:51:00
Waves to him once.
:51:02
Drives away without
a backward glance.
:51:08
- Richie is what he is.
- What exactly is that?
:51:10
He was born back of a van going up
Route 5 to a Grateful Dead concert.
:51:15
The first sound he ever heard
was "Beat It On Down The Line."
:51:21
- Well, it could be worse.
- Not much.
:51:26
- How long have you been his guardian?
- Since he was nine or ten.
:51:29
But I've always
taken care of Richie.
:51:32
So, what can I do for you?
:51:34
Um, I was hoping
you would help me...
:51:37
get Richie out of therapy.
:51:39
Look, I know I'm just his
brother, but I've been like
a mother and a father to him...
:51:43
and I know I can get
overprotective, but...
:51:46
- Why would you want to take
Richie out of therapy now?
- What Richie needs is normalcy.
:51:50
Well, normalcy...
:51:53
Normalcy can be interpreted
in a lot of different ways.
:51:56
Richie has practically been
raised by the state; the
social workers, psychiatrists...
:52:00
forcing him into this,
um, psycho-servitude.
:52:05
He is the sweetest kid you'll ever meet,
but he thinks of himself as handicapped.
:52:08
It just isn't right.
:52:10
Well, he's got
legal problems.
:52:13
Richie was sentenced by the court
to mandatory treatment.
:52:16
Every kid gets into trouble.
I mean, that's why I need you
to help get him out.
:52:20
You know, Dale, it's hard to tell
when someone's feeling pain...
:52:24
- but I want you to know...
- If Richie feels pain...
:52:28
then I feel pain.
:52:31
Pretty much
in tune with him.
:52:33
I just wish
you'd give us a chance.
:52:38
Let me check out
Richie's status.
:52:40
Then, uh, I'll give
probation a call.
:52:47
Oh, thanks.
Thanks, Dr. Capa.
:52:49
- I really appreciate it.
- You're welcome, Dale.
:52:52
You either lift weights
or work with your hands.
:52:55
Yeah, uh,
I make furniture.
:52:58
- Really.
- Yeah, I made this desk for Bob,
to remind him of New York.
