We have to bail.
No. no, no, no. What about Luka and the others? We can't leave them like that.
Why not?
You don't mean that.
You think this is the only crappy orphanage in this place? This is a country full of orphans, okay? We can't save them all.
No, but we can save this one. Parker, we can--we can save this one. Look, I know growing up was tough. I-I know that you--you grew up in the system. It was--it was bad. I know. It was, it was worse than bad, but that doesn't mean that all foster parents are monsters. Mine wasn't.
You grew up with your grandmother.
We called her "Nana," but she was our foster mom. She, uh...she--she would cuss like a sailor. The old girl would tan your ass just as soon as look at you. But--but she fed us, she bathed us, she put a roof over our head. And, oh, she would raise hell if you so much as looked at us crooked.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well, you were lucky. No. We’ll put these kids in the system, and odds are, they're gonna--they're gonna... (trying not to cry) they're gonna turn out like me.
I like how you turned out.
[Parker breathes hard, getting control of herself]
