Mrs. Doubtfire Page #2

Our problems would be waiting for us

when we got back.

We'll move, and hopefully

our problems won't follow us.

Daniel, please don't joke.

OK.

We've just grown apart. We're different.

- We have nothing in common.

- Oh, sure we do. We love each other.

Come on, Miranda. We love each other.

Don't we?

I want a divorce.

No.

We can't. We're a family. You know?

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, Ma, he told me all about it.

Yeah, Ma. I heard, I heard.

- Well, yeah, he's here.

- No.

Ma, he's not really in the mood to talk.

Yeah, depressed.

I mean, his marriage is ending.

My marriage is not ending.

It's just on hiatus.

Ma, I think he's in a little bit of denial.

No, we're taking good care of

your little boy. Don't worry, Mom.

- Hi, Evelyn. Thanks for the jam.

- She says you're welcome.

That beige concealer.

When are we gettin' more of it?

- Next week.

- You hear that, Ma? Next week.

Wait, hang on.

- Enough already. It's a man.

- How would you know?

B*tch.

No, Ma, not you.

I was talkin' about the dog.

Ma, listen. We got people

waitin' for us on the set.

Oh, yeah. It's a busy life, Ma.

Places to go, faces to paint.

Yeah, I'll tell him, Ma.

Don't worry, I'll tell him.

Yeah. Hold on, Ma.

She wants to know

if you want to come stay with her.

- No way.

- He says he'll think about it, Ma.

I will. All right. I love you, too.

Bye, Ma.

Hey, listen, you know you can always

stay with us just as long as you want.

Thank you, but I'm OK, really.

I mean, this is just a temporary thing.

I know Miranda. It's gonna blow over.

Mr and Mrs Hillard, although these custody

proceedings tend to favor the mother,

we also realize, perhaps now more than

ever, that it is not in a child's best interest

to deprive him or her

of an obviously loving father.

However, since at the present time Mr Hillard

has no place to live and no employment,

it is the court's ruling

to award sole custody to Mrs Hillard.

- Congratulations.

- No.

Mr Hillard will have visitation rights

every Saturday.

- Can't you do something?

- He's made his decision.

Isn't it traditional

to say "I object" or something?

Your Honor, please.

Every Saturday? That's one day a week.

That's not enough.

I have to be with my children. It's not

a question. I have to be with them, sir. Please.

I know it seems like a lot,

but for me it's not enough. Really.

I haven't been away from 'em for more than

one day since the day they were born.

- Mr Hillard, this ruling is only temporary.

- Oh, good.

I will assign a court liaison

to oversee your case.

There will be a continuance

of these proceedings in 90 days.

- I'm giving you three months, Mr Hillard.
