00:00
I had to help other people create families.
00:08
I have something to tell you.
00:10
How can you say that to me?
00:12
I don't want to be a father, I don't!
00:14
Does that somehow diminish how I'm feeling right now?
00:16
You want to look back on your life and know that you fought when things got hard.
00:20
I was gonna be you and me.
00:22
Forever.
00:23
I never planned on becoming a dad.
00:25
I didn't even know it was possible.
00:27
Suddenly, I could be gay.
00:29
Be married.
00:30
And be a father.
00:32
It used to be being gay only meant one thing.
00:35
And now, I can be anything.
00:37
Do they want me to go to court alone?
00:39
But he is my son.
00:41
I just want to feel like I have options.
00:43
Like I have some sort of say in any of this.
00:45
But it's not all about you, Thomas.
00:48
Do you know how long I've been waiting for a break in my career like this one?
00:52
That's not true.
00:53
It is.
00:54
That is not true!
00:55
You and I decided this.
00:57
You were devastated!
00:58
I was!
00:59
I was devastated!
01:00
But what about you?
01:02
You would have really wanted to leave a loving home to go back and live with your junkie mom.
01:07
We knew from day one this was probably going to be temporary.
01:11
I didn't want to go through something like that again and lose you.
01:14
Maybe we just want different things.
01:16
How can you say that?
01:18
What you did for Arthur, no one can ever take away.
01:21
You need to remember that.
01:23
I need to do this for me.
01:26
I've been in love exactly three times in my life.
01:29
When people say this type of thing, it's implied that love is finite.
01:33
First, I loved him.
01:35
And then, there's Oscar.
01:38
My Huckleberry friend.
01:40
My husband.
01:41
I will never take that word for granted.
01:44
And Arthur.
01:46
A son who was never really mine.
01:48
Sometimes when everything falls apart and I think to myself that this can't be all there is.
01:54
I remember a poem I once read.
01:57
Tell me, what else should I have done?
02:00
Doesn't everything die at last and too soon?
02:03
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
02:11
I don't know what's going to happen.
02:14
All I do know is that this is never really all there is.
02:19
That possibility of something more is wild.
02:23
And it's precious.
02:26
It's life.
