1:24:01
If I understand it correctly...
1:24:04
...what means the most here is
what's best for our son.

1:24:08
What's best for Billy.
1:24:11
My wife used to say to me:
1:24:13
"Why can't a woman have
the same ambitions as a man?"

1:24:17
I think you're right.
1:24:19
And maybe I've learned that much.
1:24:21
By the same token, I'd like to know...
1:24:24
...what law says a woman is a better
parent simply by virtue of her sex?

1:24:29
I've had time to think about
what makes a good parent.

1:24:32
It has to do with constancy.
It has to do with patience...

1:24:35
...listening to him...
1:24:37
...or pretending to listen
when you can't anymore.

1:24:40
It has to do with love,
like she was saying.

1:24:43
I don't know where it says a woman
has a corner on that market...

1:24:47
...that a man has any less
of those emotions than a woman.

1:24:51
Billy has a home with me.
I've made it the best I could.

1:24:54
It's not perfect.
I'm not a perfect parent.

1:24:57
Sometimes I don't have enough patience
and I forget that he's a little kid.

1:25:02
But I'm there.
1:25:05
We eat breakfast and he talks to me,
and then we go to school.

1:25:09
At night we have dinner together and
we talk and I read to him and....

1:25:15
And we built a life together
and we love each other.

1:25:25
If you destroy that...
1:25:28
...it may be irreparable.
1:25:38
Joanna, don't do that, please.
1:25:43
-Don't do it twice to him.
-Thank you, Mr. Kramer.

1:25:46
No further questions.
1:25:49
How long have you
worked in advertising?

1:25:52
Ever since I graduated high school.
1:25:55
College, I mean.
I've been there about 1 5 years.

1:25:59
Would you say you've achieved a
certain status in your profession?
