Patty Hewes:
I want you to come home.

Michael Hewes:
I think that would be a mistake.

Patty Hewes:
Why?

Michael Hewes:
Because I like it here. Life is simple, no distractions.

Patty Hewes:
Michael, this isn't you.

Michael Hewes:
Well, that was the point, wasn't it? To change me?

Patty Hewes:
Your behavior, not you. I didn't send you here to become someone else.

Michael Hewes:
You sent me here to prove a point. That you're in control, that you dominate, that, no matter what, you'll always win. And you're right, mom, you will. I've finally realized that.

Patty Hewes:
I don't want to win anything.

Michael Hewes:
Sure you do, and I'm okay with that now. Getting away from you was the best thing that could've happened to me. It gave me clarity.

Patty Hewes:
Did it?

Michael Hewes:
You wanted to completely control of my life. so you took away my free will. Some pretty terrific parenting, real mother-of-the-year type stuff. And I'm glad you did it, because I like it here.

Patty Hewes:
No, you don't. You're coming home.

Michael Hewes:
I'm not going anywhere.
