with what Raymond had already given you. You were always vague about Raymond.
00:06:18
Speaker
So I never had to explain his life to you. And you know what? I didn't know how to. How could I have? I didn't know him at
Introducing Raymond to Sarah
00:06:27
Speaker
all. Except that he was willing to let me raise you. What else could I tell you about him? I felt guilty. Guilty about wanting to know him, myself, and you all at the same time. To be able to share those relationships and not have to weigh one above the other.
00:06:44
Speaker
I did that, and I'm sorry. See? I'm evolving, just like our relationship. It's evolving. Don't look at me like I'm your corny mother. I'm serious. I know you are.
00:07:14
Speaker
Coffee's up. Raymond, this is my mother, Sarah. Mom, this is Raymond. Hello, Raymond. Hi, Sarah.
