1:22:00
Well, you know lawyers.
Always out to save you a buck.

1:22:03
- Can't say that
any ofthis surprises me.
- Oh, don't start on me now, Dad.

1:22:06
I know I should never have stuck my toes
in the gene pool in the fiirst place...

1:22:08
but ifyou've come here to tell me
"I told you so," say it and let's
get on to something else, okay?

1:22:12
You're going to need a little help if
you're going to get my grandson back.

1:22:15
- He's not your grandson.
- Well, he's the closest I'll ever see.

1:22:24
Now, that's not a gift.
1:22:27
Perhaps you can come and fiix up
our garden sometime.

1:22:37
Thanks, Dad.
1:22:41
Get your boy back.
You need to.

1:23:00
Robert.
They're ready for us.

1:23:12
Don't look over there.
You'll just get upset.

1:23:15
I've gone over
your preliminary statements.

1:23:18
Ms Reynolds,
you and Mr Cooper...

1:23:20
are presently not married,
is that right?

1:23:23
Yes, Your Honour,
but we're engaged.

1:23:25
It's a very short engagement.
Later this summer we--

1:23:28
The child's natural father--
he has no interest here?

1:23:32
No.
1:23:34
Mr Whittaker,
you're requestingjoint custody.

1:23:37
Yes, Your Honour.
1:23:39
What makes you think
you're entitled to that?

1:23:42
- Well, I've been Sam's father since--
- Objection. Your Honour...

1:23:47
since Mr Whittaker has neither legal
nor biological paternity here...

1:23:50
it is completely inappropriate
for him to refer to himself...

1:23:53
as "the father."
1:23:55
Perhaps he could use the term...
1:23:57
"caregiver"?
1:23:58
"Caregiver"?
