• Sharon : Did you meet any kids that you're curious about?

  Pete : We met one little girl who was sitting all by herself, very sweet, a little guarded, kind of had a little wall around her. Really small for her age too, maybe a fetal alcohol thing or something?

  Sharon : I saw her... Oh, right there.

  Pete : The little sad-looking one with pigtails who seems like she's been chained to a radiator half her life.

  Sharon : Uh, that's my daughter.

  Pete : The radiator kid?

• Pete : We might have a little bit of knack for this.

  Sharon : I beg to differ.

• Lizzy : Guys, mom's here. Alright get up get up. Come on, come on, let's go. Lita, come on, get your stuff.

  Lita : Bye, Meatball.

  Lizzy : Hey. I've got a car seat for Lita if you don't have one. You guys picking us up? Where's mom?

  Sharon : She was supposed to meet us at the office this morning and she didn't show.

  Ellie : Oh no.

  Sharon : She didn't answer her phone.

  Lizzy : [Getting panicked]  What-did you go to her house? What if something happened to her?

  Karen : Yes. We went to see her. She was very ashamed, she said she can't do it.

  Lizzy : No, she didn't. No because-Why-why would she um, why would she fill out all the forms and then the court stuff and reunification stuff? She didn't-.

  Karen : Lizzy, your mom said you filled out all those forms.

  Lizzy : [Voice breaking]  Well I helped but so what?

  Sharon : She felt she was being pushed into something that she wasn't ready for.

  Lizzy : [In a pleading tone]  No. No-I didn't push her, She's ready. Just-. Just-just let me talk to her, please, and then-. And then we can figure something out and-.

  Karen : Honey.

  Lizzy : [Sobbing]  And she can take me home.

  Karen : Honey, when we saw her, it was obvious. She's using again. She's not coming, baby.

  Sharon : Sweetie, we're so sorry.
