00:00:42Keep your hand on the ball.
00:00:43That's OK.
00:00:44It just started.
00:00:45That's it.
00:00:46Get back.
00:00:47Get back.
00:00:48Get back.
00:00:49Get back.
00:00:50Come on.
00:00:51It's a big time.
00:00:52OK, Johnny.
00:00:53OK, Johnny.
00:00:54I'm going to get him.
00:00:55Take it.
00:00:56Look at the open man.
00:00:57Get in there.

00:01:04Go!
00:01:05Go!
00:01:06All right!
00:01:07Come on, get your phone.
00:01:10Our primary catch on these!
00:01:12All right, all right!
00:01:14Hey, Will.
00:01:15Yes!
00:01:16I want work?
00:01:19Heads up!
00:01:20Are you serious?
00:01:22No, I don't believe it.
00:01:23They never give it to anybody in retail.
00:01:26The keynote, too?
00:01:28Cool.
00:01:29Brody, this is great for us.
00:01:31Johnny's got the ball, I gotta go.
00:01:32I'll see you in the morning.
00:01:33Bye!
00:01:34Yeah, Johnny!
00:01:35Woo!
00:01:36That's it!
00:01:37That's it!
00:01:38Yes!
00:01:45I'm riding with Mom.
00:01:47I'm riding with Mom, you were over there last time.
00:01:50You can both ride with Mom, Dad doesn't mind, okay?
00:01:53You got anything to eat at home?
00:01:54Chili.
00:01:55Yes!
00:01:56All right, well, I'll see you there.
00:01:58All right, go in the car.
00:01:59Hey, wait a minute!
00:02:00I 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, I 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.
00:02:32I traded for Adam's cold pizza.
00:02:35Yuck.
00:02:36Oh, really, the both of you.
00:02:38Cold pizza's the best.
00:02:39Stop it.
00:02:40It is.
00:02:41Warm pizza's way better, Johnny.
00:02:43No, cold pizza's better.
00:02:45Are we having company tonight?
00:02:47Yeah.
00:02:48There they are.
00:02:49Howdy, neighbors.
00:02:50Hey, Anna.
00:02:51What's up?
00:02:52Hey, Alice.
00:02:53Oh, don't ask.
00:02:54Oh.
00:02:55Hey, Steve, how are you?
00:02:56How are you doing, Danny?
00:02:57Good to see you.
00:02:58So, is your mother getting any better?
00:03:00Well, Rona says she's holding her own.
00:03:02If we were closer, I'd be able to read her better, but...
00:03:04You know, my sister, Rona, she's holding her own.
00:03:07She's holding her own.
00:03:09She's holding her own.
00:03:10She's holding her own.
00:03:11She's holding her own.
00:03:12She's holding her own.
00:03:13She's holding her own.
00:03:14She's holding her own.
00:03:15You know, my sister, Rona.
00:03:18Mother and martyr of the year.
00:03:20Hm.
00:03:21Well, it doesn't matter, because I get to go to Seattle tomorrow
00:03:24to open up the new store, so I'll get to see her for myself.
00:03:27Well, that's good.
00:03:28Yeah.
00:03:29Cancer's hell.
00:03:31What we went through with my mother...
00:03:33Listen, if you ever need anyone to talk to...
00:03:39Thanks, Alice.
00:03:40You're the best.
00:03:41Oh.
00:03:42Let's go, guys.
00:03:43Bye.
00:03:44Bye, Claire.
00:03:45Thanks.
00:03:46You call me.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:48Bye, Dennis.
00:03:49Bye.
00:03:50You gotta love Alice.
00:03:51She really speaks her mind.
00:03:55What's wrong?
00:03:57I thought we said we weren't gonna have people over on school nights anymore.
00:04:01Well, they're redoing their kitchen.
00:04:03Bye.
00:04:04They didn't have a place to eat.
00:04:05All the restaurants are closed.
00:04:06You know, we make these agreements, and then you just do whatever you want.
00:04:18Bye.
00:04:19Bye.
00:04:27Good night.
00:04:29Good night, stars.
00:04:30Good night, lightning bugs and jars.
00:04:33I'm sorry I have to go back to Seattle tomorrow.
00:04:36I'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.
00:04:46Can I go with you to Seattle?
00:04:48I 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...
00:04:54Forget it.
00:04:55Kids never get what they want.
00:04:57Excuse me?
00:05:00You get everything that you want.
00:05:02I didn't get the red bike I really wanted for Christmas.
00:05:05I 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 down.
00:05:20Good night.
00:05:21Love you.
00:05:22Thank you, Dad.
00:05:23Good night, sweetie.
00:05:25Okay.
00:05:26Good night, baby.
00:05:27That was a good game today, buddy.
00:05:29It was.
00:05:31Thanks, Dad.
00:05:32It really was.
00:05:33We 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.
00:05:50Okay, I want to know everything that he said.
00:05:52Good night, Johnny.
00:05:53Good night, Dad.
00:05:54No.
00:05:55He said that?
00:05:56You've got to be kidding me.
00:05:58Really?
00:05:59How did he know he did that kind of business last year?
00:06:02Wow.
00:06:05Oh, my goodness.
00:06:07Yeah.
00:06:08What else?
00:06:10No.
00:06:12Really?
00:06:13Oh, cool.
00:06:14And tomorrow?
00:06:15Is everything okay?
00:06:16Are you sure I can't change your mind?
00:06:18Oh, I'm really flattered.
00:06:21Oh, come on now.
00:06:22You've got to eat, right?
00:06:24Well, what about the next one?
00:06:25Sorry.
00:06:26Another early morning pick-up.
00:06:27Here.
00:06:28All right.
00:06:29Well, look.
00:06:30How about I call you and we'll...
00:06:31Claire.
00:06:32I'm not doing very well with all of this.
00:06:33Look.
00:06:35All right, well, look, how about I call you, and we'll...
00:06:42Claire, I'm not doing very well with all of this.
00:07:00Look, I know you're upset that I'm leaving again.
00:07:03So am I. I don't want to go.
00:07:07But I've got obligations, and it's a chance for me to see my mom.
00:07:15Come on, we've been through this in therapy.
00:07:18I take a business trip, you get upset, we fight.
00:07:21It's a pattern. We're supposed to be working on breaking that pattern.
00:07:25How can we work on it when you keep missing the sessions?
00:07:28And I've told you how sorry I am.
00:07:31Yeah, that's true, you have.
00:07:38Look, we're not going to be able to solve anything tonight.
00:07:42And it's late, and 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.
00:08:04That's for the show of your genius, you know.
00:08:07Hey, Rudy.
00:08:08Dennis Raphael on Willow.
00:08:12Got another leak under the sink.
00:08:14Hey, big sis, our plane arrives at 12.15, so Brody and I will just meet you at the store, okay?
00:08:19Bye.
00:08:19Love you.
00:08:20Kiss mom.
00:08:21I don't know, it could be either the water, pure, fire, the disposal, or the sink.
00:08:24You take your pick.
00:08:26Apple, orange, banana?
00:08:27Apple.
00:08:28No brown spots.
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 no good.
00:08:33I've got to pick up my kids at school.
00:08:34I 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.
00:08:42Kiki, don't forget these cupcakes, okay?
00:08:44We made them for the bake sale.
00:08:46Oh my god, I gotta 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.
00:08:56Kiki, kiki.
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 nine.
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.
00:09:07Hi, 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.
00:09:17Make 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.
00:09:28Oh, let me get your 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.
00:09:37Can 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?
00:09:47I 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.
00:10:02Come 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, honey.
00:10:10Love you.
00:10:12Bye, guys.
00:10:12Bye-bye.
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.
00:10:28It's good.
00:10:29I love those flowers.
00:10:30Great lighting, Bella.
00:10:33You remembered.
00:10:34You guys did such an amazing job.
00:10:37I 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?
00:11:13Well, you know, mothers stayed home to take care of their children,
00:11:16and grown children stayed home to take care of their mothers.
00:11:19Hello, hello, everyone.
00:11:23Folks, I'd like to introduce you now to the president, the founder,
00:11:27and the creative head of Claire Raphael Designs.
00:11:30She's my partner.
00:11:31She's my friend.
00:11:31She also signs the checks.
00:11:33Claire Raphael.
00:11:34I'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,
00:11:52which just happens to be here in Seattle.
00:11:55My mom and sister Rona's adopted hometown.
00:11:58And also to introduce to you what we feel is a line of innovative furniture
00:12:06that will add grace, comfort, and style to your home for years to come.
00:12:14I 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.
00:12:25I 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,
00:12:36and I need your 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.
00:12:50I, 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.
00:13:04Jeez.
00:13:05Claire.
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, Ro.
00:13:11I do.
00:13:12I just can't be away for two more weeks.
00:13:15Dennis is all over me as it is.
00:13:17The timing is impossible.
00:13:18Look, I'll, um, I'll stay with her all day tomorrow.
00:13:22I'll, I'll even sleep over if she wants to.
00:13:25And I just really hoped you could help me on this one.
00:13:32Mom, you're still so beautiful.
00:13:34Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
00:13:38My 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.
00:13:50I'm gonna leave you two alone.
00:13:52God knows mom sees enough of me.
00:13:54Bye, dear.
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:56All right.
00:13:57I'll take a cab back to the hotel.
00:13:59I'll call you tonight.
00:14:00Okay.
00:14:00Bye.
00:14:02Oh.
00:14:04So good to see you, honey.
00:14:06How you doing, mom?
00:14:07It's hard.
00:14:11I'm not able to do much, but lie, hear, and think.
00:14:17Like you.
00:14:18I was always so busy.
00:14:21It's frustrating.
00:14:22All the things I wanted to do in life didn't.
00:14:27You did tons, starting way back when daddy died.
00:14:33You were the one who kept us afloat.
00:14:35Oh.
00:14:36I 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.
00:15:09I 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.
00:15:26And 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.
00:15:47Ignore her.
00:15:47Ah, there you are.
00:15:51Time for your radiation.
00:15:53Oh, 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.
00:16:13Earth to Claire.
00:16:15Where'd you go?
00:16:16You remember when you and Dennis started at Paine 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.
00:16:36Because we didn't know nothing.
00:16:37Oh, we knew we were in love.
00:16:41Knew our parents were healthy.
00:16:45We knew we were building a future.
00:16:50Don't worry about you, Mom.
00:16:52If she's anything like her daughter, she'll be just fine.
00:16:54I 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, the 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.
00:17:16Hi, there.
00:17:24Where's the kids?
00:17:27They're at my mom's.
00:17:28How come?
00:17:30I didn't want them here tonight.
00:17:34Okay.
00:17:37Is this some kind of romantic surprise?
00:17:41It's a really great idea.
00:17:43I'm going to 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?
00:18:08Probate Family Court, Suffolk Division, Boston, Massachusetts.
00:18:13You are ordered as file pending the hearing, or until further notice of the court, it is
00:18:26ordered that Dennis Raphael is to have temporary custody of John and Clara, Kate Raphael, the
00:18:33wife, Claire Raphael, is to vacate the marital premises?
00:18:36What the hell is this?
00:18:39Some kind of joke to drive home the fact that 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 temporary custody of the children and ordered you to move out tonight.
00:18:54Right.
00:18:55Come on, Dennis.
00:18:57What is this?
00:18:58God's sakes, Claire.
00:18:59It's right there.
00:19:00I'm suing you for divorce.
00:19:01Why won't that register?
00:19:04Because it isn't the way two rational people who have been married for 15 years behave.
00:19:10Dennis people talk to each other.
00:19:12I've tried talking.
00:19:13You can't be serious.
00:19:15I am.
00:19:16I'm very serious.
00:19:18Remember in couples therapy, we promised each other, we agreed, that 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, I had to resort to this.
00:19:39Look, you want a trial separation, that's one thing.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:51But what's this about custody of the children and in order to vacate?
00:19:59Dennis, this is my home.
00:20:03I live here.
00:20:05A divorce?
00:20:06You never said that you wanted to talk about a divorce.
00:20:12You're not a responsible mother.
00:20:14Are you crazy?
00:20:16What could you have possibly said to a judge to convince him that I'm not a responsible mother?
00:20:21Between your mother and your work, you are in a state of personal crisis.
00:20:24The children are suffering.
00:20:26Suffering?
00:20:29Suffering?
00:20:30How?
00:20:31How is that?
00:20:32You're never here, for one thing.
00:20:34And when you are here, you're so preoccupied with your work that you forget the kids.
00:20:39Forget the kids?
00:20:40Forget the kids?
00:20:41What?
00:20:42Uh, Kiki's ballet lesson?
00:20:43I lost track of time.
00:20:45What about the little accident where the children were nearly killed?
00:20:47I was hit by a man having a heart attack, for God's sake!
00:20:50It wasn't my fault!
00:20:52Yes, this is Dennis Raphael and Willow.
00:21:14We spoke earlier?
00:21:15Yep.
00:21:16Yes, right away.
00:21:17then there's you and brody working all hours of the night this is insane the only reason why

00:28:24so this is how it's gonna be i'm gonna have to lie to my kids
00:28:37claire carter petrie please come in
00:28:49i know that dennis and i can work this out he doesn't really want a divorce it's just an ill
00:29:05conceived emotional move um our counselor says that his papers don't look ill conceived
00:29:13he wants sole custody of the children child support until they're 18 and maintenance that's what we
00:29:21used to call alimony and he wants half your business he claims that with your business booming and your
00:29:28mother ill you're too busy for your family you've been gone 34 days of the last 90 you've canceled
00:29:36appointments at school you're seeing a therapist you've endangered the children oh he's talking
00:29:42about that car crash that wasn't my fault and and the therapist is seeing the both of us i i don't
00:29:49believe this this isn't dennis
00:29:50has divorce ever been discussed
00:29:55he's talked of separation but only when he's discouraged about himself it he's hired a very tough
00:30:05lawyer that may explain it although i'm seeing more and more of this attitude from men
00:30:10who whose spouses are the breadwinners i don't know what you mean men are asking for custody
00:30:18it could be some of the old what's good for the goose is good for the gander
00:30:22i see you mean men are trying to get even for the way they've been yes for the way they
00:30:30traditionally were taken to the cleaners the practice of the law as gender neutral as it tries
00:30:38to be still reflects the biases in our society this judge in your case for example the one dennis's
00:30:46lawyer has maneuvered us into having to deal with is a conservative boston catholic who is not at all
00:30:52sympathetic to working women oh great he thinks moms belong in the home and should not be working
00:30:59i am at home as much as i can and still support the family my husband doesn't bring in any income at
00:31:06all look dennis took on most of the domestic side once he lost his job
00:31:12and i thought he was happy doing it how does a judge make a decision like this after only hearing
00:31:21one side they do it all the time and my job is to make sure that he hears the other side
00:31:28when do i get to see my children we go before the judge next week you'll be in violation if you try
00:31:36to see them before they had phone contact that's all hey morning
00:31:45yep we're talking
00:31:51nope claire sent you over here oh come on i love both you guys you know that
00:31:59what's going on my lawyer told me not to talk to you well screw your lawyer
00:32:04come on dennis we know each other better than we know ourselves but i gotta tell you you've lost
00:32:11me on this one man
00:32:12i told claire it wasn't another woman is it
00:32:18my lawyer told me not to talk to you because you are claire's partner and you may end up telling
00:32:27her everything that i say that would be good right
00:32:30come on you loved each other i know that i was there i introduced you i was your best man
00:32:36yeah yeah you were there you saw it well claire doesn't think i work for anything around here
00:32:42she thinks all i do is sit around and feel sorry for myself while she's out busting her ass for the
00:32:45family yeah she has busted her ass and you've done your fair share of sitting around and feeling
00:32:49sorry for yourself i was fired and why you haven't lined anything else up is a mystery to me
00:32:54you're a bright guy you're smart you used to be driven you don't think i tried to set something
00:32:59else up you think i just sit around here and wait for the phone to ring how would i know you don't
00:33:04talk to me anymore how could i don't see you anymore since you partnered with my wife
00:33:07wow well i know that claire asked you to partner with her first but something about your ego comes
00:33:17to mind i run this house i run this house she doesn't think it's important that somebody be
00:33:25here when the kids get home what are you talking about claire was home for years and i've got a
00:33:2910 year old they don't need a nanny as much as they need a chauffeur and this is ridiculous she takes

00:40:21nor did he ever suggest to her
00:40:23that she was an unfit mother
00:40:24she had no idea
00:40:26that he was serious about wanting a divorce
00:40:29behind her back
00:40:31he came to this court
00:40:32and presented evidence
00:40:34purporting
00:40:34to show her in a state of personal crisis
00:40:37the evidence to that effect
00:40:39is filled with coincidence
00:40:41erroneous supposition
00:40:42even a few outright lies
00:40:45to put it bluntly
00:40:46he set her up
00:40:47objection your honor
00:40:49there's no proof of any setup
00:40:50and no proof against it
00:40:52mr raphael deliberately manipulated the situation
00:40:55in order to make his wife look bad
00:40:57we therefore request that the order to vacate be nullified
00:41:00and the children be returned to her care
00:41:02we are not here to try this case counsel
00:41:05what the father's affidavit says

00:41:13mrs raphael
00:41:14this is a hearing
00:41:15nothing you say has any bearing

00:42:17there's no telling what she might do
00:42:19to her husband

00:52:38Please.
00:52:45Mommy's gotta go, Johnny.
00:52:48Listen, it isn't always gonna be like this.
00:52:51The court just needs time to figure out how it's gonna arrange things.
00:52:56How can a court decide how to arrange things? It doesn't even know us.
00:53:00It's the law.
00:53:02And when two people get a divorce, they have to obey the laws.
00:53:06We hate the laws.
00:53:08I'll call you tonight.
00:53:11And tomorrow, before you go to school.
00:53:15And I'll see you Saturday.
00:53:17And I'll come to you Cape Friday, okay?
00:53:21We're gonna work it out.
00:53:23I promise, we're gonna work it out.
00:53:25This is all Dad's fault.
00:53:26I'm gonna work it out.
00:53:28And I'll...
00:53:29I'll come to you.
00:53:30I'll come to you later.
00:53:31Bye, sweetie.
00:53:32Bye, sweetie.

00:53:34She's gotta go.
00:53:35She's gotta go.
00:53:36She's gotta go.
00:53:37She's gotta go.
00:53:38Just kidding.
00:53:39Can you make it?
00:53:40I'll go.
00:53:41Bye?
00:53:42Oh, sweetie.

00:53:44She's gotta go.
00:53:45She's gotta go.
00:53:46Johnny.
00:53:47It's all right?
00:53:48I'm gonna get it.
00:54:13Here, Katie, Katie.
00:54:14Okay, be careful.
00:54:15Hurry up!
00:54:18Here, Katie.
00:54:31Hi.
00:54:32Oh, hi.
00:54:35Excuse me, but how do you, uh, rent a lighthouse?
00:54:41Doesn't the lighthouse keeper have to live here?
00:54:43Oh, 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.
00:55:00Uh, 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 fifteen minutes.
00:55:08Sure, thanks.
00:55:09It's a great place.
00:55:10It's a great place.
00:55:28Hello?
00:55:29Mommy, Daddy and Johnny are fighting bad.
00:55:32What?
00:55:34I don't want supper.
00:55:35Leave me alone!
00:55:36Johnny?
00:55:37Leave me alone!
00:55:38I'm gonna sit down and do as I say, young man.
00:55:41Stop it.
00:55:43It 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!
00:55:48Kiki!
00:55:49Supper!
00:55:50Johnny, you got five seconds.
00:55:51You hear me?
00:55:52You got five seconds to get back in here.
00:55:53Five seconds!
00:55:54Uh, honey, Kiki.
00:55:55Honey, talk to me.
00:55:56What's going on?
00:55:57Come on!
00:55:58Supper!
00:55:59I don't want to eat supper.
00:56:00I want you to come home.
00:56:01I can't come home.
00:56:02But I could talk to you and Johnny on the phone.
00:56:03As long as you want.
00:56:04Honey?
00:56:05Maybe you should put Daddy on the phone.
00:56:06Kiki, I want you to put the phone down and come in here and eat supper.
00:56:07Who are you talking to?
00:56:08Mom.
00:56:09Claire, she'll call you after supper.
00:56:10Okay?
00:56:11Dennis, what is going on?
00:56:12It...
00:56:13What?
00:56:14Oh, my God.
00:56:15I'm sorry.
00:56:16I'm sorry.
00:56:17I'm sorry.
00:56:18I'm sorry.
00:56:19I'm sorry.
00:56:20I'm sorry.
00:56:21I'm sorry.
00:56:22I'm sorry.
00:56:23I'm sorry.
00:56:24I'm sorry.
00:56:25I'm sorry.
00:56:26I'm sorry.
00:56:27Oh, God.
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.
00:56:43He looked back at me and went, good.
00:56:46He's gone.
00:56:48Can I take yours?
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:52You know, I still don't get how Dennis can do this legally.
00:56:59I'm wondering if he really wants the kids or he's just using them for protection.
00:57:06From what?
00:57:08For avoiding getting on with his own life.
00:57:11He wants to win.
00:57:13Taking the kids and the money would be winning.
00:57:18He wants to hurt me.
00:57:21Oh.
00:57:22He doesn't know what he wants, Claire.
00:57:24He's lost.
00:57:25And this didn't just happen overnight.
00:57:28You two are on totally different wavelengths.
00:57:31Yeah, but we wanted it to work.
00:57:33Honey, whatever you wanted, you left way behind in the dust.
00:57:38Maybe 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.
00:57:59I just lose it.
00:58:01Fine.
00:58:02I'm happy to be out myself.
00:58:05So 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.
00:58:18But 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.
00:58:37Can 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,
00:58:49to the one who stays at home and takes care of them.
00:58:52And the money usually follows the kids.
00:58:56I feel like I'm being punished.
00:58:58Well, you are in a way.
00:59:01Family 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.
00:59:11The marriage just died.
00:59:13Claire, 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,
00:59:19he could get the children and child support and maintenance.
00:59:23Is that what you want?
00:59:24I 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.
00:59:40Tell me what to do, Carter.
00:59:43You fight not to get ruined financially.
00:59:48And you fight to get as much time with your kids as you can.
00:59:55You know the trail. Leave your name and message after you hear the tone.
00:59:59Don't hang up.
01:00:00Hey 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.
01:00:19Okay, gotta go. Bye.
01:00:21Hello?
01:00:22Claire, it's me.
01:00:23The police are here.
01:00:24I think you better get over here right away.
01:00:25The police?
01:00:26Hello?
01:00:27Claire, it's me.
01:00:28The police are here.
01:00:32I think you better get over here right away.
01:00:33The police?
01:00:34Hello?
01:00:35Mom, they're taking Johnny away.
01:00:41Hi, baby.
01:00:42Hi, Johnny.
01:00:43Hi.
01:00:44Hi.
01:00:45Hi.
01:00:46Hi, Johnny.
01:00:47Hi.
01:00:48Hi.
01:00:49Mrs. Raphael.
01:00:50Yes.
01:00:51I'm Pat Jenkins.
01:00:52Hello?
01:01:01Mom, they're taking Johnny away.
01:01:04Hi, baby.
01:01:06Hi, Johnny.
01:01:09Hi.
01:01:11Mrs. Raphael?
01:01:13Yes?
01:01:14I'm Pat Jenkins.
01:01:16I'm the county juvenile officer.
01:01:20Can we talk in the kitchen?
01:01:23Yeah, sure.
01:01:24Okay, go wait with Dad.
01:01:30Okay.
01:01:35What on earth happened?
01:01:37Your son called the county abuse hotline.
01:01:40He's asked to be removed from the home.
01:01:42He claims that your husband's abusing him.
01:01:45My husband never hit Johnny, ever, in his entire life.
01:01:48Can I get a drink of water?
01:01:53Yes, of course.
01:01:54Help yourself.
01:01:56Okay, what's this about?
01:01:58I mean, what did you do?
01:02:00I didn't do anything.
01:02:01I assumed you put him up to it.
01:02:03Why would I do that?
01:02:04To prove that I'm a bad father.
01:02:05I had nothing to do with this.
01:02:12Did you say something?
01:02:14Did you punish him for something?
01:02:14I didn't do anything, Claire.
01:02:16Our son just calls the police.
01:02:19I find that hard to believe.
01:02:21I think it was a child abuse program at school that gave him the idea.
01:02:24Oh, a child abuse program.
01:02:26Yeah.
01:02:26Claire, we are both in trouble here.
01:02:28They could take him away from us.
01:02:29That's exactly what you were trying to do to me.
01:02:32This has nothing to do with that.
01:02:34The court will say we're unfit parents.
01:02:36That's exactly what you told the judge about me, Dennis.
01:02:40Do you want her to take Johnny away?
01:02:41No.
01:02:42I don't want any of this.
01:02:45I wanted a husband.
01:02:47I wanted a marriage.
01:02:48I wanted a family.
01:02:50And our son apparently feels the same way.
01:02:53I'm not sure how to proceed here.
01:02:55We've never had a child ask for protection when there's no charge of physical abuse.
01:02:59Does Johnny want to come and live with me?
01:03:02You're not taking him, Claire.
01:03:04Living with me has got to be better than a foster home, Dennis.
01:03:09Jesus Christ.
01:03:11I mean, is that where you would take my son?
01:03:14If we take him into custody, I don't know where the judge will put him exactly.
01:03:18It could be a detention center.
01:03:21Can I go talk to Mom?
01:03:25Is that why you did this?
01:03:27To get your mom to come over?
01:03:28I already told you why I did it.
01:03:30My dad is making me crazy.
01:03:32He's making me want to break things.
01:03:36You know, hurt people.
01:03:39Like he hurt you?
01:03:43Tell me how he hurt you.
01:03:45Did he hit you?
01:03:46No.
01:03:47So he didn't abuse you physically.
01:03:54Is that right?
01:04:00I can't stay here.
01:04:02I can't.
01:04:03You have to...
01:04:03Look, Johnny.
01:04:04I may be wrong here, but I get the feeling that what you're trying to do is get your folks back together.
01:04:10What is it you want here, Johnny?
01:04:13Do you want to go downtown?
01:04:15Because if what you want to do is to get the custody order changed, the juvenile judge, he can't do that.
01:04:21The only choice he can make is to take you away from both your parents.
01:04:27Do you know what you want?
01:04:28I don't want them to fight over me.
01:04:40I don't want to be the prize like whoever wins gets to take care of me.
01:04:43I don't like what Dad did to Mom.
01:04:46To Kiki and me throwing her out like that.
01:04:48But that wasn't your dad.
01:04:49That was the judge.
01:04:49Yeah, 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.
01:05:01And you should pick straws or something for the house.
01:05:04It shouldn't just go to Dad because he thought of it first.
01:05:07It ought to be fair, is what I'm saying.
01:05:09To both of you.
01:05:12I think I better call my lawyer.
01:05:14If everybody wants to call lawyers, we might as well take Johnny into protective custody right now.
01:05:18No, wait a minute.
01:05:19Wait.
01:05:19Oh, can't we find a solution that keeps Johnny home?
01:05:26I'm sorry.
01:05:30It's Rona.
01:05:33Hello, Rona?
01:05:38Oh.
01:05:41Okay.
01:05:46What is it?
01:05:48Mommy.
01:05:49My mommy just died.
01:05:59She just died.
01:06:04I'm really sorry, Mom.
01:06:08Thank you, Johnny.
01:06:09I'm sorry that Teddy and I are putting you through this.
01:06:18I really am.
01:06:19I really am.
01:06:19I really am.
01:06:19I really am.
01:06:22I really am.
01:06:23I'm sorry.
01:06:24I really am.
01:06:24I really am.
01:06:24I know.
01:06:26I am.
01:06:27I am.
01:06:39I am.
01:06:40I am.
01:06:40I am.
01:06:41I am.
01:06:42A while, yeah.
01:06:45It must have been tough on her,
01:06:47having to go through all this while her mom was dying.
01:06:53Dad, I want to go to Nana's funeral.
01:06:57What did your mom say?
01:06:58She said she wants me to come,
01:07:01but it was up to you to let me go.
01:07:04Do we have to ask the judge's permission
01:07:06for him to be with his mom?
01:07:08No.
01:07:09Since you have custody, you can make that decision.
01:07:12If 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?
01:07:41Can I spend the night?
01:07:48Sure.
01:07:50Can 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 ya.
01:08:16Bye, Johnny.
01:08:16Bye, Dad.
01:08:17Yeah.
01:08:47Is 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.
01:09:37I know you're sad about your mom.
01:09:40It's okay.
01:09:42I like having something to do.
01:09:44We'll come with you.
01:09:47Hey, sailor.
01:10:00You come here often?
01:10:01Excuse me, that would be very high-paying.
01:10:06Excuse me.
01:10:10Thank you very much.
01:10:14Hey, 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.
01:10:31Come 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.
01:10:59Big firms, upper management, all the perks.
01:11:04I didn't know.
01:11:05Here you go, sir.
01:11:06Yep, thank you.
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.
01:11:21No, I'm lost.
01:11:22I think I'm afraid to go back out there.
01:11:32You know, when you and Claire started to make it big, the Mr. Mom thing got comfortable.
01:11:39And 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, but 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, and after that, hair never laughed at tortoise again.
01:12:22I 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.
01:12:34I wish you had known her better.
01:12:39She 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.
01:13:04But 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.
01:13:18And when somebody dies, then you're family.
01:13:22You need who's ever left.
01:13:26A child charging his parent with abuse.
01:13:29Trying to get his custody changed?
01:13:30I've never heard of such a thing.
01:13:32Why didn't you call me?
01:13:33We can sue the county on this, I'll bet.
01:13:37Do 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.
01:13:53Now, the first thing we have to do is get a restraining order on that funeral trip.
01:13:59Mr. 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 clear?
01:14:38Hi.
01:14:40Hi.
01:14:43Well, this is, uh, quite a place.
01:14:50Different.
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?
01:15:19Probably.
01:15:21But I'm willing to try.
01:15:22Hey, you want to come?
01:15:24Of course I do.
01:15:26Look at his face.
01:15:27You look so eager.
01:15:30Oh, look at Mom.
01:15:32She looks so beautiful.
01:15:34She had some meat then.
01:15:35Well, I know what you got there.
01:15:36You got the little hair there, right?
01:15:37Put those down there.
01:15:38So what else?
01:15:38Use that one there.
01:15:39No, no, no.
01:15:40I already have this.
01:15:41No, put that.
01:15:42Use that one.
01:15:42Okay, go.
01:15:44Can I go to two?
01:15:45I'm going to go to your dad.
01:15:46Okay, put that down.
01:15:48What do you got now?
01:15:49Try to ask for one.
01:15:50No, no, no.
01:15:50Oh, wow.
01:15:53That's beautiful.
01:15:55That's so nice.
01:15:57I love it.
01:15:58I got to frame it.
01:16:00Thanks, Daddy.
01:16:02You could tell you who's left.
01:16:04I wonder who that is.
01:16:06So, I'm going to go check into a motel.
01:16:14There's a bedroom over the garage if you want it.
01:16:17Okay, thanks.
01:16:20Okay, you guys, don't forget your homework.
01:16:21I'm going to go sleep in the backyard.
01:16:23Backyard?
01:16:24Just checking to see if you're paying attention.
01:16:25Okay, 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.
01:16:37Bye, Dad.
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.
01:16:42Bye.
01:16:48Hi.
01:16:48Hi.
01:16:48Hi.
01:16:48Hi.
01:16:49Hi.
01:16:49Hi.
01:16:49Hi.
01:16:49Hi.
01:16:49Hi.
01:16:49Hi.
01:16:49Hi.
01:16:51Hi.
01:16:51Hi.
01:16:53Hi.
01:16:53Hi.
01:16:53Hi.
01:16:53Hi.
01:16:53Hi.
01:16:55Hi.
01:16:55Hi.
01:16:55I'm sorry about you, Mom.
01:17:09I'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.
01:17:28You didn't let me down.
01:17:30Yes, I did.
01:17:31You didn't.
01:17:32Yes, I did, Clara.
01:17:33Okay.
01:17:34Do you know that I was never happy selling stocks and bonds?
01:17:40No matter how much I tried to convince myself otherwise?
01:17:42Do you know that?
01:17:44I got fired for all the right reasons.
01:17:45I was doing a lousy job.
01:17:46I was doing a lousy job.
01:17:47I was doing a lousy job.
01:17:48I was doing a lousy job.
01:17:49I was doing a lousy job.
01:17:50I was doing a lousy job.
01:17:51It's not that I didn't want another position.
01:17:57I couldn't get one, Claire.
01:18:01So I blamed you for not being sympathetic.
01:18:03I blamed you for catching all the breaks.
01:18:05I blamed you for your success.
01:18:08It wasn't just my success, it was our success, all of us.
01:18:16I couldn't see it that way.
01:18:19You know, I know now that while the business means a lot to me, it pales in comparison
01:18:30in the way I feel for you and the children.
01:18:36I have to start over.
01:18:39You know, 15 years, we've built so many good things.
01:18:58I don't want to lose you.
01:19:01I can't breathe when I'm with you, Claire.
01:19:12I can't do anything with you looking over my shoulder.
01:19:18It makes me feel diminished.
01:19:30I have to do this alone.
01:19:34I still want the divorce.
01:19:39Okay.
01:19:40I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord.
01:19:49He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
01:19:54And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
01:19:58In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:20:03we recommend to Almighty God our sister Constance.
01:20:07And we commit her body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
01:20:15The Lord bless her and keep her.
01:20:19The Lord make his face to shine upon her and be gracious unto her.
01:20:23The Lord lift up his countenance upon her and give her peace.
01:20:28Amen.
01:20:29Amen.
01:20:30Amen.
01:20:31Come on, Nick.
01:20:32Over here.
01:20:33Pass it.
01:20:34Dad.
01:20:35Want to come play?
01:20:36Okay, okay.
01:20:37Certainly.
01:20:38Nick.
01:20:39It's weird, Dennis, being here.
01:20:40Nick.
01:20:41It's just the beginning of weird.
01:20:43We've got birthdays.
01:20:45Christmas.
01:20:46Graduations.
01:20:47I'm sorry, Claire.
