Larry:
What if I say no?

Edward Stratton III:
Then our only other choice to call in the police, and you'll be charged with child abuse, and Toby will go to a foster home.

Larry:
He's MY son, I don't think there's a court in the country that would take him away from me!

Edward Stratton III:
You could be right. I remember last year there was a kid came into the hospital who was pretty banged up. The doctor found out his father had been beating him; they reported him and the father went to court and he swore up and down that he would never do that again. So the judge gave him the benefit of the doubt. And then a month later, he lost control and hit his son again, found himself right back in court, only this time he was on trial for murder.
