1:02:01
So your mother...
1:02:04
this woman who had
the mind of a 9-year-old...
1:02:07
had the wisdom to recognize
you would be a great doctor.
1:02:10
Yes. I can't say
it was always easy...
1:02:14
but she taught me the things
they can't teach.
1:02:18
Patience and compassion.
1:02:21
Traits most doctors
have in spades.
1:02:24
Mr.Dawson.
1:02:26
You've become
a wonderful girl...
1:02:29
and we're proud of you.
1:02:31
Lucy will be, too.
She'll be wonderful.
1:02:35
He's very enthusiastic.
Thank you, Doctor.
1:02:37
No further questions.
Come on, come on.
1:02:40
How'd you get through medical
school? Where'd you live?
1:02:42
We lived with
my mother's parents.
1:02:44
- Grandma and Grandpa.
- Yes.
1:02:48
Would it be fair to say
that Grandma and Grandpa...
1:02:50
were of normal intelligence?
1:02:53
And so,
would it be fair to say...
1:02:54
that Grandma and Grandpa
of normal intelligence...
1:02:56
had the real responsibilities?
1:02:57
Objection. Mr.Turner's
mother-in-law lives with him.
1:03:02
Motion to strike. Irrelevant,
immaterial, and immature.
1:03:05
I warn you, Ms.Harrison...
1:03:06
stick to the relevant
issues of the case.
1:03:09
Your Honor, the relevancy
is that every parent...
1:03:11
has a right
to a support system.
1:03:12
I'm not talking about
the rights of the parents.
1:03:14
I'm talking about
the rights of the child.
1:03:17
Please let the record show--
1:03:18
Excuse me. Your Honor...
1:03:19
I'm talking about entrusting
an 8-year-old's welfare...
1:03:21
in the hands of someone
whose record shows...
1:03:23
has been diagnosed
with autistic tendencies...
1:03:26
mental retardation--
1:03:27
Objection. Move to
strike that from the record.
1:03:29
It is clear that
one's intellectual capacity...
1:03:32
has no bearing
on their ability to love.
1:03:34
Your Honor, would you
please instruct counsel...
1:03:37
to proceed with
a modicum of sensitivity?
1:03:40
I'm very sensitive...
1:03:41
especially when
I see someone like you...
1:03:43
walk in here and try
to give meaning to your life...
1:03:45
by screwing up somebody else's.
1:03:46
That's enough. Ms.Harrison,
approach the bench.
1:03:48
My mother raised me--
1:03:50
Tearing apart a family
is truly noble work, Mr.Turner.
1:03:52
That's enough.
1:03:54
This is an award for you
at some luncheon...
1:03:55
but I'm here every day.
1:03:57
You win, you're out the door.
1:03:59
You know who I see come back?
The child.
