Chrissy: I didn't see it you dragged me out early.
Carol: It was almost over.
Chrissy: It wasn't over until the fat lady blows up.
Ben: I can't believe I pulled it of.
Mike: Ah what do you mean you key most of it every two seconds I'd to yank your foot out of your mouth.
Luke: Hey guys what's going on?
Ben and Mike: Luke!
Luke: You guys need a dog.
Mike: Can't a couple of your best buddy's give you a hug you little button nose
Luke: A big goofy dog.
Mike: Mom dad what are you guys doing back?
Jason: We grabbed the first flight we could so we could stopped you before you went ahead with this idiotic plan.
Ben: For your information it was not idiotic it worked like a charm and Mike will take it form here.
Maggie: Mike did you actually tell me you pulled that hair braid scheme.
Mike: Mom I had to, I mean George Bower is a truck driving flake and he was threatening to go to court to take Luke.
Jason: Mike, Luke is 15 years old if he tells the judge he doesn't want to go he will be listened to.
Mike: But dad that wasn't the only reason that I did this, I mean Luke think that his dad left he because he was some kind of secret agent.
Jason: Abandon kids make up all kinds of stories to keep from feeling they weren't wanted.
Mike: You mean you think Luke made this up?
Jason: A long time ago and somewhere along the line he started to believe it.
Mike: But dad if he meets his father he's going to find out the truth.
Jason: And that may hurt Mike but facing the truth about his father is an important part of his growing up.
Mike: Ok alright, I'm sorry I screwed up but dad I don't want to loss Luke .
Maggie: Well none of us does Mike but staying has to be his decision.
Jason: You owe it to Luke to tell him that he can meet his dad right now today.
Mike: Ok fine I'll tell him. But I brought Luke into this house and if he's leaving I want to be the one to see him of.
Luke: So what's going on I know we're not going to the Nicks game.
Mike: Oh yea and how did you figure that one out.
Luke: Well for one thing the games sold out for another it's in Utah.
Mike: Ok Luke listen I'm taking you to Manhattan, you don't have to go if you don't want to but your father's there.
Luke: My dad, my dad's here?
Mike: Yea, you see the bureau of child welfare traced him down and they got a hold of me, I saw him this morning.
Luke: You saw him why didn't you tell me?
Mike: I know and I'm sorry I should of, I mean he's your family and I'm not but I feel like your family Luke.
Luke: So what kind of guy is he?
Mike: Well ah, he's friendly, colorful, he's well traveled.
Luke: Does he know we're coming is he going to be surprise to see me?
Mike: Oh yea.
George: Hi Luke.
Luke: Hi
George: Let's sit down.
Luke: Alright
George: You look just like Alisha.
Luke: Yea I know, I look like you too. You tap your thumb when you're nervous
George: it runs in the family, hey you got the Bower eyebrows, can you do this? Even better that's great
Luke: I know this is supposed to be top secret and everything but could you tell me why you had to leave mom and me?
George: No secret, I was just a big kid and scared to death, how could I take care of either one of you I could hardly take care of myself.
Luke: It's ok I know you are a secret agent or something.
George: Where did you get an idea like that?
Luke: Well I don't know I just sort of figured it out.
George: Well you figured it wrong I was just a snot nose kid with a played out 8 track of the Osborn brother's catching sunlight on my dash broad.
Luke: There was no reason you just left because you felt like it?
George: Oh come on son what's passed is passed.
Luke: All this time I though you were saving the country, you were just running away
George: hey I came back to make it up to you come with me, you're old enough to ride right here in my hip pocket without slowing me down, you and me town to town bar to bar in and out of space like a couple of compadres.
Luke: Compadres.
George: Hey kido it's down right awesome on the road we can kick some butt make some names make the country red.
Luke: There was a time really would of jumped at that , let me just fill you in on something, I was on the street for 3 years eating out of a dumpster and scared to death I'd get bet up or worst every night I hoped and I prayed that you were looking for me that you were going to find me.
George: Here I am.
Luke: You're too late, Mike was the one who found me Mike put a roof over my head Mike put his arm around me and told me that I was smart and told me that it was ok to care he gave me a family.
George: I'm your family that's why I traced you down.
Luke: No you didn't, the bureau of child welfare had to trace you down if they hadn't you'd still be god knows where not giving a damn about me.
George: I care about you the only way I know how, I got a spare sit and an extra sandwich in the glove compartment I want you right there beside me, what do you say?
Mike: Hey Luke what's going on?
Luke: Hey can't a guy give another guy a hug without anyone getting the heebie-jeebies? Come on Mike let's go home.
