The various entanglements of two men in a car accident
-
Dwight Arno: [talking into camera] It was an accident, but what I did was terribly wrong. I left that night because I was afraid of losing you. And that's no excuse. I'm gonna go to prison, and I deserve to go to prison.
Dwight Arno: [regaining his composure] People are gonna talk behind your back. They're gonna say hurtful things, but I just wanna urge you to remember these days that we've had together. I feel like for the first time I've been able to be the father to you that you deserve, and they've really been the most beautiful days of my life. And I just wanna say I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry and I love you so much. And I hope that one day when this is all over that we'll be able to get back to where we are today. I love you.
