How about the promises we make to our kids? About <u>their</u> future. Do we shrug those off, just that easily? |
Where you goin'? |
I'm gonna get me a drink. |
How do you hold down a job? It's 8:10. You were supposed to be here at 7:00. She's missed her sunrise Groom'n Ride. |
This is Friday, her riding lesson is on Tuesdays. I got it right here... |
Every Tuesday except the 3rd Tuesday of the month when it's switched to Friday except in April when she rides on Thursday. It's not that hard. Didn't you have a mother? |
Can I please have a cup of coffee? |
We don't have any coffee. |
What is this? The Betty Ford Center? |
Annabelle, how's your video rep... |
What happened with Annabelle? Has nothing I said gotten through to you? |
Maybe you could back off just a little bit |
What did you do? |
Nothing. Look, I want to talk to you about...well...Luke said to ask you... |
She's been talking about this little editing machine, it's only... |
...a ridiculously <u>expensive</u> and <u>inappropriate</u> item, which her father and I have already <u>told</u> her she is <u>far</u> too young to own. But <u>you</u> apparently want to <u>buy</u> her forgiveness, with... |
<u>Forgiveness?</u> For <u>what</u>, exactly? |
Luke was in the shower this morning and Annabelle sort of walked in without knocking. |
I'm sure that didn't upset her. Everyone in our family takes showers. |
I was in there in him. |
Did you or Luke talk to her about it afterwards? |
No. I thought it might be uncomfortable for her |
You mean for you. A 10yearold girl is coping with the fact that her father is never coming back to live with his family. She sees her father naked with another woman for the first time. And you think it's best for her if every one pretends it didn't happen? This isn't going to work out. |
You're damn right. I'm gonna sick of your imperious bullshit. I never said I was Betty Fucking Crocker. If every time life hits her in the face you want to have a 12 hour talk every third Friday or the month go ahead! I have a life! |
Oh and I don't because I have a children?! The problem is you're too selfinvolved to ever be a mother. |
Maybe the problem is your <u>kids</u>. Maybe they're spoiled, coddled <u>brats</u>! |
Get out! |
But it's not on the schedule! |
You got to hell! |
Machines do not EAT message. |
Look, I... |
Of all the <u>cheap</u> excuses. To break a child's heart. |
Yeh? |
Think twice. Before you <u>ever</u> pull that again. |
Annabelle doesn't really want to talk to you right now. |
I'm sorry I didn't mean to break your concentration. I thought it would be a nice moment to rememb... |
Jackie, if I thought for one moment... |
You listen carefully because I am only going to say this once. That woman has nothing more to do with my children. |
I am not <u>here</u> to make it easier for you. These are <u>my</u> children. They don't want to <u>be</u> with you. |
Well, maybe they would if they thought it was okay, with y... |
A court <u>order</u> is gonna say that <u>woman</u> is <u>never</u> <u>alone</u> with my children! Ever <u>again</u>! Do you HEAR that? |
...in. |
I'm sorry. Look, I'm not real comfortable being here, but... |
I don't recall inviting you. |
I have a snoop. |
I didn't need you to take the blame for me, I'm quite... |
I didn't do it for you. Believe me. |
She already hates me. You've seen to that. |
You're not terribly good at taking care of h... |
I need practice. |
Those are <u>my</u> children you're practicing on. They deserve <u>first</u> rate care. Every minute. Of every night. And every day. |
So why did y... |
I did it for her. |
I have an appointment this after noon. I need someone to take them to the park. |
What? And have Federal agents jump out of the bushes with court orders? How many years do you get in this state for giving secondrate care to minors? |
However many. It's not enough. |
I'm already on thin ice. Yesterday, I actually thought my boss was going to fire me. |
Fine, forget it. |
Bandaids for cuts. Bandaids for new shoe blisters. Packet of Wash n Dri's. Kleenex. Sugar free lollipops, potty seat covers for public restrooms... |
Why not just bring the whole toilet? |
Ben likes to be read to. Do you know Dr. Seuss...? |
Not personally. |
Do you have a word limit you need to hit every day or can I finish? |
Sorry I'm late, I got lost dropping Ben off at Kevin's. |
It's okay, it's twenty minutes. The horse'll be there. |
I'm sorry, I just... |
Hey. At least it's not an editing machine. |
No way. I told her two, three years, maybe, for such an expens... |
What about obsessively picking her split ends? |
Anxiety. |
Last week when she chopped her Barbie's bangs all to hell |
She was angry at herself. |
Jackie? |
Yes? |
When I twisted hair like this it means I'm intimidated by you... |
You feeling all right? |
Not great. Plus, I've got things on my mind. You know. |
...thinking of going back to Random House. On a parttime basis. |
Wowie. How wonderful! |
...make some trips into the city. Sometimes, overnight. |
Hey, any help you need, we'll cover. |
Uh. Have you told Luke and the ki... |
Let's...hold up for a bit. It may not happen. Our secret, okay? |
I don't know wh... |
I was looking for Annabelle's book, and I found your tickets. And the note. From your new boss. |
My boss. |
You're not working at Random House, I talked to them. |
You WHAT? |
You're taking the kids. And moving to San Francisco. |
Look, you've never liked me... |
Don't flatter yourself. |
And I know checking into your life was inexcusable... |
Nobody likes a snoop. |
But I came here to... |
Bicoastal parenting. Happens every day. Luke gets the kids every other summer, every other holiday, it's not ideal, but people make it work, and... |
We can't live like that. |
Did I hear the word... |
Luke. Can't live like that. |
Then let him talks to me. We don't need you to solve our prob... |
...it's my problem, too. |
