Daddy's Little Girls Page #2

Synopsis: A mechanic (Elba) enlists the help of a successful-but-lonely attorney (Union) while trying to wrest custody of his three daughters from his treacherous ex-wife and her larcenous boy friend. Along the way, the working relationship between the blue collar dad and his uptown attorney grows into something more. This is a simple, touching story of two people trying to overcome their different backgrounds to find love, a down-on-his-luck man struggling to protect his children from abuse and neglect, and a community looking to purge itself from the criminals terrorizing their neighborhood.

- Good day, Ms. Rossmore.

- Good morning.

- You gonna open the door?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Can you close the door?

- Yeah.

What you laughing at?

Tell him to meet me there.

Tell him to wait then.

I'm surprised

the jury has returned so soon, myself.

No, it's a great thing. Yeah, definitely.

All right, see you in a second.

Did they tell you I need you to be on call?

- Oh, you talking to me?

- You're the only other person in the car.

Oh, no. You know what? I thought

you were still on the phone, you know.

Well, basically, all I need you to do

is get me to the office and get me to court.

Sometimes I work late.

And sometimes I entertain clients

after work, that sort of thing.

You know what, Ms. Rossmore? Right now

I need all the overtime I can get so...

- I'm sorry. What's your name?

- Monty.

Monty. Look, I don't like to fraternize so

let's keep this strictly professional. Okay?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Fabulous.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry about that.

Are you... Am I getting punked?

No, you're not getting punked, ma'am.

I just, you know,

thought you might want the radio on.

- No, I like silence.

- Yes, ma'am.

Silence.

You've missed your turn.

I asked you to take the freeway.

Well, you know what?

This way is much faster.

Excuse me?

Yeah. You seem like you're in a rush

and this way is faster, so...

Yeah, I am in a rush and I know this city!

The freeway would have bypassed

all of this lunchtime traffic.

I cannot believe this.

- Why are you stopping?

- Because we're here now.

- Next time follow my instructions, okay?

- Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Rossmore.

The jury has a question

that they need answered.

They want to know if

the damage award can be higher

- than what was previously requested.

- Well, Your Honor...

How's the driving going?

Oh, look, she is something else.

I know. I've worked for her four years.

She's good though. She wins every case.

And this is a big one.

Settlement.

That means she just won a grip of money.

She's that good?

My client's willing to talk.

Oh, and she's also impatient.

So you might want to get out to the car.

Sorry about that.

Your Honor, the people have no evidence.

- We have evidence.

- That is not admissible.

The search warrant gave them the right

to search the house not the car.

- He's right.

- Your Honor...

The evidence of the drugs is inadmissible.

In that case, Your Honor, we immediately

ask that all the charges be dropped

and that the case be dismissed

with prejudice.

Your Honor, we need to get him

out of the neighborhood.

Then your officers

should have been more careful.

- Where is your eyewitness?

- He has intimidated the entire community.

Then your office

has its work cut out for them.

I'm dismissing all the charges.

Adjourned.

They can't hold me, baby.

- You're the man.

- Thank you.

You want some pizza?

All right, I'm gonna bring some for you.

All right, I'll there soon.

I love you.

- Well, do you see this?

- Yeah, I see it.

I see it.

You looking like a little massa boy.

Wow. So, you had to get yourself

another job, huh?

Yeah, I know feeding them girls

ain't easy, huh?

Here. Let me help you out.

Let me see what I got in here.

Oh, look at that. Here. Take it.

- Stop it.

- Take it.

Oh, so, what, you Mr. Do the Right Thing?

Oh, so, you don't want this money.

It's okay. I'll take it back.

- You gonna leave me alone?

- What you gonna do, baby?

You see that brother right there?

If I even break a nail,

he will shut you down.

And I'm coming for my daughters.

You don't even want your kids. Huh?

Now, why would you do all this?

You tried to turn my mama against me,

huh?

You tried to turn my kids against me?

It ain't gonna happen, baby.

Yeah, I'm gonna make your life hell,

little punk.

Look at him, Joe. I think he getting mad.

He ain't gonna do nothing.

He's so scared to go back to jail.

Yeah. Go on, looking like a slave.

Go on, son. Mosey on down.

- Go on and drive the car.

- Come on, now, baby.

Let Stepin Fetchit get back to work now.

- Hey, man. Nice suit.

- Stepin Fetchit!

Look at you.

Looking just like a broke-down slave.

I must've been a fool

having three babies by you.

Oh, please. Yuck.

I'm just disgusted with myself.

- Do you think that's him?

- I think that's him.

- Hi.

- Excuse me.

Is this Ms. Rossmore's car?

- Who's asking?

- Yeah, this is it.

- Excuse us. It's okay.

- Excuse us.

- No, we got it.

- We know her.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

Oh, goodness.

- Ms. Rossmore, you got somebody...

- You gonna open my door?

- You got...

- Are you going to open my door?

What are you doing in my car?

It's that time.

- No, no.

- Yes.

I just want to celebrate

winning this case, okay?

- 3rd and Peachtree, please.

- I'm gonna have to pass on the blind date.

I knew she was gonna say that.

Didn't I tell you that?

- You're going out.

- I can't.

Do you know what your associates

are saying about you at the office?

I don't care.

They're saying that you need a man, okay?

And that you're taking it out

on everyone at the office.

And they also say that you would be

a nicer person if you just got laid.

I agree.

I don't need to get laid,

as you so eloquently put it.

Yes, you do.

Look, we have been your friends

since college. We know what you need.

Well, if you know me so well,

you'd know that I don't like blind dates.

- They all end in disaster.

- Julia!

First of all, I have a very, very good feeling

about this one. I do.

Hey, so, Julia, I heard

you was like a lawyer and stuff.

- I am.

- Yeah, so you got this then?

- The bill?

- Yes.

No, I'm serious, though.

This is a nice place.

I like this environment.

You know, it's gangster.

I feel like, you know,

you could do some things in here.

You know what else is nice?

You got some sexy-ass lips.

I just wanna bite them.

Suck on them. Suck your lips off your face.

Yeah.

I'm gonna kill Cynthia.

You don't wanna mess

with your boy right here.

I mean, if you like pleasure.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey, come here, player.

Yes, sir.

What kind of fish is this filet mignon?

- I'm sorry.

- Y'all got Chinese food?

I'm sorry. We don't, sir,

but how can I help you?

You know what,

just give me some scrimps, man,

and some hot sauce and some fries with it.

- And for the lady?

- Yeah. You know what?

This water is gonna be just fine.

So we can just speed it along?

- I understand.

- I bet you do.

And your scrimps will come out

right away, sir.

Thank you.

Can we get some bread, man?

We're the only table without bread.

- All the white people got bread.

- I apologize, sir.

- I'll get that to you right away.

- Thank you.

That's a lot of hot sauce.

Well, what do you do for a living?

Well, right now, I'm between jobs.

So I decided I'm gonna be a rapper.

- Yeah.

- That's something.
