[Joanna returns to New York]

All my life I've felt like...somebody's wife or somebody's mother, somebody's daughter. Even all the time we were together I never knew who I was. And that's why I had to go away. And in California, I think I found myself. I got myself a job. I got myself a therapist, a really good one. And I feel better about myself than I ever have in my whole life. I learned a great deal about myself.

Such as?... No, really, I'd really like to know what you learned.

Well, I've learned that I love my little boy. And that I'm capable of taking care of him.

What do you mean?

I want my son.

You can't have him

Don't get defensive. Don't try to bully me.

I'm not getting defensive. Who walked out 15 months ago?

I don't care. I'm still his mother.

Yeah, from 300 miles away. And because you sent post cards gives you the right to come back?

I never stopped wanting him.

What makes you sure he wants you?

What makes you sure he doesn't want me?

Okay look. We're gonna sit here and bat this back and forth. It's like old times.

You can't deny me...

Don't tell me what I can or cannot do! Don't talk to me that way!

I anticipated this.

Okey look, I don't want to hear this. Do what you have to. I'll do what I have to.

Fine... I am very sorry about this.

Okey, just do what you have to do.
