You know what, Mia?

I could not agree

with you more.

- What?

- It's great to know...

my daughter is living with

such a sensibleyoung woman.

You've got that rare thing, Mia.

You know what it is? It's character.

Some people have it, some people don't.

You have it.

Really? Thanks.

Um, I mean, you too.

That whole China thing was real good.

Yeah, I can-- I can definitely see

howyou do whatyou do.

I will. Bye.

- He's good, isn't he?

- Yeah.

Next time, you should be

a little easier on him.

Okay. But the difference is

he's my president and he's your father.

Not when he's calling

from the Oval Office, he's not.

Oval Office, Schmoval Office.

At some point, every father's gotta

learn to let go ofhis little girl.

And every little girl's gotta

learn to let go ofher father.

How doyou do that, Mia?

Oh, please, is she in there?

- Mia, I need your help.

- [ Clamoring Continues ]

Good thing I'm the R.A. then.

- What happened to Stewart?

- Stewart preferred something

a little lower key.

You can find him down at the "C" Wing

ifyou need him.

Sorry to hear that.

So, it seems you need

a place to hide out a bit.

Seems I do.

They have to leave

sooner or later, right?

[ Man ]

When's she coming out?

I have a better idea.

Here. Put this on.

There. And this.

Wait here for one minute.

- [ Sniffs ]

- You need a Kleenex?

Oh, no, I'm fine.

Follow my lead.

[James ]

Hey, Mike, come on.

You gonna leave her in there?

Hey, Sam, stay as long as you want.

- [ Murmuring ]

- [ Woman ] Where is she?

- [Woman ] Thankyou verymuch.

- [Man ] You too. Good luck.

- Mmm.

- You hate it, huh?

It tastes like freedom.

I should warn you

I'm a very slow eater.

- It's terrible on the system to rush.

- Yeah, I can see that.

So, there will be

plenty oftime for discussion.

Starting with the topic ofyou.

Tell me something I don't know.

- Something you don't know.

- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Brazil's the only country

named after a tree.

Bagged lettuce thatyou buy in the store,

Otherwise my husband

will never believe me.

Sure.

Oh,yourboyfriend

can be in the picture too.

- He's not my boyfriend.

- Oh.

You're such a beautiful young lady.

- Thankyou.

- And I'm so glad...

that you grew out of

that awkward stage.

And your bosom

came in very nicely.

- Would you like me to take the picture?

- No, no. I've got it.

Oh, that's nice.

Yes. Thankyou.

Really, don't feel obligated to tell me

anything about yourself.

Truthfully, one quick call

to the F.B.I. or the C.I.A....

and I can getyour blood type,

third-grade class picture...

and satellite photos

ofyour ex-girlfriend's homes.

The place used to be the gambling casino.

He likes it there

because ofthe memories.

- Oh, no.

Mr. Murdock wasn't born there, but most

ofhis best friends were killed there.

You know the police used to

raid it and everything.

[ Chuckles ]

Your face.

No, no, you're al I right.

The look you get.

I t's like--

It's like the first time I rode my bike

without training wheels.

It's likeyou're experiencing

everything for the first time.

I am.

- [Woman ] Wouldyou like something?

- You need to try this.

Will Fats be surprised?

He's expecting us.

- I picked you up an hour early.

We have lots of time.

- You get the bags. I'll undress.

- Thankyou.

- Enjoy it.

Well, go on, Mackenzie.
