You know how proud I am of you

for going back to law school?

- I just wish you weren't leaving tonight, Mom.

- Take care of our boy, okay? - I promise.

[cheers and applause]

We've seen him, our son. So what now?

- I don't know.

- We have some concerns about Joe.

Her name's Jenny Banks. She's an attorney.

- Yeah, I know who she is.

What if there's only one right person for each of us?

[dramatic music]

- There's something that I've wanted to tell you about Bobby.

- Carrie Coleman.

We think he was having an affair with her.

We're interested in the payoff she received to leave.

- Bobby was sleeping with his former intern.

I have the proof.

- [exhales heavily]

Good morning.

You okay?

- Can I trust you, Joe?

- Of course you can.

- Just this whole thing with Bobby.

I just...[sighs]

I was so wrong about him.

How do I know I'm right about you?

- I'm not him.

- So how does this work?

- I turn in the evidence and we officially open a case.

- How long?

- It's misappropriation of campaign funds,

so we should be able

to get a search warrant pretty quickly.

- So I'm just supposed to go to work

and pretend like nothing's going on?

- We don't wanna tip him off.

- [sighs] This is insane.

I just...

I hope I'm doing the right thing.

- You are.

A skater girl at my school.

She was at our Halloween party,

- Are there any kisses in this play?

- No, but this is my chance to make my move.

- Over the last ten years, you've allowed me

to proudly represent the 11th District of New York.

It's been one of the highlights of my life.

I was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's

while in the hospital recovering from being shot.

I was told that I might likely never walk again.

Due to shame and ego, I hid this from you all,

from the public.

I originally came here tonight

to announce my resignation from Congress.

But fortunately, I had some friends

who reminded me that we can choose

to live fully or die a little bit every day.

- That's us. He's talking about us.

- I am choosing to live,

and I can do it from this wheelchair.

I'm humbled by the support from my family,

from my friends, and from you all.

I hope to continue to earn that support as we move forward.

And I put disability representation

at the top of my agenda.
