Your Honor, I'm sure he'll be here any moment. This is an extremely important day to Mr. Dawson. Here! Sorry. Your Honor, may I have a moment to confer with my client? Make it brief, Miss Harrison. What happened to you? Mike, I'm late. What's that smell? Yeah. Mint? No, no, I had that blender explode. Look at me, look at me. Yeah. Slow down. Okay, yeah. Because Lucy needs you. Yeah, Lucy needs me. We need you, Miss Harrison. Okay, I'm going there now because it's my turn. Go. Yeah. How will you be able to pay for private tutoring? Yeah, 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 that's a very good idea, see. Because the fosters, they don't know Lucy. And I know Lucy because I'm her father, okay? 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? We built a life together and we love each other. And if you destroy that, it'll be irrep... What am I saying? Irreparable. Yeah. Yeah, yes. Joanne, don't do that, please. Don't do it twice. Not to him. Yes. And then Meryl Streep can't even look at Dustin Hoffman after that. Kramer versus Kramer. Yeah. Yes, thank you, Mr. Wiley, for that commentary. Your Honor, my client is understandably upset. Motion to recess. Yeah, 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... Oh, yeah. To know what to say to Lucy half the time. Right? Is it? No. No? Is that a no? Yeah. No what? Let's see. Um, I don't know exactly, okay? I'm sorry, Mr. Dawson, you don't know what? I don't... Yeah. Yeah? Okay, yeah. Yes, yes, you don't know, right? You don't know what it takes to raise your daughter, do you? Objection. These are not questions. This is an attack. Overruled. I'm Lucy's father. But are you? See, I'm her father. Are you really? I'm not talking about the fact that you got some homeless woman pregnant. I'm not talking... Objection, Your Honor. Get to the question, Mr. Turner. Yeah. The question is, if... 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? Don't you? Objection. Compound questions. Okay, yeah. Was that a yes? Yeah, I think Lucy deserves everything, see? Yeah, in my heart of hearts, I think she deserves everything. Yes, she does. Yeah, okay. Yes, she does. And you agree with everyone here that you can't give her that? Yeah, okay, yeah. You can't give her that? Yeah, maybe everybody's right, see? Yeah, maybe everybody's right about that, see? Okay, so no more now, okay? No more now, okay? No more, no more, no more now, okay? I want to stop right now, okay? I want to stop right now. This is the end of this for me, okay?
