Ryan Kennedy: Ricky Raydor

Quotes 

• Sharon Raydor : May I ask, have you, by any chance, been talking with your father about this?

  Ricky Raydor : Yeah, we talked a few times. I mean, he's-he's worried about you. Mom, I'm worried about you. I am. Look, helping the kid a little bit, that's great, but t-t-to make him legally your son... I-I just... I think we need to take a giant step back here and just reeva...

  Sharon Raydor : Hold on, hold on. Before we go back, I should clear up a big misunderstanding that you have.

  Ricky Raydor : Okay.

  Sharon Raydor : I'm not asking your permission to adopt Rusty. Or Emily's permission. I see great things in this boy, and I mean that from the bottom of my ever-so-lonely heart.

  Ricky Raydor : Come on, Mom, you know that I did not mean loneliness as a criticism. I was only pointing out the fact...

  Sharon Raydor : It's clear what you're pointing out. Now I'm pointing out to you... if you don't develop a little human compassion for this young man who grew up with none of the advantages you took for granted every day of your life, then I'm gonna leave here wondering where I went wrong... as a mother.

  Ricky Raydor : Mom. Mom, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on. Look, I-I'm... I'm gonna have children one day. So is Emily. Do you really want your grandkids calling that boy Uncle Rusty?

  Sharon Raydor : That is a whole lot better than what I'm thinking of calling you right now.

  Ricky Raydor : Mom.

  Sharon Raydor : Richard William Raydor, you listen to me and you listen to me good. You've got one chance to get this right. You need to turn your attitude around... right this minute, because if you make Rusty feel unwelcome in this family after all of his and my hard work, I will be just so... disappointed. Oh, my God. I am so disappointed in you right now, I don't even know what to say.

• Ricky Raydor : Okay... funny guy... I have one question for you... before you officially become the little brother I never wanted, I'm interested in what your idea of family is, and what the word means to you. "Family."

  Rusty Beck : Well... I guess... it means the-the people in your life who you've decided t... to love no matter what, and... the people who are going to love you back... no matter what.

  Sharon Raydor : Sounds pretty good to me, loving each other no matter what.

  Ricky Raydor : Not bad.

• Rusty Beck : And I'll just stay out of your way.

  Ricky Raydor : Thanks. Sorry to invade your space. Turnabout is fair play, right?
