00:00:42Keep your eye on the ball, that's OK.
00:00:44It just started.
00:00:45That's it.
00:00:46Get back, get back, get back, get back.
00:00:47Get back, get back!
00:00:49Come on!
00:00:50Johnny!
00:00:51OK, Johnny, OK, Johnny.
00:00:52Take it!
00:00:55Look at the open man.
00:00:56Get in there!
00:00:57Don't let him get inside!
00:00:58That's it!

00:01:04Go!
00:01:05All right!
00:01:06Come on, get your phone.
00:01:10Our primary catch on these!
00:01:12All right!
00:01:12All right!
00:01:13Woo!
00:01:14Hey, Will!
00:01:15Yes!
00:01:15Let me go, sweetheart!
00:01:17I want work?
00:01:18Heads up!
00:01:19Are you serious?
00:01:21No, I don't believe it.
00:01:22They never give it to anybody in retail.
00:01:25Keep your head up!
00:01:25The keynote, too?
00:01:26Good!
00:01:28Cool!
00:01:28All right, let's go!
00:01:29Brody, this is great for us.
00:01:31Johnny's got the ball.
00:01:31I gotta go.
00:01:32I'll see you in the morning.
00:01:33Bye!
00:01:33Yeah, Johnny!
00:01:34Woo!
00:01:36That's it!
00:01:37Yes!
00:01:40Yes!
00:01:45I'm riding with Mom.
00:01:47I'm riding with Mom.
00:01:48You were over there last time.
00:01:49You can both ride with Mom.
00:01:51Dad doesn't mind, okay?
00:01:53You got anything to eat at home?
00:01:54Chili.
00:01:54Yes!
00:01:56All right.
00:01:57Well, I'll see you there.
00:01:58All right.
00:01:58Go 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 on 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.
00:02:15Well, that's good.
00:02:16That's great.
00:02:17You deserve that.
00:02:18You worked really hard.
00:02:22Thanks.
00:02:26You gave away your lunch again today?
00:02:28What'd I do wrong?
00:02:29It's too much mayo.
00:02:31The 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.
00:02:42Warm?
00:02:43It's way better, Johnny.
00:02:44No.
00:02:44Cold pizza's better.
00:02:46Are we having company tonight?
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:50There they are.
00:02:52Howdy, neighbors.
00:02:54Hey, Adam.
00:02:55What's up?
00:02:56Hey, Alice.
00:02:58Oh, damn ass.
00:02:59Oh.
00:03:01Hey, Steve.
00:03:02How are you?
00:03:02How you doing, Danny?
00:03:02Good to see you.
00:03:03How you doing?
00:03:07So, is your mother getting any better?
00:03:09Well, Rona says she's holding her own.
00:03:12If 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
00:03:24to open up the new store, so I'll get to see her for myself.
00:03:27Well, that's good.
00:03:30Cancer'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.
00:03:41Go, guys.
00:03:43Bye, Claire.
00:03:45Thanks.
00:03:46You call me.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:46Bye, Dennis.
00:03:47Bye.
00:03:49You 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!
00:04:03They didn't have a place to eat.
00:04:05All the restaurants are closed.
00:04:09You know, we make these agreements, and then you just do whatever you want.
00:04:19Bye!
00:04:25Good night.
00:04:28Good 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.
00:04:36I'll be back on Thursday.
00:04:38And maybe we could go to the circus on Saturday.
00:04:42Yay!
00:04:42The circus!
00:04:43I'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...
00:04:54Forget 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 down.
00:05:19Good night.
00:05:20Love you.
00:05:21Thank you, Dad.
00:05:22Good 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.
00:05:31It 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.
00:05:52Good night, 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.
00:06:07What else?
00:06:09No.
00:06:11Really?
00:06:12Oh, cool.
00:06:14And tomorrow?
00:06:14Is everything okay?
00:06:15Are 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?
00:06:29Well, what about the next night?
00:06:32Sorry.
00:06:32Another early morning pickup.
00:06:35Here.
00:06:39All right.
00:06:40Well, look.
00:06:40How about I call you and we'll...
00:06:50Claire.
00:06:54I'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.
00:07:04I 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.
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, you have.
00:07:38Look, we're not going to be able to solve anything tonight.
00:07:42And it's late, uh...
00:07:45And I really need to get some sleep, so, uh...
00:07:48Can we talk about it when I get back?
00:07:53Sure, fine.
00:08:02Good night.
00:08:04Hey, Rudy.
00:08:08Dennis Raphael on Willow.
00:08:12Got another leak under the sink.
00:08:14Hey, big sis, our plane arrives at 1215,
00:08:16so Brody and I will just meet you at the store, okay?
00:08:18Bye.
00:08:19Love you.
00:08:20Kiss Mom!
00:08:21I don't know, it 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.
00:08:28No 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 gotta pick up my kids at school.
00:08:34You can wait till 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.
00:08:53Morning.
00:08:54Hi, Brody.
00:08:55Hey.
00:08:56Kiki, Kiki.
00:08:57You get bigger and bigger.
00:08:58What are you now?
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.
00:09:06Hi, 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.
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.
00:09:27Oh, let me get your bags, ma'am.
00:09:32Hey, kids.
00:09:33I love you.
00:09:34Mwah.
00:09:35Love you.
00:09:35I'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.
00:09:46What's this about a circus?
00:09:49I promised the kids that 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.
00:10:01Come 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.
00:10:11Bye, 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.
00:10:31Great lighting.
00:10:32Bella, thank you.
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.
00:10:52What?
00:10:52Good to see you.
00:10:57What, did she come here just to make me feel bad?
00:11:00Oh, 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.
00:11:21Hello, 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.
00:11:35Where are you, Claire?
00:11:36Come on, come 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,
00:11:52which just happens to be 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
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. I 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 your help.
00:12:37What do you need?
00:12:39I need you to stay with mom for two weeks, end of next month.
00:12:42Two weeks?
00:12:43Brody could take care of the business, Dennis 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. She wants us.
00:13:01No, I know.
00:13:04Jeez.
00:13:05Claire.
00:13:06I'm sorry. I've never asked anything of you before.
00:13:09It's not that I don't want to, Roe. I do.
00:13:12I just can't be away for two more weeks. Dennis 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.
00:13:25Do it.
00:13:26I 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, I'm gonna leave you two alone.
00:13:52God knows mom sees enough of me.
00:13:54Bye, dear.
00:13:55All right.
00:13:57I'll take a cab back to the hotel. I'll call you tonight.
00:14:00Okay. Bye.
00:14:04So 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 here and think.
00:14:16Like you.
00:14:18I was always so busy.
00:14:21It's frustrating.
00:14:23All the things I wanted to do in life didn't.
00:14:28You did tons.
00:14:29Starting way back when daddy died.
00:14:32You 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.
00:14:43Oh, but you.
00:14:47Tell me everything.
00:14:49And Kiki is just amazing.
00:14:51She got a full scholarship into an art camp.
00:14:55Hmm.
00:14:58Sunshine.
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.
00:15:19No, 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...
00:15:35Well, 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.
00:15:46Ignore her.
00:15:48Ah, there you are.
00:15:51Time for your radiation.
00:15:52Oh, Claire, you run on, dear. I know you're tired after your trip.
00:15:56I usually just go to sleep after supper.
00:15:59You sure, Mom?
00:16:02I'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?
00:16:17You remember when you and Dennis started at Payneweber
00:16:19and 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.
00:16:39Oh, we knew we were in love?
00:16:41Knew our parents were healthy?
00:16:44We knew we were building a future.
00:16:47Hmm.
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, all right.
00:17:08Let's go!
00:17:10Hey!
00:17:12I'm home!
00:17:14Kiki!
00:17:15Johnny!
00:17:18Hello?
00:17:22Hi there.
00:17:24Where's the kids?
00:17:26They're at my mom's.
00:17:28How come?
00:17:29I 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.
00:17:44I'm gonna go take a shower.
00:17:46I'll answer the door.
00:17:49I'll meet you upstairs.
00:17:55Hello.
00:17:57Claire Raphael?
00:17:58Yes.
00:18:00What's this?
00:18:08Probate Family Court, Suffolk Division, Boston, Massachusetts.
00:18:20You are ordered as file pending the hearing, or until further notice of the court, it is ordered that Dennis
00:18:27Raphael is to have temporary custody of John and Clara Kate Raphael? The wife Claire Raphael is to vacate the
00:18:35marital premises?
00:18:37What 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.
00:19:02Why 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.
00:19:25Remember in couples therapy, we promised each other we agreed that we wouldn't make any radical moves.
00:19:33This is not radical.
00:19:34I've thought this through.
00:19:35Since you've been unwilling to hear me, I had to resort to this.
00:19:45Look.
00:19:47You want a trial separation?
00:19:48That's one thing.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:51But what's this about custody of the children?
00:19:54And in order to vacate?
00:19:59Dennis.
00:20:01This is my home.
00:20:02I live here.
00:20:05A divorce?
00:20:07You 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.
00:20:33For one thing.
00:20:34And when you are here, you're so preoccupied with your work that 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.
00:20:45What 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!
00:21:04What?
00:21:12Right.
00:21:12Yes, this is Dennis Raphael and Willow.
00:21:14Okay?
00:21:15We spoke earlier?
00:21:15Yep!
00:21:16Is that right away?
00:21:19Then as you and Brodie working all hours of the night...
00:21:23this is insane the only reason why I started the business was because you

00:23:12Oh, my God.
00:23:39Oh, my God.
00:23:46Hey!
00:23:48Claire, 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 and I had to leave the house.
00:23:59Wait a minute.
00:23:59Wait a minute.
00:24:00Wait a minute.
00:24:00What are you talking about?
00:24:01You're not making any sense.
00:24:03Why does he want a divorce?
00:24:04Why do you want to do that?
00:24:06I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
00:24:08No.
00:24:08I was driving around.
00:24:09I didn't know where to go.
00:24:10No, no, no.
00:24:11It's all right.
00:24:12Listen, why don't I just go get the case of the car and I'll take you back over there.
00:24:14We'll clear this all up.
00:24:16I'm not allowed to go back.
00:24:23I didn't know who he was.
00:24:26He was so cold and shut down.
00:24:34He's keeping kids for me.
00:24:37He said that...
00:24:39Just, just, just, just, just come in.
00:24:40Come on.
00:24:45Did you know that he was thinking about this?
00:24:48I knew he was unhappy.
00:24:53But I, uh, never thought, can he really do this to me?
00:24:58Can he throw me out of my house?
00:25:03Look, I gotta call the kids.
00:25:05No, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:06I, I, I, I, I'd rather that you talk to my lawyer first.
00:25:09I don't really want to talk to your lawyer first.
00:25:11Well, you don't have to use him, of course, but he's very fair.
00:25:15And I'm sure he'll be able to tell you what the deal is with the kids.
00:25:17And I would, I'd 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, uh, 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.
00:25:43Uh-huh.
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, her husband's name is Dennis.
00:25:50And, uh, 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,
00:26:12but if you'll drop by my office tomorrow morning,
00:26:16we'll talk a little, and we'll see where to start.
00:26:19Well, actually, um,
00:26:22maybe you could give me some advice tonight.
00:26:26Dennis took our children to his mother's.
00:26:29Can 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?
00:26:51Plaintiff'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?
00:26:58Yeah.
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.
00:27:18Emma?
00:27:19Emma?
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.
00:27:32Hi, 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
00:27:41and then ask her to tell you a story, okay, baby?
00:27:45Is Johnny there?
00:27:47Johnny, it'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,
00:28:03Nana really needs me for a little bit here,
00:28:07so, um...
00:28:09so I'm gonna stay.
00:28:11But I'll call you tomorrow.
00:28:14Okay?
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:17What?
00:28:19Sweet dreams.
00:28:21Good night, Mom.
00:28:22I love you.
00:28:23I 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.
00:28:47Please, come in.
00:28:49Come in.
00:28:59I 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.
00:29:08Um,
00:29:10our counselor says that, uh...
00:29:11The papers don't look ill-conceived.
00:29:14Oh.
00:29:15He 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,
00:29:29you'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, I don't believe this.
00:29:49This isn't Dennis.
00:29:53Has divorce ever been discussed?
00:29:58He's talked of separation,
00:30:01but 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,
00:30:13whose spouses are the breadwinners.
00:30:15I don't know what you mean.
00:30:16Men are asking for custody?
00:30:19It 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.
00:30:53Oh, 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.
00:31:07Look, Dennis took on most of the domestic side
00:31:11once he lost his job.
00:31:13And 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 that.
00:31:37Phone contact, that's all.
00:31:45Hey, morning.
00:31:50You up and 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.
00:32:06Come on, Dennis.
00:32:07We know each other better than we know ourselves.
00:32:09But I gotta tell you,
00:32:10you've lost me on this one, man.
00:32:14I told Claire it wasn't another woman.
00:32:17Is 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.
00:32:33You 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 I
00:32:41work for anything around here.
00:32:42She thinks all I do
00:32:42is sit around and feel sorry for myself
00:32:43while she's out busting her ass
00:32:45for 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 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
00:33:13asked you to partner
00:33:13with her first.
00:33:16But something about your ego
00:33:17comes to mind.
00:33:17I run this house.
00:33:19I run this house.
00:33:22She doesn't think it's important
00:33:23that somebody be here
00:33:25when the kids get home.
00:33:26What 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 as much as you do.
00:33:38When she's here,
00:33:40Claire does what she can, Dennis.
00:33:44We had no idea the business
00:33:45was going to take off
00:33:46the 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?
00:33:58Hello?
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.
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.
00:34:26God damn it.
00:34:28Hey, there's Claire.
00:34:29All right.
00:34:30All right, Claire.
00:34:31Congratulations.
00:34:33Claire, 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.
00:34:43Claire, there's a shipment of Italian continent customs.
00:34:47They say you have to sign for it personally.
00:34:50Betty, I have a personal thing I need to deal with.
00:35:05Dennis?
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.
00:35:22You think, um...
00:35:25Do you think we could meet somewhere and, uh...
00:35:29And you could tell me what this is all about?
00:35:34You know what this is about, Claire?
00:35:36Could you please tell Brody to stay the hell out of it?
00:35:40Okay, so we'll, uh...
00:35:42We'll do it on the phone if you like.
00:35:45Why don't you start at the top of your list?
00:35:47What, you...
00:35:49You want to have, like, a meeting
00:35:50so we can go over our goals and objectives?
00:35:53No, Dennis.
00:35:54I just want to find out what's bothering you
00:35:57so, uh...
00:35:58We could work on finding a solution.
00:36:00Something that...
00:36:01Something that'll work for all of us.
00:36:03I'm not an employee of 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 so much between us
00:36:24that we can't work it out?
00:36:26I don't have to answer to you, Claire.
00:36:28I don't have to prove myself to you, Claire.
00:36:31I don't have to talk to you anymore!
00:36:33Dennis, please.
00:36:34Don't go there.
00:36:58Here's our flag for Port Raphael.
00:37:01Flag for Port Raphael.
00:37:04This is so neat, Daddy.
00:37:06We did such a good job.
00:37:08Can I sleep at it tonight?
00:37:09No, because I am.
00:37:11I said it first.
00:37:12Here's what you said.
00:37:13Well, looks like there's enough room
00:37:16for the both of yous in there,
00:37:18so why don't you both go 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, we'll show her.
00:37:30Maybe she can sleep with us, too.
00:37:34I knew he was mad that I invited you over on a school night.
00:37:39I also knew that he was unhappy with himself.
00:37:42Oh, come on, Claire.
00:37:44In all the years I've known you,
00:37:45I have never seen you play the naive card.
00:37:48What do you mean?
00:37:49I mean that there is something going on here
00:37:51that you don't want to look at.
00:37:53Something you've done, you've said, you've not said.
00:37:56Well, he says that we make these decisions,
00:37:59and then I just go off and do whatever I want.
00:38:02Do you?
00:38:03Sometimes, sure.
00:38:05He's jealous of your business.
00:38:07We couldn't have lived without the business, Alice.
00:38:09I know that, but it's done so well.
00:38:11I mean, maybe it's a little more than threatening.
00:38:14I can't do anything about that.
00:38:17Oh, I'm working as 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 a little angry here?
00:38:26Yes, I'm angry.
00:38:27The bastard's tearing up my life.
00:38:30Hey, it's not just your life, Claire.
00:38:32It's his life, too.
00:38:34Maybe he didn't feel like 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 at you, too.
00:38:50You've got to look at 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 better than he did.
00:38:57You wrecked man and woman's time-honored role.
00:39:01You took over the hunter and gatherer's job.
00:39:04Look, if Dennis evaporated tomorrow, you'd go on.
00:39:08Hell, I'd be mad at you, too.
00:39:14Come here.
00:39:23And it's going to be a robber.
00:39:25Oh, really?
00:39:30All right.
00:39:32Claire, our main objective here is to make a good impression on the judge and to have a good evaluator
00:39:38appointed.
00:39:38It's the evaluator, in most cases, who decides who gets the kids.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:43I'll do all the talking.
00:39:45You stay calm.
00:39:49Right.
00:39:55Your Honor, as you've read, my client was stunned by the order issued against her last Thursday.
00:40:02She has led an exemplary life.
00:40:04She's strong mentally and physically.
00:40:07She's well-known in her community.
00:40:09She's respected by her children's teachers, by their pastor, their doctor, and their friends.
00:40:16Her husband has never before expressed an interest in full-time parenting, nor did he ever suggest to her that
00:40:23she was an unfit mother.
00:40:25She had no idea that he was serious about wanting a divorce.
00:40:30Behind her back, he came to this court and presented evidence purporting to show her in a state of personal
00:40:36crisis.
00:40:37The evidence to that effect is filled with coincidence, erroneous supposition, even a few outright lies.
00:40:45To put it bluntly, he set her up.
00:40:48Objection, Your Honor.
00:40:49There's no proof of any setup.
00:40:51And no proof against it.
00:40:52Mr. Raphael deliberately manipulated the situation in order to make his wife look bad.
00:40:57We therefore request that the order to vacate be nullified and the children be returned to her care.
00:41:02We are not here to try this case, Counsel.
00:41:06From what the father's affidavit says, the children are doing quite well without her.
00:41:11They don't even know they're without me.
00:41:13Mrs. Raphael, this is a hearing.
00:41:16Nothing you say has any bearing since you have not been put under oath.
00:41:20In this proceeding, your counsel speaks for you.
00:41:23Do you understand?
00:41:24Yes, sir.
00:41:25Your Honor, we request that she be put under oath.
00:41:28Further, we would like to bring in witnesses to attest to her diligence as a mother.
00:41:34No time.
00:41:35Since the parties disagree on who shall have custody, I'll name an evaluator who will prepare a recommendation.
00:41:42Any requests?
00:41:43Janice Goldman.
00:41:44John Eden, Your Honor.
00:41:46John Eden it is.
00:41:47He will study the behavior and emotions of the family relationships, then make his recommendation.
00:41:52How long will that be?
00:41:53Mr. Petrie, remind your client she may not speak at this hearing, Your Honor, regarding temporary custody.
00:42:02The children will stay with their father.
00:42:04Can the mother live in the house until the evaluator files his report?
00:42:08Is that acceptable?
00:42:10No, Your Honor.
00:42:11Mrs. Raphael is clearly angry.
00:42:14She became violent at her home the night she was served.
00:42:16The police were called.
00:42:17There's no telling what she might do to her husband or to the children.
00:42:21I would never.
00:42:24The order stands pending the evaluator's report.
00:42:27The father stays at home with the children.
00:42:30Mother travels anyway.
00:42:31She'll find lodging when she's in town.
00:42:33Visitation rights, then.
00:42:35Wednesdays and Saturdays.
00:42:37On the matter of temporary support, father will have same access to funds as 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 with divorce proceedings, Claire.
00:42:57Carter.
00:42:58It's always good to see you.
00:43:00My client says Mrs. Raphael can see the children on Wednesdays after they get home from school.
00:43:04If she wants to pick up a few things, she can do so one hour prior to that visitation.
00:43:10Rona?
00:43:11Claire?
00:43:12Yeah, Mom's not doing so well.
00:43:14Well, they're giving her morphine for the pain, but she's going in and out of consciousness.
00:43:19Her vitals are unstable.
00:43:22I think you should get here as soon as possible.
00:43:28Okay.
00:43:30Bye.
00:43:33Carter, I have to go.
00:43:34My sister says there's very little time on it.
00:43:39Your mom?
00:43:42I have to go.
00:43:44I'm sorry.
00:43:51If I had known she was this sick, I wouldn't have left last week.
00:43:56That's not what she wants.
00:43:58She wants us to live our lives.
00:44:02It just feels like I...
00:44:05I miss the signs of so many things.
00:44:09I...
00:44:12The guilt is overwhelming.
00:44:14You didn't miss the signs.
00:44:16Knowing you, you probably saw them all, but hope they meant something else.
00:44:22I knew Dennis was unhappy, and I...
00:44:24I just kept pushing it down so far.
00:44:27I...
00:44:28I stopped feeling.
00:44:31Do you still love him?
00:44:43Hello, doctor.
00:44:45How are we doing?
00:44:47About the same.
00:44:50How bad is it?
00:44:53Well, with a will as strong as hers, she could go on for weeks.
00:44:57Even months.
00:44:59It won't be for a while.
00:45:02Okay.
00:45:13Listen.
00:45:17Per.
00:45:20Listen.
00:45:22Listen to what, Mom?
00:45:25It takes two.
00:45:28One to talk.
00:45:30And one to listen.
00:45:36You'll find the way.
00:45:39We all do.
00:45:42We all do.

00:54:48No.
00:54:51No, I just came out here to think.
00:54:55I've been sort of, uh, decommissioned myself.
00:55:00I need a place to live.
00:55:03Well, take a look around if you like.
00:55:05My client's not due for another 15 minutes.
00:55:08Sure, thanks.
00:55:10It's a great place.
00:55:29Hello?
00:55:30Mommy, 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.
00:55:45Mom should.
00:55:46She shouldn't have to live in a hotel.
00:55:48Knock it off!
00:55:50Kiki, supper!
00:55:54Johnny, you got five seconds.
00:55:56You hear me?
00:55:56You got five seconds to get back in here.
00:55:58Five seconds.
00:56:00Honey, Kiki.
00:56:01Honey, talk to me.
00:56:02What's going on?
00:56:03Come on, supper.
00:56:05I don't want to eat supper.
00:56:06I want you to come home.
00:56:07I can't come home.
00:56:09But I could talk to you and Johnny on the phone as long as you want.
00:56:13Honey?
00:56:14Maybe you should put Daddy on the phone.
00:56:16Kiki, I want you to put the phone down and come in here and eat supper.
00:56:18Who are you talking to?
00:56:19Mom.
00:56:21Claire, she'll call you after supper.
00:56:22Okay?
00:56:23Dennis, what is going on?
00:56:27I...
00:56:33Get this.
00:56:34I had to drive Adam to school this morning.
00:56:36He missed the bus again.
00:56:38But when we got there, he jumped out of the car and I rolled down the window and I yelled,
00:56:42I love you, Adam.
00:56:43He looked back at me and went, good.
00:56:47He's gone.
00:56:55You 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?
00:57:09For avoiding getting on with his own life.
00:57:12He wants to win.
00:57:15Taking the kids and the money would be winning.
00:57:20He wants to hurt me.
00:57:22Oh, he doesn't know what he wants, Claire.
00:57:25He's lost.
00:57:26And this didn't just happen overnight.
00:57:28You two are on totally different wavelengths.
00:57:31Yeah, but we wanted it to work.
00:57:34Honey, 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.
00:58:02Fine.
00:58:03I'm happy to be out myself.
00:58:06So I've been reading about this evaluation, and the only thing I want to make sure of is that the
00:58:11kids won't have to come to court.
00:58:13They don't, usually.
00:58:15But the judge may want to speak to them in his chambers.
00:58:19But what if he asks them to choose between Dennis and me?
00:58:23That would be terrible for them, Carter.
00:58:26Isn't there some way not to involve them?
00:58:29There are three ways, actually.
00:58:32You can give the kids to Dennis.
00:58:34He can give them to you.
00:58:35Or you can agree on joint custody.
00:58:40Can the judge award joint custody?
00:58:42Yes.
00:58:43But if it's a nasty debate, and the case goes to trial, the kids usually go to the non-working
00:58:49parent,
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.
00:58:59Well, you are, in a way.
00:59:01Family law is still stuck in a criminal view of divorce.
00:59:05Let's find out who killed the marriage and punished them.
00:59:08But we didn't kill the marriage, neither Dennis nor I.
00:59:12The marriage just died.
00:59:14Claire, it doesn't matter what the truth is.
00:59:16If you don't fight Dennis, if you don't make him seem like the bad guy somehow,
00:59:20he could get the children, and child support, and maintenance.
00:59:24Is that what you want?
00:59:25I don't want any of this.
00:59:28Unfortunately, marriage is not like other contracts, in my experience.
00:59:33As soon as one person wants out, it's over.
00:59:40Okay.
00:59:41Tell me what to do, Carter.
00:59:44You fight.
00:59:46Not 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.
00:59:57Leave your name and message after you hear the tone.
00:59:59Don't hang up.
01:00:00Hey, Alice.
01:00:01It's Claire.
01:00:03Listen, pretty funny.
01:00:05Our 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.
01:00:18I knew you would enjoy that.
01:00:21Okay, gotta go. Bye.
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?
01:00:35The police?
01:00:55Hello?
01:01:01Mom, they're taking Johnny away.
01:01:04Hi, baby.
01:01:07Hi, 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.
01:01:35What 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.
01:01:52Can I get a drink of water?
01:01:53Yes, of course, help 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.
01:02:17Our 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, yeah.
01:02:26Claire, we are both in trouble here.
01:02:28They could take him away from us.
01:02:30That'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.
01:03:00Does 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.
01:03:08Oh, Jesus 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?
01:03:26To 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.
01:03:35You know, hurt people.
01:03:38Like he hurt you?
01:03:43Tell me how he hurt you.
01:03:45Did he hit you?
01:03:46No.
01:03:49So he didn't abuse you physically.
01:03:54Is that right?
01:04:00I can't stay here.
01:04:01I can't.
01:04:03You have to...
01:04:03Look, Johnny.
01:04:04Johnny, I may be wrong here, but I get the feeling that what you're trying to do is get
01:04:08your folks back together.
01:04:11What 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,
01:04:19he 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?
01:04:37I 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, to 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, to 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, wait.
01:05:21How 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?
01:05:51My mommy just died.
01:05:58She just died.
01:06:04I'm really sorry, mom.
01:06:08Thank you, Johnny.
01:06:13I'm sorry.
01:06:14I'm sorry that Teddy and I are putting you through this.
01:06:18I really am.
01:06:39Was she sick long?
01:06:42a while yeah it must have been tough on her having to go through all this while our mom was
01:06:50dying
01:06:53dad i want to go to nana's funeral
01:06:57what does your mom say she said she wants me to come it was up to you to let me
01:07:02go
01:07:04do we have to ask the judge's permission for him to be with his mom
01:07:09no since 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

01:13:40this could cost your wife a fortune
01:13:41she 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
01:13:48well 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
01:13:59mr raphael for all you know she may be planning on taking them out of the country
01:14:02and you'll never see them again
01:14:04do we know for a fact the mother's actually dead

01:24:58Every year, the Chamber presents an award to the local business person who has most successfully navigated the dangerous waters
01:25:05of commerce and arrived with style and substance on the shores of survival.
01:25:08Well, a little hyperbole goes a long way.
01:25:14This year, that award goes to the woman who has created this world of beautiful furniture in which we now
01:25:20stand.
01:25:21Ladies and gentlemen, here she is, Claire Raphael, Woman of the Year.
01:25:29Thank you very much for your time.
01:25:38The credit goes to my friends and family.
01:25:42They know who they are.
01:25:44And I couldn't have created this if it wasn't for each and every one of you.
01:25:51This has also been an extraordinary team effort.
01:25:56And we've made record sales here in Boston this year.
01:26:00And with our new branch in Seattle doing so well, I must say that I am looking forward to the
01:26:09brightest of futures.
01:26:10So thank you all for coming.
01:26:12I appreciate it.
