I disagree.
We're getting nowhere if we're
not being honest with eachother.
I am being honest.
I see. Fine. Well, I'm not leaving
without her.
Well, welcome to Florida.
Frank, please listen to reason.
At some point, are you gonna get to
conclusion...
or someone in authority are going to
spell it out for you...
that the child best interest is all that
matters.
You're gonna make me pull rank, I will.
Diane didn't want you to have her.
Diane...
Diane didn't always think things through.
Argue with propably one of the
brightest minds on the planet.
Good luck going down that road.
And what do you thin she'd say if she saw
Do you honestly think she'd be pleased?
That she's living somewhat normal life? Yes.
I do.
She's not normal. And threating her such...
is negligence on a grand scale.
I know your heart's in the
right place on this.
But you are denying the girl her potential.
I can provide for her. I can enrich
her life.
Come on, Evelyn.
You're gonna take that girl, you are gonna
bury her in tutors...
The you'll lown her out to some
think tank
where she could talk non-trivial zeros...
with a bunch of old Russian guys
for the rest of her life.
And you'd bury her under a rock.
Look, I didn't expect you to understand the
price you have to pay for greatness.
I do. That's why I have Mary in the
first place.
That's uncalled for.
Your sister had a laundry list
of problems.
She could have solved Navier-Stokes
and go down in the history
as one of the greatest mathematicians
of all time.
But she didn't, because she couldn't finish.
She was weak. Weak like a father
and weak like...
Well...
Now, if it's who I think it is...
Kinda puts a black cloud over our luncheon.
You're still stubborn and vindictive.
Careful, Mother.
There's an apple and tree
analogy lurking.
You guys ready to order?
Here's an idea.
Stop thinking about me and you...
and start thinking what's best
for a child.
For any reasonable person,
If it doesn't, I suggest you call
your attorney.
He'll have a bucket of beer.
Let's go outside.
No.
Come on. It's nice out.
I don't care.
No more math today.
Is there a God?
I don't know.
Just tell me.
I would if I could.
But I don't know. Neither does anybody
else.
Roberta knows.
No. Roberta has faith...
and that's the great thing to have.
But faith's about what you think, feel.
Not what you know.
What about Jesus?
Love that guy. Do what he says.
But is he God?
I don't know.
I have an opinion.
But that's my opinion and
I could be wrong.
So why would I screw up yours?
Use your head.
But don't be afraid to believe in things
habit.
There was a guy on TV who said
there was no God.
The only thing different between
the things you saw on TV and Roberta
is Roberta loves you. She tries to help.
Tell you what though.
When we all one another,
we all end up back together at the end.
That's what you're asking, right?
Yep.
Okay.
Find something else to worry about, will ya?
All right.
Okay. Adler, grandmother and uncle.
Really?
Sure you folks don't wanna go on the hall
and settle this?
No? Well, that's a shame.
- Mr. Cullen, you're here for the uncle.
- Yes, I am, your honor.
Start charging you room and board.
Mr. Highsmith, you're on the wrong side
of a bay, aren't you?
I'm very happy to be here, Your Honor.
For the record, Mrs. Dibbons is
representing the state of Florida
Child Welfare Department.
Proceed.
Your Honor, my client Mrs. Adler
is the maternal grandmother of the child.
Her daughter, the girl's mother
was the troubled woman...
who seven years ago sadly took her own
life.
It was at this time that Mr. Adler
primitively and illegally took
custody of the girl and spirited her
across eight lines...
client custody.
And there's the evidence that the
child currently lives
in unclean and unwholesome conditions.
We petition to court?to grant my client
and full custoy of the child...
so that she can return to the state
of Massachusetts...
and given the care to which
she is entitled.
My client took an infant under his wing
for one reason only.
It was his sister's desire
that he do so.
My client has been her
constant caregiver.
And your Honor, as far as the living
conditions...
I've been in this home.
It's fine.
I mean, if we adopt standards based on
our friend's aversion to palmetto bugs...
we won't have a child left
side of Tallahassee.
All right, last chance before this starts
cost a lot more money.
Your Honor, my client would
need reasonable acess to the child.
So ordered.
Ms. Dibbons, would you go out and
check the living conditions?
On the books, Your Honor.
All right, folks.
Drive carefully.
Her lawyer has a nice suit.
Relax, Frank. More weight's
put on the talent competition.
Go have a cocktail.
Roberta, would you like to have
Mary tonight?
Why wouldn't I like
to have Mary tonight?
I told you something like this
would happen.
Now look where we are.
And I'm supposed to believe
you know what you're doing.
You couldn't even find the
white lawyer.
Look, just...
- Don't worry, okay?
- Don't tell me that.
There's nothing you can say that's
make me fell good...
because I have no say in any of this,
Frank.
I'm not a blood relative,
I'm not a legal guardian.
I'm nothing.
Just the lady who lives next door,
Would I like to have Mary
tonight?
I'd like to have Mary every
night.
d Can't stop me now d
d Hear what I say d
d My feet gotta move so d
d get out my way d
d I'm gonna have my say d
d I'm going to every discotheque. d

d And I said shame, shame, shame d
d shame, shame, shame d
d Shame, shame on you d
Hi.
Hi.
a custody case...
and the I found out who's
and I am...
I feel terrible. But I also wanted you
to know that after we talked...
I didn't say anything to anyone.
I swear.
And it's important to me
that you know that.
I know.
Okay.
My lawyer told me to get
drunk.
And you trying to do it
with that?
Okay. My turn.
Who was your first
celebrity crush?
I'll go with...
Mona from Who's the boss?
- Oh, wow.
- You know what I'm talking about?
- The sexy grandmother.
- Yeah!
I always felt like she
had a secret.
Yeah, which is that she loved
sexual intercourse.
That was it.
And she wasn't secret about it.
That's why I liked her.
You know what? I liked her too.
See?
All right.
Least favourite student.
And why.
Oh, no! I love all
my students.
I don't believe you. Not at all!
Not for a second.
No, they're all great.
They're all so great.
Let's keep this honest.
He? She?
He is Ronnie Middleton.
