Julian: [after finding out he has to be taken from Sonny by the social services] You don't want me here anymore?

Sonny: [close to tears] No, that's not it, pal. You just have to go away for a while.

Julian: How long am I going away for?

Sonny: [trying not to cry] I don't want to lie to you. I don't think we'll be seeing each other anymore. I screwed up, I'm so sorry. Come here, put your coat on. This is not your fault, okay? I'm the idiot.

Julian: I don't wanna go!

Sonny: I know you don't, but you have to. You'll be okay, all right?

Julian: [clings to Sonny] Please don't make me go. I won't play the Kangaroo Song anymore.

Sonny: I know buddy, that's not it.

Julian: [as the social worker is dragging him out of the apartment] Please, I promise! I'm sorry, I don't even like that song anymore! And I wipe my own ass! I wipe my own ass!

Sonny: I know!
