1. Dad, pause the jumbotron—you're on the screen holding a sign.
2. What sign, I can't see the screen from here.
3. It says 'Welcome home, Jamie' and everyone's cheering.
4. Jamie who? That doesn't make sense.
5. I found adoption papers in the attic; check what I sent.
6. You opened them? Why would you go through that stuff?
7. Your signature's on the consent and my birth name's Jamie.
8. Alex, please don't react while the match is loud.
9. This can't wait, Dad; why didn't you tell me?
10. That sign on the jumbotron isn't what you think.
11. It literally has my name, Dad—my old name.
12. I promised someone I'd welcome Jamie home years ago.
13. Who did you promise, and why lie about everything?
14. Your mother begged me to hide the truth to protect you.
