Phillip: I was going to go over and see James. I wanted to get over there before they stopped allowing visitors.

Beth: Well, I've already been there twice today.

Phillip: Oh, well, I thought it might be kind of nice if we showed up there together. You know, might be nice for him to have mom and dad.

Beth: Uh-uh, see, Mom didn't need Dad to show her support. Just like Dad didn't need Mom to make his decision to have her son thrown in jail.

Phillip: He broke the law and he doesn’t...

Beth: But he could be home with me if you hadn't convinced the judge to deny him bail. So if you want to show support to your son, that's great. But I'm not going to be there to make it any easier for you.

Phillip: James, I know that this is hard, but eventually you're going to see that these lessons that you're learning right now are going to be invaluable.

James: Eventually, you'll learn how much I hate you.

Phillip: He scares the hell out of me. Because right now, he has got no regard for anybody or anything. It's like... you know, he just does whatever he feels like. There are no rules.

Rick: He has no rules?

Phillip: None.

Rick: Yeah, I wonder where he got that from?

D.A.: I understand. I hope you understand that I can't discuss the details of your son's case.

Phillip: Yeah, no, I don’t...I don't want to talk about the details. I just would like to try to understand the charges. Why are there so many?

D.A.: There were that many crimes committed. James may have formed only one company, but it affected a few hundred citizens.

Phillip: Yeah, but it's a little severe to be going after him on over 600 counts, don't you think?

D.A.: Excuse me, Mr. Spaulding, I'm confused. Aren't you the one who turned your son in? Didn't you expect him to be punished?

Phillip: Yes, and I want him to pay a price for what he did. I just don't think that price should be the rest of his life.

D.A.: Mr. Spaulding, your son is a rich kid who took money from people who live paycheck to paycheck. It's my job to see that he's prosecuted to the full extent of the law. America's had enough of you greedy bastards getting rich off the rest of us. Thank you for coming in.
