Good morning.
Vanilla grande no-foam latte.
That's a wonderful choice.
-Thanks, Sam.
-Yeah.
Hey, Sam. They called.
It's time for you to go.
Oh, yeah, it's time.
It's time, buddy.
It's time for me to go now.
It's time for me to go now,
George!
Good luck.
It's time.
It's time now.
Hurry up. The first floor
is two more floors.
Hurry up.
The second floor--
one more floor.
I have to go to Room 324on the third floor.
Rebecca!
You the one responsiblefor this?
I'm sorry.
Too late for sorries.Get over here and hold her hand.
Are you OK?
Got a live one, Gert.
Good. Come on.
Focus and breathe.
This is it.
This is it.
This is it.
And it's a girl!
It's OK.
What's her name?
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy Diamond Dawson.
You're my daughter.
I'm your father.
Get them to make the bus stay.
They're leaving.
-I'll get them.
-They're leaving.
Excuse me.Hang on one second, please.
Becca!
Becca! The bus is going!
Uh-oh.
Didn't you just go to sleep?
Let me see.
OK.
Lucy, you look beautiful
this morning.
You look very beautiful.
Look at that, Lucy. Nose.
OK. Yeah, I--
Oopsie.
What the hell are you
doing to that baby?
What's the matter
with the baby, Sam?
Everything
is just so tiny, tiny.
Will you come over here
and help me?
You know I can't do that.
What does her mother say?
Her mother said,
"This isn't my life...
"and I didn't want
a baby with you.
"I just needed
a place to sleep."
What if the baby's sick?
Bring her over here.
Sam, babies need food
every two hours.
Sorry.
I'm sorry, Lucy in the sky.
You know...
critics and fools said that
that song...
had some mysterious meaning,
but John always said...
it came from a picture
his son Julian drew...
of his friend Lucy O'Connell.
So I made a good choice?
You made
an excellent choice, Sam.
Now, what time does
this little diamond wake up?
What time does
this little diamond wake up?
She wakes up all the time.
Let's just assume
she wakes up at 6:00.
Keep your TV on Nickelodeon.
I want you to feed her first...
when "Hogan's Heroes"
comes on.
And then again.
Wait until "I Dream of Jeannie."
And then, feed her
when "I Love Lucy" comes on.
We have to be quiet.
I've seen nothing.
I know nothing!
Such a nice man for an officer.
What are you doing?
I'm just getting Lucy asleep...
and you're making noise
and everything.
-Oh, sorry.
-We're here for video night.
Eight years every Thursday
video night, and you forgot?
I'm sorry.
It's always every first Thursday
of every month...
video night at Sam's house.
And I forgot.
Yeah, and I forgot.
Becca's gone.
"Gone with the Wind."
1939,
directed by Victor Fleming.
That was a very sad movie.
Here we go.
Everything changes now.
Soon you'll forget about
Wednesday night at IHOP...
and then Friday night
at karaoke...
and I got hit by a car today.
You did?
It was probably that guy
from the V.A.
Did you bring
"Kramer vs. Kramer"?
I see what's happening here.
I see.
So this is all my fault now.
Don't tell me you forgot again.
I broke a date with
a daydream to come here.
It's your mother.
Hi, Robert. Hello, boys.
It's me, Estelle.
Ma, I told you.
Video night's over at 9:00.
It's only 6:30.
Well, I guess
I'll just wait downstairs.
Sure there isn't anything
I can get you?
No, Ma. You can wait downstairs.
That's fine.
OK. See you later, Rob.
Bye, Estelle.
What a pretty baby.
Hi, little baby.
-Doesn't she look smart?
-She does.
She looks smart.
That baby looks so darn smart.
It's amazing how smart she is.
She's very smart.
She really does.
I think she's really beautiful.
Of course she looks smart.
She's already reading the paper.
Double Macchiato,
low fat, low foam.
That's a wonderful choice.
Oh, my God!
An ice cube went down--
Thank you. Oh, my God.
Can I get another drink, please?
Iced cappuccino.
That's a wonderful choice.
-Thank you.
-Yeah.
Annie, I can't take her
to work anymore...
because she's too big now.
-Annie.
-That was her first word.
-Annie.
-See?
People worry you're not smart.
Papa.
Yes. Oh, you smell so good.
You can tell a lot about people
by the way they smell.
Daddy, why does the snow flake?
Because snow--
because snow flakes.
Daddy, what is mustard made of?
Because it's yellow ketchup.
Daddy, why are men bald?
Sometimes they're bald
because their head is shiny...
and they don't have hair on it.
So their head
is just more of their face.
Daddy,
are ladybugs only girls...
or are there boys, too?
And if there are,
what are they called?
Yeah, the Beatles.
Daddy, where does the sky end?
Why does the moon
follow me home?
Why is the sun orange?
Where does the hour go
in Daylight Savings?
Daddy, do I look more
like you or Mommy?
Daddy...
Do you think
she'll ever come back?
Paul McCartney lost
his mother when he was little.
And John Lennon lost his mother
when he was little.
Annie says that sometimes
God picks the special people.
That's what Annie says.
Daddy, did God mean for you
to be like this...
or was it an accident?
What do you mean?
I mean you're different.
But what do you mean?
You're not like other daddies.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
It's OK, Daddy.
Don't be sorry. I'm lucky.
Nobody else's daddy
ever comes to the park.
Yeah, we are lucky.
Aren't we lucky?
Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity.
Sunnyside up, not too runny.
two sausage links.
French pancakes
instead of buttermilk.
Fruit topping on the side.
The Funny Face special.
I think it's funny when
you say "Funny Face special."
French, not buttermilk.
Fruit topping on the side.
Not on top.
You're getting a funny face.
That's a wonderful choice.
Thank you, Grace.
Thank you
very, very, very, very much.
You got it, Sam.
Is that too big?
I think that's a little too big.
You need a pair of
good, sturdy school shoes.
These are sturdy.
The arches
are very important.
No. Sturdy is boring, Sam.
These shoes light up, OK?
These are really good shoes
for school.
I know. I love them.
I found the most perfect shoes.
They look like the shoes
that Dorothy wore...
played by Judy Garland
in "The Wizard of Oz"...
1939,
directed by Victor Fleming.
These are pink.
These are also Velcro.
They might have
a little arch in there, too.
Sam, these are
probably too big...
but I thought maybe
Lucy would like those.
When we were at the zoo,
she liked the animal prints.
But these are for adults.
But when we went--
I don't know you.
I don't know who you are.
I like these, Daddy.
She knows what she likes.
That's why she likes these.
-Black goes with everything.
-How much are these?
$16.19 with tax.
Because I have $6.25.
That's all you have?
I didn't get my whole check
because I had to go...
to the parent and teacher
meeting this week.
I'm sorry. It's $16.19.
I couldn't go to work
all day that day.
It's OK, Sam, because
I have $3:00 to contribute.
Sam, I've only got
two plus two...
but I need one for stamps,
so 1...2...3.
Joe's got $1.50.
Yeah. So, is that enough?
If there's a God.
I'll count it.
Do we get a balloon with these?
All of us, or just her?
"And I will eat them
here and there.
"I will eat them anywhere."
"I do so like
green eggs and ham.
"Thank you, thank you,
Sam I am."
One more time?
-Yeah.
-OK.
"Green Eggs and Ham"
by Dr. Seuss.
"I will eat them with a mouse.
"And I will eat them
here and there.
"Say, I will
eat them anywhere.
"I do so like
green eggs and ham.
"Thank you, thank you,
Sam I am."
One more time?
Daddy, it's my first day
of school tomorrow.
I don't want to be too sleepy.
Everybody says Bob's Big Boy
has the best hamburgers.
Can we go there Wednesday
instead of IHOP?
But Wednesday is IHOP.
Just one time?
Yeah, but Wednesday is IHOP.
Can I read just the beginning?
Just the beginning.
"Green Eggs and Ham"
by Dr. Seuss.
There are four stages
of a butterfly's life.
The first three stages are
from egg to larva to cocoon.
Last...
They're hard to remember
because there's so many stages.
It's hard to remember.
33 days. It lasts 33 days.
Spiders and insects
are members of the ants--
ants--anthro--
Conner. Anthropod class.
Anthropod class.
However, spiders and insects
are very different.
-Spiders have six legs--
-Eight legs.
Eight legs and two body parts,
and they're called...
Conner. What are you doing?
You know this stuff.
-No, I don't.
-You do know it.
You wrote that part,
remember?
I wanted to do potato bugs
anyway. Oh, forget it.
I think he can make
that boy feel better.
Sorry, Mr. Egg.
What's wrong with your father?
Why's he acts like a retard?
He is.
-Are you?
-No.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
How do you know?
He told me.
He's a retard.
Well, it takes one to know one.
It's wonderful to have you
for company tonight.
Isn't it wonderful to have
Conner for company, Lucy?
Yeah. "Sorry, Mr. Egg."
"They per..."
"They perched in...
"Si--
silen--"
Silence.
Yeah. Silence.
"They perched in silence
for a long time."
Your teacher gave you
a really hard book this time.
That's really
a hard book to read.
"How can we be so..."
Differ--
Different.
Oh, yeah. OK.
"How can we be so different
and feel so much alike?"
I don't like that book.
Let's read
"Green Eggs and Ham."
Yeah! OK.
"Green Eggs and Ham"
by Dr. Seuss.
"Green Eggs and Ham"
by Dr. Seuss.
"I am Sam."
Hey, you.
Hey, handsome.
"Premature baby
claims he's Cupid.
"Has arrow to prove it."
You believe that?
But if he has the arrow,
that's the only thing.
You got a good point.
This is the International
House of Pancakes quiz.
And Lucy found the word "beet."
I want to surprise her
and find the word "carrot"...
but it's hiding.
Carrot!
-Where?
-C-a-r-r--carrot.
Carrot. It's right there.
And you're smart.
You would be a good mother.
Do you tell good stories?
-I got stories up the wazoo.
-Really?
You come with me and relax...
and I'll tell you
some nice stories.
Lily, what did I tell you
about selling on my beat?
Put it down on the table.
It's the International
House of Pancakes quiz.
Put your hands behind your head.
What did I--
Do you have any weapons on you?
He touched me
on my private place.
At such a time as this,
Annie's the boss.
First time in 19 years
I actually believe a guy...
when he says he didn't know
she was a hooker.
You say that like
it's a good thing.
Did you brush your teeth?
They don't sound
like they were brushed.
She forgot to brush her teeth.
Let him go.
Says he never spent
the night away from his kid.
Trouble. Oh, boy,
I'm really in trouble.
Are you in trouble, too?
Are you in trouble, too?
Yeah, I'm in trouble, too.
It gives us great insight
into what she must be feeling.
Mr. Dawson,
it's becoming clear...
that she's holding herself
back in the classroom.
It's as if she's literally
afraid to learn.
No one doubts
that you love your daughter.
But the Department
of Child and Family Services...
contacted us.
They shared with us
that your records show...
that your
intellectual capacity...
is around that of a 7-year-old.
Our concern is what happens
when Lucy turns 8.
Mr. Dawson,
do you understand...
what Ms. Wright is trying
to tell you about Lucy?
John wanted to try new things.
And it wasn't Yoko's fault.
No, it wasn't Yoko's fault.
Annie says you can hear it
on The White Album.
Because John wanted
to try new things.
"They perched in silence.
How can we be so diff--"
Diff...diff--
I don't know that word.
Yes, you do. That's the word
that starts with a "D."
I'm tired.
I don't believe you.
Are you calling me a liar?
Yes. I think
you have to read the word.
No.
Yeah, you have to read
that word.
No.
Yeah. Here it is.
There's the picture
where they're all perched.
-Now read the word.
-No!
I won't read the word!
I'm your father...
and I'm telling you
to read the word.
I can tell you to
because I'm your father.
I'm stupid.
-You are not stupid.
-Yes, I am.
You are not stupid,
because you can read that word.
I don't want to read it
if you can't.
No, because it makes me happy.
It makes me happy
hearing you read.
Yeah. It makes me happy
when you're reading.
"They perched in silence
for a long time.
'How can we be so different...
and feel so much alike?'
mused Flitter.
'How can we feel
so different...
and be so much alike?'
wondered Pip.
'I think
this is quite a mystery."'
Keep going.
They have Oreo
ice cream mud pie.
This is so great.
Yeah, this is so great.
And the menu says...
you can have your
favorite breakfast all day.
That's so great, too, you know.
Because you wanted
to come to a new place...
so we came
to a different place.
Hey, guys.
Can I get you coffee?
No, I don't drink coffee.
OK. What can I get you guys?
I'd like the Super Big Boy
with a root beer float, please.
OK. What about you?
I would like to have
two eggs, sunnyside up.
But not runny, OK?
Not runny.
And then I would like
to have French pancakes...
with the fruit topping
on the side.
We don't have French pancakes.
We have French toast.
No, I don't want French toast.
I want French pancakes,
like at IHOP.
Just the same kind
like they have at IHOP.
That's what my favorite
breakfast is, OK?
They're those thin pancakes.
The crepe pancakes?
I don't even want crepes.
I want to have
French pancakes...
with the fruit topping
on the side.
That's what
I want to have, please.
Thank you.
We don't have that, though, sir.
Do you want
regular pancakes and jam--
I don't want something else!
Why did you ask me that?
I'll see.
Maybe they have something--
-Yeah, ask Bob!
-OK.
Ask Bob's Big Boy.
Because the customer's
always right.
I understand that--
The customer's always right.
Because when Lucy comes
through the door...
everybody says, "surprise!"
You gotta stop bouncing
for a second.
You'll say, "surprise!"
Can we keep bouncing?
You'll have to come down.
After Lucy gets here
and we say, "surprise."
So you have to assume
surprise position.
Should we rehearse it
one more time?
Assume the surprise position.
Annie was supposed to warn us.
Brad, hit the light.
Surprise!
It's not her.
Hi. I don't know
if you remember me.
I'm Margaret Calgrove...
Department of
Child and Family Services.
We met at the police station.
Put the present there.
You have to hurry,
because Lucy's coming.
Come on, hide with us.
Come on, over here.
Annie said Lucy's coming up
the stairs right now.
So you have to assume
the surprise position.
I bet she already knows.
Why are you being
a party pooper?
She's coming now.
You have to assume
the surprise position.
Don't touch me.
I've got cooties!
It's contagious!
Hey, what are you doing?
Get your hands off him.
What are you doing
touching my kid?
-Surprise!
-Leave him alone!
Happy birthday.
Daddy?
You don't
have to call him Daddy.
She said you're not
her real father anyway.
She said she was adopted.
Lucy!
Given the fact
that the father...
was arrested
for solicitation...
couldn't control
his emotions...
endangering other children.
No, you can't!
It's her birthday!
Ms. Calgrove also cites...
Mr. Dawson's mental delays
which raise serious questions...
about his ability
to properly parent.
Run!
I find at this time...
it's not in the best interest of
the child to remain in the home.
And I order her detained...
until a formal
jurisdictional hearing.
Mr. Dawson.
Is there anything
you'd like to add?
I wanted to make it
a really special surprise party.
So I went, and I got plates
at the Pic 'n' Save...
in yellow and in pink--
like a princess.
And then I went
to the toy store...
and I got balloons
with the helium in them.
-Mr. Dawson?
-Yeah.
It sounds like you gave her
such a lovely party.
Yes, I'm sure it was.
Right now, I want to talk to you
about your legal rights.
OK. There's room
at this table...
if anybody wants
to sit next to me.
I just want to talk to you
about your legal rights...
so if you have not already
retained legal counsel...
the court will appoint
someone for you...
to present your case
on January 5. OK?
That's a month from now...
so I come back here
in one month with Lucy.
No, Mr. Dawson. You will have
monitored visits...
