Angels in the Outfield
Movie Quote Quiz

George Knox: You're Roger's mom?
Maggie Nelson: Nope.
George Knox: Aunt? Grandma?
Maggie Nelson: No, we're not related. This is a short-term foster care facility, I run it. Roger is a ward of the state.
George Knox: I see. So Roger, he's got a wild imagination? Always coming up with stories?
Maggie Nelson: No actually, he's very grounded. Truth is most kids who are taken away from their parents by the court system, have a good handle on reality.

Hank Murphy: You believe there's real angels?
George Knox: I know it sounds crazy.

JP: Look! It's God's thumbnail.

Roger Bomman: I've got to ask you something. Do you believe in angels?
Maggie Nelson: What have angels got to do with you being out of bed?

Hank Murphy: Are you crackin' up, or is this a repeat of Cincinnati?
George Knox: No, no, it's nothing like that.

Roger Bomman: David, I need a drink.
David Montagne: You have drinks.
Roger Bomman: I don't want this, I want something else.
David Montagne: What else?
Roger Bomman: Uh... coffee.
David Montagne: You drink coffee?
Roger Bomman: Yeah, of course. All the time.
JP: Yeah, all the time! What do you think we are? Little kids or something? Now give me a cup or I'll scream.
David Montagne: How do you take it?
Roger Bomman: In cups.

Roger Bomman: Did you see that?
JP: Yeah! Awesome.
Roger Bomman: They were just sucked down right from the sky.
JP: Who?
Roger Bomman: Those guys. Those guys... in sparkling pajamas.
JP: What are you talking about, Roger? What guys in sparkling pajamas?

JP: You used to be Mel Clark?
Mel Clark: Yeah. I used to be.

Roger Bomman: God... if there is a God... if you're a man or a woman... if you're listening, I'd really, really like a family. My dad says that will only happen if the Angels win the pennant. The baseball team, I mean. So, maybe you can help them win a little. Amen. Oh, a-woman, too.

Ranch Wilder: Bass sets... and sets... and sets again.

George Knox: In baseball we use signals. Make some kind of signal. I can't come over here every couple of seconds.
Roger Bomman: I'll go like that, okay?

George Knox: There's a thing called "talent"! They don't have it.

Family Court Judge: You understand that once this hearing has established Roger's permanent placement status, his welfare will forever forward be determined by this court.
Mr. Bomman: I understand.
Family Court Judge: And you consulted a lawyer?
Mr. Bomman: Look, lady, I get what I'm doing. The kid's not mine anymore. Not proud of it. There isn't anything that could change my mind about it either.

George Knox: Hey, let's keep the profanity down.
Angel players: HUH?
George Knox: I mean it! No swearing.
Ray Mitchell: That eliminates all speech for most of the team.

Ranch Wilder: And Williams and Norton collide, and the catch is blown.
Roger Bomman: Boy, they're bad.

Drunk Fan: Hemmerling for Mitchell? Go back to Cincinnati.

Question: At the end of the movie George Knox adopts PJ, and Roger. Wouldn't George have had to meet with a social worker before adopting them?

Answer: Maybe he did offscreen?

dizzyd

I meant that as a yes or no question.

Then that answers the question. We also don't know WHEN he did it, so it's entirely possible that he visited with one. We also don't find out that he adopted both Roger and JP because it was supposed to be a surprise, meaning that we wouldn't find out until that moment.

It feels like the question was about the legal steps needed to take, not did he do them or not. Does an individual in his situation need to visit a social worker?
