SWSocial Worker

Is there a plan in place if Charlie doesn't recover?

Hey, he's gonna get better.

He really is.

SWSocial Worker

I'm sorry, but you don't know that. I know you don't want to hear this, but I believe these kids are being neglected.

But that's...come on. It's not like they're living on the street, or they're not eating.

SWSocial Worker

No, but frankly, I think the two of you are in way over your heads, and look at the cost. You've got a 15-year-old who practically dropped out at school, and nobody noticed! That's neglect. And as far as I can tell, she's the one who ends up looking after Owen a lot of the time. Now, this is a girl who has not yet demonstrated that she can take care of herself, let alone a 4-year-old. And does anybody make time for that little boy, or is it just about shuttling him to and from daycare? Because that's also neglect.

Look, we're really trying.

SWSocial Worker

You know what I see? I see a family that is one step away from complete disaster, and I will not let that happen.

[to Charlie] You know Paul's a good man, right? ... He just never wanted any of his own. ... I wanted to be able to do this for you.

Mr. Optimism here is working on his will. Just so you know - I was about to say, dibs on Owen; you can have Claudia.
