00:00:40Move the ball around.
00:00:42Here, Henry.
00:00:43You can try the ball, that's OK.
00:00:45They just started.
00:00:46That's it.
00:00:47All right, get back, get back, get back, get back.
00:00:48Get back, get back.
00:00:49Come on.
00:00:50Come on, Johnny.
00:00:51OK, Johnny.
00:00:52OK, Johnny.
00:00:53Keep going.
00:00:54Keep going.
00:00:55Keep going.
00:00:56Get in there.
00:00:57Don't let them get inside.
00:00:58That's it.
00:00:59Come on.
00:01:00Heads up.
00:01:01Come on.
00:01:02Try again.
00:01:03That's OK.
00:01:04Go.
00:01:05Go.
00:01:06All right.
00:01:07Come on, get your phone.
00:01:09Our primary catch at these.
00:01:11All right.
00:01:12All right.
00:01:13Go.
00:01:14Hey, Brody.
00:01:15Yes.
00:01:16I want work?
00:01:18Heads up.
00:01:19Are you serious?
00:01:20No, I don't believe it.
00:01:22They never give it to anybody in retail.
00:01:25The keynote, too?
00:01:26Yeah.
00:01:27Cool.
00:01:28All right, let's go.
00:01:29Brody.
00:01:30Brody, this is great for us.
00:01:31Johnny's got the ball.
00:01:32I gotta go.
00:01:33I'll see you in the morning.
00:01:34Bye.
00:01:35Yeah, Johnny!
00:01:36Woo!
00:01:37Yes!
00:01:38That's it.
00:01:39Yes!
00:01:40Yes!
00:01:45I'm riding with Mom.
00:01:47I'm riding with Mom.
00:01:48You rode with her last time.
00:01:50You can both ride with Mom.
00:01:51Dad doesn't mind, OK?
00:01:53You got anything to eat at home?
00:01:54Chili.
00:01:55Yes!
00:01:56All right.
00:01:57Well, I'll see you there.
00:01:58All right.
00:01:59Go in the car.
00:02:00Hey, wait a minute.
00:02:01I have something I want to tell you.
00:02:02Um, Brody called while the game was on?
00:02:04Hey, I noticed that.
00:02:05Can't you keep that thing off for a half hour?
00:02:07Oh, sorry.
00:02:08I thought I did.
00:02:09But, uh, the Better Business Bureau named me Woman of the Year.
00:02:13Really?
00:02:14Yeah.
00:02:15Oh, that's good.
00:02:16That's great.
00:02:17You deserve that.
00:02:18You worked really hard.
00:02:22Thanks.
00:02:23You gave away your lunch again today?
00:02:28What'd I do wrong?
00:02:29It's too much mayo.
00:02:30The bread's soggy.
00:02:31Yuck.
00:02:33I traded for Adam's cold pizza.
00:02:35Yuck!
00:02:37Oh, really?
00:02:38The both of you.
00:02:39Cold pizza's the best.
00:02:40Stop it.
00:02:41It is.
00:02:42The warm pizza's way better, Johnny.
00:02:44No.
00:02:45Cold pizza's better.
00:02:46Are we having company tonight?
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:51There they are.
00:02:52Howdy, neighbors!
00:02:54Hey, Adam.
00:02:55What's up?
00:02:56Hey, Alice.
00:02:57Oh, don't ask.
00:02:59Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:03:01Hey, Steve, how are you?
00:03:02How you doing, Daddy?
00:03:03Good to see you.
00:03:04How you doing?
00:03:05So, is your mother getting any better?
00:03:09Well, Rona says she's holding her own.
00:03:11If we were closer, I'd be able to read her better.
00:03:14But, you know, my sister, Rona.
00:03:17Mother and martyr of the year.
00:03:21Well, it doesn't matter, because I get to go to Seattle tomorrow to open up the new store, so I'll get to see her for myself.
00:03:26Well, that's good.
00:03:27No.
00:03:28Cancer's hell.
00:03:29What we went through with my mother.
00:03:31Listen, if you ever need anyone to talk to...
00:03:35Thanks, Alice.
00:03:36You're the best.
00:03:37Thanks, Alice.
00:03:38You're the best.
00:03:39Go, guys.
00:03:40Bye, Claire.
00:03:41Thanks.
00:03:42You call me.
00:03:43Okay.
00:03:44Bye, Dennis.
00:03:45Bye.
00:03:46You gotta love Alice.
00:03:47She really speaks her mind.
00:03:52What's wrong?
00:03:53I thought we said we weren't gonna have people over on school nights anymore.
00:03:59Well, they're redoing their kitchen.
00:04:01Bye.
00:04:02They didn't have a place to eat.
00:04:03All the restaurants are closed.
00:04:05You know, we make these agreements, and then you just do whatever you want.
00:04:11Bye.
00:04:14Bye.
00:04:15What's that?
00:04:17Good night.
00:04:18Good night, stars.
00:04:19Good night, Lightning Bugs and Jars.
00:04:20I'm sorry I have to go back to Seattle tomorrow.
00:04:24I'll be back on Thursday.
00:04:25And maybe we could go to Seattle tomorrow.
00:04:27Good night.
00:04:28Good night, stars.
00:04:30Good night, lightning bugs and jars.
00:04:33I'm sorry I have to go back to Seattle tomorrow.
00:04:37I'll be back on Thursday.
00:04:38And maybe we could go to the circus on Saturday.
00:04:42Yay, the circus!
00:04:44I'll ask Dad to try to get tickets.
00:04:45Can I go with you to Seattle?
00:04:47I haven't seen Nana for almost a whole year.
00:04:50I know, honey, but I don't think so.
00:04:52I mean, you have school and practice and...
00:04:54I can get it.
00:04:55Kids never get what they want.
00:04:57Excuse me?
00:04:59You get everything that you want.
00:05:02I didn't get the red bike I really wanted for Christmas.
00:05:04I got the blue one.
00:05:06Oh, write a letter to Santa.
00:05:11It's 9.30.
00:05:12Young man, you're going to bed.
00:05:16Good night.
00:05:17Come on.
00:05:18Good night, Mom.
00:05:19Talk to you.
00:05:20Thank you, Dad.
00:05:22Good night, sweetie.
00:05:22Good night.
00:05:25Okay.
00:05:26Good night, baby.
00:05:27That was a good game today, buddy.
00:05:29It was.
00:05:30Thanks, Dad.
00:05:31It really was.
00:05:35We need to talk.
00:05:36Okay.
00:05:37I just have to call Brody and ask him what time he's going to come pick me up tomorrow morning.
00:05:48Hey, Brody.
00:05:49Okay.
00:05:50I want to know everything that he said.
00:05:51Good night, Johnny.
00:05:52My dad.
00:05:53No.
00:05:53He said that?
00:05:56You've got to be kidding me.
00:05:58Really?
00:05:58How did he know he did that kind of business last year?
00:06:02Wow.
00:06:04Oh, my goodness.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07Yeah.
00:06:07What else?
00:06:10No.
00:06:11Really?
00:06:12Oh, cool.
00:06:14And tomorrow, is everything okay?
00:06:15Are you sure I can't change your mind?
00:06:17Oh, I'm really flattered.
00:06:21Oh, come on now.
00:06:22You've got to eat, right?
00:06:24Well, it's just a little closer.
00:06:27I already have plans.
00:06:29Well, what about the next night?
00:06:32Sorry.
00:06:32Another early morning pickup.
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:39All right.
00:06:39Well, look.
00:06:40How about I call you and we'll...
00:06:42Claire.
00:06:54I'm not doing very well with all this.
00:07:00Look, I know you're upset that I'm leaving again.
00:07:03So am I.
00:07:04I don't want to go.
00:07:07But I've got obligations,
00:07:08and it's a chance for me to see my mom.
00:07:10Come on.
00:07:15We've been through this in therapy.
00:07:18I take a business trip.
00:07:19You get upset.
00:07:20We fight.
00:07:21It's a pattern.
00:07:22We're supposed to be working on breaking that pattern.
00:07:24How can we work on it when you keep missing the sessions?
00:07:28And I've told you how sorry I am.
00:07:32Yeah, that's true.
00:07:33You have.
00:07:33Look, we're not going to be able to solve anything tonight.
00:07:42And it's late.
00:07:45And I really need to get some sleep.
00:07:47So can we talk about it when I get back?
00:07:53Sure, fine.
00:07:54Good night.
00:08:03Good night.
00:08:04That's pretty short of your genius, you know.
00:08:06Hey, Rudy.
00:08:08Dennis Raphael on Willow.
00:08:12Got another leak under the sink.
00:08:14Hey, big sis.
00:08:14Our plane arrives at 1215,
00:08:16so Brody and I will just meet you at the store, okay?
00:08:19Bye.
00:08:19Love you.
00:08:20Kiss mom.
00:08:20I'm so mean.
00:08:21I don't know.
00:08:21It could be either the water purifier,
00:08:22the disposal, or the sink.
00:08:24You take your pick.
00:08:26Apple, orange, banana?
00:08:27Apple.
00:08:27No brown spots.
00:08:28Maybe really?
00:08:29Shh.
00:08:29I want an orange, mommy.
00:08:30Cut up, please.
00:08:31Peel it yourself.
00:08:32No, three o'clock's all good.
00:08:33I've got to pick up my kids at school.
00:08:34You can wait until tomorrow if you want.
00:08:36That's great.
00:08:37I'll see you then.
00:08:37Bye.
00:08:38Okay, so you have your lunch.
00:08:40I got it.
00:08:40You have your homework.
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:42Kinky, don't forget these cupcakes, okay?
00:08:44We made them for the bake sale.
00:08:46Oh, my God, I got to go.
00:08:47Brody will be here.
00:08:49Griddle's too hot.
00:08:52No, it's not.
00:08:53Good morning.
00:08:54Hi, Brody.
00:08:55Hey.
00:08:56Kinky, kinky.
00:08:57You get bigger and bigger.
00:08:58What do you know?
00:08:58You're like 27 years, 50.
00:09:00What is that?
00:09:00No, silly.
00:09:01I'm still mine.
00:09:02Nine years old.
00:09:02Can you come to one of my games, Brody?
00:09:04Sure.
00:09:04You just let me know, and I will be there.
00:09:06Hi, Dennis.
00:09:07Yo.
00:09:08You see the celts last night?
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:10Finally in the zone for a change.
00:09:12Your griddle's too hot.
00:09:14My griddle is not too hot.
00:09:17Here.
00:09:18Make yourself useful, man.
00:09:20Here you go, kids.
00:09:21Here.
00:09:21Our pancakes are going like hotcakes.
00:09:23Who wants them?
00:09:24Here.
00:09:24Good morning.
00:09:25Oh, if it isn't the woman of the year.
00:09:29Oh, let me get you bags, ma'am.
00:09:32Hey, kids.
00:09:33I love you.
00:09:34Mwah.
00:09:35Love you.
00:09:36I'll call you tonight, okay?
00:09:37Okay.
00:09:38Can Brody go with us to the circus?
00:09:40Uh, sure.
00:09:41If you want to.
00:09:42Brody wants to.
00:09:42Maybe I'll bring Stephanie.
00:09:43If the lovely ex-Mrs. Brody will let me have her on an off weekend.
00:09:46Yeah, that'd be great.
00:09:47What's this about a circus?
00:09:49I promised the kids that, uh, when I got back, we'd go.
00:09:53Can we?
00:09:53I meant to ask you about getting tickets last night, but we got way off track.
00:09:59So, could you?
00:10:00We gotta go.
00:10:00Come on.
00:10:02Bye, honey.
00:10:05Say hi to your mom for me.
00:10:07I will.
00:10:08Love you.
00:10:08Love you.
00:10:09Bye, hon.
00:10:10Love you.
00:10:12Bye, guys.
00:10:12Bye, buddy.
00:10:13Bye.
00:10:18I love the location.
00:10:19I really think it's great.
00:10:22Ah.
00:10:24Tom, I don't know, but do you think we should lose this plant stand?
00:10:27No, it's good.
00:10:28I love those flowers.
00:10:31Great lighting.
00:10:32Bella, thank you.
00:10:33You remembered.
00:10:34You guys did such an amazing job.
00:10:36I love it.
00:10:38Claire, do you remember me?
00:10:39Bernice Matheson.
00:10:41I was your mother's bridge partner, of course.
00:10:44Well, you know my sister, Rona.
00:10:45Yes, of course.
00:10:46Hello, dear.
00:10:47Hello, Mrs. Matheson.
00:10:48It's so nice for your mother that one of you stayed home with her.
00:10:52Good to see you.
00:10:57What, did she come here just to make me feel bad?
00:10:59Oh, this isn't it.
00:11:02I mean, she could have at least mentioned the store.
00:11:05Careers don't impress women of that generation.
00:11:09Loyalty does.
00:11:11What's that supposed to mean, Rona?
00:11:12Well, you know, mothers stayed home to take care of their children, and grown children
00:11:18stayed home to take care of their mothers.
00:11:21Hello, hello, everyone.
00:11:23Folks, I'd like to introduce you now to the president, the founder, and the creative head
00:11:28of Claire Raphael Designs.
00:11:29She's my partner.
00:11:31She's my friend.
00:11:31She also signs the checks.
00:11:33Claire Raphael.
00:11:35Where are you, Claire?
00:11:37Come on.
00:11:39Come on.
00:11:41Oh, I'm very happy to be here.
00:11:44I must admit, a little nervous.
00:11:47Openings are like that.
00:11:48But it does give me great pleasure to welcome you to our new store, which just happens to
00:11:54be here in Seattle.
00:11:55My mom and sister Rona's adopted hometown.
00:12:01And also to introduce to you what we feel is a line of innovative furniture that will
00:12:07add grace, comfort, and style to your home for years to come.
00:12:12I don't know how you do it.
00:12:16I look like I'm 150 years old.
00:12:18No, you don't.
00:12:19You look great.
00:12:20You're just tired from taking care of a husband, three kids, and mom all by yourself.
00:12:26I wish I was here to help you more.
00:12:30I wanted to talk to you about that, actually.
00:12:32Barney and I have volunteered to shop her on the kids' church camping trip, and I need
00:12:37your help.
00:12:38What do you need?
00:12:39I need you to stay with mom for two weeks.
00:12:41End of next month?
00:12:42Two weeks.
00:12:43Brody could take care of the business.
00:12:45Dennis could take care of the kids.
00:12:47I can't be away from my family for two more weeks, Rona.
00:12:51I, um, I could hire mom a private duty nurse, and it'll give you some time off.
00:12:58She doesn't want a nurse.
00:13:00She wants us.
00:13:01No, I know.
00:13:02Oh, jeez.
00:13:05Clara.
00:13:06I'm sorry.
00:13:07I've never asked anything of you before.
00:13:09It's not that I don't want to, Roe.
00:13:11I do.
00:13:12I just can't be away for two more weeks.
00:13:14Dennis is all over me as it is.
00:13:17The timing is impossible.
00:13:19Look, I'll, um, I'll stay with her all day tomorrow.
00:13:22I'll, I'll even sleep over if she wants to.
00:13:25I just really hoped you could help me on this one.
00:13:32Mom, you're still so beautiful.
00:13:34Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
00:13:37My friend Elaine says that your new store is the best thing in Seattle.
00:13:44I can't wait for you to see it.
00:13:46See what your encouragement and your loan help build.
00:13:49Oh, I'm going to leave you two alone.
00:13:52God knows mom sees enough of me.
00:13:54Bye, dear.
00:13:55Oh, all right.
00:13:57I'll take a cab back to the hotel.
00:13:59I'll call you tonight.
00:14:00Okay, bye.
00:14:02Oh, so good to see you, honey.
00:14:06How you doing, Mom?
00:14:09It's hard.
00:14:11I'm not able to do much, but lie, hear, and think.
00:14:17Like you, I was always so busy.
00:14:22It's frustrating.
00:14:24All the things I wanted to do in life didn't.
00:14:28You did tons, starting way back when Daddy died.
00:14:33You were the one who kept us afloat.
00:14:34Oh, I chased my tail, is what I did.
00:14:40Never could seem to get ahead.
00:14:44Oh, but you.
00:14:47Tell me everything.
00:14:49And Kiki is just amazing.
00:14:52She got a full scholarship into an art camp.
00:14:54Sunshine.
00:15:00So, Dennis hasn't been very happy lately.
00:15:04I just feel that he hasn't really tried hard to get a new job.
00:15:08I was always so fond of Dennis.
00:15:12You're lucky you're such a good father.
00:15:16You seem sad, dear.
00:15:20No, I'm not sad at all.
00:15:22I love my work, and the kids are just terrific.
00:15:25And it's a godsend that Dennis could, you know, be able to stay home all the time.
00:15:32It's just that I...
00:15:34Well, I just wish we could have supported the family together.
00:15:39In my day, if a man didn't support his family, he felt a complete failure.
00:15:44Oh, Claire, you run on, dear.
00:15:54I know you're tired after your trip.
00:15:56I usually just go to sleep after supper.
00:15:59You sure, Mom?
00:16:00Mm.
00:16:01Mm.
00:16:03I'll call you in the morning.
00:16:04Fly safe, sweetheart.
00:16:06Okay.
00:16:06Earth to Claire.
00:16:15Where'd you go?
00:16:17You remember when you and Dennis started at Payne Webber, and I was pregnant with Johnny?
00:16:22Oh, yeah.
00:16:23I was still married to the lovely ex-Mrs. Brody.
00:16:26Stop.
00:16:27We didn't have a pot to pee in.
00:16:31Didn't it seem that life was a lot easier then?
00:16:35Yeah.
00:16:35Because we didn't know nothing.
00:16:39Oh, we knew we were in love.
00:16:40Mm-hmm.
00:16:41Knew our parents were healthy.
00:16:44We knew we were building a future.
00:16:48Mm.
00:16:50Don't worry about you, Mom.
00:16:52If she's anything like her daughter, she'll be just fine.
00:16:55I need to get home.
00:16:57Back to basics.
00:16:58Wait.
00:16:59Touch my kids.
00:17:00Smell the laundry.
00:17:02You know, the farther I get away,
00:17:04the more I realize home is my anchor.
00:17:07Come on.
00:17:08All right.
00:17:08All right.
00:17:09Let's go.
00:17:10Hey.
00:17:12I'm home.
00:17:15Kiki.
00:17:15Johnny.
00:17:18Hello.
00:17:19Hi there.
00:17:24Where's the kids?
00:17:26They're at my mom's.
00:17:28How come?
00:17:30I didn't want them here tonight.
00:17:34Okay.
00:17:35Is this some kind of romantic surprise?
00:17:39It's a really great idea.
00:17:44I'm gonna go take a shower.
00:17:47I'll answer the door.
00:17:49I'll meet you upstairs.
00:17:56Hello.
00:17:57Claire Raphael?
00:17:58Yes.
00:18:00What's this?
00:18:01Probate Family Court, Suffolk Division, Boston, Massachusetts.
00:18:12You are ordered as file pending the hearing
00:18:23or until further notice of the court,
00:18:25it is ordered that Dennis Raphael
00:18:27is to have temporary custody
00:18:29of John and Clara Kate Raphael,
00:18:33the wife Claire Raphael,
00:18:34is to vacate the marital premises?
00:18:37What the hell is this?
00:18:39Some kind of joke
00:18:40to drive home the fact
00:18:41that you don't like my working?
00:18:43It's no joke.
00:18:44I'm suing you for divorce.
00:18:46The judge has given me
00:18:47temporary custody of the children
00:18:49and ordered you to move out
00:18:52tonight.
00:18:54Right.
00:18:55Come on, Dennis.
00:18:57What is this?
00:18:58For God's sakes, Claire.
00:18:59It's right there.
00:19:00I'm suing you for divorce.
00:19:02Why won't that register?
00:19:04Because it isn't the way
00:19:05two rational people
00:19:07who have been married
00:19:07for 15 years behave.
00:19:10Dangers, people talk to each other.
00:19:12I've tried talking.
00:19:13You can't be serious.
00:19:15I am.
00:19:17I'm very serious.
00:19:24Remember in couples therapy,
00:19:27we promised each other,
00:19:29we agreed,
00:19:30that we wouldn't make
00:19:31any radical moves?
00:19:33This is not radical.
00:19:34I've thought this through.
00:19:36Since you've been unwilling to hear me,
00:19:37I had to resort to this.
00:19:45Look,
00:19:47you want a trial separation?
00:19:49That's one thing.
00:19:49Okay.
00:19:51But what's this about
00:19:52custody of the children
00:19:54and in order to vacate?
00:19:59Dennis,
00:20:00this is my home.
00:20:02I live here.
00:20:05A divorce?
00:20:07You never said
00:20:08that you wanted to talk
00:20:10about a divorce.
00:20:12You're not a responsible mother.
00:20:14Are you crazy?
00:20:16What could you have possibly said
00:20:17to a judge to convince him
00:20:19that I'm not a responsible mother?
00:20:21Between your mother
00:20:22and your work,
00:20:23you are in a state
00:20:23of personal crisis.
00:20:24The children are suffering.
00:20:26Suffering?
00:20:29Suffering?
00:20:30How?
00:20:31How is that?
00:20:31You're never here,
00:20:32for one thing.
00:20:34And when you are here,
00:20:35you're so preoccupied
00:20:36with your work
00:20:37that you forget the kids.
00:20:38Forget the kids?
00:20:40Forget the kids?
00:20:41What?
00:20:41Uh, Kiki's ballet lesson?
00:20:43I lost track of time.
00:20:44What about the little accident
00:20:45where the children
00:20:46were nearly killed?
00:20:47I was hit by a man
00:20:48having a heart attack,
00:20:49for God's sake!
00:20:50It wasn't my fault!
00:20:52Yes, this is Dennis Raphael
00:21:13and Willow.
00:21:14We spoke earlier.
00:21:15Yep.
00:21:16Yes, right away.
00:21:17Then there's you and Brody
00:21:20working all hours of the night!
00:21:23This is insane.
00:21:26The only reason why
00:21:27I started the business
00:21:29was because you stopped working!
00:21:31Yes, with Brody!
00:21:33We wouldn't have eaten
00:21:34if he didn't help.
00:21:37My God.
00:21:39What have you become?
00:21:41Why are you doing this?
00:21:43I didn't do it.
00:21:44You did it.
00:21:45The court says...
00:21:47I don't care what the court says.
00:21:49I only care about my kids.
00:21:51I need them and they need me.
00:22:03Come on in.
00:22:05She won't leave.
00:22:07She's becoming violent,
00:22:09breaking things.
00:22:10Thanks.
00:22:15You planned this?
00:22:21You set me up,
00:22:22you son of a bitch.
00:22:24Can I see that court order, ma'am?
00:22:26Yes.
00:22:30You're gonna have to leave
00:22:30the house right now.
00:22:32You don't have a choice.
00:22:33If you refuse,
00:22:34I'm gonna have to arrest you.
00:22:37Arrest me?
00:22:37Yeah.
00:22:40I haven't done anything wrong.
00:22:42Come on.
00:22:43You have to go.
00:23:08Now, ma'am.
00:23:09ah!
00:23:22Oh, no.
00:23:24I can't.
00:23:26No.
00:23:27I can't.
00:23:28Hey, Claire, I thought you were safely anchored at home.
00:23:51What's up?
00:23:53I got home.
00:23:54There was a man with a court order saying Dennis wanted a divorce
00:23:57and I had to leave the house.
00:23:59Wait a minute, wait a minute, what are you talking about?
00:24:01You're not making any sense.
00:24:02Why does he want a divorce? Why do you want to do that?
00:24:06I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
00:24:08No.
00:24:08I was driving around. I didn't know where to go.
00:24:10No, no, no, it's all right.
00:24:12Listen, why don't I just go get the keys to the car
00:24:13and I'll take you back over there. We'll clear this all up.
00:24:15No, I'm not allowed to go back.
00:24:22I didn't know who he was.
00:24:25He was so cold and shut down.
00:24:32He's keeping the kids for me.
00:24:37He said that...
00:24:38Just come in. Come on.
00:24:40Did you know that he was thinking about this?
00:24:48I knew he wasn't happy.
00:24:53But I never thought,
00:24:55can he really do this to me?
00:24:58Can he throw me out of my house?
00:25:00Look, I've got to call the kids.
00:25:05No, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:07I'd rather that you talk to my lawyer first.
00:25:09I don't really want to talk to your lawyer first.
00:25:11You don't have to use him, of course, but he's very fair.
00:25:14And I'm sure he'll be able to tell you what the deal is with the kids.
00:25:17And I would feel better, that's all.
00:25:20I don't want to jeopardize anything.
00:25:22Carter, hi, this is Nick Brody.
00:25:24Listen, I'm so sorry to call you at home,
00:25:26but I'm here with my partner, Claire Raphael,
00:25:29and she's just been served with an order to vacate,
00:25:33and we just felt she needed to talk to somebody.
00:25:36Sure, Nick, but I'm cooking supper.
00:25:39Oh, I'm sorry, but we won't take that much of your time.
00:25:41It's really been a great shock to her.
00:25:43She came home.
00:25:44So she had no idea?
00:25:46Yeah, it came right out of the blue.
00:25:48Her husband's name is Dennis,
00:25:50and you know what?
00:25:52I think it would be better if you just talked to her yourself.
00:25:54All right.
00:25:54Okay, just a minute.
00:25:55Okay, this is Carter Petrie.
00:26:00Um, hello, Carter.
00:26:03Hi, Claire.
00:26:04I'm sorry to hear about all this.
00:26:06It's always a shock, even when you know it's coming.
00:26:09Yeah, it is.
00:26:11There really isn't much we can do tonight,
00:26:13but if you'll drop by my office tomorrow morning,
00:26:16we'll talk a little, and we'll see where to start.
00:26:18Well, actually, um,
00:26:22maybe you could give me some advice tonight.
00:26:25Dennis took our children to his mother's.
00:26:30Can I, uh, just go there and tell them that I'm home?
00:26:34Actually, no.
00:26:35No, you can't see them.
00:26:37You can certainly call them,
00:26:39but it might be easier if you told them you were still out of town.
00:26:42That way you wouldn't have to explain anything tonight.
00:26:44What's the lawyer's name on the court order?
00:26:46Plaintiff's lawyer, Phoebe Harris.
00:26:53Ha-ha.
00:26:55You try and get some rest,
00:26:57and I will see you tomorrow, all right?
00:26:59Yeah.
00:27:01Bye.
00:27:01Bye.
00:27:03What did he say?
00:27:06He said that I can't see the kids,
00:27:08I can't go to the house,
00:27:09but I could call them.
00:27:11Good.
00:27:12Good.
00:27:12Emma?
00:27:22Could I talk to the kids?
00:27:27Kiki, it's your mom.
00:27:29See, Grandma, I told you she'd call.
00:27:31Hi, Mom.
00:27:33Can you come get us?
00:27:34Grandma says we have to go to bed at 8 o'clock.
00:27:36Well, uh,
00:27:38why don't you get into bed when she says
00:27:42and then ask her to tell you a story, okay, baby?
00:27:45Is Johnny there?
00:27:47Johnny!
00:27:48It's Mom!
00:27:53Hi, Mom.
00:27:54Where are you?
00:27:55Hi, honey.
00:27:56I'm in Seattle.
00:27:58How was practice today?
00:28:00It was okay.
00:28:01When are you coming home?
00:28:02Johnny, look,
00:28:03Nina really needs me for a little bit here,
00:28:07so, um...
00:28:08so I'm gonna stay.
00:28:11But I'll call you tomorrow.
00:28:14Okay?
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:16All right.
00:28:18Sweet dreams.
00:28:21Good night, Mom.
00:28:22I love you.
00:28:22I love you, too.
00:28:32So this is how it's gonna be.
00:28:35I'm gonna have to lie to my kids.
00:28:45Claire.
00:28:46Carter Petrie.
00:28:48Please, come in.
00:28:52I know that Dennis and I can work this out.
00:29:02He doesn't really want a divorce.
00:29:04It's just an ill-conceived emotional move.
00:29:09Um, our counselor says that...
00:29:11His papers don't look ill-conceived.
00:29:13He wants sole custody of the children,
00:29:17child support until they're 18,
00:29:19and maintenance.
00:29:21That's what we used to call alimony.
00:29:23And he wants half your business.
00:29:26He claims that with your business booming
00:29:28and your mother ill,
00:29:30you're too busy for your family.
00:29:32You've been gone 34 days of the last 90.
00:29:35You've canceled appointments at school.
00:29:37You're seeing a therapist.
00:29:39You've endangered the children.
00:29:41Oh, he's talking about that car crash.
00:29:43That wasn't my fault.
00:29:45And the therapist is seeing the both of us.
00:29:48I don't believe this.
00:29:49This isn't Dennis.
00:29:50Has divorce ever been discussed?
00:29:58He's talked of separation,
00:30:00but only when he's discouraged about himself.
00:30:04He's hired a very tough lawyer.
00:30:05That may explain it.
00:30:07Although I'm seeing more and more of this attitude
00:30:10from men who...
00:30:12whose spouses are the breadwinners.
00:30:15I don't know what you mean.
00:30:17Men are asking for custody?
00:30:18It could be some of the old
00:30:20what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
00:30:24I see.
00:30:25You mean men are trying to get even
00:30:27for the way they've been...
00:30:28Yes.
00:30:29For the way they, traditionally, were...
00:30:32Taken to the cleaners.
00:30:35The practice of the law,
00:30:37as gender neutral as it tries to be,
00:30:39still reflects the biases in our society.
00:30:42This judge, in your case, for example,
00:30:44the one Dennis' lawyer has maneuvered us
00:30:47into having to deal with
00:30:48is a conservative Boston Catholic
00:30:51who is not at all sympathetic to working women.
00:30:54Oh, great.
00:30:55He thinks moms belong in the home
00:30:57and should not be working.
00:30:59I am at home as much as I can
00:31:01and still support the family.
00:31:04My husband doesn't bring in any income at all.
00:31:08Look, Dennis took on most of the domestic side
00:31:11once he lost his job.
00:31:14And I thought he was happy doing it.
00:31:17How does a judge make a decision like this
00:31:20after only hearing one side?
00:31:22They do it all the time.
00:31:24And my job is to make sure
00:31:26that he hears the other side.
00:31:29When do I get to see my children?
00:31:32We go before the judge next week.
00:31:34You'll be in violation
00:31:35if you try to see them before
00:31:36they had a phone contact.
00:31:38That's all.
00:31:44Hey, morning.
00:31:50Yep, you talking?
00:31:53Nope.
00:31:55Clarison, you over here?
00:31:56Oh, come on.
00:31:57I love both you guys.
00:31:58You know that.
00:31:59What's going on?
00:32:01My lawyer told me not to talk to you.
00:32:03Well, screw your lawyer.
00:32:04Come on, Dennis.
00:32:07We know each other better
00:32:08than we know ourselves.
00:32:10But I gotta tell you,
00:32:10you've lost me on this one, man.
00:32:14I told Claire it wasn't another woman.
00:32:17What is it?
00:32:23My lawyer told me not to talk to you
00:32:25because you are Claire's partner
00:32:26and you may end up telling her
00:32:27everything that I say.
00:32:29That would be good, right?
00:32:32Come on.
00:32:33Man, you loved each other.
00:32:34I know that.
00:32:34I was there.
00:32:35I introduced you.
00:32:35I was your best man.
00:32:36Yeah, yeah, you were there.
00:32:37You were there.
00:32:37You saw it.
00:32:38Well, Claire doesn't think
00:32:39I work for anything around here.
00:32:42She thinks all I do
00:32:42is sit around and feel sorry
00:32:43for myself while she's out
00:32:44busting her ass for the family.
00:32:45Yeah, she has busted her ass.
00:32:47And you've done your fair share
00:32:48of sitting around
00:32:49and feeling sorry for yourself.
00:32:50I was fired.
00:32:51And why you haven't lined
00:32:52anything else up
00:32:53is a mystery to me.
00:32:54You're a bright guy.
00:32:57You're smart.
00:32:57You used to be driven.
00:32:58You don't think I've tried
00:32:59to set something else up?
00:33:00You think I just sit around here
00:33:02and wait for the phone to ring?
00:33:03How would I know?
00:33:03How would I know?
00:33:03You don't talk to me anymore.
00:33:04How could I?
00:33:05I don't see you anymore
00:33:06since you partnered with my wife.
00:33:09Wow.
00:33:11Well, I know that Claire
00:33:12asked you to partner
00:33:13with her first.
00:33:15But something about
00:33:16your ego comes to mind.
00:33:18I run this house.
00:33:19I run this house.
00:33:22She doesn't think
00:33:22it's important that
00:33:23somebody be here
00:33:25when the kids get home.
00:33:25What are you talking about?
00:33:27Claire was home for years.
00:33:28And I've got a 10-year-old.
00:33:30They don't need a nanny
00:33:30as much as they need a chauffeur.
00:33:32And this is ridiculous.
00:33:33She takes care of them.
00:33:34She feeds them.
00:33:35She washes them.
00:33:36She reads them.
00:33:36She loves them
00:33:37as much as you do.
00:33:38When she's here,
00:33:40Claire does what she can, Dennis.
00:33:44We had no idea
00:33:45the business was going to
00:33:46take off the way it did.
00:33:48Dennis, don't you want
00:33:49to try to fix things up
00:33:50before you tear apart
00:33:51everything you've worked for here?
00:33:53Huh?
00:33:55Hello?
00:33:59Yep.
00:34:00Yep.
00:34:01Sitting right here.
00:34:02Okay, I'll bring it right over.
00:34:05Gotta go.
00:34:06Johnny left his math book.
00:34:07Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:34:10Let's go out for a beer tonight.
00:34:11All right?
00:34:12Let Claire take care of the kids.
00:34:13It'll be like old times.
00:34:14We'll hash this out.
00:34:15I can't do that, Brody.
00:34:16It's none of your business.
00:34:18It's not your marriage.
00:34:19You stay out of it!
00:34:25Hey, there's Claire.
00:34:29All right.
00:34:30All right, Claire.
00:34:31Congratulations.
00:34:32Claire, congratulations on your award.
00:34:35We're so proud.
00:34:36Woman of the Year.
00:34:38This is going to be so good business.
00:34:40Oh, yeah.
00:34:43Claire, there's a shipment
00:34:44of Italian cotton at customs.
00:34:47They say you have to sign
00:34:48for it personally.
00:34:50Betty, I have a personal thing
00:34:52I need to deal with.
00:34:53Dennis?
00:35:06Hi, it's me.
00:35:08Hi.
00:35:10Look, you made your point.
00:35:12I got it, okay?
00:35:14Do you, uh...
00:35:18I'm sorry I was so angry last night.
00:35:21Do you think, um...
00:35:24Do you think we could meet somewhere
00:35:27and, um...
00:35:28And you could tell me
00:35:31what this is all about?
00:35:34You know what this is about, Claire?
00:35:36Could you please tell Brody
00:35:37to stay the hell out of it?
00:35:40Okay.
00:35:41So we'll, uh...
00:35:42We'll do it on the phone if you like.
00:35:45Why don't you start
00:35:46at the top of your list?
00:35:47What?
00:35:47Do you want to have, like, a meeting
00:35:50so we can go over
00:35:51our goals and objectives?
00:35:53No, Dennis.
00:35:54I just want to find out
00:35:55what's bothering you
00:35:56so, uh...
00:35:58We could work on finding a solution,
00:36:00something that...
00:36:01Something that'll work
00:36:02for all of us.
00:36:03I'm not an employee
00:36:04of yours, Claire.
00:36:06Is that how you feel?
00:36:07Like an employee?
00:36:10When did that start?
00:36:12I don't...
00:36:13I don't want to talk about it.
00:36:14Well, I'm sorry.
00:36:15You have to talk about it.
00:36:17You just can't destroy our lives
00:36:20and not give me a reason.
00:36:22I mean, what has changed
00:36:23so much between us
00:36:24that we can't work it out?
00:36:26I don't have to answer
00:36:27to you, Claire.
00:36:28I don't have to prove myself
00:36:30to you, Claire.
00:36:31I don't have to talk to you
00:36:32anymore!
00:36:33Dennis, please.
00:36:34Don't go there.
00:36:35Oh, God.
00:36:58Here's our flag
00:36:59for Port Raphael.
00:37:01Flag
00:37:01for Port Raphael.
00:37:03This is so neat, Daddy.
00:37:06We did such a good job.
00:37:07Can I sleep at it tonight?
00:37:09No, because I am.
00:37:11I said it first.
00:37:12Here's what you said.
00:37:14Well, looks like there's
00:37:16enough room for the
00:37:17both of you is in there,
00:37:18so why don't you both
00:37:19go get your sleeping bag?
00:37:22Yes!
00:37:25This is so fun.
00:37:27I can't wait to show Mom this.
00:37:28She'll love it.
00:37:29As soon as she gets home,
00:37:30we'll show her.
00:37:30Maybe she can sleep
00:37:31with us, too.
00:37:34I knew he was mad
00:37:36that I invited you
00:37:37over on a school night.
00:37:39I also knew
00:37:40that he was unhappy
00:37:41with himself.
00:37:42Oh, come on, Claire.
00:37:44In all the years
00:37:44I've known you,
00:37:45I have never seen you
00:37:46play the naive card.
00:37:48What do you mean?
00:37:49I mean that there is
00:37:50something going on here
00:37:51that you don't want
00:37:52to look at.
00:37:53Something you've done,
00:37:54you've said,
00:37:55you've not said.
00:37:56Well, he says
00:37:57that we make these decisions
00:37:59and then I just go off
00:38:00and do whatever I want.
00:38:02Do you?
00:38:03Sometimes, sure.
00:38:05He's jealous
00:38:05of your business.
00:38:07We couldn't have lived
00:38:08without the business, Alice.
00:38:09I know that,
00:38:10but it's done so well.
00:38:11I mean, maybe it's
00:38:12a little more than threatening.
00:38:14I can't do anything
00:38:15about that.
00:38:17Oh, I'm working
00:38:18as hard as I can
00:38:19just to keep this thing going.
00:38:20What am I supposed to do?
00:38:21Make it not threatening, too?
00:38:23So are we just
00:38:24a little angry here?
00:38:26Yes, I'm angry.
00:38:27The bastard's
00:38:28tearing up my life.
00:38:30Hey, it's not just
00:38:31your life, Claire.
00:38:32It's his life, too.
00:38:34Maybe he didn't feel
00:38:35like he was in it.
00:38:38He wasn't in it, Alice.
00:38:41He quit on me.
00:38:43He quit work.
00:38:44He quit talk.
00:38:45He quit sex.
00:38:47So he's been mad
00:38:48at you, too.
00:38:50You've got to look
00:38:51at your part in this.
00:38:52For what, Alice?
00:38:53What did I do?
00:38:54Tell me what I did.
00:38:55You did his job
00:38:56better than he did.
00:38:58You wrecked man and woman's
00:38:59time-honored role.
00:39:01You took over
00:39:02the hunter and gatherer's job.
00:39:04Look, if Dennis
00:39:05evaporated tomorrow,
00:39:06you'd go on.
00:39:08Hell, I'd be mad
00:39:09at you, too.
00:39:12Come here.
00:39:19And it's going to be a robber.
00:39:25Oh, really?
00:39:28All right.
00:39:31Claire,
00:39:32our main objective here
00:39:34is to make a good impression
00:39:35on the judge
00:39:36and to have a good
00:39:37evaluator appointed.
00:39:38It's the evaluator
00:39:39in most cases
00:39:40who decides
00:39:40who gets the kids.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:44I'll do all the talking.
00:39:45You stay calm.
00:39:49Right.
00:39:49Your Honor,
00:39:56as you've read,
00:39:58my client was stunned
00:39:59by the order issued
00:40:00against her last Thursday.
00:40:02She has led
00:40:03an exemplary life.
00:40:05She's strong
00:40:05mentally and physically.
00:40:08She's well-known
00:40:08in her community.
00:40:09She's respected
00:40:10by her children's teachers,
00:40:12by their pastor,
00:40:13their doctor,
00:40:14and their friends.
00:40:15Her husband
00:40:17has never before
00:40:18expressed an interest
00:40:19in full-time parenting,
00:40:21nor did he ever suggest
00:40:22to her
00:40:23that she was
00:40:24an unfit mother.
00:40:25She had no idea
00:40:26that he was serious
00:40:27about wanting a divorce.
00:40:30Behind her back,
00:40:31he came to this court
00:40:32and presented evidence
00:40:33purporting
00:40:34to show her
00:40:35in a state
00:40:36of personal crisis.
00:40:37The evidence
00:40:38to that effect
00:40:39is filled
00:40:40with coincidence,
00:40:41erroneous supposition,
00:40:43even a few
00:40:43outright lies.
00:40:45To put it bluntly,
00:40:46he set her up.
00:40:48Objection,
00:40:48Your Honor.
00:40:49There's no proof
00:40:50of any setup.
00:40:50And no proof
00:40:51against it.
00:40:52Mr. Raphael
00:40:53deliberately manipulated
00:40:54the situation
00:40:54in order to make
00:40:56his wife look bad.
00:40:57We therefore request
00:40:58that the order
00:40:59to vacate
00:40:59be nullified
00:41:00and the children
00:41:01be returned
00:41:01to her care.
00:41:02We are not here
00:41:03to try this case,
00:41:05Counsel.
00:41:06What the father's
00:41:07affidavit says,
00:41:09the children are doing
00:41:09quite well without her.
00:41:11They don't even know
00:41:12they're without me.
00:41:12Mrs. Raphael,
00:41:14this is a hearing.
00:41:16Nothing you say
00:41:17has any bearing
00:41:18since you have not
00:41:19been put under oath.
00:41:20In this proceeding,
00:41:21your counsel speaks
00:41:22for you.
00:41:23Do you understand?
00:41:24Yes, sir.
00:41:25Your Honor,
00:41:26we request
00:41:26that she be put
00:41:27under oath.
00:41:28Further,
00:41:29we would like
00:41:29to bring in witnesses
00:41:30to attest
00:41:31to her diligence
00:41:32as a mother.
00:41:34No time.
00:41:35Since the parties
00:41:36disagree on
00:41:37who shall have custody,
00:41:38I'll name an evaluator
00:41:40who will prepare
00:41:41a recommendation.
00:41:42Any requests?
00:41:43Janice Goldman.
00:41:44John Eden,
00:41:45Your Honor.
00:41:45John Eden it is.
00:41:47He will study
00:41:48the behavior
00:41:49and emotions
00:41:49of the family relationships,
00:41:51then make his recommendation.
00:41:52How long will that be?
00:41:54Mr. Petrie,
00:41:55remind your client
00:41:56she may not speak
00:41:58at this hearing.
00:41:59Your Honor,
00:42:00regarding temporary custody.
00:42:02The children
00:42:02will stay
00:42:03with their father.
00:42:03Can the mother
00:42:04live in the house
00:42:05until the evaluator
00:42:06files his report?
00:42:08Is that acceptable?
00:42:10No, Your Honor.
00:42:11Mrs. Raphael
00:42:12is clearly angry.
00:42:13She became violent
00:42:14at her home
00:42:15the night she was served
00:42:16if the police were called.
00:42:17There's no telling
00:42:18what she might do
00:42:19to her husband
00:42:19or to the children.
00:42:21I would never.
00:42:24The order stands
00:42:25pending the evaluator's report.
00:42:27The father stays
00:42:28at home with the children.
00:42:30Mother travels anyway.
00:42:31She'll find lodging
00:42:32when she's in town.
00:42:33Visitation rights, then.
00:42:35Wednesdays and Saturdays.
00:42:36On the matter
00:42:37of temporary support,
00:42:38father will have
00:42:39same access to funds
00:42:40as he's had all along.
00:42:42Next case.
00:42:46No time.
00:42:48This is my life.
00:42:49My children.
00:42:50He says he has no time.
00:42:52Carter, this is so unfair.
00:42:54Fairness has little to do
00:42:55with divorce proceedings, Claire.
00:42:57Carter.
00:42:58It's always good to see you.
00:43:00My client says
00:43:01Mrs. Raphael
00:43:01can see the children
00:43:02on Wednesdays
00:43:03after they get home
00:43:03from school.
00:43:04If she wants to pick up
00:43:05a few weird things,
00:43:06she can do so
00:43:07one hour prior
00:43:08to that visitation.
00:43:10Rona?
00:43:11Claire?
00:43:12Yeah, Mom's not
00:43:13doing so well.
00:43:14Well, they're giving her
00:43:15morphine for the pain,
00:43:16but she's going in
00:43:18and out of consciousness.
00:43:19Her vitals are unstable.
00:43:22I think you should get here
00:43:23as soon as possible.
00:43:24Okay.
00:43:28Bye.
00:43:33Carter, I have to go.
00:43:34My sister says
00:43:35there's very little time.
00:43:39Your mom?
00:43:42I have to go.
00:43:44I'm sorry.
00:43:44If I had known
00:43:52she was this sick,
00:43:53I wouldn't have left
00:43:54last week.
00:43:56That's not what she wants.
00:43:58She wants us
00:43:59to live our lives.
00:44:02It just feels like I...
00:44:04I miss the signs
00:44:06of so many things.
00:44:07The guilt is overwhelming.
00:44:14You didn't miss the signs.
00:44:17Knowing you,
00:44:17you probably saw them all,
00:44:18but hope they meant
00:44:20something else.
00:44:22I knew Dennis was unhappy
00:44:24and I just kept pushing
00:44:25it down so far.
00:44:27I stopped feeling.
00:44:31Do you still love him?
00:44:35Hey.
00:44:35Hello, doctor.
00:44:45How are we doing?
00:44:47About the same.
00:44:50How bad is it?
00:44:53Well,
00:44:54with a will as strong as hers,
00:44:55she could go on for weeks.
00:44:58Even months.
00:44:59It won't be for a while.
00:45:02Okay.
00:45:05Listen.
00:45:17Hey.
00:45:20Listen.
00:45:22Listen to what, Mom.
00:45:25It takes two.
00:45:29One to talk
00:45:30and one to listen.
00:45:33You'll find a way.
00:45:39We all do.
00:46:03Hey.
00:46:08Hey.
00:46:09How's your mom?
00:46:11She's hanging in there.
00:46:16You okay?
00:46:18Promised myself I wouldn't cry or scream.
00:46:22Listen, I swear to God.
00:46:24You're gonna be okay.
00:46:25Your kids are gonna be okay.
00:46:29Yeah.
00:46:30Okay, what was that for?
00:46:35I was remembering when the lovely ex-Mrs. Brody gave me the boot and I went back to get my things.
00:46:41Where'd you go after?
00:46:43I went to a place full of laughter and love, a place that was very comfortable, very welcoming.
00:46:49Where'd you go?
00:46:52I went to your house, remember?
00:46:55Yours and Dennis's?
00:46:59I remember.
00:47:00I...
00:47:01I remember.
00:47:03Come here.
00:47:03I remember.
00:47:08I remember.
00:47:19I remember.
00:47:20I need to go on by six.
00:47:50I think it's time we tell the kids.
00:47:54Yeah, I suppose it is.
00:48:04This for me?
00:48:05It's got your name on it.
00:48:20I guess I'll just go and pack some of my things.
00:48:41I do just fine when you're gone, then you walk back into the house and make me feel worthless all over again.
00:48:47How?
00:48:50I haven't said a thing.
00:48:52You don't have to.
00:48:58I want you to know one thing.
00:49:02I will never give you the children.
00:49:06I'll tell them after you leave.
00:49:08No, you won't.
00:49:10I'll tell them while I'm here.
00:49:12Hey!
00:49:16Mom?
00:49:17Hey!
00:49:18Where are you?
00:49:19I'm here!
00:49:20Mom!
00:49:21Yes!
00:49:22Hello!
00:49:23How are you?
00:49:24How are you?
00:49:25I missed you guys so much.
00:49:27How's that?
00:49:29She's good.
00:49:30She's fighting this really hard.
00:49:32And Aunt Rona says, hello!
00:49:34Hello!
00:49:35How you been?
00:49:36Can you make some grease?
00:49:37Sure.
00:49:38You can make them, but you can't eat them until after dinner.
00:49:41Dad!
00:49:42That's it, Chief.
00:49:43Come on, let's make them!
00:49:44Let's make them!
00:49:45Let's make them!
00:49:46Let's get them!
00:49:47Mom, I scored eight points yesterday.
00:49:50Dad said it was the best game that I ever played.
00:49:52Good for you.
00:49:53I got to take the classroom fish home for the weekend.
00:49:56Really?
00:49:57And it's still alive?
00:49:58Mom!
00:49:59Mom!
00:50:00Mom!
00:50:01Come on, cookie maker!
00:50:05Oh, perfect.
00:50:11I missed you.
00:50:12Can you get a job where you don't have to go away?
00:50:22You want to go for a bike ride after this?
00:50:24Yeah.
00:50:25What are we having for supper?
00:50:29I don't know.
00:50:36Um...
00:50:37I'm not allowed to stay for supper.
00:50:47Your dad and I are, um...
00:50:51in a difficult place.
00:50:53We're going to, uh, get a divorce.
00:51:04And the judge says that Dad is the one who's gonna stay with you for a while.
00:51:10It's nobody's fault.
00:51:12You're not gonna lose either one of us, okay?
00:51:19And...
00:51:21we're both here for you.
00:51:24We both love you.
00:51:25We're just caught living in different houses from now on.
00:51:34But...
00:51:36we're both...
00:51:38still gonna be your parents.
00:51:39We're both still gonna...
00:51:41do things together.
00:51:43No!
00:51:45No!
00:51:47No!
00:51:48No!
00:51:49No!
00:51:51No!
00:51:56What are you doing?
00:51:57No!
00:51:58Charlie?
00:52:00No!
00:52:01No!
00:52:10Go away! Go away!
00:52:13Why are you getting a divorce?
00:52:19Because.
00:52:24Johnny. Johnny, open up.
00:52:32Johnny. Johnny, please open up.
00:52:35I want to talk to you. Please.
00:52:40Mommy's gotta go, Johnny.
00:52:46Listen, it isn't always gonna be like this.
00:52:50The court just needs time to figure out how it's gonna arrange things.
00:52:55How can a court decide how to arrange things? It doesn't even know us.
00:52:59It's the law.
00:53:01And when two people get a divorce, they have to obey the laws.
00:53:05They hate the laws.
00:53:07I'll call you tonight.
00:53:10And tomorrow, before you go to school.
00:53:13And I'll see you Saturday.
00:53:16And I'll come to you game Friday, okay?
00:53:19We're gonna work it out.
00:53:21We're gonna work it out.
00:53:22I promise, we're gonna work it out.
00:53:24This is all Dad's fault.
00:53:38Mommy! Mommy!
00:53:40Goodbye, sweetie.
00:53:41Goodbye, sweetie.
00:53:42She's gotta go.
00:53:43She's gotta go.
00:53:44She's gotta go.
00:53:45Johnny. Johnny.
00:53:46Joanna?
00:53:47Just wanna go.
00:53:48John.
00:53:49John.
00:53:50John.
00:53:51You're all right.
00:53:54He's gonna lie.
00:53:55He's gonna lie.
00:53:56He's gonna lie.
00:53:57He's gonna lie.
00:54:01You know, he's gonna lie.
00:54:02He's gonna lie.
00:54:03You know.
00:54:04Let's go.
00:54:05Let's go.
00:54:06Let's go.
00:54:07Let's go.
00:54:08Let's go.
00:54:09Here, Katie, Katie.
00:54:10Okay.
00:54:11Be careful.
00:54:12Hurry up!
00:54:31Hi.
00:54:32Oh, hi.
00:54:33Excuse me, but how do you, uh, rent a lighthouse?
00:54:41Doesn't the lighthouse keeper have to live here?
00:54:43Well, not after they're decommissioned.
00:54:45Did you, uh, see my ad?
00:54:47No.
00:54:50No, I just came out here to think.
00:54:54I've been sort of, uh, decommissioned myself.
00:55:00I-I need a place to live.
00:55:02Well, take a look around if you like.
00:55:04My client's not due for another 15 minutes.
00:55:07Sure.
00:55:08Thanks.
00:55:09It's a great place.
00:55:10It's a great place.
00:55:11Hello?
00:55:12Mommy, Daddy and Johnny are fighting bad.
00:55:16What?
00:55:17I don't want supper.
00:55:18Leave me alone.
00:55:19Johnny?
00:55:20Leave me alone.
00:55:21I'm gonna sit down and do as I say, young man.
00:55:22Stop it.
00:55:23It shouldn't be you who gets the house.
00:55:24Mom should.
00:55:25She shouldn't have to live in a hotel.
00:55:26Knock it off!
00:55:27Kinky, supper!
00:55:28Johnny, you've got five seconds.
00:55:29Do you hear me?
00:55:30You've got five seconds to get back to the house.
00:55:31I don't want supper.
00:55:32I don't want supper.
00:55:33Leave me alone.
00:55:34Johnny?
00:55:35Leave me alone.
00:55:36I'm gonna sit down and do as I say, young man.
00:55:39Stop it.
00:55:40Stop it.
00:55:41It shouldn't be you who gets the house.
00:55:44Mom should.
00:55:45She shouldn't have to live in a hotel.
00:55:47Knock it off!
00:55:48Kinky, supper!
00:55:50Johnny, you've got five seconds.
00:55:55Do you hear me?
00:55:56You've got five seconds to get back in here.
00:55:57Five seconds.
00:55:58Honey, Kinky.
00:56:00Honey, talk to me.
00:56:01What's going on?
00:56:02Come on.
00:56:03Supper.
00:56:04I don't want to eat supper.
00:56:05I want you to come home.
00:56:06I can't come home.
00:56:08But I could talk to you and Johnny on the phone.
00:56:11As long as you want.
00:56:12Honey?
00:56:13Maybe you should put Daddy on the phone.
00:56:15Kinky, I want you to put the phone down and come in here and eat supper.
00:56:17Who are you talking to?
00:56:18Mom.
00:56:19Claire, she'll call you after supper.
00:56:22Dennis, what is going on?
00:56:32Get this.
00:56:33I had to drive Adam to school this morning.
00:56:35He missed the bus again.
00:56:37But when we got there, he jumped out of the car and I rolled down the window and I yelled,
00:56:41I love you, Adam.
00:56:42He looked back at me and went, good.
00:56:44He's gone.
00:56:47You know, I still don't get how Dennis can do this legally.
00:57:00I'm wondering if he really wants the kids or he's just using them for protection.
00:57:07From what?
00:57:08For avoiding getting on with his own life.
00:57:12He wants to win.
00:57:14Taking the kids and the money would be winning.
00:57:19He wants to hurt me.
00:57:21Oh, he doesn't know what he wants, Claire.
00:57:24He's lost.
00:57:25And this didn't just happen overnight.
00:57:27You two are on totally different wavelengths.
00:57:30Yeah, but we wanted it to work.
00:57:32Honey, whatever you wanted, you left way behind in the dust.
00:57:37Maybe it didn't happen consciously, but you've both chosen to move beyond old dreams.
00:57:53Thanks for meeting me here.
00:57:56I can't stay inside anymore.
00:57:58I just lose it.
00:58:00Fine.
00:58:01I'm happy to be out myself.
00:58:03So I've been reading about this evaluation and the only thing I want to make sure of is that the kids won't have to come to court.
00:58:12They don't, usually.
00:58:14But the judge may want to speak to them in his chambers.
00:58:17But what if he asks them to choose between Dennis and me?
00:58:22That would be terrible for them, Carter.
00:58:25Isn't there some way not to involve them?
00:58:28There are three ways, actually.
00:58:31You can give the kids to Dennis.
00:58:33He can give them to you.
00:58:35Or you can agree on joint custody.
00:58:39Can the judge award joint custody?
00:58:41Yes.
00:58:42But if it's a nasty debate and the case goes to trial, the kids usually go to the non-working parent,
00:58:48to the one who stays at home and takes care of them.
00:58:51And the money usually follows the kids.
00:58:54I feel like I'm being punished.
00:58:57Well, you are, in a way.
00:59:00Family law is still stuck in a criminal view of divorce.
00:59:04Let's find out who killed the marriage and punished them.
00:59:07But we didn't kill the marriage, neither Dennis nor I.
00:59:10The marriage just died.
00:59:12Claire, it doesn't matter what the truth is.
00:59:15If you don't fight Dennis, if you don't make him seem like the bad guy somehow, he could get the children.
00:59:21And child support and maintenance.
00:59:23Is that what you want?
00:59:25I don't want any of this.
00:59:27Unfortunately, marriage is not like other contracts in my experience.
00:59:32As soon as one person wants out, it's over.
00:59:36Okay.
00:59:37Tell me what to do, Carter.
00:59:42You fight not to get ruined financially.
00:59:47And you fight to get as much time with your kids as you can.
00:59:51You know the drill, leave your name and message after you hear the tone.
00:59:58Don't hang up.
00:59:59Hey Alice, it's Claire.
01:00:02Listen, pretty funny.
01:00:04Our accountant called today to tell me he had to stay neutral.
01:00:08Because the last time he got involved in a divorce case, he got sued.
01:00:14So I fired him.
01:00:17I knew you would enjoy that.
01:00:20Okay, gotta go, bye.
01:00:25Hello?
01:00:26Claire, it's me.
01:00:28The police are here.
01:00:31I think you better get over here right away.
01:00:33The police?
01:00:55Hello?
01:00:56Mom.
01:00:57They're taking Johnny away.
01:00:58Hi, baby.
01:00:59Hi, Johnny.
01:01:00Hi.
01:01:01Mrs. Raphael?
01:01:02Yes?
01:01:03I'm Pat Jenkins.
01:01:04I'm the county juvenile officer.
01:01:05Can we talk in the kitchen?
01:01:06Yeah, sure.
01:01:07Okay, go eat with Dad.
01:01:09Okay.
01:01:10What on earth happened?
01:01:11Your son called the county abuse hotline.
01:01:12He's asked to be removed from the home.
01:01:13What on earth happened?
01:01:14He claims that your husband's abusing him.
01:01:15My husband's abusing him.
01:01:16My husband never hit Johnny.
01:01:17He's a very juvenile officer.
01:01:18I'm a very juvenile officer.
01:01:19Can we talk in the kitchen?
01:01:20Can we talk in the kitchen?
01:01:21Yeah, sure.
01:01:22Okay, go eat with Dad.
01:01:23Okay.
01:01:24What on earth happened?
01:01:25Your son called the county abuse hotline.
01:01:26He's asked to be removed from the home.
01:01:27He claims that your husband's abusing him.
01:01:29My husband never hit Johnny ever in his entire life.
01:01:34Can I get a drink of water?
01:01:35Yes, of course, help yourself.
01:01:36Okay, what's this about?
01:01:38I mean, what did you do?
01:01:40Mr. Raphael, what did you do with your husband?
01:01:42Go.
01:01:43What happened in your house?
01:01:44Mr. Raphael, what did you do?
01:01:47Mr. Raphael, what did you do?
01:01:48Mr. Raphael, what did you do?
01:01:49Mr. Raphael, what did you do?
01:01:52of water yes of course help yourself okay what's this about i mean what did you do i didn't do
01:02:01anything i assumed you put him up to it why would i do that to prove that i'm a bad father i had
01:02:06nothing to do with this did you say something did you punish i didn't do anything claire
01:02:17our son just calls the police i find that hard to believe i think it was a child abuse
01:02:22program at school that gave me idea oh a child abuse program yeah claire we are both in trouble
01:02:27here they could take him away from us that's exactly what you were trying to do to me this has
01:02:33nothing to do with that the court will say we're unfit parents that's exactly what you told the
01:02:38judge about me dennis do you want her to take johnny away no i don't want any of this i wanted a
01:02:46husband i wanted a marriage i wanted a family and our son apparently feels the same way i'm not
01:02:53sure how to proceed here we've never had a child ask for protection when there's no charge of physical
01:02:57abuse does johnny want to come and live with me you're not taking him claire living with me has
01:03:05got to be better than a foster home dennis jesus christ i mean is that where you would take my son
01:03:13if we take him into custody i don't know where the judge will put him exactly it could be a detention
01:03:19center can i go talk to mom is that why you did this to get your mom to come over i already told you
01:03:29why i did it my dad is making me crazy he's making me want to break things you know hurt people
01:03:37like he hurt you tell me how he hurt you did he hit you no
01:03:50so he didn't abuse you physically is that right
01:04:00i can't stay here i can't you have to johnny i may be wrong here but i get the feeling that what
01:04:07you're trying to do is get your folks back together what is it you want here johnny do you want to go
01:04:13downtown because if what you want to do is to get the custody order changed the juvenile judge he can't
01:04:20do that the only choice he can make is to take you away from both your parents do you know what you want
01:04:38i don't want them to fight over me i don't want to be the prize like whoever wins gets to take care
01:04:43of me i don't like what dad did to mom to kiki and me throwing her out like that but that wasn't
01:04:48your dad that was the judge yeah but it was dad who asked him to wasn't it
01:04:54go on
01:04:57i don't like it that we're with you more than mom
01:05:00it should be the same and you should pick straws or something for the house it shouldn't just go
01:05:05to dad because he thought of it first it ought to be fair is what i'm saying to both of you
01:05:12i think i better call my lawyer if everybody wants to call lawyers we might as well take
01:05:16johnny into protective custody right now no wait a minute wait
01:05:20ah can't we find a solution that keeps johnny home
01:05:23i'm sorry it's rona
01:05:34hello rona
01:05:39oh
01:05:41okay
01:05:47what is it mommy
01:05:48my mommy just died
01:05:59she just died
01:06:05i'm really sorry mom
01:06:08thank you johnny
01:06:13i'm sorry that daddy and i are putting you through this
01:06:18i really am
01:06:39was she sick long
01:06:42a while yeah
01:06:43It must have been tough on her, having to go through all this while her mom was dying.
01:06:53Dad, I want to go to Nana's funeral.
01:06:57What is your mom saying?
01:06:59She said she wants me to come, but it was up to you to let me go.
01:07:04Do we have to ask the judge's permission for him to be with his mom?
01:07:08No. Since you have custody, you can make that decision.
01:07:11If that's what everybody wants, we can all go home.
01:07:18Come on.
01:07:29Johnny says he wants to go to the funeral.
01:07:32I'd like that.
01:07:34I don't want to be by myself.
01:07:38Can he, uh, come with me?
01:07:41Spend the night.
01:07:48Sure.
01:07:49Can I spend the night, too?
01:07:53Okay.
01:07:57Come on.
01:08:01Are you okay to drive, ma'am?
01:08:04Yeah, sure. We'll be fine.
01:08:07Night, Dad.
01:08:08Good.
01:08:10Good, sweetie.
01:08:15I'll see you.
01:08:16Bye, Johnny.
01:08:16Bye, Dad.
01:08:17Bye.
01:08:27Bye, thanks.
01:08:28We'll see you guys.
01:08:29Bye.
01:08:32Bye.
01:08:41Bye.
01:08:43Bye.
01:08:43Bye.
01:08:43Bye.
01:08:43Bye.
01:08:44Bye.
01:08:44Bye.
01:08:45Bye.
01:08:46Is this where you live now?
01:08:56Mm-hmm.
01:08:57I was hoping to have it painted before you got here, but...
01:09:00It's so neat!
01:09:06Thanks for not being mad at me.
01:09:09Thanks for not being mad at me.
01:09:12I love you, you know.
01:09:14I love you more.
01:09:17Thanks.
01:09:24Wow.
01:09:26Mom, my room is the best!
01:09:28Mine is better!
01:09:32How about if I, uh, I make us some vanilla milk?
01:09:35I should make it.
01:09:37You know you're sad about your mom.
01:09:40It's okay.
01:09:41I like having something to do.
01:09:44We'll come with you.
01:09:45Let's see.
01:09:49Let's see.
01:09:50That would be very high-pennant.
01:10:04Hey, sailor, you come here often?
01:10:18I said, come in before.
01:10:19I thought maybe you wanted to be by yourself.
01:10:23Dennis.
01:10:26Dennis.
01:10:28Dennis, talk to me.
01:10:32Come on.
01:10:34I don't know what's going on with me.
01:10:36I'm, uh...
01:10:39Yeah, well, we all go through that sometimes.
01:10:44You know, we all spend a little time in the penalty box, you know?
01:10:47You know when you asked me why I hadn't put anything together in business?
01:10:51I didn't have the guts to tell you.
01:10:53Tell me what?
01:10:55In the last couple of years, I've been up for three decent positions.
01:11:00Big firms, upper management, all the perks.
01:11:04I didn't know.
01:11:05Here you go, sir.
01:11:06Yep.
01:11:08Lost them all.
01:11:10Two to kids nearly half my age and one in negotiations over what I was worth.
01:11:17So you pick yourself up and you go back out there.
01:11:19What else can you do?
01:11:20Come on.
01:11:20No, I'm lost.
01:11:26I think I'm afraid to go back out there.
01:11:28You know, when you and Claire started to make it big, the Mr. Mom thing got comfortable.
01:11:38And I thought I did it well.
01:11:41Even though every time Claire came through the door, she redid everything her way.
01:11:45This may surprise you.
01:11:54But for the first time in my life, I don't feel needed.
01:11:59Not by Claire, not by the kids.
01:12:04And I don't like it.
01:12:07And it's tearing me up.
01:12:09All the animals cheered.
01:12:19And after that, hair never laughed at tortoise again.
01:12:21I like it here.
01:12:25I like it here, too.
01:12:27Nobody else's mom lives in a lighthouse.
01:12:30Is that a good thing?
01:12:31Yeah, it's cool.
01:12:33Wish Nana could have seen it.
01:12:36I wish you had known her better.
01:12:38She would have loved it here.
01:12:43Well, maybe once in a while, Dad can live in the boathouse.
01:12:46Just sometimes.
01:12:49Maybe he could go to the funeral.
01:12:51Me, too.
01:12:54Mom wouldn't want him there.
01:12:57Would you?
01:12:59Is he going to be mad at me for, like, the rest of my life?
01:13:01No.
01:13:03No.
01:13:06But I could ask him to the funeral if you want me to.
01:13:10Is that okay?
01:13:12Daddy and I are your family.
01:13:14And we'll still be your family whether we're divorced or not.
01:13:17And when somebody dies in your family, you need who's ever left.
01:13:23A child charging his parent with abuse, trying to get his custody changed?
01:13:30I've never heard of such a thing.
01:13:32Why didn't you call me?
01:13:34We can sue the county on this, I'll bet.
01:13:35Do you think she put him up to it?
01:13:40This could cost your wife a fortune.
01:13:42She didn't put him up to it.
01:13:44I think all three of them are pretty upset with the way I...
01:13:47We handled this.
01:13:49Well, it's okay for her to be upset.
01:13:51Kids have nothing to do with divorce.
01:13:54Now, the first thing we have to do is get a restraining order on that funeral trip.
01:13:58Mr. Raphael, for all you know, she may be planning on taking them out of the country and you'll never see them again.
01:14:04Do we know for a fact the mother's actually dead?
01:14:07Now, that's a little out of line.
01:14:10Jimmy, come on in here for a sec.
01:14:11Didn't you have a case last year where a kid tried to have his own lawyer?
01:14:15Look, stop it.
01:14:16I've had it with this vindictive, merciless crap.
01:14:19All right?
01:14:20There's been a death in the family.
01:14:21We need to show some respect.
01:14:23Now, I'm going to go pick up Kiki so that Claire and Johnny can get to the airport.
01:14:26I don't want you to do another thing until you hear from me.
01:14:29Is that Claire?
01:14:38Hi.
01:14:40Hi.
01:14:43Well, this is, uh, quite a place.
01:14:49Different.
01:14:51Mm-hmm.
01:14:53Listen.
01:14:53Kiki wants to come to the funeral.
01:14:59I'm not surprised.
01:15:03They want you to come also.
01:15:09They do?
01:15:10They need both of us.
01:15:15What about you?
01:15:16Won't that make you feel uncomfortable having me there?
01:15:18Probably.
01:15:21But I'm willing to try.
01:15:23You want to come?
01:15:24Of course I do.
01:15:26Look at his face.
01:15:27I look so eager.
01:15:30Oh, look at Mom.
01:15:32She looks so beautiful.
01:15:34She had some meat then.
01:15:35Look what you got there.
01:15:36You got a pair of them, right?
01:15:37Put those down there.
01:15:38Use that one there.
01:15:39No, no, no.
01:15:40I already used that.
01:15:41I think I should really buy them.
01:15:41No, put that.
01:15:42Use that one.
01:15:42Okay, go.
01:15:43There's my giraffe.
01:15:44Can I go to two?
01:15:45I'm going to go to your dad.
01:15:46There's a bedroom over the garage if you want it.
01:16:16Okay, thanks.
01:16:20Okay, you guys.
01:16:20Don't forget your homework.
01:16:21I'm going to go sleep in the backyard.
01:16:23Backyard?
01:16:24Just check and see if you're paying attention.
01:16:27Okay, so before Ted goes and checks into the backyard,
01:16:31I really wanted to thank you all for being here.
01:16:34It's okay, Mom.
01:16:36We'll see you later.
01:16:36Bye, Ed.
01:16:37Come on, Dennis.
01:16:37I'll get you set up in the garage.
01:16:39Okay, thanks.
01:16:41Okay, come on.
01:16:42Homework.
01:16:42Hi.
01:17:01I'm sorry about you, Mom.
01:17:02I'd like to think if I had known it was this close
01:17:11that I would have waited on this whole thing,
01:17:13but I don't know.
01:17:17I'm not so sure that I would have.
01:17:21I wasn't thinking about you.
01:17:22I wasn't thinking about you either.
01:17:27Why should you?
01:17:28I let you down.
01:17:29You didn't let me down.
01:17:30Yes, I did.
01:17:32You didn't.
01:17:32Yes, I did, Clara.
01:17:33Do you know that I was never happy
01:17:38selling stocks and bonds,
01:17:40no matter how much I tried
01:17:41to convince myself otherwise?
01:17:44Do you know that?
01:17:45I got fired for all the right reasons.
01:17:47I was doing a lousy job.
01:17:50It's not that I didn't want another position.
01:17:57I couldn't get one, Claire.
01:17:59So I blamed you for not being sympathetic.
01:18:04I blamed you for catching all the breaks.
01:18:06I blamed you for your success.
01:18:09It wasn't just my success.
01:18:11It was our success.
01:18:13All of us.
01:18:16I couldn't see it that way.
01:18:20You know,
01:18:21I know now that while the business means a lot to me,
01:18:26it pales in comparison
01:18:30in the way I feel for you and the children.
01:18:37I have to start over.
01:18:40You know...
01:18:4915 years.
01:18:51We built so many good things.
01:18:56I don't want to lose you.
01:19:01I don't.
01:19:05I...
01:19:05I can't breathe when I'm with you, Claire.
01:19:17I can't do anything with you looking over my shoulder.
01:19:19It makes me feel...
01:19:24Diminished.
01:19:30I have to do this alone.
01:19:34I still want the divorce.
01:19:41Okay.
01:19:41I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord.
01:19:50He that believeth in me,
01:19:52though he were dead,
01:19:53yet shall he live.
01:19:55And whosoever liveth and believeth in me
01:19:57shall never die.
01:19:59In sure and certain hope of the resurrection
01:20:01to eternal life,
01:20:02through our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:20:04we recommend to Almighty God
01:20:06our sister Constance.
01:20:08and we commit her body to the ground,
01:20:11earth to earth,
01:20:13ashes to ashes,
01:20:15dust to dust.
01:20:17The Lord bless her and keep her.
01:20:20The Lord make his face to shine upon her
01:20:22and be gracious unto her.
01:20:24The Lord lift up his countenance upon her
01:20:27and give her peace.
01:20:30Amen.
01:20:30Amen.
01:20:30Come on, Nick.
01:20:36Over here.
01:20:37Pass it.
01:20:42Dad,
01:20:42want to come play?
01:20:43Okay, okay.
01:20:45Certainly.
01:20:46Nick.
01:20:51It's weird, Dennis, being here.
01:20:53Nick.
01:20:54It's just the beginning of weird.
01:20:55We've got birthdays,
01:20:59Christmas,
01:21:01graduations.
01:21:02I'm sorry, Claire.
01:21:04I really am.
01:21:06And I'm sorry for being so distant
01:21:08all these years.
01:21:09It's just,
01:21:11no matter what I do,
01:21:12I never seem to stand as tall
01:21:14in my shoes as you look in yours.
01:21:17Standing too tall in my shoes
01:21:18just ended my marriage.
01:21:20wish you could stay here
01:21:26a couple days
01:21:27to let this sink in.
01:21:31I saw Mom every day.
01:21:32I was ready for her death.
01:21:34You weren't.
01:21:37Forgive me, Rona,
01:21:38for not being here with you or Mom.
01:21:42Oh.
01:21:43I don't know.
01:21:45Maybe.
01:21:46Only if you invite me
01:21:48to come see you get your award.
01:21:51I would love for you to be there.
01:22:02Well, I must say
01:22:04that I'm pleased to see
01:22:05that you're trying
01:22:06to settle this through mediation.
01:22:09But you do realize
01:22:10that anything agreed here
01:22:12must be approved by the court.
01:22:14We're aware of that.
01:22:15Can we start?
01:22:18We both know what would be fair.
01:22:20Well, then, perhaps
01:22:22you should begin.
01:22:28Let's start with your business.
01:22:33I'm not going to make
01:22:34any claim on that.
01:22:35It's yours.
01:22:39All right.
01:22:41And I've asked my mother
01:22:41for a loan
01:22:42until I get a job,
01:22:43so I probably won't need
01:22:44anything else from you
01:22:45other than my share
01:22:45of the house.
01:22:51Take the house.
01:22:53That would help a lot.
01:22:55And the kids?
01:22:56Well, I'm prepared to...
01:22:58No.
01:22:58Shh.
01:23:00That's a responsibility
01:23:01we should share.
01:23:03I'd like that.
01:23:08We're going to try
01:23:08each of us taking you
01:23:09a week at a time,
01:23:10everything even.
01:23:11And on your birthdays,
01:23:12we'll both see you.
01:23:14And you'll see both of us
01:23:15on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
01:23:17Who will take us
01:23:18to the doctor?
01:23:19Whoever has you
01:23:20when the appointment comes.
01:23:21Well, what if one of you
01:23:22gets sick?
01:23:23Will the other come
01:23:24and take care of you?
01:23:25We'll both do
01:23:26what you need.
01:23:27Okay?
01:23:29And for the rest of it,
01:23:31we'll just have to figure it out
01:23:32as we go along.
01:23:34You ready, guys?
01:23:35Ready.
01:23:36Bye.
01:23:41Bye.
01:23:42I love you.
01:23:43Bye, Mom.
01:23:46See you.
01:23:54Yes!
01:23:55All right, let's go.
01:24:02Go, go, go, go, go, go.
01:24:03Great!
01:24:03Johnny, Johnny, Johnny!
01:24:09Don't, Mom,
01:24:09it upsets him.
01:24:11It does?
01:24:12No, it doesn't.
01:24:13He likes hearing me up here.
01:24:14Let's go.
01:24:15Great, great, great.
01:24:16That was last month.
01:24:17And I was embarrassed.
01:24:19Who knew?
01:24:22There's Sarah.
01:24:24Can I go see her?
01:24:25Yeah.
01:24:25Hi, Sarah.
01:24:28Hi, Aunt Rona.
01:24:31Hi, Sarah.
01:24:31Yes, Come on up, Blue.
01:24:33Underneath, underneath.
01:24:33Come on, Blue.
01:24:34Let's go.
01:24:36Ready, Blue?
01:24:37Break, break, break, break, break.
01:24:39Now, now, Johnny, take it.
01:24:40Over the mic.
01:24:42Yes!
01:24:56Oh, God.
01:24:59award to the local business person who has most successfully navigated the
01:25:03dangerous waters of commerce and arrived with style and substance on the shores
01:25:08of survival. A little hyperbole goes a long way. This year that award goes to
01:25:16the woman who has created this world of beautiful furniture in which we now
01:25:20stand. Ladies and gentlemen, here she is, Claire Raphael, Woman of the Year.
01:25:29Thank you very much. Thank you. The credit goes to my friends and family. They know who
01:25:43they are. And I couldn't have created this if it wasn't for each and every one of you.
01:25:48Thank you. This has also been an extraordinary team effort. And we've made record sales here
01:25:58in Boston this year. And with our new branch in Seattle doing so well, I must say that I am
01:26:07looking forward to the brightest of futures. So thank you all for coming. I appreciate it.
01:26:13Stay tuned. Next on True Movies One. Roots. The Next Generations. Part Six.
