[Roland explains to the wives that his newly adopted son is HIV positive]
Joan and I fell in love with this little boy. We weighed the risks, the pros and the cons and this was where we came out but I know that you have to think about it for yourselves.
[smiles] What's to think about? He's your son.
Ok, so, you're in line, door opens, winds howling, jumpmaster shouts:
Green light! Go!
Affirmative. Each trooper jumps in order. Go, go, go. It's your turn. You jump. Static line deploys the chute and then TJ order performance..
Proper exit. Check the body position. Check canopy. Gain canopy control. Keep a sharp lookout. Prepare to land. Lands.
Outstanding. Now Finn, in order to stick your landing where are your five points of contact?
Balls of the feet, calf, thigh, butt, pull-up muscle.
Beautiful. [to an amused Roxy, who is standing behind them] We've got two ace paratroopers in the making.
[playing with Molly] And down comes Daddy in his parachute. And the wind blows into the right. And the wind blows into the left. And down, down, down. [sets Molly on dressing table] Wanna do it again?
I think Daddy wants to do it again. Frank, you're a little kid yourself.
There's nothing more fun that jumpin' out of a plane in the dark.
I'll take your word for it.
I think it's really great, what you guys are doing.
Well, I just hope you all will love him as much as we do.
[smiles] Oh, I know we will.
Roxy, may I ask you a question?
Sure.
You already had the boys before you married Trevor. How long was it before they started calling him "Dad"?
Gosh, uh... [thinking] I think Finn started almost right away. Of course, you know Finn, he's just that way. It took TJ a while longer. Kids are different. I don't really think it's something you can force.
Right. I was just wondering.
For what it's worth I think David's a really lucky kid to have you and Roland as parents.
How's Trevor?
Um, ankle's better. Thank goodness. The Army...just when you get them home you think you can relax!
