Sheriff Graham: Regina.
Regina Mills: Sheriff Graham what brings you here today? Also who is this standing right next to you?
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: I'm Mrs. Anderson. From the Boston social services agency. From there illegal adoption department.
Regina Mills: Illegal adoption department? What does that have to did with me Mrs. Anderson?
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: It has come to my attention that you adopted a young boy named Henry from the Ortega adoption agency. Isn't that correct Ms. Mills?
Regina Mills: That's correct. Why are you asking on how I adopted Henry and where I adopted Henry as well?
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: Well the reason why I'm mentioning it Ms. Mills is because all of the adoptions that were done through the Ortega adoption agency. They were all done illegally. So my department has been working these past few months. To correct all of the illegal adoptions that they did throughout the years.
Regina Mills: So what are you trying to say
Mrs. Anderson?
Sheriff Graham: What she's trying to say Regina. Is that she is here to take Henry back to his biological mother.
Regina Mills: You have no right to take my son away from me.
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: Actually Ms. Mills I have every right to remove Henry from your custody. Gentlemen if you don't mind. Would you go upstairs and retrieve young Henry please.
Male Social Worker # One: Of course.
Location: The sounds of the male social worker number one walking up the stairs to Henry's room
Regina Mills: You have no right to do this to me. Do you know who I am?
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: I don't care if you're the queen of England. The law states that you have no legal rights to Henry. Also if you did in fact have legal rights to him. They would have been revoked from you anyway.
Regina Mills: What do you mean my parental
rights would have been revoked? Even if Henry's adoption was legal?
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: For one thing Ms. Mills you leave your son at home all by himself for all hours at a time. Sometimes all day for that matter. You also do it to do hook ups at other men's houses.
Regina Mills: He's old enough to be on.
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: You also bring all sorts of different men home to have sex with. While your son is inside the house.
Regina Mills: I don't do it all of the time. Also Henry knows the people who I bring inside the house.
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: Finally you've been sending Henry to unnecessary therapy. Just because he has a bright imagination.
Regina Mills: He's been having delusions. Hence the reason he's going to therapy.
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: I spoke to Henry's therapist and he says that Henry does not need therapy. He's saying that Henry does not need therapy. He's saying that
Henry has a bright imagination. He also says that imaginations should be encouraged and should also be nurtured as well. Not crushed and discouraged as well Ms. Mills.
Regina Mills: Well then Dr. Hopper is stupid then. So are you. Henry does suffer from delusions. It's not an active imagination.
Henry Mills: I don't suffer from delusions. Your just trying to make me like you and I don't want to be like you. I hate you! I hate you!
Regina Mills: Henry.
Henry Mills: I hate you!
Regina Mills: Henry. You did this! You made my son turn against me you bitch!
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: No Ms. Mills. You did that all on your own. Do we have some of Henry's things that we can take with us?
Male Social Worker # One: Yes ma'm. We do have enough of Henry's things that we can take with us.
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: Well then I believe we can take our leave then. Go and make sure young Henry is inside the car. I'll be right out in a minute.

Location: The sounds of the two male social workers walking out the door and heading towards the car that they came in
Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: Ms. Mills.
Regina Mills: Bitch you can't do this to me. Do you know who I am. Graham release me right now! That's an order! You'll pay for this bitch!You will pay!

Mrs. Anderson from Boston Social Services: I can't even imagine Mrs. Swan. If you don't mind Mrs. Swan if you would please sign all of this paperwork here for me. I can release young Henry here into your custody.
