Crain. Steven says that respectable citizens don't like to
change their minds. Arthur remembers a red sweater and a

happened.

LH: How do you feel about that?
RJ: I always wanted to be part of the family. But, I won't
go against Norm. He's my husband.
AH: You think I'm guilty. And those dinners and the wharf,
and the kindness. You were just humoring me.
AM: We passed a certain point. We can't go back.
RH: We're not really alike are we?
