That's not wh... |
You think <u>I</u> didn't have some dirty words for that little putz? You think <u>I</u> couldn't figure out some low blows? |
You weren't passing 'em out. |
Well, maybe <u>your</u> version of growing up is 'Just win, baby'. |
See, in that crisis, I saw an opportunity. For some <u>real</u> growth. |
Oh please. |
Shut the fuck up. <u>I</u> didn't go behind <u>your</u> back. |
Doing the <u>right</u> thing. Knowing who you <u>are</u>, inside. Not <u>caving</u> to peer pressure, or <u>lowering</u> yourself to that level, <u>steering</u> your <u>own</u> course... |
She wasn't steering her own course, she was steering <u>yours</u>. |
Well, that's what parenting is <u>about</u>, little girl. They are <u>pleading</u> to know how they are supposed to do it. And you sure as hell <u>showed</u> her. |
And there will come <u>another</u> moment. When the stakes are <u>really</u> there. And she will look back on this. And remember how good it felt. How easy it was. |
And she'll fight back again. God help me, what have I done. |
You've turned her into you. And I may not get another chance. To turn her back. |
<u>That's</u> what it is. And that's <u>all</u> it is. |
Thanks for coming out. |
Neutral ground. What's up? |
She likes a Stolie, no ice. |
Double. |
What's this about? Because we <u>fought</u>? |
Don't flatter yourself. I always liked that line. |
I love Luke, I love the children. But there is more to life than even love... |
No, there isn't. |
And I have looked down the road. At what my life will be. And I can't handle it. |
I never wanted to be a mom. Then, sharing it with you was one thing. Carrying it alone, the rest of my life... |
Is scary. But you want it. Gimme some truth here. |
Well, it's the Jack Kennedy Syndrome, huh? You die young, you always look golden. Perfect. The memory kind of burnishes the image, and... |
Come on, a wuss like me? The stiff who wouldn't help her own daughter fight back? |
Maybe I was wrong on that one. |
You're lying. |
I lost him. I was panicked. |
You are lying, you never lost that kid for 4 <u>seconds</u>, you could find him from a <u>coma</u>, there is no WAY! |
I was running around like a chicken with my head chopped off. Doing my imitation of you. |
Ben never mentioned it. |
He only remembers I <u>found</u> him. My point is, telling you this story would have been the kindest, most helpful thing I could ever have done for you. |
Why didn't I? |
Uh. You hate my guts? |
With good reason. They fucking worship you as it is. |
What do I have that you don't? |
Everything. You're...the Earth Mother incarnate... |
You're the hip and fresh. |
You ride with Annabelle... |
You'll learn. |
You know every story, every wound, every memory, their whole life's <u>happiness</u> has been wrapped up in <u>you</u>, every moment... |
I have their past. |
Now Edna says you shortchanged your last meds. You can do presents and be comfortable at the same time, y'know. |
Just want to be a little sharper. For a few minutes. |
You know, there's nothing you have to say. Because they know your heart. You don't have t... |
Just sit me up. Nice and tall. Bring Benjamin first. |
Planning on getting |
Remarried. There is no move. |
Are you here? |
I'm here. |
Because you don't really seem here. |
I'm here. I've got a case where they're this close to sequestering the jury but have I answered the goddamn thing?! |
Something's up wi... |
You think I didn't get that? |
I've been with someone for quite some time, and didn't feel it was appropriate for her to move in too quickly. But after a lot of thought and careful discussion with her and the kids I might add she moved in last month. |
Since our divorce Luke has seen a number of different women in three short years and without a lot of warning for the kids, he's now living with a woman half his age |
Rachel's not half my age. |
We're not discussing your age. |
Well, we're not discussing Rachel's age either. |
They want to be with you Luke, they go to your house to be with their father. |
Jackie, they come to be part of my life. Rachel <u>is</u> part of that life. |
Napalm. |
Except for last Thursday when Rachel forgot to pick them up |
Jackie, she was five minutes late |
Thank you Mrs. Franklin. Jackie? This has been very valuable for us. And I'll have a serious talk with Annabelle tonight. |
It's Wednesday night. She's at my house. I'll talk to her. |
I'll call from work. We can have a conference call. |
You tried that last week and we were on hold fortyfive minutes... |
You ask me that counselor's making a mountain out of a molehill... |
I'm worried. |
Me too. |
Luke, I need to switch next Friday for Thursday, so why don't you take the weekend... ...that way you'll be there, and I'll pick up Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. |
Fine. But I wanted to take the kids to work with me on Wednesday so I'll take Wednesday, and you can pick up that Thursday, Friday after soccer, and Saturday before riding. |
Easy enough. |
Good...Well...Take care. |
Just outside the big top, we're almo... |
You're WHERE? |
At the Big Apple Circus, it's the only big top I know. I <u>said</u> I'd get 'em back tonight... |
Jackie, <u>we</u> were taking them water skiing for the <u>whole</u> weekend! |
...until the plan changed, when Jessie's mom gave us these tickets. What, Rachel. 'forgot' I told her? |
Our children. |
Do you realize what could have hap pened to your son today? How lucky we are the police found him before some lunatic did? He could have been... |
But he hasn't. He wandered off. I know it's terrifying. I can imagine how you felt when that call came But it happens. |
Not to me. |
Jackie, you've made mistakes We all make mistakes |
I'm not gonna wait around to see the next one. I'm not gonna watch my kids fall through the cracks of this arrangement. I'm seeing a lawyer. |
Jackie stop. We promised we never go there. |
We've broken a lot of promises, haven't we Luke? |
Called him. We set an ap... |
Don't do this. |
You're saying, don't make the kids a football, don't put them through a war. But I'm doing this for <u>their</u> wellbeing. |
Partly. But partly, you're mad. |
You know the kids aren't really in danger. This is about Rachel, and you're right, I'm disappointed in her learning curve, and... |
<u>Slugs</u>. Have faster learning curves. <u>Trees</u>, even. |
I'm afraid she's going to walk. |
And I'm supposed to care. |
Still, please. |
Annabelle showed me the new dress. She's amazing in it. |
