I'm placing a call to social services. A home without a legal guardian is a home we cannot condone.
[He enters office] Hello all. Uh, sorry I was late. I got held up at the office. So, now that Fiona and I are engaged, I've filed the paperwork so that we can become the legal guardians of the children.

As in failed?
As in fucked. I am not a religious man, but every now and then, a child comes along who makes me believe in the existence of Satan. Now, something drastic must be done, or he's going to slip down through the cracks, right up into a clock tower with a sniper rifle.
Given our resources, he is beyond our ability to help.
It's just a phase. And... now that we're aware of it...

For what?
If we could just take a walk and talk in private? Get a breath of fresh air?
