00:30I'd like to think that he's searching for a way to express himself.
00:35We're thinking about putting him into an institution.
00:39What, you want to see that happen? Huh? You want to see him put Jimmy in a home?
00:43That's Christine's decision.
00:45He hasn't changed ever since Jennifer. He doesn't do anything, he doesn't say anything.
