Remember when Paul McCartney
wrote the song "Michelle"...

:21:05
and then he only wrote
the first part, Annie said.

:21:09
And then he gave
that part to John Lennon...

:21:11
and he wrote the part
that said...

:21:13
"I love you,
I love you, I love you."

:21:16
Annie said
that it wouldn't have been...

:21:19
the same song without that...
:21:21
and that's why
the whole world cried...

:21:23
when the Beatles broke up
on April 10, 1970.

:21:34
No further questions.
:21:38
So, your parents put you
in an institution.

:21:42
My mother got sick, see...
:21:46
so I had to go in
an institution...

:21:48
when my mother got sick.
:21:50
What about your father?
Where was he?

:21:53
He was gone when I was born.
:21:56
He went away when I was born.
:22:00
So the people at the institution
were your parents.

:22:04
Were they nice to you?
:22:05
Some, yes. Some, no.
:22:08
Did they hit you?
:22:10
Sometimes they did hit me.
Yeah.

:22:13
Like you hit Lucy's friend
at her birthday party?

:22:16
Objection. Mistakes
the facts and evidence.

:22:17
Nobody hit anybody.
:22:19
I'll rephrase that.
Strong-armed.

:22:22
So, who do you look up to?
:22:26
Who do you want to be like...
:22:27
as a father
when parenting Lucy?

:22:30
The head of the institution?
The principal? The warden?

:22:33
Not Mr. Whitehead. Not him.
:22:37
Then who?
:22:42
Who?
:22:46
Myself.
:22:49
I look up to myself as a father.
:22:54
Mr. Dawson, you have
the capacity of a 7-year-old.

:22:59
What makes you think you have
the ability to be a father?
