She glances at him, her voice barely above a whisper What..?
Roger: takes a deep breath I need someone to help take care of my daughter.
You don’t have a girlfriend who could do it? Or an ex-wife?
sighs heavily No, no girlfriend or ex-wife. My daughter means the world to me, and I want to make sure she's in good hands.
nods slowly Okay… I’ll think about it, Roger.
Roger: looks down, his voice cracking Thank you, Silva. It means a lot to me that you're even considering it. I promise you won't regret it.
She smiles sadly I’m not worried about regretting it, Roger. I just hope I can be enough for your daughter.

Roger: smiles warmly Yeah, we are still standing. And that's what matters. pauses You know, Silva, you remind me so much of myself.
smiles weakly I'm flattered, Roger. You remind me of my dad, always trying to make things better for those he loves.
