I remember. How do it go?

我记得。谈得如何?

Not very well. She still wants him to go with her. Of course, I want him to stay here. It looks like we'll have to go back to court over it. I don't know what I'm gonna tell Alex. It's terrifying. The judge may ask him to choose.

不太好。她要他和他们走。当然，我要他呆在这儿。看起来我们还得为此事再上法庭。我不知道怎么告诉阿里克斯。真可怕。法官也许会要求他来选择。

How horrible. But... wait a minute... you spend more time with him than his mother does.

真可怕。但是…等一下…你和他在一起的时间比他母亲多。

True, but who knows what the judge will decide. I'm not looking forward to telling Alex about all this.
