- Thank you.

Three months in which to get a job,

keep it and create a suitable home.

If this proves to be a possibility for you,

I will consider a joint-custody arrangement

when we reconvene. We're adjourned.

Well, it looks like there is

a little light at the end of our tunnel.

- That's all my stuff.

- This is all my fault.

God, no. Why would you think that?

I should have never had a birthday, Dad.

- This never would have happened.

- Yes, it would.

It was an accident waiting to happen, OK?

You did nothing wrong. You got that?

OK, gimme five.

You're the man of the house now.

Don't be messy.

- You can't go now.

- Honey, I have to.

We're in the middle of Charlotte's Web.

Who's gonna finish it?

Well, Grandma will finish it for you.

She's not as good. She always skips parts,

and she never does the voices.

She smells funny, too.

That's the formaldehyde.

That's why Granny's so well preserved.

Hey, come here.

It's the same as always.

We just have a really big backyard, OK?

- I love you.

- I love you.

I'll miss you. Saturday comes real quick.

- I'll miss you.

- Ditto.

Oh, Dad...

- Take care of her.

- OK.

Goodbye.

Thanks for the time, warden.

Bye, Dad.

As your court liaison,

I will be looking at two things.

- Your living environment...

- It's more like a habitat, really.

And I will be coming by on Monday

and Friday evenings to inspect it.

Well, I'll put on a chicken.

And there's always the job issue.

This is the nearest employment office. I took

the liberty of making an appointment for you.

- Thank you.

- By the way, do you have any special skills?

Oh, yes. I do.

I do voices.

What do you mean, you do voices?

Well, I do voices.

Yes!

We're looking for intelligent life.

Oops, mistake!

Happy to be in America.

Don't ask for a green card.

I want you in the worst way.

This is certainly a rough meeting.

It's not going very well for me.

Hey, boss, give her a chance.

She's gonna loosen up any moment.

Look at me, Moneypenny.

I want to undo that bow and get to know you.

I'm crazy to make a deal with you!

Nancy and I are still looking for

the other half of my head.

They're doin' it!

I'm sittin' on a gold mine!

Don't make me smack you, sweetheart.

I do a great impression of a hot dog.

Mr Hillard, do you

consider yourself humorous?

I used to.

There was a time when I found myself funny.

But today you have proven me wrong.

Thank you.

Listen, bottom line...

I need to be with my children,

and I'll do anything to do that.

You just tell me what to do.

- Excuse me. You Tony?

- That's me.

Hi. I'm Daniel Hillard, the actor.

Follow me.

Oh, films! Will I be

introducing these movies on air?

- Not exactly.
