00:00:38Put the ball around.
00:00:41Here, Andy.
00:00:42Keep your eye on the ball.
00:00:43That's OK.
00:00:44It's just starting.
00:00:45That's it.
00:00:46All right, get back, get back, get back, get back.
00:00:47Get back, get back.
00:00:49Come on, Johnny.
00:00:51Okay, Johnny, I'll put it, Johnny.
00:00:52Take it.
00:00:55Literally open man.
00:00:56Get in there.
00:00:57Let him get inside.
00:00:58That's it!
00:00:59Come on!
00:00:59Come on, heads up!
00:01:00Come on, try again!
00:01:02That's it!
00:01:03That's it!
00:01:03That's it!
00:01:03That'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 has I done?
00:21:05Oh, my god!
00:21:11How are you doing that?
00:21:11How are you looking for the little doctor?
00:21:12I need a host of the people.
00:21:12This is Dennis Raphael.
00:21:15How are you doing that?
00:21:17I need a host of your people.
00:21:19What are you doing that?
00:21:20I need a host of my family.
00:21:27I need a host of my family.

00:28:32so this is how how it's gonna be i'm gonna have to lie to my kids
00:28:45claire carter petrie please come in
00:28:59i 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
00:29:14oh he wants sole custody of the children child support until they're 18 and maintenance that's
00:29:21what we used to call alimony and he wants half your business he claims that with your business booming
00:29:28and your mother ill you're too busy for your family you've been gone 34 days of the last 90 you've
00:29:36canceled appointments at school you're seeing a therapist you've endangered the children oh
00:29:41he's talking about that car crash that wasn't my fault and and the therapist is seeing the both
00:29:47of us i i don't believe this this isn't dennis
00:29:53has divorce ever been discussed
00:29:58he's talked of separation but only when he's discouraged about himself 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 who
00:30:13whose spouses are the breadwinners i don't know what you mean men are asking for custody it could be
00:30:19some of the old what's good for the goose is good for the gander i see you mean men are
00:30:26trying to get
00:30:27even for the way they've been yes for the way they traditionally were taken to the cleaners
00:30:35the practice of the law as gender neutral as it tries to be still reflects the biases in our society
00:30:42this judge in your case for example the one dennis's lawyer has maneuvered us into having to deal with
00:30:49he's a conservative boston catholic who is not at all sympathetic to working women oh great he
00:30:55thinks moms belong in the home and should not be working i am at home as much as i can
00:31:01and still
00:31:02support the family my husband doesn't bring in any income at all look dennis took on most of the
00:31:10domestic side once he lost his job and i thought he was happy doing it
00:31:17how does a judge make a decision like this after only hearing one side they do it all the time
00:31:24and
00:31:24my job is to make sure that he hears the other side when do i get to see my children
00:31:32we go before the judge next week you'll be in violation if you try to see them before that phone
00:31:37contact that's all
00:31:44hey morning

00:32:11on this one man
00:32:14i told claire it wasn't another woman is it

00:32:47and you've done your fair share of sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself i was fired and why

00:39:00you took over the hunter and gatherers job look 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 gonna be a robber
00:39:25all right claire our main objective here is to make a good impression on the judge
00:39:36and to have a good evaluator appointed it's the evaluator in most cases who decides who gets the
00:39:41kids okay i'll do all the talking you 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 she has
00:40:03led an exemplary life she's strong mentally and physically she's well known in her community she's
00:40:10respected 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
00:40:23that she was an unfit mother she had no idea that he was serious about wanting a divorce
00:40:29behind her back he came to this court and presented evidence purporting to show her in a state of
00:40:36personal crisis the evidence to that effect is filled with coincidence erroneous supposition even a few
00:40:43outright lies to put it bluntly he set her up objection your honor there's no proof of any setup
00:40:50and no proof against it mr raphael deliberately manipulated the situation in order to make his wife look
00:40:56bad we therefore request that the order to vacate be nullified and the children be returned to her
00:41:02care we are not here to try this case counsel what the father's affidavit says the children are doing
00:41:09quite well without her they don't even know they're without me mrs raphael this is a hearing nothing you
00:41:17say has any bearing since you have not been put under oath in this proceeding your council speaks for you
00:41:22do you understand yes sir your honor we request that she be put under oath further we would like
00:41:29to bring in witnesses to attest to her diligence as a mother no time since the parties disagree on who
00:41:37shall have custody i'll name an evaluator who will prepare a recommendation any requests janice goldman
00:41:44john eden your honor john eden it is he will study the behavior and emotions of the family relationships
00:41:50then make his recommendation how long will that be mr petrie remind your client she may not speak at
00:41:58this hearing your honor regarding temporary custody the children will stay with their father can the
00:42:04mother live in the house until the evaluator files his report is that acceptable no your honor mrs raphael
00:42:12is clearly angry she became violent at her home the night she was served the police were called
00:42:17there's no telling what she might do to her husband or to the children i would never
00:42:23the order stands pending the evaluator's report father stays at home with the children mother
00:42:30travels anyway she'll find lodging when she's in town visitation rights then wednesdays and saturdays
00:42:36on 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 this is my life my children he says he has no time carter this is so unfair fairness
00:42:54has
00:42:54little to do with divorce proceedings claire carter it's always good to see you my client says mrs
00:43:01rafael can see the children on wednesdays after they get home from school if she wants to pick up a
00:43:06few
00:43:06things she can do so one hour prior to that visitation rona claire yeah 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 her vitals
00:43:20are unstable i think you should get here as soon as possible
00:43:28okay
00:43:30bye
00:43:33carter i have to go i my sister says there's very little time
00:43:38your mom

00:43:50if i had known she was this sick i i wouldn't have left last week
00:43:56that's not what she wants she wants us to live our lives
00:44:02just feels like i i missed the signs of so many things i
00:44:12the guilt is overwhelming you didn't miss the signs knowing you you probably saw them all but
00:44:19hope they meant something else i knew dennis was unhappy and i i just kept pushing it down
00:44:26so far i stopped feeling do you still love him
00:44:44hello doctor how are we doing about the same

00:47:54Yeah, I suppose it is.
00:48:04This for me?
00:48:05It's got your name on it.
00:48:20I guess I'll just go and pack some of my things.
00:48:41I do just fine when you're gone.
00:48:43Then you walk back into the house and make me feel worthless all over again.
00:48:47How?
00:48:50I haven't said a thing.
00:48:52You don't have to.
00:48:59I want you to know one thing.
00:49:02I will never give you the children.
00:49:07I'll tell them after you leave.
00:49:09No, you won't.
00:49:10I'll tell them while I'm here.
00:49:16Hey!
00:49:17Mom?
00:49:19Hey!
00:49:20Where are you?
00:49:20I'm here!
00:49:21Mom!
00:49:22Yes!
00:49:23How are you?
00:49:25How are you?
00:49:26I missed you guys so much.
00:49:28Nice man.
00:49:30She's good.
00:49:31She's fighting this really hard.
00:49:33And Aunt Rona says,
00:49:34Hello!
00:49:36Hello!
00:49:37How you been?
00:49:37Can you make some grace?
00:49:39Sure.
00:49:40You can make them, but you can't eat them until after dinner.
00:49:42Dad?
00:49:43That's it, Chief.
00:49:44Let's go.
00:49:44Let's make them.
00:49:44Let's make them.
00:49:45Let's make them.
00:49:45Let's get them.
00:49:48Mom, I scored eight points yesterday.
00:49:50Dad said it was the best game that I ever played.
00:49:53Good for you.
00:49:54I got to take the classroom fish home for the weekend.
00:49:57Really?
00:49:57And it's still alive?
00:49:59Mom!
00:49:59Um, come on, cookie maker.
00:50:06Oh, perfect.
00:50:11I missed you.
00:50:13Can you get a job where you don't have to go away?
00:50:22You want to go for a bike ride after this?
00:50:25Yeah.
00:50:26What are we having for supper?
00:50:31I don't know.
00:50:36Um, I'm not allowed to stay for supper.
00:50:42Why?
00:50:48Your dad and I are, um, in a difficult place.
00:50:57We're going to, uh, get a divorce.
00:51:04And the judge says that dad is the one who's going to stay with you for a while.
00:51:11It's nobody's fault.
00:51:15You're not going to lose either one of us, okay?
00:51:21And we're both here for you.
00:51:24We both love you.
00:51:27We're just going to live in different houses from now on.
00:51:36But we're both still going to be your parents.
00:51:39We're both still going to do things together.
00:51:43No!
00:51:46No!
00:51:47No!
00:51:55What are you doing?
00:51:57What are you doing?
00:51:59What are you doing?
00:52:00Johnny?
00:52:02Kiki?
00:52:06Kiki?
00:52:07Johnny?
00:52:08Listen, we're all going to be okay.
00:52:11Go away!
00:52:13Go away!
00:52:15Go away!
00:52:15Why are you getting a divorce?
00:52:20Because.
00:52:26Johnny?
00:52:27Johnny, open up.
00:52:33Johnny.
00:52:35Johnny, please open up.
00:52:36I want to talk to you.
00:52:38Please.
00:52:46Mommy's got to go, Johnny.
00:52:48Listen, it isn't always going to be like this.
00:52:51The court just needs time to figure out how it's going to arrange things.
00:52:56How can a court decide how to arrange things?
00:52:58It 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.
00:53:09I'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 on Friday, okay?
00:53:21We're going to work it out.
00:53:23I promise.
00:53:24We're going to work it out.
00:53:25This is all Dad's fault.
00:53:39Mommy?
00:53:40Mommy?
00:53:41Oh, sweetie.
00:53:42She's got to go.
00:53:44She's got to go.
00:53:46She's got to go.
00:53:46Johnny, Johnny.
00:54:12She's got to go.
00:54:13Here, Katie.
00:54:13Okay, be careful.
00:54:14Hurry up!
00:54:32Hi.
00:54:33Oh, hi.
00:54:36Excuse me, but how do you, uh, rent a lighthouse?
00:54:42Doesn't the lighthouse keeper have to live here?
00:54:43Well, not after they're decommissioned.
00:54:46Did you, uh, see my ad?
00:54:48No.
00:54:51No, I just came out here to think.
00:54:55I've been sort of, uh, decommissioned myself.
00:55:00Uh, I 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?
00:55:30Mummy, 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!
00:55:51Supper!
00:55:54Johnny, you got five seconds.
00:55:56Do you hear me?
00:55:56You got five seconds to get back in here.
00:55:58Five seconds!
00:55:59Uh, honey.
00:56:00Kiki.
00:56:01Honey, talk to me.
00:56:02What's going on?
00:56:03Come on!
00:56:04Supper!
00:56:04I don't want to eat supper.
00:56:06I want you to come home.
00:56:07I-I can't come home.
00:56:09But I could talk to you and Johnny on the phone.
00:56:11As 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?
00:56:25It-
00:56:27What?
00:56:30Oh, God.
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.
00:57:01I'm wondering if he really wants the kids or he's just using them for protection.
00:57:08From 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.
00:57:22He 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.
00:57:33Honey, whatever you wanted, you left way behind in the dust.
00:57:39Maybe 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? That would be terrible for them, Carter.
00:58:26Isn't there some way not to involve them?
00:58:29There are three ways, actually.
00:58:31You can give the kids to Dennis, he can give them to you, or 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,
00:59:19he 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.
00:59:29Unfortunately, marriage is not like other contracts in my experience.
00:59:32As soon as one person wants out, it's over.
00:59:40Okay.
00:59:41Tell me what to do, Carter.
00:59:44You 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 drill, leave your name and message after you hear the tone.
00:59:59Don't hang up.
01:00:00Hey Alice, it's Claire.
01:00:03Listen, 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.
01:00:34The police?
01:00:55Hello?
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.
01:01:34What 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? Did 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. I don't want any of this.
01:02:45I wanted a husband. I wanted a marriage. I 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.
01:03:09Jesus 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?
01:03:26To 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.
01:03:36You 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. I can't. You have to...
01:04:03Look, Johnny.
01:04:04I may be wrong here,
01:04:06but I get the feeling that what you're trying to do is get your 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,
01:04:18the 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?
01:04:38I 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.
01:04:45To Kiki and me throwing her out like that.
01:04:48But that wasn't your dad. That 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,
01:05:16we might as well take Johnny into protective custody right now.
01:05:18No, wait a minute. Wait.
01:05:20How can't we find a solution that keeps Johnny home?
01:05:25I'm sorry.
01:05:29It's Rona.
01:05:33Hello, Rona?
01:05:38Oh.
01:05:41Okay.
01:05:46What is it?
01:05:48Mommy?
01:05:52My mommy just died.
01:05:59She just died.
01:06:04I'm really sorry, Mom.
01:06:08Thank you, Johnny.
01:06:09Daddy.
01:06:13I'm sorry that...
01:06:15Daddy and I are putting you through this.
01:06:18I really am.
01:06:39Was she sick long?
01:06:42A while, yeah.
01:06:45It must have been tough on her...
01:06:48having to go through all this while her mom was dying.
01:06:53Dad, I want to go to Nana's funeral.
01:06:57What is your mom saying?
01:06:59She said she wants me to come.
01:07:01But it was up to you to let me go.
01:07:04Do we have to ask the judge's permission for him to be with his mom?
01:07:08No.
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.
01:07:19Come on.
01:07:28Johnny says he wants to go to the funeral.
01:07:32I'd like that.
01:07:34I don't want to be by myself.
01:07:38Can he, uh, come with me?
01:07:41Spend the night?
01:07:48Spend the night.
01:07:49Can I spend the night, too?
01:07:53Okay.
01:07:57Come on.
01:08:01Are you okay to drive, ma'am?
01:08:04Yeah, sure. We'll be fine.
01:08:07Night, Dad.
01:08:10God, sweetie.
01:08:15I'll see you.
01:08:16Bye, Johnny.
01:08:16Bye, Dad.
01:08:54Is 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.
01:09:11Thanks for not being mad at me.
01:09:12I love you, you know.
01:09:14Love you more.
01:09:17Thanks.
01:09:18Thanks for not being mad at me.
01:09:22Thanks for not being mad at me.
01:09:24Wow.
01:09:26Mom, my room was the best.
01:09:28Mine is better.
01:09:32How about if I, uh, I make us some vanilla milk?
01:09:35I should make it.
01:09:37You know you're sad about your mom.
01:09:40It's okay.
01:09:42I like having something to do.
01:09:44We'll come with you.
01:10:02I like having something to do.
01:10:10We'll come with you.
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.
01:10:32Come on.
01:10:34I don't know what's going on with me.
01:10:37I'm, uh...
01:10:42Yeah, well, we all go through that sometimes.
01:10:44You know, we all spend a little time in the penalty box, you know?
01:10:47You know when you asked me why I hadn't put anything together in business?
01:10:51I didn't have the guts to tell you.
01:10:53Tell me what?
01:10:55In the last couple of years, I've been up for three decent positions.
01:11:00Big firms, upper management, all the perks.
01:11:04I didn't know.
01:11:05Here you go, sir.
01:11:06Yep, 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.
01:11:26I 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.
01:11:49This may surprise you.
01:11:54But for the first time in my life, I don't feel needed.
01:11:59Not by Claire, not by the kids.
01:12:04And I don't like it.
01:12:07And it's tearing me up.
01:12:18And all the animals cheered.
01:12:19And 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.
01:12:36I 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.
01:13:06But I could ask him to the funeral if you want me to.
01:13:10Is that OK?
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 in your family,
01:13:21you need who's ever left.
01:13:26A child charging his parent with abuse,
01:13:28trying to get his custody changed?
01:13:30I've never heard of such a thing.
01:13:32Why didn't you call me?
01:13:34We can sue the county on this, I'll bet.
01:13:37Do 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 OK 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?
01:14:07Now, 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?
01:14:47I don't want you to do another thing until you hear from me.
01:14:59surprised.
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.
01:15:23You want to come?
01:15:24Of course I do.
01:15:26Look at his face.
01:15:27He looks so eager.
01:15:30Oh, look at mom, she looks so beautiful, she had some meat then.
01:15:35Well, I know what you got there.
01:15:37Put those down there, use that one there.
01:15:39No, no, no, I already used that one.
01:15:41No, put that, use that one.
01:15:42Okay, go.
01:15:44Can I go to two?
01:15:45I'm gonna go show dad.
01:15:47Put that down, what do you got now?
01:15:49Try to ask for one.
01:15:51Oh, wow.
01:15:53That's beautiful.
01:15:55That's so nice.
01:15:57I love it, I gotta frame it.
01:16:00Thanks, daddy.
01:16:03Hey, who's late?
01:16:05I wonder who that is.
01:16:09So, I'm gonna go check in a motel.
01:16:14There's a bedroom over the garage if you want.
01:16:16Okay, thanks.
01:16:20Okay, you guys, don't forget your homework.
01:16:21I'm gonna go sleep in the backyard.
01:16:23Backyard?
01:16:24Just check and see if you're paying attention.
01:16:27Okay, so before Ted goes and checks into the backyard,
01:16:31I really wanted to thank you all for being here.
01:16:34It's okay, mom.
01:16:36We'll see you later.
01:16:37Bye, Ed.
01:16:37Come on, Dennis.
01:16:37I'll get you set up in the garage.
01:16:39Okay, thanks.
01:16:41Okay, come on, homework.
01:16:48Hi.
01:17:01I'm sorry about you, mom.
01:17:09I'd like to think if I had known it was this close that I would have waited on this whole
01:17:13thing.
01:17:16I'm not so sure that I would have.
01:17:21I wasn't thinking about you.
01:17:24I wasn't thinking about you either.
01:17:27Why should you?
01:17:28I let you down.
01:17:29You didn't let me down.
01:17:30Yes, I did.
01:17:31You didn't.
01:17:32Yes, I did, Claire.
01:17:37Do you know that I was never happy selling stocks and bonds?
01:17:40No matter how much I tried to convince myself otherwise.
01:17:44You know that?
01:17:45I got fired for all the right reasons.
01:17:47I was doing a lousy job.
01:17:50It's not that I didn't want another position.
01:17:57I couldn't get one, Claire.
01:18:01So I blamed you for not being sympathetic.
01:18:03I blamed you for catching all the breaks.
01:18:06I blamed you for your success.
01:18:09It wasn't just my success.
01:18:11It was our success.
01:18:13All of us.
01:18:16I couldn't see it that way.
01:18:20You know, I know now that while the business means a lot to me,
01:18:28it pales in comparison in the way I feel for you and the children.
01:18:37I have to start over.
01:18:39You know...
01:18:48Fifteen years, we've built so many good things.
01:18:58I don't want to lose you.
01:19:01I don't.
01:19:05I...
01:19:11I can't breathe when I'm with you, Claire.
01:19:17I can't do anything with you looking over my shoulder.
01:19:23It makes me feel...
01:19:27Diminished.
01:19:30I have to do this alone.
01:19:34I still want the divorce.
01:19:41Okay.
01:19:46I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord.
01:19:50He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
01:19:54And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
01:19:59In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life,
01:20:02through our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:20:04we recommend to Almighty God our sister Constance,
01:20:08and we commit her body to the ground,
01:20:11earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
01:20:17The Lord bless her and keep her.
01:20:19The Lord make his face to shine upon her,
01:20:22and be gracious unto her.
01:20:24The Lord lift up his countenance upon her,
01:20:27and give her peace.
01:20:30Amen.
01:20:32Amen.
01:20:36Come on, Nick. Over here. Pass it.
01:20:42Dad, wanna come play?
01:20:43Okay, okay. Certainly.
01:20:46Nick.
01:20:51It's weird, Dennis, being here.
01:20:53Nick!
01:20:54It's just the beginning of weird.
01:20:57We've got birthdays,
01:21:01Christmas, graduations.
01:21:02I'm sorry, Claire. I really am.
01:21:06And I'm sorry for being so distant all these years.
01:21:09It's just, no matter what I do,
01:21:12I never seem to stand as tall in my shoes as you look in yours.
01:21:17Standing too tall in my shoes?
01:21:18Just ended my marriage.
01:21:25Wish she could stay here a couple days?
01:21:28To let this sink in?
01:21:31I saw Mom every day. I was ready for her death.
01:21:34You weren't.
01:21:37Forgive me, Rona, for not being here with you or Mom.
01:21:42Oh.
01:21:43I don't know. Maybe.
01:21:46Only if you invite me to come see you get your award.
01:21:51I would love for you to be there.
01:21:58Mom.
01:22:02Mom.
01:22:03Well, I must say that I'm pleased to see that you're trying to settle this through mediation.
01:22:09But you do realize that anything agreed here must be approved by the court.
01:22:14We're aware of that. Can we start?
01:22:18We both know what would be fair.
01:22:21Well, then, perhaps, you should begin.
01:22:28Let's start with your business.
01:22:33I'm not going to make any claim on that. It's yours.
01:22:39All right.
01:22:41And I've asked my mother for a loan until I get a job, so I probably won't need anything else
01:22:44from you other than my share of the house.
01:22:51Take the house.
01:22:53That would help a lot.
01:22:55And the kids?
01:22:56Well, I'm... I'm prepared to...
01:22:58No.
01:22:58Shh.
01:23:00That's a responsibility we should share.
01:23:03I'd like that.
01:23:08We're going to try each of us taking you a week at a time, everything even.
01:23:11And on your birthdays, we'll both see you.
01:23:14And you'll see both of us on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
01:23:17Who'll take us to the doctor?
01:23:19Whoever has you when the appointment comes.
01:23:21Well, what if one of you gets sick?
01:23:23Will the other come and take care of you?
01:23:25We'll both do what you need.
01:23:27Okay?
01:23:29And for the rest of it, we'll just have to figure it out as we go along.
01:23:34You ready, guys?
01:23:35Ready.
01:23:41Bye.
01:23:42I love you. Bye, Mom.
01:23:46See you.
01:23:54Yes! All right, let's go.
01:23:58Come on!
01:23:59Come on, let's go!
01:24:02Go, go, go, go!
01:24:03Johnny!
01:24:06Johnny!
01:24:07Johnny!
01:24:09Don't, Mom, it upsets him.
01:24:11It does?
01:24:12No, it doesn't.
01:24:13He likes hearing me up here.
01:24:15That was last month.
01:24:17And I was embarrassed.
01:24:19Who knew?
01:24:22Stay with him.
01:24:23Stay with him.
01:24:23There's Sarah. Can I go see her?
01:24:25Yeah.
01:24:25Hi, Sarah.
01:24:29Hi, Rona.
01:24:31Hi, Rona.
01:24:33Underneath! Underneath!
01:24:33Come on, Blue, let's go!
01:24:36Yes!
01:24:36Way to go!
01:24:37Break, break, break, break, break!
01:24:39Now, now, you gotta take it!
01:24:40Hold the mic!
01:24:41Yeah!
01:24:43Woo!
01:24:44Woo!
01:24:47Woo!
01:24:47Woo!
01:24:47All right!
01:24:48Yeah!
01:24:49Woo!
01:24:51Woo!
01:24:52Woo!
01:24:52Woo!
01:24:57Every 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.
01:25:11A little hyperbole goes a long way.
01:25:13Uh, this year, that award goes to the woman who has created this world of beautiful furniture in which we
01:25:20now stand.
01:25:21Ladies and gentlemen, here she is, Claire Raphael, Woman of the Year.
01:25:29Thank you very much for your time.
01:25:37Uh, the 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.
01:26:01And 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.
01:26:14Thank you all for coming.
01:26:42Bye.
01:26:43All right.
01:27:06They're now à .
