Sharon Raydor:  I 'm very busy , Jack , so let me get right to the point . I 'm thinking about adoption , and since we 're married , that decision involves you .
Jackson Raydor: Adoption ?
Sharon Raydor: Mm - hmm .
Jackson Raydor: Of Rusty ? I thought he turned _ eighteen _ .
Sharon Raydor: Well , he 's getting older , yes , and he 's planning on going to collage , looking for a job ...
Jackson Raydor: Congratulations . That is great , and eventually he 'll be movin ' out , huh ?
Sharon Raydor: But he needs a family legally . I want him to have backup that he can count on .
Jackson Raydor: You - you do n't have to do that exactly by the book . Uh , uh , uh , look , Sharon , I like Rusty , I do , but ... we already have a family .
Sharon Raydor: We share children , Jack . It 's not the same thing .
Jackson Raydor: Well , this impacts me too . I 'm not made of money , you know , so if you wanna adopt a kid ... I should be compensated for all the bullshit I will have to go through .
Sharon Raydor: I knew that you 'd say something like that , so ... I talked to my lawyer , and I 'm giving you two options .
Jackson Raydor: Well , these are divorce papers .
Sharon Raydor: And these would formalize an adoption .
Sharon Raydor: I
Sharon Raydor: 'm not paying you a single dime , Jack . Just sign one document or the other .
Jackson Raydor: Ahem . Have you talked to our real children about this ?
Sharon Raydor: No . And I haven't asked Rusty yet either . I 'm doing things in a particular way , and you are first on my list .
Jackson Raydor: You know , if you were gon na divorce me , you would have done this years ago .
Sharon Raydor: Jack , the era during which it was professionally useful for me to have a wedding ring on my finger is long gone .
Jackson Raydor: Hmm . In a divorce , I would be entitled to half your savings and half your pension . Given any thought to that ?
Sharon Raydor: So you 're ready to pay all the back child support you owe me for the family you deserted ?
Jackson Raydor: We were never divorced . Why do you think that I owe you ?
Sharon Raydor: Would you like to experience firsthand what the court thinks of child abandonment ? Go for it .
Jackson Raydor: Thanks for the heads - up , Sharon . I 'll be in touch .
Sharon Raydor: I certainly hope so , otherwise you 'll be hearing it from my lawyer .
