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?

:23:02
Your background, your IQ...
:23:04
your friends
who can't even testify--

:23:05
Objection.
Compound questions.

:23:08
-Objection!
-Sustained.

:23:10
They love Lucy, see.
:23:12
Even if Rita didn't think
they were smart enough...

:23:15
to testify, they love Lucy.
:23:18
Yeah. I love Lucy.
:23:21
Even if Rita thought
you'd wipe the floor with them.

:23:23
Mr. Dawson,
your lawyer just objected.

:23:26
You didn't have to answer
that question.

:23:29
You can't even follow
simple rules...

:23:30
you've been observing
day after day.

:23:32
-Objection. Your Honor--
-Overruled.

:23:34
What makes you think
you can raise a 7-year-old?

:23:37
A 10-year-old? A 13-year-old?
:23:39
You know what that means?
:23:41
She'll be six years
more advanced than you.

:23:46
What makes you think
you can do that?

:23:48
What makes you think
you can do that?

:23:52
What makes you think
you can do that?

:23:57
I...
