In Plain Sight2008

[Mary has started the paperwork to put Tripp and his siblings in foster care]

Mary Shannon:
So, I have the paperwork, if you...

Tripp Stewart:
I can't.

Mary Shannon:
Tripp, you know this act won't last. Okay, the other night? That was your future. As soon as this new guy bails...

Tripp Stewart:
It doesn't matter. I'm not going to walk out on them. I know she's a wreck, but she's got to have somebody to come home to when it all falls apart.

Mary Shannon:
Wait. Okay, so you're going to destroy your life so your mother has a shoulder to cry on? Please. Please. Please don't do this. It's not worth it. In the end, she'll resent you for it. Trust me. I've been there. I'm still there.

Tripp Stewart:
I'm not you. This is different. I'm different.

Mary Shannon:
Really? How so? Name one way that this is different. That your situation is different from mine.

Tripp Stewart:
It's different because I have you.
