And 17 cents less than 20.
Dr. Blake, what would you say kept you going...
the 12 years you were in medical school?
Caffeine and doughnuts...
and my mother's belief in me.
I wish I had a mother like that.
She must have been smart.
She had great instincts.
Do you happen to know what her l.Q. was?
In the lower ranges. About 70.
So your mother...
this woman who had the mind of a 9-year-old...
had the wisdom to recognize you would be a great doctor.
Yes. I can't say it was always easy...
but she taught me the things they can't teach.
Patience and compassion.
Traits most doctors have in spades.
Mr. Dawson.
You've become a wonderful girl...
and we're proud of you.
Lucy will be, too. She'll be wonderful.
He's very enthusiastic. Thank you, Doctor.
No further questions. Come on, come on.
How'd you get through medical school? Where'd you live?
We lived with my mother's parents.
-Grandma and Grandpa. -Yes.
Would it be fair to say that Grandma and Grandpa...
were of normal intelligence?
And so, would it be fair to say...
that Grandma and Grandpa of normal intelligence...
had the real responsibilities?
Objection. Mr. Turner's mother-in-law lives with him.
Motion to strike. Irrelevant, immaterial, and immature.
I warn you, Ms. Harrison...
stick to the relevant issues of the case.
Your Honor, the relevancy is that every parent...
has a right to a support system.
I'm not talking about the rights of the parents.
I'm talking about the rights of the child.
Please let the record show--
Excuse me. Your Honor...
I'm talking about entrusting an 8-year-old's welfare...
in the hands of someone whose record shows...
has been diagnosed with autistic tendencies...
mental retardation--
Objection. Move to strike that from the record.
It is clear that one's intellectual capacity...
has no bearing on their ability to love.
Your Honor, would you please instruct counsel...
to proceed with a modicum of sensitivity?
I'm very sensitive...
especially when I see someone like you...
walk in here and try to give meaning to your life...
by screwing up somebody else's.
That's enough. Ms. Harrison, approach the bench.
My mother raised me--
Tearing apart a family is truly noble work, Mr. Turner.
That's enough.
This is an award for you at some luncheon...
but I'm here every day.
You win, you're out the door.
You know who I see come back? The child.
Only this time, it's too late.
So am I sensitive? Yeah, I'm a little sensitive.
You can't even touch that area.
Your Honor, please let the record show...
my mother raised me.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
His name is my name, too
Whenever we go out, the people always shout
They say, "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt"
Excuse me. Time is up.
Please, just a little more.
No. I have another case at 2:30.
I need to go to the bathroom.
Daddy!
She said we could go to the park.
What happened? What made her change her mind?
I started crying in the bathroom...
so she thought we needed more time.
There's the park.
Let's not get off. Let's keep going.
No, Lucy, that would be wrong.
Tamara's mommy lost her case...
and she hasn't seen her in six years.
She had five different mommies, and one of them hit her.
I would never let that happen to you.
That's what her real mommy said...
and now they won't even let her talk to her.
Daddy.
It's the only way to be together.
We'll start a new life...
get new names, live in a new apartment...
and they'll never find us.
That's Rita. Hi!
It's 3:00 in the morning. Hi!
What were you thinking?
What were you possibly thinking?
I wanted to be with Lucy.
That's ridiculous!
Willy, stay here with me.
What could you possibly gain by kidnapping your kid...
in the middle of a custody hearing?
-Lucy told me-- -I don't want to hear it!
Can you possibly explain this to me?
-Who is the goddamn parent? -Me.
Willy, stay in the hallway.
I am deeply disturbed by this.
Lucy, I would have expected more from you.
I can imagine what you're thinking...
but I ask you this--
What parent in their right mind...
seeing their child's pain, their yearning for contact...
wouldn't take them in an effort to comfort them?
You need to understand...
something very important about the father--
Yes, and if I were you...
I'd look at my conscience long and hard...
before I tried to use this in court.
Is that a threat?
No! It's...a plea.
Give him a break.
Just give him one goddamn break.
Lucy, say your good-byes. It's time to go.
Willy, it's time to go home.
Goddamn it, Willy!
Please don't fire us.
It was all my idea.
Please don't.
Please.
Raise your right hand.
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth...
and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
So help me God.
I heard you turned seven this year.
That's pretty exciting.
Everybody gets older. It's not that big a deal.
What'd you get for your birthday?
I haven't opened my presents yet.
Really? That's odd. Why?
Actually, I opened my presents.
I got the "Help" album, limited edition.
I'm sorry. I'm very confused.
I thought you didn't open your presents...
because you ran away from your own party...
because your best friend told everyone...
that you said you were adopted.
I never said that. Why would I say that?
Why would your friend say that?
Kids lie all the time.
-Remember you're under oath. -I know.
-And you know what that means? -I do.
Now that we have all agreed to tell the truth...
where were you sleeping last night?
In my bed at the foster home.
If you're not going to tell the truth, I am.
Your dad kidnapped you last night.
-Objection. Kidnapped? -Sustained.
Young lady, you have to tell the truth.
You're lying because you're afraid.
Objection. He's putting words in her mouth.
Sustained.
Please limit yourself to questions, Mr. Turner.
You have to tell the truth.
Lucy, are you afraid to tell the truth...
because you'll hurt your Daddy's feelings?
Daddy's right here. You can tell the truth.
Isn't it true that very deep down inside...
you know you need much more than your daddy can give you?
All you need is love.
Where did she go?
Please, God.
These responsibilities include...
busing tables, replenishing the Sweet 'n Lows...
sweeping up the place?
Yes.
Aren't these Mr. Dawson's only responsibilities?
Because he doesn't have the mental capacity...
to run a cash register or even make a cup of coffee.
As a matter of fact...
Sam and I were discussing a promotion...
we were going to put into effect next week.
Hooray for me! Thank you, George.
That's very nice.
After eight years, Sam can make a cup of coffee...
and he can certainly help Lucy with her geometry.
Objection.
And when I ask another question...
-I answer in one sentence. -Short and sweet.
Yes. One sentence. Short and sweet.
Tim Curry was a sweet transvestite...
in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Let's try one word.
Annie!
You're here! You're here!
Susan Sarandon is also one of my favorite actresses.
Besides being Lucy's godmother...
aren't you also her piano teacher?
Yes.
Annie plays the piano beautifully.
You really do, Annie.
Sam, it's Annie's turn now.
And didn't you graduate magna cum laude...
from the Juillard School of Music?
Summa cum laude.
Excuse me.
Ms. Cassell, in all the time you've known them...
have you ever questioned Sam's ability as a father?
-Never. -Never?
Look at Lucy. She's strong.
She displays true empathy for people...
all kinds of people.
I know that you all think...
she's as smart as she is despite him...
but it's because of him.
So, what you're saying is...
you don't worry about Lucy's future.
No. I do.
I...
I worry all the time.
If they take Lucy away from her father...
they will take away an enormous piece of her...
and I worry that she will spend the rest of her life...
trying to fill that hole.
Thank you, Ms. Cassell.
No further questions.
Thank you for coming here today, Annie.
You're welcome, Sam.
Can Sam add?
Yes.
What about multiplication?
He's learning.
What does that mean? He can't multiply two times two?
I don't know about you, Mr. Turner...
but my memories of my parents...
have nothing to do with the times table...
or with state capitals.
A truck ran into the state capital building...
and it went on fire on television.
I saw that on the news with the reporter with the toupee...
and Mr. Turner lost his toupee.
Thank you, Mr. Wali.
I bet he's knocking on your door...
asking questions all the time.
Yes. All the time.
Let's see. The last question...
was whether to use Biz or Clorox...
to get the grass stains out of Lucy's soccer uniform.
Eventually, Lucy will go through puberty.
How much insight or know-how...
will he bring to those sensitive subjects...
of a young girl's development?
I can only imagine how much...
insight and sensitivity you yourself would bring...
to that delicate area, Mr. Turner...
or any father, for that matter.
And you've had plenty of opportunity...
to observe fathers, haven't you?
Objection.
The fact that Ms. Cassell hasn't left her room in...
I don't know how many years...
must have some effect on her perception.
I'll allow it. Please answer the question.
I have had 28 years in the real world...
and...
I have been able to observe all kinds of fathers.
What about your father?
Ms. Cassell...
since you seem to be such an expert...
on father-daughter relationships.
I'm sorry, Ms. Cassell. I need to hear your response.
What about your father?
Objection to that.
Excuse me, Mr. Dawson. Please.
-Overruled. -That's overruled.
Mr. Dawson, please sit down.
Overruled.
Mr. Dawson, sit down!
Annie's father was a meanie.
Sam has his big day on the stand tomorrow...
and we need to do a little bit of work...
so he's as effective as you were.
I want to be as effective as you were, Annie.
On the Porsche, the door handle...
is a little hidden by that thingamajig.
So, if you're having trouble finding it--
No!
I think maybe Annie's not exactly ready to go yet.
We'll just take our time.
-Home. -Dialing office.
Home, god damn it!
I'm ready now.
Good. Fine.
Sam, Annie's ready.
Wow!
Let's work in the den. It's down here.
Hey, Willy. Where's your dad?
Guess.
I don't want to guess. Where is he?
Where was he last night?
Working. Late.
There. You guessed it.
Did he say who was supposed to take care of you?
You. But you said you were working late, too.
I am working late.
How was your day?
You have to work. Go work.
How was your--
Hello? Where are you?
I've been waiting here an hour.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
You were on line two.
You don't sound like you're on the freeway.
Danger, Will Robinson. Danger.
There you are.
You gonna come see the movie? It's the best part.
It's getting late. We better get to work.
It's time to get ready for bed.
Willy, it's time for bed.
Our strategy is...
we're aggressively pursuing a support system.
I'm going to ask you...
"How are you prepared to help Lucy at school?"
Let me see. Let me see.
Sam, I told you, you have to stop saying that.
It makes you look stupid.
OK, try again.
You say you will find her a tutor.
Then I say, "How will you pay for it?"
Could you slow down?
Why do you eat so fast?
We have been over this a million times.
Yeah.
You found her a free tutoring service at the YWCA.
But I didn't. You did.
Can you grasp the concept of...
manipulating the truth?
Not lying.
Just a little tweak here and there.
No.
You're so lucky.
You get to play with Willy any time you want.
He doesn't want to play with me.
Yes, he does.
Yes, he does. He does.
He thinks you don't want to play, maybe.
That's ridiculous. Of course I do.
Tweak.
I drove around after work yesterday till 9:30...
Iooking for that frigging Raptor scooter!
So, what made you harass that young boy at your house?
I didn't harass that boy, and you know it, Rita.
I'm pretending to be Mr. Turner. Remember?
If I look at you, I'm gonna laugh again.
OK, Mr. Turner.
I'm Mr. Turner. All right?
Isn't Lucy already smarter than you?
You buried yourself. You've got to do better.
I kind of think we're the same smart.
What does that mean?
I know the bus routes better than she does.
How does that make you the same smart?
Doesn't every parent want their kid to be smart?
That's true, but the issue here is that...
at the age of seven, Lucy is smarter than you.
But in some ways, I'm smarter than she is.
You got to be firm on this.
In some ways, she's--
In some ways, I'm smarter than her.
In some ways, I'm smarter than you, Mr. Turner.
In some ways, I'm smarter than you, Judge McNeilly.
Whoa. Take it down.
Want some marshmallows?
This is my husband's. He'll never notice.
He has ten more just like it.
Try it on.
Will you look that way?
In there.
I wasn't exactly sure how to tie this.
Does it look bad?
No. Very, very good.
Cross over once.
And loop this around...
and up inside of the neck.
And then pull up on the skinny part.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Today's your big day, buddy. Making coffee.
-You ready? -Thank you, George.
What time you got to be in court?
I have to be on the stand at 2:00.
Two venti Caramel Macchiatos. That's a wonderful choice.
Two cappuccinos and a Hazelnut Frappuccino.
Two Orange Mocha Chip Frappucinos.
Two Caramel Frappucinos and a--
I'm sorry. Can you tell me that one more time?
Everybody's very thirsty today.
Oh, boy.
I'm going as fast as I can. That's the only thing.
But I don't have all day.
No, just another couple of minutes.
Not all day.
You know what? Fine. Forget it. Thank you.
Sam, I need that tall decaf vanilla drip right away.
A vanilla drip. Sorry.
Sorry.
I really have to hurry, though.
Is that enough? Oh, shoot.
Maybe you want something else.
Sam, I need a grande soy latte...
but don't put any whipped cream or foam on it.
I'm just trying to go really fast.
-Oh, no! -Sam, you'll be late.
Your Honor, I'm sure he'll be here any moment.
This is an extremely important day to Mr. Dawson.
I'm here!
Sorry.
Your Honor, may I have a moment to confer with my client?
Make it brief, Ms. Harrison.
What the hell happened to you?
-I'm late. -What's that smell? Mint?
No, no. The blender exploded.
Look at me.
Slow down, because Lucy needs you.
Yeah, Lucy needs me.
We need you, Ms. Harrison.
I go in there now, because it's my turn.
Go sit.
How will you be able to pay for private tutoring?
There's a free program at the YWCA...
and Lucy can go to that program.
Don't you ever think it would be better for Lucy...
if she lived with a permanent foster family...
and you could visit whenever you wanted?
No, I don't think that's a very good idea, see.
Because the Fosters, they don't know Lucy.
And I know Lucy because I'm her father.
So, I think if they want to see her...
then the Fosters can come over to our house to visit her.
And I'm very firm on this.
I'm very firm on this idea, because Lucy belongs with me.
Why?
Remember when Paul McCartney wrote the song "Michelle"...
and then he only wrote the first part, Annie said.
And then he gave that part to John Lennon...
and he wrote the part that said...
"I love you, I love you, I love you."
Annie said that it wouldn't have been...
the same song without that...
and that's why the whole world cried...
when the Beatles broke up on April 10, 1970.
No further questions.
So, your parents put you in an institution.
My mother got sick, see...
so I had to go in an institution...
when my mother got sick.
What about your father? Where was he?
He was gone when I was born.
He went away when I was born.
So the people at the institution were your parents.
Were they nice to you?
Some, yes. Some, no.
Did they hit you?
Sometimes they did hit me. Yeah.
Like you hit Lucy's friend at her birthday party?
Objection. Mistakes the facts and evidence.
Nobody hit anybody.
I'll rephrase that. Strong-armed.
So, who do you look up to?
Who do you want to be like...
as a father when parenting Lucy?
The head of the institution? The principal? The warden?
Not Mr. Whitehead. Not him.
Then who?
Who?
Myself.
I look up to myself as a father.
Mr. Dawson, you have the capacity of a 7-year-old.
What makes you think you have the ability to be a father?
Your background, your IQ...
your friends who can't even testify--
Objection. Compound questions.
-Objection! -Sustained.
They love Lucy, see.
Even if Rita didn't think they were smart enough...
to testify, they love Lucy.
Yeah. I love Lucy.
Even if Rita thought you'd wipe the floor with them.
Mr. Dawson, your lawyer just objected.
You didn't have to answer that question.
You can't even follow simple rules...
you've been observing day after day.
-Objection. Your Honor-- -Overruled.
What makes you think you can raise a 7-year-old?
A 10-year-old? A 13-year-old?
You know what that means?
She'll be six years more advanced than you.
What makes you think you can do that?
I...
have had a lot of time, see, to...
think about what it is...
that makes somebody a good parent...
and it's about constancy...
and it's about...
patience, and it's about listening...
and it's about pretending to listen...
even when you can't listen anymore.
And it's about love, like she said.
See, Billy has a home with me...
and I made it the best I could.
And it's not perfect...
and I'm not a perfect parent...
and sometimes I don't have enough patience...
and I forget he's just a little kid...
but we built a life together...
and we love each other.
And if you destroy that...
it'll be irre--irrep--
Let me see. Let me see.
-Irreparable. -Yep!
Yes. Yes.
Joanne, don't do that, please.
Don't do it twice. Not to him.
Meryl Streep can't even look at Dustin Hoffman after that.
"Kramer vs. Kramer."
Thank you, Mr. Wali, for that commentary.
Your Honor, my client is understandably upset.
Motion to recess.
I don't exactly like recess very much.
Motion denied.
Continue with your witness, Mr. Turner.
Mr. Dawson...it's hard.
I know it's hard to know what to say to Lucy half the time.
Right? ls it?
No.
No? Was that a no?
No what?
Let me see.
I don't know exactly.
I'm sorry, Mr. Dawson. You don't know what?
I don't...yeah.
OK. Yeah.
Yes? Yes, you don't know.
Right? You don't know...
what it takes to raise your daughter.
Objection.
These are not questions. This is an attack.
Overruled.
I'm Lucy's father.
-I'm her father. -Are you really?
I'm not talking about the fact...
that you got some homeless woman pregnant.
Objection, Your Honor!
Get to the question, Mr. Turner.
The question is, if you love your daughter...
as much as you say you do--
and I know that you do--
don't you think she deserves more?
Don't you in your heart of hearts...
secretly question yourself every day?
Objection. Compound questions.
OK, yeah!
I'm sorry. Was that a yes?
I think Lucy deserves everything.
In my heart of hearts, I think she deserves everything.
Yes, she does.
-Yeah, OK. -Yes, she does.
And you agree with everyone here...
that you can't give her that.
Maybe everybody's right, see.
Maybe everybody's right about that, see.
So no more now, OK?
No more now. No more.
I want to stop right now!
This is the end of this for me.
Your teacher told me you're a wonderful artist.
So I was thinking maybe--
Daddy's coming today.
We're going to open my birthday presents.
You must be so excited.
Why don't you just go and do something?
Sam, it's me. Open up.
I don't have time for this.
You were supposed to show up to your first evaluation...
and I leave work early to be there...
and where the hell are you? Open the door!
Sam, open the goddamn door.
If you don't care enough to open the door, I'm out of here.
I've ruined my practice. I've alienated my colleagues.
I sent my kid off on a fishing trip with his father...
so that I could work with you...
and you won't open the goddamn door for me!
Fine! That's it! I've had it!
Sam, can I come in?
Not really room here.
There's no room here.
Yeah, well, I lived in the East Village.
I don't need a lot of room.
Because I make things--
everything is too hard on everybody.
I make everything hard on everybody.
I can go...
at least another nine rounds.
But you gotta let me in.
Please. Sam.
There you are.
Now I can see those kind eyes.
So, George says that you needed a break from work.
I don't really want to work there anymore...
because there's too many people.
Then maybe we can find you a quieter job, because--
Remember that was one of the judge's conditions...
that you earn more money.
You have to keep earning more money...
so that you can get a new apartment...
and Lucy can have her own room...
for when you get her back.
Yeah, except that Lucy doesn't need me anymore.
She has a new family now...
and she doesn't need me anymore.
Is that what she said?
It's because I know that.
Because I just know that.
Well.
That's the first stupid thing I've ever heard you say.
Sam, you can get Lucy back.
The court favors reunification.
But, Sam, you have to fight for her.
Yeah, but I tried! I tried hard!
-Try harder! -Yeah, but you don't know!
I don't know what?
You don't know what it's like when you try...
and you try and you try and you don't ever get there!
Because you were born perfect, and I was born like this!
And you're perfect!
Is that right?
-People like you don't know. -People like me?
You don't know what it's like to get hurted...
because you don't have feelings.
People like you don't feel anything.
You think you got the market cornered on human suffering?
Let me tell you something about people like me.
People like me feel lost and little and ugly...
and dispensable.
People like me have husbands...
screwing someone else far more perfect than me.
People like me have sons who hate them.
And I've screamed horrible things to him...
a seven-year-old, because he doesn't want...
to get in the car at the end of the day.
And then he looks at me with such anger...
and I hate him then.
I know I'm failing you. I know I'm disappointing you.
I know you deserve better, but get in the fucking car!
Every morning, I wake up and I fail.
And I look around, and everybody seems to be pulling it off...
but somehow I can't...
no matter how hard I try.
Somehow...l'll never be enough.
You're enough.
Yeah, you're much more than enough.
Lovely Rita.
Get off the grass, Dino.
OK, come on.
Be careful, because you're gonna get hurt.
Guys, be careful of the pictures.
Be careful of the pretty pictures.
Sam, you're early.
All the lights were green.
When I was walking here, all the lights were green.
There's a reason for the court schedule.
You stopped showing up.
Lucy's had to rebuild her whole life, Sam.
I want her back. I know I can get her back.
That's not up to me.
But I'm just gonna tell you...
I'm gonna do everything in my power...
to protect that little girl from getting hurt again.
Whose dogs are these?
These are supplemental income.
Because I wash and I walk and I feed the dogs.
Sam Dawson has everything for your canine needs.
Let me go get your daughter.
Everybody behave like a gentleman...
because Lucy's gonna come out here...
and first impressions are very important.
You never even came!
You never called!
You forgot about me! How could you forget me?
No, I didn't forget you! I would never forget you!
I hate you!
Will you not be mad at me for one second?
Because I want to tell you one thing, OK?
Because last night, I was writing you a letter...
and then the words, they got too big.
Gesundheit, Floppy. Floppy has a cold.
And then I said...
"Dear Lucy, I'm sorry I maybe hurt your feelings...
"and I was thinking about you all the time.
"Lucy on a hammock...
"and Lucy at school...
"and Lucy in the sky and kisses and hugs, Daddy.
"And P.S. I love you, like the song.
"P.S. I love you, like in the song."
Hello, Mr. Dawson.
Yeah. Hello, lawyer.
Shall we?
And in these next months...
Mr. Dawson will be expanding his support system...
to include regional service programs, tutors, and--
I think it's very important that you know...
that the foster family is pushing forward toward adoption.
The Department of Child and Family Services and l...
fully support their request.
Darn it.
Sam, there's one option we've never talked about.
I know what you went through...
the last time you took the stand.
I didn't like that at all.
We could give the foster parents guardianship...
and then we could try...
for the most incredible visitation rights...
and it would almost seem like joint custody.
You're saying I don't have a chance.
That's what you're saying.
No. I'm not saying you don't have a chance.
That's what you said last time and now look where he is.
But she's not saying that I don't have a chance.
So tell me that I have a chance.
Oh, my God. Sam, you guys...
it's video night at my house, and I'm not even there.
-Check. -Sam, get your dessert to go.
Because, OK.
Wait. This is really hard to say.
For me, this is a very hard thing to say...
but I'm gonna stay and have my dessert here with Rita...
and I'm not gonna go to video night tonight.
What?
Gee, that figures. I knew that was coming.
Sam, you can go if you--
-I said no, Rita. -But if you want to go--
Do you want me to go?
No, I don't want you to go, but you can go if you want.
-Fine. -Fine.
Good-bye, Rita.
If you want to come to video night, you're welcome to.
Thank you, Joe.
Bye, Joe.
Because you're eating slower. That's good.
Because it's good to chew.
Buttermilk pancakes.
OK. Let me see.
OK, sidebar.
Because you-- you need to leave your husband.
And I need to get Lucy back.
We need--
When dealing with the customer, always be friendly...
and not familiar.
Because I can be your friend.
Thank you.
But you still need to leave your husband.
My marriage isn't so bad.
It's just that...
it's just...
I've never lost at anything.
-Daddy? -Hi.
What are you doing here?
I live here.
What do you mean you live here?
Actually, I live here.
This is where you live?
So close to me?
Yeah, because I wanted to be close.
I wanted to be closer to you...
so I live here in that apartment.
It's number nine.
And number nine is like October 9...
when John Lennon was born...
and his son was born on October 9, too.
John met Yoko on November 9.
Yeah, and his mother lived...
at number nine Newcastle in Liverpool.
Newcastle, nine letters. Liverpool, nine letters.
Maybe I can talk to Daddy for a minute?
Come over here, Dino.
You're a Girl Scout now!
Is that OK?
Yeah, that's really good.
Look at my pins.
-It looks very good on you. -Thank you.
You'll be a very good Girl Scout.
Sam, we need to talk.
What are you doing?
Trying to get closer to her by moving closer?
We're supposed to give her consistency.
We've got a week till we go to court.
Because every time I came down to see her on a bus...
I was always every time wasting time on a bus.
I really do understand.
But we have to make it about her and what's best for her.
Yeah, what's best for her is what's most important.
-Right. -Yeah.
Does Floppy still have his cold?
Yeah, but Floppy's getting much better.
That's good.
Can I buy some cookies from you?
That'll be 3.25.
We can get it from you later.
We really should get going.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
Can I hug her bye-bye?
Of course you can hug her.
Good-bye.
Really very good to see you.
Daddy!
Did you know that Warren G. Harding...
was the 29th president of the United States?
Remember, the 29th president...
in case the judge asks.
What are you doing out here?
I missed you.
You could get really hurted.
And it's really cold...
and you don't have enough on to keep you warm.
What--?
She couldn't sleep, so she came to my house.
Give me my daughter. Give us Lucy. Come here.
Easy, Sam. Thank you.
Sometimes if you rub her belly...
and then if you tell her two stories...
and give her half an IHOP corn muffin...
then sometimes she sleeps.
When she can't sleep.
We'll be fine, Sam. Good night.
You can go home now.
Yeah, a personal pepperoni pan pizza.
That's a wonderful choice.
Daddy?
Lucy, come here.
Hi, sweetie.
I made us a midnight snack.
Half an IHOP corn cake.
I understand that you want to see your daddy.
And I really don't want to keep you from him.
I really honestly don't.
I want you to know that.
So whenever you want to see him, you just tell me.
Any time you want to see him is fine...
but we kind of need to work it out first.
So how about a snack?
Thank you.
Good night.
Everybody behave yourself.
Oh, how wonderful. You brought Willy.
-Hi, Willy. -Hi, Sam.
It's good to see you.
We have to close the door because the dogs go out.
My husband left this when he moved out.
Lovely Rita.
OK, let me see.
They're going to put Randy on the stand tomorrow first...
and then you.
They're a very nice couple.
And she's pretty, and they have a nice house...
and she's smart, too.
Sam, I worry. I worry sometimes.
Do you worry that you did something wrong?
I worry that I've gotten...
more out of this relationship than you.
I have the lawyer that never loses.
That's me.
And the manager at the Pizza Hut's gonna testify...
and that's good.
Absolutely.
And Annie said that George thinks--
that George Harrison couldn't--
maybe, he couldn't write a song...
but then he wrote "Here Comes the Sun"...
and she said that it was one of the best songs on "Abbey Road."
George was always my favorite Beatle.
She's OK. Sorry.
She fell asleep in the car.
I was gonna turn back and tuck her in...in her room.
You know, that l-- in her room that I made for her.
Because I tried to make a really nice room for her.
But I was afraid she'd wake up at our house...
and want to come home.
That's a girl.
I have to apologize to you...
because I was gonna tell that judge...
that I could give Lucy the kind of love she never had.
But I can't say that, because I'd be lying.
I hope...
I hope you're saying what I think you're saying.
I am.
Bye.
I'll see you in court tomorrow.
Save me a seat, Sam.
On your side. OK?
Yeah. I'll save you a seat on my side.
-Bye. -Bye.
Randy?
If I tell you a secret...
that I can't do it by myself...
will you tell the judge on me?
No, Sam.
Promise?
I promise.
Because I always wanted Lucy to have a mother.
I always wanted her to have a mother.
Help. I need somebody.
Help. Not just anyone.
And you're the red in her painting.
Because I think you're the red in her painting.
Thank you, Sam.
Play ball!
Get it, Lucy!
Go, Lucy!
Lucy got a goal!
Lucy got a goal, Rita!
