I don't know. We're not there yet, but anything could happen. Change brings change. 我也不知道，还没走到那一步，但一切皆有可能。星星之火可以燎原

You're right. I haven't been a good father, but maybe one day, I-I can be. 你说得对，我不是个好父亲，但也许有一天我能成为称职的父亲

You won't have a sitter, and Trent will be working,  也许哪天你需要保姆，特伦特又得上班

and you'll need someone to take care of Ethan.  你需要找人来照顾伊森

Maybe you'll pick up the phone and call me, and I can--I can take him to eat or a movie. 也许你可以打电话给我，我可以带他出去吃饭看电影
