Daddy's Little Girls Page #3

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.

- No, I like silence.

- Yes, ma'am.

Silence.

You've missed your turn.

I asked you to take the freeway.

Well, you know what?

This way is much faster.

Excuse me?

Yeah. You seem like you're in a rush

and this way is faster, so...

Yeah, I am in a rush and I know this city!

The freeway would have bypassed

all of this lunchtime traffic.

I cannot believe this.

- Why are you stopping?

- Because we're here now.

- Next time follow my instructions, okay?

- Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Rossmore.

The jury has a question

that they need answered.

They want to know if

the damage award can be higher

- than what was previously requested.

- Well, Your Honor...

How's the driving going?

Oh, look, she is something else.

I know. I've worked for her four years.

She's good though. She wins every case.

And this is a big one.

Settlement.

That means she just won a grip of money.

She's that good?

My client's willing to talk.

Oh, and she's also impatient.

So you might want to get out to the car.

Sorry about that.

Your Honor, the people have no evidence.

- We have evidence.

- That is not admissible.

The search warrant gave them the right

to search the house not the car.

- He's right.

- Your Honor...

The evidence of the drugs is inadmissible.

In that case, Your Honor, we immediately

ask that all the charges be dropped

and that the case be dismissed

with prejudice.

Your Honor, we need to get him

out of the neighborhood.

Then your officers

should have been more careful.

- Where is your eyewitness?

- He has intimidated the entire community.

Then your office

has its work cut out for them.

I'm dismissing all the charges.

Adjourned.

They can't hold me, baby.

- You're the man.

- Thank you.

You want some pizza?

All right, I'm gonna bring some for you.

All right, I'll there soon.

I love you.

- Well, do you see this?

- Yeah, I see it.

I see it.

You looking like a little massa boy.

Wow. So, you had to get yourself

another job, huh?

Yeah, I know feeding them girls

ain't easy, huh?

Here. Let me help you out.

Let me see what I got in here.

Oh, look at that. Here. Take it.

- Stop it.

- Take it.

Oh, so, what, you Mr. Do the Right Thing?

Oh, so, you don't want this money.

It's okay. I'll take it back.

- You gonna leave me alone?

- What you gonna do, baby?

You see that brother right there?

If I even break a nail,

he will shut you down.

And I'm coming for my daughters.

You don't even want your kids. Huh?

Now, why would you do all this?

You tried to turn my mama against me,

huh?

You tried to turn my kids against me?

It ain't gonna happen, baby.

Yeah, I'm gonna make your life hell,

little punk.

Look at him, Joe. I think he getting mad.
