jerry's father says goodbye

the agreement is written out for jerry's father

jerry's cousin explains the agreement to hippolito

a second copy is made

jerry's older sister signs the agreement

goodbye to papa

in the taxi

jerry settles in to spiderman

goodbye to older sister babylyn

jerry's first ride on the aeorplane
