:53:01
I never stopped wanting him.
:53:03
What makes you sure he wants you?
:53:05
What makes you sure he doesn't?
:53:08
We're gonna sit here and
bat this back and forth.
:53:11
-It's like old times.
-You can't deny me--
:53:13
Don't tell me what I can or cannot do.
:53:17
-Don't talk to me that way.
-I anticipated this.
:53:20
Do what you have to.
I'll do what I have to.
:53:22
I'm sorry about this.
:53:24
Do what you have to do.
:53:33
I don't know the legal jargon for it,
but I think it's "desertion."
:53:37
I don't mean to tell you your job,
but I have an open-and-shut case.
:53:42
There's no such thing as an open-and-
shut case where custody is involved.
:53:47
I'll bet your ex-wife
has already found a lawyer...
:53:50
...who's advised her to move back
to establish residency.
:53:53
The burden is on us to prove
that your ex-wife is an unfit mother.
:53:57
That means I'll have to play rough.
If I play rough...
:54:01
...you can bet they will too.
Can you take that?
:54:04
Yes.
:54:06
And it's going to cost you $1 5,000.
:54:10
That's if we win.
:54:11
If we go to appeal,
it'll cost you more.
:54:15
I understand.
:54:18
Now, how old is the child again?
:54:20
My son is 7.
:54:22
-That's tough.
-Why?
:54:23
In cases involving a child that young,
the court tends to side with her.
:54:28
She signed over custody.
:54:29
I'm not saying we don't have a shot,
but it won't be easy.
:54:33
Do me a favour, will you?
:54:35
There's something I find useful
in matters like this.
:54:38
I sit down and I write out all
the pros and cons on an issue.
:54:42
Write them and look at them.
:54:45
-I want you to do that, okay?
-Okay.
:54:47
And after that...
:54:49
... if you're really certain
you want to retain custody...
:54:53
... then we'll go in there
and beat the pants off them. Okay?
