What Maisie Knew Page #2

earth-shattering moment.

Maisie?

Do you and your mom

sing together sometimes?

Sometimes.

Is it fun?

Well, it is what it is.

I hope you get what a farce this is.

I mean it's ridiculous.

We're not even married.

And listen, you know,

whatever he says ...

... be sure to factor in thirty

years of substance abuse.

Do you want the chicken?

Uh-huh.

Okay. Might be

a little bit spicy.

How does that happen?

Here you go.

Hello?

If you think it's all right.

Your Dad's coming up.

Heeey!

Oh, my sixth favorite girl.

Who's your other girls?

Oh, I can't tell you about those.

Why not?

It's a secret.

Do you want some Mandarin chicken?

Mmm, that sounds good.

Hi.

Hey.

I think she's coming back soon.

I know.

I'm just going to grab a few

things and then we'll, uh, ...

... we'll keep this our little secret.

Don't want to get Margo

decapitated, no?

Uh..uh.

Okay.

Okay, I got to dash.

But, uh, don't worry.

I'm uh, fixing things, okay?

And, uuh, thank you.

You're one in a million.

Hey.

Sh*t! Okay, thanks.

You're a prince.

That's Byron downstairs.

She's on her way up. So...

Ooh...

Hey. Up, up, up!

Come on.

The doors don't open

until ten after eight.

I've got to be at court

in 15 minutes.

All right, I guess you can leave her.

Thanks.

Love you.

My mum says you're

supposed to come with me.

To your house? Nah, we're

going to walk you home.

Bye.

Bye.

Hi, Maisie.

Hi, Byron.

You're not capable

of taking care of a child.

You know better.

No, I know you.

Really?

Yes, yes.

I know you.

No, Susanna, you don't know

anyone except yourself.

Shut up!

You breathe pain wherever you go.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

That's why the judge and

the expert, they saw that.

They saw you.

No! No!

Then why are they not

giving you sole custody?

Because you got a female

judge, that's why.

If that's what you want to

tell yourself, then fine.

If you want to tell your delude self.

Don't take her, man.

I'm not taking her.

Don't take her. I'm not taking her.

They gave her to me.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

Just the person

we want to see.

Honey, why don't you get

some clothes and things ...

... and stuff to take with us?

Do it!

It's okay.

It's okay.

She doesn't need you telling her

what I say is okay, a**hole!

Temper, temper.

There you go.

I'm right behind you.

Hi, Maisie.

Hi.

Can I take your bag?

You want to see your room?

So! What do you think?

You know, you have Margo to thank ...

for... most of this stuff.

Why don't I let you two catch

up on world events?

So, ...

... you surprised

to see me?

It's kind of funny, huh?

Hello. Hello.

Hello. Hello.

How much?

That's academic. Look, no one
