Tom Berenger: Jackson Raydor

Quotes 

• Jackson Raydor : Hello, Sharon.

  Sharon Raydor : Jack, would you mind waiting in my office? I'll be with you in a moment.

  Jackson Raydor : What? No hello?

  Sharon Raydor : Hello, Jack. Would you mind waiting in my office? I'll be with you in a moment.

• 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 college, 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 don'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.

  [pause] 

  Sharon Raydor : I'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 gonna 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.
