[Knox has just found out Roger's Dad has given up custody of him, and explains that he too had a father who was absent during his childhood)
George Knox: You know Roger, when I was growing up I never saw very much of my Dad. He couldn't take care of himself. So taking care of me and my brothers was out of the question. I'm not sure the pain that caused ever goes away. But I am sure you can't go through life thinking everyone you meet will one day let you down. Because if you do, a very bad thing will happen. You'll end up like me. I'm going inside.
J.P.: I thought you said you had to be somewhere.
George Knox: I do. Right here.
