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.

You're gonna give them back to me.

You stay out of my way.

- Think you gonna let my mama die?

Calm down. Come on, calm down.

You gonna let them bury my mama

and you don't tell me, Wilbert?

- You should've been there for your mama.

- That's right.

- You know it ain't right.

- It's too late now.

Daddy, you know this place

is too small for all of us.

- We don't have anywhere else to go.

- We can go live with Mama.

China, Mama don't want us. She never did.

- That is not true.

- It is true.

- Is that true, Daddy?

- I'll tell you what is true.

I want you all to come stay with me.

Where are we gonna sleep?

Well, I'm gonna sleep on the couch

and you guys,

I mean girls,

are gonna sleep in the bedroom.

I fixed it up.

How bad was it before?

Daddy, China pees in the bed.

And I ain't sleeping with her.

I do not.

Why I got to put up

with being insulted like that?

- What's wrong with you?

- Whatever.

We need some separate beds

or some bunk beds or something

- 'cause this ain't gonna work.

- Well, I'll work on it, okay?

Well, while you work on it,

how about feeding us?

And getting all three of us some food?

'Cause all three of us are hungry.

You know what?

You got a mouth like your mama.

You need to put your clothes

in them drawers right here. Thank you.

I like this bedroom.

Lord, how am I gonna do this?

Man, I can't believe I'm doing this.

You waiting for Ms. Rossmore?

Yeah. Rossmore. Julia Rossmore.

Good luck.

What do you mean, "Good luck"?

- 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.
