Rossi：Joy?

Joy：What- what are you doing here?

Rossi：You flew all the way out here to meet me. I figured you had a few questions. I know I do. And if your first question is will you please just leave me alone. I respect that.

Joy：Why didn’t you stay with her?

Rossi：Your mom and I had a complicated¹ relationship. It was a whirlwind summer in Paris and when it was over, the reality was I was moving up in the FBI and she was a diplomat².

Joy：That’s not good enough.

Rossi：Look, I wanted to take over the world and she was already doing it. She was meeting with dignitaries, traveling to different countries. And I couldn’t handle it. And instead of manning up, I pushed her away. I told her I wasn’t sure I wanted to be married. But honestly, I j- just wanted to catch up.

Joy：You were the love of her life.

Rossi：I didn’t believe that. I know what I said to you earlier, that if your mom was pregnant³, she would have told me. But the truth is, she wouldn’t have said anything. I was in no position to have a family and she knew it. I was running away.

Joy：Had you known⁴, would you have stayed?

Rossi：I can’t speak for the David Rossi of 30 years ago. I’d like to think I would have. But I’m standing⁵ here right now. Look, can you just stay a little while longer? I’ll pay for the change of the ticket.

Joy：Oh, no actually, I’ve got to go. Um, you have a grandkid who’s running a fever.

Rossi：Grandkid?

Joy：Yeah. A two-year-old boy, Kai.

Rossi：You’re killing⁶ me.

Joy：And you’d love my husband. He’s Italian.

Rossi：Look…if you don’t mind having some company this weekend, I’d love to meet them and… get to know you.

W：Ma’am, we’re about to close the door.

Joy：Yeah. Yeah, I’d like that. Dad.
