Gordon Rogers: In order to

understand how we got here,

you have to first understand

the circumstance.

Man is not created equal.

Some of us are forced

to claw our way

out of the lowest rungs

- Son: Bird.

Mother: Sí.

Gordon: But that doesn't mean

we're loved any less.

My mother, she loved me

so much.

She had me believing I might

actually be one of them.

A perfect husband

with a perfect family

and a perfect house with a car

and a newspaper subscription.

My mother gave me the courage

to claw my way

out of those depths.

Gordon: Didn't matter

who I was.

She made me believe I was

destined for greatness.

I called Anderson's,

that was my first call.

My second, third, fourth, and fifth calls were to hospitals.

And then I go and ask Abbie,

and she said she didn't know

where you'd gone

because you didn't tell her.

Mabelline, how do you

think that looks, huh?

My car is sitting

in the driveway
