1:28:00
He was gone when I was born.
1:28:04
He went away when I was born.
1:28:08
So the people at the institution
were your parents.

1:28:11
Were they nice to you?
1:28:13
Some, yes. Some, no.
1:28:16
Did they hit you?
1:28:18
Sometimes they did hit me.
Yeah.

1:28:21
Like you hit Lucy's friend
at her birthday party?

1:28:23
Objection. Mistakes
the facts and evidence.

1:28:25
Nobody hit anybody.
1:28:26
I'll rephrase that.
Strong-armed.

1:28:30
So, who do you look up to?
1:28:33
Who do you want to be like...
1:28:35
as a father
when parenting Lucy?

1:28:38
The head of the institution?
The principal? The warden?

1:28:41
Not Mr.Whitehead. Not him.
1:28:45
Then who?
1:28:50
Who?
1:28:54
Myself.
1:28:57
I look up to myself as a father.
1:29:02
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?
