Mr.Dawson, you have
the capacity of a 7-year-old.

1:29:07
What makes you think you have
the ability to be a father?

1:29:10
Your background, your IQ...
1:29:11
your friends
who can't even testify--

1:29:13
Objection.
Compound questions.

1:29:16
- Objection!
- Sustained.

1:29:17
They love Lucy, see.
1:29:20
Even if Rita didn't think
they were smart enough...

1:29:23
to testify, they love Lucy.
1:29:26
Yeah. I love Lucy.
1:29:28
Even if Rita thought
you'd wipe the floor with them.

1:29:31
Mr.Dawson,
your lawyer just objected.

1:29:34
You didn't have to answer
that question.

1:29:36
You can't even follow
simple rules...

1:29:38
you've been observing
day after day.

1:29:39
- Objection. Your Honor--
- Overruled.

1:29:42
What makes you think
you can raise a 7-year-old?

1:29:45
A 10-year-old? A 13-year-old?
1:29:47
You know what that means?
1:29:49
She'll be six years
more advanced than you.

1:29:54
What makes you think
you can do that?

1:29:55
What makes you think
you can do that?

1:30:00
What makes you think
you can do that?

1:30:04
I...
1:30:08
have had a lot
of time, see, to...

1:30:12
think about what it is...
1:30:14
that makes somebody
a good parent...

1:30:18
and it's about constancy...
1:30:23
and it's about...
1:30:29
patience,
and it's about listening...

1:30:34
and it's about
pretending to listen...

1:30:38
even when
you can't listen anymore.

1:30:42
And it's about love,
like she said.

1:30:45
See, Billy has a home with me...
1:30:48
and I made it the best I could.
1:30:52
And it's not perfect...
1:30:53
and I'm not a perfect parent...
1:30:57
and sometimes I don't have
enough patience...
