(Pounding on door)
Man: Yeah, yeah.
Stop all that banging, i heard you the first time,
banging on the door.
Who the hell is...
My name is Randall peasing. I'm your biological son.
36 years ago you left me at the front door...
No, hold on, just let me say this.
36 years ago you left me at the front door of a fire station.
Now, don't worry, I'm not here
because I want anything from you.
I was raised by two incredible parents,
I have a lights out family of my own, and...
That car you see parked out in front of your house?
Cost $143,000 and i bought it for cash.
I bought it for cash because I felt like it,
and because I can do stuff like that.
Yeah, you see, I turned out pretty all right.
Which might surprise a lot of folks
considering the fact that 36 years ago
my life started with you leaving me on a fire station doorstep
with nothing more than a ratty blanket
and a crap-filled diaper.
I came here today so i could look you in the eye,
say that to you, and then get back in my fancy-ass car
and finally prove to myself, and to you,
and to my family who loves me,
that I didn't need a thing from you,
even after I knew who you were.
You want to come in?
Okay.
So is there something you want to say to me?
'Cause otherwise, i really need to get going.
You want me to say something?
No, I told you, I don't want anything from you.
But you're here. Just to tell you that.
Well...
I've been told.
You know what? If you're just gonna sit here making excuses...
Didn't make any excuses. Because there's nothing you can say.
Didn't say anything for just that reason.
Seems to me you want me to try to make amends so you can say,
"screw you," and storm out of here. That's ridiculous.
Okay.
I'd like to say i remember that day, but...
I barely do.
I'm clean now, finally, but...
I was on the streets then.
I remember her dying,
your mom, remember the baby.
I'd like to say I remember leaving you at a fire station,
but I don't.
Not an excuse.
In fact, it probably tells you something about me
that I don't remember.
I do like fire stations, though,
so that sounds like something I'd do
if I had to do something, you know?
Anyway, I don't know if that's what you're looking for,
but either way, you can be sure
this life of mine is punishment enough
for the things I've done.
If you think I'm gonna forgive you... I don't.
No, you were right. I did just want
to say, "screw you," and storm out of here.
Well, go ahead. Screw you.
Yup.

You want to meet your grandchildren?

Hey. Alan.

but the, uh, umbilical cord was cutting off his oxygen.
He was stillborn. Nothing anybody could've done.
I'm sorry, I'm... I'm not processing anything.
(Sniffles) My wife?
Is fine.
And she'll be awake pretty soon.
You have two beautiful, healthy children, Jack.
Boy and a girl. (Sniffles)
But we did lose the third child.
(Sniffles)
(Trembling breath)
I need to be with my wife.
And you will be.
But she needs to sleep now.
But soon. You just sit down.
Sit. Sit.
Okay if I keep you company a second?
Yeah.
(Sighs)
Okay if I...
Try and say something meaningful?
Yeah.
I lost my wife last year.
Cancer.
That's the reason i still work so much at my age.
Just... trying to pass the time.
(Chuckles)
We were married 53 years.
Five children, 11 grandkids.
But we lost our very first child
during the delivery.
The reason I went into this field, truth be told...
...i have spent five decades delivering babies.
More babies than I can count.
But there is not a single day that goes by
that I don't think of the child I lost.
And I'm an old man now.
♪ ♪
I like to think that because of the child that I lost,
because of the path that...
That he sent me on,
that I have saved countless other babies.
Yeah.
I like to think that maybe one day
you'll be an old man like me...
...talking a younger man's ear off, explaining to him
how you...
Took the sourest lemon that life has to offer...
And turned it into something resembling lemonade.
If you can do that, then you will still be...
Taking three babies home from this hospital.
Just...
Maybe not the way you planned.
I don't know if that was meaningful or senile,
but I thought it ought to be said.
Your wife'll still be asleep for a little while.
Go see your babies.
They're excited to meet their father.
I think maybe they got a good one.
Sorry. Just had to put the girls down.
These people, they're your...
My parents.
Well, my adopted.
They're my parents.
You've been with them your whole life?
From the start.
A fireman found me.
He took me to the hospital, and they were there.
They said it felt meant to be.
Just one of those lucky breaks, I guess.
A fire station.
(Chuckles): Gee, what a thing to have done.
I should get going. Maybe we could have you by
every once... No, I don't think that's necessary.
It's no pressure. I just... It's just that
I'm...
I'm dying, is all.
You're sick?
Dying, not sick.
Sick was months ago.
I'm toward the end, fortunately.
Uh... I don't know what to say.
No, there's nothing to be said.
It was a kindness you've shown me,
letting me meet them.
Your dad must've been very proud of you.

I cannot believe that I'm drinking these calories.
Since I just torpedoed my career,
I think you can afford an extra,
you know, 100 calories or whatever.
150. It's 150.
What if I'm not better than the man-NY?
What if I am exactly "man-NY good"?
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Broadway.
Can't sing.
Porn.
Yeah, maybe.
I'm gonna get some more of this red.
(Grunts)
I'm in so much trouble.
I am screwed.
Listen, okay, Kevin...
Do you remember what dad used to say?
When something crappy would happen to us?
Whenever we'd get down,
whenever we felt like life wasn't going our way?
Which one's yours?
Um...
Those two.
Congrats! Twins.
Wow.
How about you? Which one's yours?
None of 'em, actually.
Strangest damn thing.
Someone left a newborn at my fire station.
I didn't know what to do, so I brought him here.

No. Thank you.
