Is that all of it? Yeah.
I never saw this picture of dad.
I can't believe it's been six years.
Mom had it stored away.
She gave it to me before I moved to Boston.
Well, now we can share it.
I could really use one of his pep talks right now.
You knew you were getting a life lesson when he called you "Kiddo."
For me, it was always, "Rachel."
He was good at that. Wasn't he?
He was.
Alright, honey, we should get going. We have a long trip.
Don't forget, I want to stop and see Mitch before we go.
Of course, honey.
Are you alright?
This was the most depressing day of my life.
Wagons west, sister.
Never look back.
I got the perfect song queued up.

Are you sure mom is okay with this?
You're already living with her, now
I'm going to live with her...
I told you, I talked to her.
She doesn't know when she's coming back from Africa,
but she's ecstatic you're here
and you can stay as long as you want.
You didn't talk to mom, did you?
Of course I didn't, she's in Africa.
She didn't even take her phone.
Yeah. Apple doesn't really fall too far from the tree, does it?
Are you serious?
If you think after 13 hours in the car,
we're gonna get into this, you are mistaken, girl.
I'm starving.
You keep telling me that Fort Wayne
has the best sushi ever.
You want to show me what I'm missing?
Oh, yeah. You want to go now?
Yeah, we can unpack later.
Okay. Sushi... I got to pee like a mother.
- Yeah. Me too. - Okay. Let's go.
Thank you.
Damn, girl. That's like your third California roll.
Don't forget, I'm eating for two.
Oh, please, your baby is the size of a thimble at best.
What? I'm hungry.
Jeez.
So, have you thought about what you're gonna do?
What do you mean?
Oh, God, no, I meant about getting a job.
Oh, yes, I've thought about finding a job.
Do you think I'm gonna sit around all day
and eat and get all depressed and gain 40 lbs?
No, I'm gonna take a couple of days,
get settled, and then I'll go start looking.
Look, honey, I know it's gonna take some time
to get back where you need to be.
But I just,
- I want you to know... - You're here for me?
Thank you.
Well then, can I have your soy sauce?
You are so much stronger than you think you are.
I know.
And I-- I owe it to Mitch.
You know, we made a pact.
I'm going to stick with it.
Oh, God, sis. The way that he died.
I mean talk about bad luck.
I mean did he really not know how--?
Please. I don't want to talk about it.
But it's just it's so--
What did I say?
I don't want to talk about it.
What?
Oh, God.
Oh, calm down, you big baby. It's not that bad.
Look.
See?
Oh.
This is it, the last box.
Aw, that's Buddy.
I remember him. He was such a good boy.
Aw, honey, you had 13, 13 good years with him, right?
Yeah.
I bet he looks down on you every day
and thanks you for the wonderful life you gave him.
Yeah. He was the best.
He hated Jake.
Really?
Yeah. But he loved Mitch.
Well, you know what they say... Dogs know best.
Is that really a saying?
Yes. I just said it.
Alright, well I'm gonna go to bed.
You know one of us has to work in the morning, so...
I'm gonna put this somewhere special.
See you tomorrow.
Hi.
Good morning. Can I help you?
My sister asked me to bring this to Joe.
Can you make sure he gets it?
Well, you don't have to worry. I'm Joe Senior, Joe's father.
Nice to meet you. I'm Elizabeth.
You know...
I noticed a glow about you.
Something I noticed
about my wife when she was having a baby.
Is it possible that you are also a mother to be?
Wow, you're good.
I'm ten weeks.
- Mazal Tov. - Thank you.
Hey, Dad, have you--?
Oh, my God, Elizabeth?
- Hi. - Wow. Hi!
How are you? I can't believe you're a florist now.
Yeah.
- It's so good to see you. - You too.
So, you two guys know each other?
- Yeah. Dad, Elizabeth and I went to high school together. - Yeah.
I mean, I haven't seen you in like 15 years?
Yeah, probably.
You look amazing.
- Thank you. - I read somewhere
that you were married and living in Boston.
Yeah, yeah, I was.
And then two weeks after I got pregnant, he passed away.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Umm... Hey, Dad, can you head to the back?
Sam will be here any minute.
Of course.
It was so nice to meet you, Elizabeth.
And I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much.
Thanks.
Such a sweet man.
Yeah.
So, how are you doing?
Uh, you know,
as good as I can be, I guess.
I moved in with my sister and my mom,
but ready for a fresh start, you know?
I promised Mitch I wouldn't do it by myself. So
here I am.
Anything I can do to help?
Uh, yeah, I need a job.
Are you hiring?
Funny you should ask.
I was just about to hang this guy up.
It looks like I won't be needing anymore because you're hired.
I'm just gonna tuck that away. You didn't see anything.
Rachel. Can you do me a favor?
Someone left this in my section and it's not mine.
Who ordered the cabo?
That would be me.
Girl. Alright.
Well, I'm off.
- See you tomorrow? Alright. - See you tomorrow.
Nice try, Carl.
- Well... - Hi.
Guess what.
You forgot to drop off the check.
No,
I got a job.
- No way! Congratulations, honey. - Thank you.
That's amazing. What you drinking?
- Vodka tonic. - Club soda and lime it is.
Boring.
So, it turns out that Cottage Flowers
is owned by Joe Morris and his dad.
You see? Things are turning around. I told you.
Yeah, it feels like they really are.
Yeah.
I'll have another. Sure. Sure. Same?
Yes.
How are you doing, gorgeous?
Well,
I'm hungry all the time and I'm tired
and stressed out and moody.
Oh, and I'm pregnant with my dead husband's baby.
How you doing?
Okay.
You have yourself a nice night.
You too.
You still got it.
Morning.
Hey, good morning.
Got you a coffee.
You're the best. Thank you.
I got you an apron
or whatever you call those things.
Wait, can you drink coffee?
Yes.
My sister said a cup a day is a-OK.
- Cool. - Where's your dad?
Oh, he was only helping out until I hired someone.
Well, speaking of that...
What am I doing?
Well, for the most part you'll just be working here
in the front of the house until you learn how to do what I do.
Customer service. Perfect.
I'll be in the back working on orders and deliveries and stuff.
All you really need to know is that
almost everyone who walks through
wants to buy something.
It's gonna be your job to help them figure out
what that something is.
Unless of course it's roses.
I think I can handle that.
And there's no harm in up selling
or...
teddy bear add-on.
Perfect.
I'm excited.
Great.
Because you're on.
I'll be in the back if you need me.
Okay. Hi!

I don't know. It just feels like I'm turning a corner.
Hold that thought.
The delivery van is here. I will be back.
Okay, good.
Hello, Elizabeth.
Miss Becker.
Hi.
This is a surprise.
What are you doing in Fort Wayne?
I thought after the funeral you were moving to France?
Yes. Well, that's going to have to be put on hold for a while.
Well, after how you and I sort of left things...
I got to be honest with you.
I'm a little confused about why you're here.
I'll get right to the point.
What is this?
You're filing for full custody?
Yes.
You are crazy.
No one is going to give you full custody.
Tell that to your lawyer,
if you can afford one.
Is everything okay here?
Yeah, sure.
Everything's fine.
You know, I am going to need to rethink that gift.
I don't think flowers are enough.
Thank you for your time.
What was that all about?
I got to call my sister.
Yeah, whatever you need.
What a bitch, right?
I mean, how could she even think a judge
would grant her full custody and let her leave the country?
It's ridiculous.
I mean, I agree with you, obviously,
but she's going through with it. So...
I mean, do you think this is what Mitch wanted?
No, of course not.
I just I don't understand, Jennifer is family. What?
Being a grandmother is not enough for her?
No.
You know that.
And they were super close before we got married.
I...
You remember? She didn't say two words
to me at the funeral.
What am I gonna do?
No.
It's not what you're gonna do. It's what we're gonna do.
Okay?
Now give me the name of that bitch attorney she hired.
What makes you think it's a she?
If Jennifer's as ruthless as we think she is,
she would never hire a man.
Well, you win.
Robin Pyle.
Alright.
I'm gonna make phone calls, find out what we're dealing with.
Also, one of my regulars as an attorney and he likes
to flirt with me, so...
Honey, I'm sorry I have to go back to work, okay?
Okay.
But don't worry, okay? We are gonna fix this.
Okay.
I love you. I love you.
Excuse me, I don't mean to bother you.
I couldn't help but overhear your conversation.
I'm sorry, that was my sister. She's not quiet.
Did you say you're being taken to court?
Yeah. My...
mother-in-law is suing for full custody
of my unborn baby and trying to move to France.
That's ridiculous.
I'm sorry, Robin Pyle is representing your mother-in-law?
Yeah. You know her?
She's my sister.
I know how she works.
I'd like to offer you my services.
I know how to win and I'll do a great job.
Mr. Pyle.
Kevin, please.
Kevin.
I... I just don't have the money to hire someone like you.
Well,
lucky for you, I'm running a special,
today only,
any case I take against my sister,
I'm charging 1% of my hourly fee.
And what exactly is your hourly fee?
$200 an hour.
So, you're gonna charge me $2 an hour to represent me.
That's right.
I guess it's better than $200.
Is this some kind of Trading Places bet
or like a vendetta against her?
No, not at all.
I'm furious. My sister took this case.
I want to help.
Okay.
Great.
Now, when is the first day of the hearing?
According to this paper,
a week from today.
A week?
That doesn't give us much time.
Can you be at my office tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.?
I work until four.
Alright. Well, I'm gonna do the best that I can,
but I'm gonna need you to be available.
- Okay. - Okay.
10:00 a.m., tomorrow, my office?
10:00 a.m.
Excellent.
Mr. Jeffries, after looking over this police report.
I can pretty much guarantee no jail time.
But I hope you like community service
because you are going to get a lot of it.
Well, can you do something about that?
Mr. Jeffries, your blood alcohol level
was three times the legal limit,
not to mention
you destroyed four mailboxes and an RV before you were arrested.
So, if I were you right about now,
I'd be thanking my lucky stars.
Just when I thought you couldn't go any lower.
Can't you see I am with a client?
I mean is there any case that you won't take for money.
I am so sorry.
We're going to have to cut our meeting short.
Um, I need to give my brother the verbal enema
he so richly deserves.
I just want you to remember
to be at the courthouse Friday, 9:00 a.m. Okay?
Friday morning, 9:00 a.m. Okay.
Do you validate?
No. Snakes don't validate.
No, we don't.
I'll see you Friday.
I could smell the tequila on him as he walked by.
- So... - Stop.
You're not kidding around.
Okay.
What did I do now?
I am here to inform you
that I'm Elizabeth Becker's lawyer.
Wow. Slow down.
Say that again.
I am representing Elizabeth Becker.
That's funny. Um...
The, um, custody case?
Isn't that a bit out of your wheelhouse?
I mean how did you even find out about this?
We go to the same coffee shop and I overheard her.
That is serendipity.
I know we all need to make a living, sis, but come on.
Going after custody of a child that hasn't even been born.
My client actually believes in her case.
She says that this is specifically
what her son wanted.
Tell your client to drop the suit.
She'll have full visitation anytime she wants.
In fact, my client would welcome it.
Rejected.
You have been out of the game for so long.
Are you sure you want to go up against me, the first time out?
I can't think of a better time or case to do it.
In fact, it's an outrage that you'd even take it.
Well, I don't get paid to be outraged.
I get paid to represent my clients.
She's got to know there's not a chance in hell
that any court will grant her full custody.
Times have changed, brother.
Courts will listen to just about anything now.
How's mom?
Good, good.
You should call her.
No, I will.
I'll see you in court.
- Hi. Welcome. - Good morning.
Elizabeth Becker, I'm here to see Kevin Pyle.
Elizabeth.
- Hi. - Hi.
Thanks for coming down.
This is my sister Rachel.
Hi, nice to meet you. Thanks for doing this.
My pleasure.
Please, let's talk in my suite.
Thank you.
So, I read the suit and their main focus
will be that Elizabeth has a history
of being irresponsible and that she doesn't possess
the means to properly support and raise a child.
Oh, come on. That is such a crock.
My sister is literally the kindest,
sweetest, most generous person I know.
This baby is blessed to have her as a mother.
And you as an aunt.
...word in an A-U-N-T. You know it.
Can she really do this?
To be honest, I'm shocked the judge
will even hear arguments.
I'm gonna go for an immediate dismissal.
But I mean, seriously,
what possible argument could she have?
I'm not even a mother yet.
Exactly. They can't.
You and Mitch were happy?
Yes, very.
No history of fighting, nothing maybe he told his mother
that she could use against you?
Nothing that I can think of.
Mitch loved my sister.
He waited ten years to marry her.
Then why would he write this letter?
Let me see that.
What took you so long to say yes?
Umm...
We were just friends in college
and then the day before our graduation
we made a pact that
if we didn't marry somebody else in ten years,
we'd marry each other.
Ten years later he travelled across the country to find me.
Oh, this letter is BS.
Let me see it.
It's ridiculous.
I have absolutely no idea why he would write that.
Don't worry.
That's what I'm here for.
So, are we done?
Actually, there's one last thing I need to mention.
Where's your restroom?
Oh, past the elevator on your left.
I'll be right back.
So, I called the courthouse this morning
and the judge hearing our case is Judge Anthony Steel.
Is that bad?
No, no,
not bad.
Then what would you say?
Well...
Go ahead and just put your John or Jane Hancock right there.
There you go. Now you have a wonderful day.
- You too. - Okay.
Dave.
Whoa, Elizabeth.
- Good to see you. - You too.
I mean look at you.
I know, look at me.
Hey, you know what, I'm sorry that I missed Mitch's funeral.
If I knew what had happened, I would have been there.
I know. I know how much you loved Mitch. You were there.
I promise.
Still.
I know.
So, what brings you to Fort Wayne?
Well, I was gonna ask you the same thing.
I moved in with my sister who's been amazing helping me
just getting ready for being a mom, you know.
But what about you?
Long Island is not your thing?
Well, you know, the company I work for expanded,
they gave me an offer to move here that I could not refuse.
Then, a year later, they dissolved my position.
But I love it here. I love it. I love it.
I love the work that I do working for the Van X team.
So, I'm here.
I'm so happy to hear that.
Did Laura come with you?
No.
No, that pretty redhead boat sailed long ago.
She was allergic to canned whipped cream.
Sorry, I lost touch with her too.
I always liked her, though.
Anyway, I should probably get back.
You're not in any legal trouble, are you?
I hope this isn't a Jake Jones thing.
God no, I haven't even seen him since the whole, you know.
Anyway, so good to see you. Can we keep in touch?
Of course. Let's get together.
We can party like we did back in college.
Yeah.
Here is my card if you need anything.
You go ahead and, actually, take two, anything you need.
- It's great to see you. - You too.
Hey, um... is your sister single?
- No, don't even think about it. - It's a small town, just asking.
Okay, perfect.
Yeah, thanks for doing that for me.
Yep, I'll see you Thursday. Thank you.
Brian Connor is here and would like to see you.
He's an hour late.
I could tell him you're not available.
No, no. Send him in to the conference room, please.
Yes, sir.
Jake Jones. How the hell are you?
Brian.
Have a seat.
Oh...
Word on the street is that you're not
selling your building?
Really? Where did you hear that?
People talk.
Look, Jake,
you've been telling us for the last four months
that everything's gonna be alright,
that the deal is going through.
Yeah, it's still the case.
You know, maybe I should be talking to your dad.
No, you can talk to me, Brian.
We had an agreement.
Now you're the only ones holding the deal up.
You do realize we're offering you 70%
over market value, right?
Yeah. Yeah, I do realize that.
So, then what's the hold up?
Brian, our building is the only property
that still has tenants in it.
We're not gonna blindly kick these people out on the street.
They need time to relocate.
You do realize how much we have riding on this, right?
I mean the Morgani Group is building a distribution center.
We'll all be set for life.
I'm doing just fine. Thanks.
You have to be patient. These things take time.
Time waits for no man, Jake. That includes you and your dad.
If we don't get a deal finalized in the next 14 days,
then the buyers are walking.
I'm not gonna let you blow this for everyone, Jake.
Maybe you enjoy being stood up at the altar,
but you're not gonna do that to me.
You really going to go there?
Ready for lunch?
Oh. Hello, Brian.
Everything okay?
Yeah, everything's fine, Dad. Brian was just leaving.
Look, Jake.
You have 14 days to clear this mess up and close.
You know, Brian, we've been friends a long time.
I can't really believe that you had the balls
to bring up Elizabeth, but let's not make this personal.
We close when we close.
That's not good enough for you, then tough shit.
Two weeks.
You're good?
Yeah, I'm fine, Dad.
Brian's always been a little impatient, but
everything'll work out in the end.
It usually does.
I'm so proud of you, Son.
I've never seen you more focused.
Happy 14 months.
You know, we usually only do cakes
on our birthdays, but thanks, dad.
Well, a year from now, this will all be yours.
And I got to say, there was a time
I wasn't really sure...
Yeah, it was a little rough going there for a while, but,
you know, we all have to find our own bottom, right?
You're telling me, I married your mother.
Just kidding, okay.
Lunch? Wanna grab some lunch?
Yeah, there's a Mexican place around the corner.
You're buying.
Hi, Mr. Morris.
Thank you so much for watching the shop for me.
I hope it was okay.
Oh, my Lord, look at you, Elizabeth.
Last time I saw it was just a baby bump.
Now, look at you, glowing like a soon to be mother.
It's just a light layer of sweat, but it's sweet that you say that.
- May I? - Yeah, of course,
Wow.
I can feel him kick.
Or her.
Trust me, I did the same thing with Joe Jr.
when he was in my wife's belly.
Can you believe he was born 5 pounds 6 ounces?
Well, look how he turned out.
I hear you take him to Lamaze.
She's actually gonna come here after work on Friday.
I think it's nice.
I keep telling him he needs to find somebody to settle down
and start a family, but he gets so involved
in the business, you know, and just
feels obligated since his mother died to keep me busy.
When did that happen?
11 years ago.
Cancer.
Seems like yesterday.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, I keep telling him I'm gonna be okay.
He needs to live his life.
Find him a girl, get married, start a family.
You know, but he's my son and
the selfish part of me
wouldn't have it any other way.
You're not selfish at all.
I only hope that I get to have the same kind
of relationship you guys have.
I'd be as blessed as you are.
Well, thank you.
Oh, hey, you're still here.
- Yeah. - Thank you so much.
Can I please get you to do a favor for me
and make this delivery?
Yeah.
Jesse called in sick and they need it
by the end of the day today.
I would do it myself, but I still have
a lot of work to do here before we close.
Don't worry. I'll do it.
- Awesome. Here's the keys. - Thank you.
The name and address are on the seat.
And uh...
last name is Becker.
Becker?
Yeah.
I'll be happy to.
Awesome. Awesome. I'm just gonna close up here.
- Okay. - Let me get this for you.
- Bye, Mr. Morris. - Alright.
I'll help you out.
And I know you were talking about me.
That boy.
Yes. Again, let him know that getting
a continuance is in his best legal interest.
Okay,
call me back. Thanks.
- Hey. - Sorry to interrupt.
Not at all. What's up?
Earlier today, when you were talking to Miss Becker,
did she happen to mention the name Jake Jones?
She did not.
Well, it might be something you want to look into.
Jake Jones.
What are you doing here?
I was just asked to make a delivery.
It's a nice arrangement.
You do realize I'm never gonna let you get custody, right?
That's for the judge to decide.
Now, you've made your delivery, so if you'll excuse me...
Why are you doing this?
You wanted nothing to do with us, and now this?
I deserve to know why.
It's what my son wanted.
Please...
A week after Mitch died, I received a letter he wrote
pleading with me to fight for custody.
He would never write a letter like that.
Are you sure you want to go down that road?
I strongly suggest you leave before I call the police.
You know, Jennifer,
you can believe whatever you want
and you may be Mitch's mother,
but I knew him better than you ever did.
Do you really think that a man that waited ten years
to marry the woman he loves is going to write that letter?
So, if that's all you got, you got nothing.
For all I know, you wrote that letter.
Siri, call 911.
Don't bother.
I'm gonna see you in court.
Wow. Most people order that for a family of four.
Well, I mean technically I'm two, so I'm fine with that.
How'd you find me here?
You know, I actually understood that.
Opposing counsel called and informed me
of your little visit to Jennifer Becker.
I went to your work and nice older gentleman said
your van was there, but you weren't.
So, I called Rachel, she said you weren't there either.
But she said, when you get upset,
you comfort-eat ice cream, so...
I had a pretty good idea after that.
Well, maybe you should have been a detective.
Elizabeth if you want to win, you can't do that again.
I know.
I screwed up. I'm sorry.
Okay.
Do you wanna try it? It's good.
What are you going to use?
Well, if that doesn't scream pregnant, nothing will.
Thanks for driving me home.
The hearing starts in three days.
So, from this point forward, no more mistakes. Okay?
Aye, aye, Captain.
Can I ask you a question?
Of course.
Why are you helping me?
I already told you.
No. Come on.
I know you're not telling me something.
You never told me how your husband died.
I didn't know I was supposed to.
Well, I love being a lawyer.
That's all I ever wanted to do.
The rush of fighting for the underdog
is kind of like a drug.
And I must have gotten addicted to it
because it ruined my marriage.
- Sorry. - Oh, don't be.
She's a...
Anyway,
it was awful.
A little over a year ago, I came home to an empty house
with a note that read:
"I'm glad you found what makes you happy.
Time for me to do the same. Take care, Kim."
And I haven't seen or heard from her since.
That's terrible.
Are you alright?
It took a while, but
I bear her no ill will and hope only the best.
And I couldn't take on clients for a long time.
I just felt like I wouldn't be good enough.
But when I overheard you at the cafe,
I knew that this was the case to bring me back.
Not to mention I'm going up against my sister.
Just a tiny bit competitive, are we?
Oh, beyond.
So, really, you and I are...
We're helping each other.
Well, that makes me feel better.
Because, you know, I don't want to be anyone's charity case.
The last thing you need is charity.
What you need is a lawyer.
That I can't disagree with you on.
Goodnight.
Oh, I see a bathroom. I'm gonna go pee.
Alright.
That's not what she said.
She gave testimony on a completely different thing
that you're talking about.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't want to hear it.
Hello, Elizabeth.
Hi.
You came to see me, so I figured it's okay to come see you.
Yeah. You were ready to call the cops on me.
You frightened me,
insulted me.
What do you want, Jennifer?
After you left, I started thinking it'd
be so much better if we could just work this out.
I don't want to do all this if we don't have to.
You can drop the lawsuit and then we can talk about it.
I don't think so, Elizabeth.
- I'm doing this for my son. - Oh, please.
Don't use Mitch as your excuse.
You've never liked me.
You always hated how in love with me he was.
And now you're trying to get back at me by taking
the only thing that is important to me.
Trust me when I tell you, it's never gonna happen.
If you think
the letter was the only part of my case,
you're sadly mistaken.
Excuse me! Why are you speaking to my client?
Saying hello.
It is inappropriate you talking
to my client ten minutes before the hearing.
Please leave.
There you are.
Counsel, please instruct your client
not to talk directly to my client.
Oh, well, since court hasn't even started yet,
I will inform her later.
Come on, Jennifer. We don't wanna be late for court.
Thank you.
Okay. That was totally out of line.
If she does it again, let me know. I'll take it to the judge.
Oh, speaking of the judge,
am I crazy or did I see the judge
with a dog puppet on his hand?
You're not crazy. That's... that's Judge Steel.
And he's a real judge?
He's a great judge.
As for Murphy, the puppet.
He's...
one of the wonders that boggle the mind.
If I didn't tell you earlier, I like your tie.
I defended my first client in this tie.
Did you win?
All rise for the honorable judge, Anthony Steel.
Last chance. Drop it now
and we'll be open to visitation anytime.
Oh, damn.
I was gonna say that to you.
Morning, everyone.
Murphy said good morning.
Good morning, Murphy.
You may all be seated.
Okay. I've read the complaint.
Umm...
Yeah. Before we get started,
I have to say, Miss Pyle,
I'm a little uncomfortable with this case.
You're fighting for the custody of a child
that hasn't even been born yet.
- Really? - Yeah.
Your honor.
We understand your discomfort.
However, once we present our evidence,
we are confident you will feel differently.
How?
- Alright. - Do you wish
to make an opening statement to the court?
Yes, Your honor. Just a brief one.
Very well, you may proceed.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Okay, I'm ready.
Thank you, Your honor.
Your honor.
Less than a year ago, my client, Jennifer Becker
tragically lost her only son of 37 years old.
Objection, Your honor.
The Plaintiff's lawyer is trying to pray on your sympathies.
That's not a real objection.
Objection overruled. Listen,
we're all aware that it's her husband and her son.
That's exactly why we're all here today.
Okay, so let's just proceed.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's with the attitude?
I'd like to apologize for my attitude.
Let's just please continue.
Thank you, Your honor.
When it came to Elizabeth, Mitch put up a facade.
He played the happy, excited, confident father to be,
but in reality, he was anything but.
He was really scared and nervous
about how he and Elizabeth would do raising a child.
So much so,
Mitch wrote a letter to an attorney
with explicit instructions not to mail the letter to my client
unless something tragic happened to him.
Unfortunately, it did.
Your Honor, is there a point going
to be made here except for exposing what 99.9%
of expecting parents feel
when they're expecting their first child?
Well, if you would shut the hell up, I would get to the point.
Last time I shut the hell up,
you invested 20 grand of our parents' money in Enron.
Are you going there?
- Why not? You did. - Hey!
Both of you. Stop it.
You want to hold him in contempt?
No, we're fine for now.
Okay, continue.
Thank you, Your honor.
My client
is seeking full custody of her grandchild.
And we feel that it is in the best interest
of the court to grant it.
This is outrageous.
Your honor.
It very well might be,
but I don't think that it is too much to ask
for the court to just listen for a day.
I mean, you would be honoring the memory of a son,
of a husband to do that.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Your Honor, counsel just said "best interest of the child."
And my response is,
what child?
What are we even doing here?
That's the question I keep asking myself.
I mean, seriously, what are we even doing here?
We have a woman who recently lost her husband
to a tragic accident and yet within that tragedy
has found the strength and not let it consume her
knowing that she will soon be a mother.
Elizabeth Becker is a woman who has crawled through
500 yards of shit smelling foulness
not to come out fresh and clean on the other side,
but to be served with papers
looking to strip her parental rights of a child
who has yet to take a single breath on this planet.
Your honor, I'm fully aware the court
takes children from unfit parents all the time.
But those are cases based on actions that have consequences.
This isn't Minority Report.
We don't have laws on pre crimes.
Objection, Your honor.
Two movie references in an opening statement.
Please advise counsel to stay in reality.
Sustained.
Please refrain from using movie references in your statement.
I love Shawshank.
Okay,
but everything that woman just said is bullshit.
- Thank you, Your honor. - Your honor!
What?
My Cousin Vinny.
That was from My Cousin Vinny?
Yes.
I never saw it.
- Yes, we did. - We did?
Yeah. Don't you remember Herman Munster was a judge?
Oh, yeah, we did see it.
The Buick Skylark.
Alright, sustained.
Okay, let's move on here.
We call Jennifer Becker.
Will you tell the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
I will.
Can I do it?
Yeah, go ahead.
You may be seated.
Miss Becker, what are you doing here today?
I'm here to honor my son's last wish.
And your son wanted you
to fight for custody of your grandchild?
He did.
You know that...
that's gonna be hard to get anyone to believe that.
I'm aware.
So why don't you explain to us why that is.
Soon after my son died,
I received a letter from an attorney's office.
Inside was a letter from the attorney explaining
what was happening
and a letter that Mitch wrote.
Did you know about this?
Nothing.
Would you please read the letter?
Your honor, do we have a date
on when the letter was written?
The letters dated April 18, 2015.
We weren't even married a year.
"Dear Mom,
I hope you're doing well.
First off, let me say how sorry I am you missed the wedding.
Elizabeth and I are doing great.
I just love her so much.
That being said, I need you to be aware
that my love will blind me
to certain things about Elizabeth.
That is why I'm writing you,
to warn you, to prepare you,
and for you to promise me
if we start a family and something happens to me,
I need you to make sure
you do everything in your power to protect our children.
Loving your children
and knowing how to raise them
are two completely different things.
And I have serious doubts about Elizabeth's ability
as a single parent,
especially when it comes to commitment.
I pray this letter never surfaces.
But I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing.
Call it an insurance policy for my soul.
I love you, Mom.
Mitch."
Now, you knew since Mitch's funeral
that Elizabeth was pregnant.
Why did you wait so long to file?
I lost my only son, I needed time.
Why do you think
he didn't send the letter when he wrote it?
Elizabeth and I
never had a great relationship.
I'm sure he thought that if he sent me the letter sooner,
nothing would ever change.
Is there anything else that you'd like to add?
Elizabeth, you will always be the child's mother.
Nothing will ever change that.
Based on the child's best interests,
and what Mitch explicitly said he wanted,
the right thing to do is to grant me full custody.
No further questions, Your honor.
Mr. Pyle, your witness.
Do you have any proof you would be better
at raising this child than my client?
What more do you need?
Have you witnessed my client in any way being a bad parent?
Abusing the child, neglecting the child?
Actually, let me start with this,
do you see a child
anywhere that serves as the basis
of the arguments that you pose?
Objection.
Counsel is badgering the witness.
Objection sustained.
I'll rephrase.
Why you think it's so important to go
for custody now,
before the child is born?
Did you ever get gout, council?
No, I haven't.
My father would get gout attacks so badly
that he could scarcely walk.
Drop a feather on his toe,
my dad would be screaming in pain.
Until one day, the doctor told him
that there was a little pill that he could take
to prevent future attacks.
My dad took that pill every day for 12 years
and he never had another attack.
Your honor.
We don't need to wait and see.
So... You're kind of like a preventative?
Something like that.
I have no further questions at this time, Your honor.
Okay.
This is going on a lot longer than I anticipated this morning.
I actually have a doctor's appointment
at 1:00 p.m., and I would like to ask
both counsels if we could reconvene this
at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
I'm okay with that.
That works.
We'll see you tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.
All rise.
At least we know that letter is the heart of their case.
Yeah.
- Are you okay? - Don't.
What's going on?
Give her some space.
We knew today was gonna suck.
Come on.
I'll buy you a hot dog. Good, I'm hungry.
Hey, Kiddo.
Dad?
You look like you could use a hug?
Please tell me I'm not dreaming and that you're really here.
What do you think?
To be honest, I don't care.
Whatever this is, I'll take it.
So, you seem to be in a bit of a pickle, young lady.
I'm just, I'm so tired.
After the hearing today, I don't--
Maybe Jennifer's right.
Did I ever tell you that when I first started
dating your mother, her father hated me?
What?
Grumpy Joe?
You guys always got along so well.
Well, of course by the time you and your sister were born.
So, why did he hate you?
Because he didn't know me, he didn't respect me.
He thought he knew what kind of person I was
just by looking at me.
Back then, wearing a leather jacket
and riding a motorcycle made you pretty popular with the girls.
- I bet. - But not with their parents.
So, what changed?
Well,
one day Grumpy Joe's car broke down
about 30 miles outside of town.
He had to walk three miles to the nearest gas station,
luckily, they had a tow truck,
so we called Grammy letting her know that the car
had overheated, he'd be home late, but he was okay.
And when the truck finally took him back to his car,
he saw me waiting.
Well, I handed the truck driver $5
and sent him on his way, popped open the hood
and 30 minutes later
closed it with a perfectly fixed radiator hose.
I've never heard that before.
Sort of wondering what this has to do with me.
Grumpy asked me why I had gone out of my way to help him.
He had done nothing but cause me grief since the day he met me.
So, what did you tell him?
Well, I looked him straight in the eyes and I said,
"Joe,
I'm gonna marry your daughter,
and we're going to start a family.
And a few times a month, you and Shirley will come over
for dinner because that's what families do.
And knowing that, I figured, why wait? We're family now.
We need to be there for each other no matter what.
Because if you can't count on family, what's the point?"
There was a long pause.
And then he said,
"You like brisket?"
And from that point on, it was a love fest between us.
That's a great story.
I'm not really sure what it has--
Jennifer is family, Elizabeth.
She may not like you, she may not respect you,
but she's family.
So, you need to keep trying to find a way in.
Because when it comes to family,
the door never completely closes.
That's not gonna be easy.
Nobody said life was easy.
Heck I'm dead and it's still not easy.
Can I ask you something?
You can ask me anything.
How's Mitch doing?
I mean like,
can you see him?
Maybe you could ask him why he wrote that letter.
I wish I could help you, Elizabeth. I really do.
But it doesn't work that way.
I can tell you this,
people like Mitch who died before their time
are picked for a specific reason.
And his legacy will live on in you and your baby,
and their babies,
and their babies babies, for generations.
I'm sorry I don't know any more than that.
But I hope in some way that it brings you some comfort.
Well, I need to go now.
Do we a favor?
Of course.
Next time you see your mother,
tell her I said, "It's okay."
I will.
I love you, Dad.
I love you too, Kiddo.
Tell Rachel to ease up on the cigarettes.
Wait...
Rachel smokes?
It's on your desk. Okay.
Angela, you're the best. Call my sister's office.
Tell her not to leave. I'm coming over.
I'm calling her now. Thank you.
Wow, that was fast.
Did you know that between the hours of three and five p.m.
if you time it right, you can hit all five lights
on Main Street and just sail right on through?
I was told that was a myth.
And here I am.
Here. You still like those, right?
Vanilla hazelnut.
You haven't brought me one of these since Sammy
was kicked out of the band.
Has it been that long?
And, actually, he quit.
Why are you here?
Wait, don't tell me. Um...
Let me guess.
You're gonna ask me
if the deal is still on the table
and I'm gonna say yes.
But now,
for the next five years,
in the event that my client is unable to attend visitation,
there's going to be a court appointed monitor.
You can't be serious. Oh, brother.
You saw how today went.
I mean, and it was only the first day.
Now, you're cross was just okay.
But that letter...
That letter was devastating,
and you know it.
I mean, what are you going to do tomorrow?
Let her testify?
I'd consider that malpractice.
Yeah. Why?
Because when I'm done cross-examining her,
she's gonna wish you never let her.
I mean, heck, I might even start with
Elizabeth in the first grade,
when she Crazy Glued another student's hair to her desk.
What?
How would you even know that?
Oh, it's called doing your homework,
but unfortunately, I'm not gonna get the chance
because you're smarter than that,
but your body language
tells me something different, so...
What's up?
You know what? Actually,
you're right. You got me.
I guess we're just gonna play this out and hope for the best.
Did you really hit all those lights?
What does my body language tell you?
Good morning, everybody.
Morning.
Mallory, Murphy said good morning,
Good morning, Murphy.
Okay. Miss Pyle, you can call your first witness.
Your honor, we rest.
Wow. You sure you want to do that?
We feel confident, but we reserve the right
to call any rebuttal witnesses if necessary.
Alright, in that case, Mr. Pyle, you may call your first witness.
Your honor, we would like to call
Dave Breem as a character witness.
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
I do.
You may be seated.
So, in your opinion, Mr. Breem,
you believe Mitch could have written this letter?
Oh, never.
From the day he met Elizabeth, he fell in love with her.
And how do you know this?
He told me.
We became roommates in freshman year,
we stayed roommates all through college.
Mitch writing that about Elizabeth...
it's not in his DNA.
And why do you think that?
Objection.
Witness's opinion is not relevant to the case.
Overruled.
Please answer the question.
I grew up in Baltimore housing.
It was it was rough, but I mean I kept my head down.
I studied hard and became the first person
from my family to go to a university.
So, when I found out that Mitch was gonna be my roommate, I was
a little nervous,
but within five minutes I knew we were gonna be
friends for life.
There was one Thanksgiving where he came with me
back to Baltimore
and he was a popular guy,
so he had all sorts of invitations to go to
fancy dinners, but no, he came with me.
And when we got back to campus, I think people wanted him
to tell stories of, you know, gun violence and gangs and,
you know, police and EMTs, but no, he just said
it was one of the best Thanksgivings of his life.
And it was.
Mitch made me a better person.
And I will always love him for that.
I have nothing further.
You seem to really love Mitch.
I do.
And yet
you didn't go to his funeral.
Umm...
Who is...
Mr. High Quad?
Huh?
- What do you mean? - Well,
wasn't that the name they gave you freshman year
because you spent every day in the quad getting high.
Well, not every day, you know.
I mean, you got so high,
how would you even know who Mitch was?
Objection.
Withdrawn,
nothing further.
Your honor, before we get to Miss Becker's,
I would like to submit these two letters
from her employer vouching for her character.
Thank you.
Now,
Miss Becker, as my client, we've had many discussions about
why you believe this custody battle has been
brought on by lies and manipulations.
Can you please tell the court why you think that?
Because I know in my heart that Mitch
did not write this letter.
- How did the two of you meet? - Objection.
Relevance?
Your honor, the relationship between Mitch
and Elizabeth Becker is at the core of this case.
- Objection overruled. - Hey!
What?
Do you mind?
Objection overruled.
Please continue.
On the first day of college,
my door was stuck
and Mitch lived on my floor.
I asked him for help and
we were best friends for four years after that.
You were best friends.
But didn't Mitch confess to you years later that he
fell in love with you on the day he met you?
He did, yeah.
The dreaded friend-zone.
Friend-zone, I've been there many times.
- I've been there many times. - He has. He really has.
Tell me about the pact.
The day before graduation,
we made a pact that if neither of us had married anyone
in ten years, we would marry each other.
And whose idea was that?
It was mine.
Then you both graduate, move home and think nothing of it.
If you're talking about me, yes.
But not Mitch.
Ten years later, he came to find me to fulfill the pact.
So, let me get this straight.
Mitch, who fell in love with you on the day he met you,
gets locked into the friend zone throughout college.
Then the day before you graduate,
you make a pact that
if neither one of you is married in ten years,
you'll marry each other.
Mitch then waits ten years,
discovers that you're not married,
drives 3000 miles to find you,
court you, and marry you.
Is that about it, in a nutshell?
I'd say so. Yes.
Mitch said that the day we made the pact,
he felt like we got engaged.
Aw... that's nice.
Your honor. Sounds like someone who'd write a warning letter
that Elizabeth would be an unfit mother?
It doesn't sound like that to me.
I just have one more question.
During the time that you and Mitch were married,
were there any pressing issues between the two of you?
No, none.
We were the happiest couple.
When I got pregnant, he was so excited to become a father.
Never expressed concern?
No,
never.
I don't know who wrote this letter,
but it wasn't Mitch.
A letter that if he didn't write
means we wouldn't be here.
I have nothing further.
Miss Pyle.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah.
You say it was your idea to have a pact?
Yes.
So, when
Mitch came out to visit you after ten years,
did you discuss it?
No. No?
Why not?
He didn't bring it up.
Did you?
No.
Why not?
It had been ten years,
I didn't really remember making it.
Understandable,
but I'm wondering
why he didn't bring it up
as soon as you two saw each other. I mean,
he drove across the country to find you.
Probably because he didn't know I was engaged to someone else.
Oh.
Jake Jones was his name?
Yes.
And did you marry him?
No.
Was it because of Mitch?
Yes.
Wow.
How did that go over, the breakup?
Well, breakups never really go well.
No, especially on the wedding day.
I mean, didn't you leave him standing at an altar?
Yes. But
- it was complicated. - Complicated.
According to a conversation that I had with Jake's father,
Stan Jones.
Were you and your mother both
living rent free in a house
that they had paid for?
Shortly after my dad died,
my mom and I were going to have to sell the house.
Jake bought it so we could continue
to live in our own home.
Wow.
I mean, that was really nice.
And this is before the two of you had started dating?
- Yes. - But then,
shortly thereafter,
you were...?
Yes.
Was this the first time you were getting married?
No.
And what happened to that one?
Three weeks before our wedding, I found out my fiancé slept
with one of my bridesmaids.
Objection, Your honor.
Is there any relevance whatsoever
to this line of questioning?
I'm establishing character.
Now, let's say that I have a puppy.
Now, my client has a stable loving environment.
Or should I give the puppy to a woman
who has called off two weddings, one of them during the ceremony.
And let me remind you, she has never held down
a financially stable job in her life.
Oh, and yet,
in fear of the rent-free gravy train ending,
she falls in love
with the guy and then sticks him at the altar
when something better comes along.
That is a lie.
A lie?
The true lie here
is you telling all of us
that you and Mitch had a fairy tale life.
That is not a lie.
What about his gambling debts?
What about them?
It was just last year that you became aware
that Mitch maxed out all of your credit cards
and the three business trips that he was supposed to take
weren't business trips at all, but jaunts to Indian casinos.
I think we could both agree that
marriages aren't all perfect.
Just yours.
Right, Elizabeth?
I mean, you just told this court,
under oath,
that until the day he died,
you and Mitch had the perfect life?
Yet
he was keeping secrets from you and I'm just wondering,
what secrets were you keeping from him?
- None. - Your honor.
You know, contrary to what you think,
Mitch did not have a gambling problem.
He complained to me all the time that he couldn't
provide for me in the way that he wanted to.
We argued about it a lot.
No matter how crazy I told him I thought that he was,
he didn't care.
When he came to me and told me what he'd been doing,
we talked about it.
We worked it out,
because that's what people do when they love each other.
Your honor, you can clearly see that my sister
is badgering the witness. This is ridiculous.
Oh, no, my brother, what is ridiculous
is that you know I'm right and you keep fighting.
No further questions, Your honor.
Miss Becker, you're excused.
I must say, counselor, I'm a bit hesitant to dismiss
this case based on the testimony I just heard.
I'm inclined not to go to summary judgment on this.
I know. Yeah. Well, okay.
Alright. Okay. Alright.
I just had a little conference here with Murphy and I decided
to gather thoughts, read through everything
that has been presented and I'll make my decision
tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

Well, I noticed on the back
there was a small little stamp that said
Pierce Franklin and Associates.
I remember that because I went to Franklin Pierce college.
It's probably just the law firm that delivered the letter.
It's not a big deal.
Well, I called to confirm that the letter was delivered
to a Jennifer Becker, which it was.
Okay...
Guess who's had them on retainer

Good morning, everyone.

Murphy said good morning.
Good morning, Murphy.
Your honor, I would like to call one last witness to testify.
Jake Jones.
- What is he doing here? - It's okay.
- How does he know about this? - It's alright.
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
I do.
Your witness.
Can you state your name for the record, please?
Jacob Jones.
And can you tell the court how you know the defendant?
Elizabeth was my fiancé.
Would you care to elaborate on that?
We were engaged to be married,
but on the day of our wedding she...
left me standing at the altar.
We haven't spoken since.
So, would it be fair to say that you being here today
is not a result of a close personal friendship
you have at the moment?
Yeah, I think that would be fair to say.
So then, why are you here?
Because regardless of the history
that Elizabeth and I share with one another,
I can't let her life be destroyed based on a lie.
What do you mean?
That letter that Mitch supposedly
sent to his mother,
he didn't write it, I did.
Objection.
- For what? - I was just about
to ask the same thing. For what?
Can you please say that again?
Mitch didn't write that letter, I did.
Your honor, I was about to get married
to the woman that I loved.
And on the day of our wedding, she ran away from me
to be with the man that she truly loved.
I was humiliated.
I was embarrassed in front of my family,
my friends, everyone close to me in my life.
I was angry.
I was angry for a long time.
When I wrote that letter, I was lashing out.
I wanted to hurt Elizabeth as much as she'd hurt me.
Maybe I was looking for some semblance of closure
with everything that happened.
I never imagined in 50 years that anyone
would actually ever see it.
The truth is up until yesterday,
I had completely forgotten that I had written the letter.
When I got a call from Mr. Pyle telling me everything
that was happening,
well, I jumped on a plane
and rushed here as fast as I could.
I'm so sorry, Elizabeth.
Your honor, the reason we're here is because of me.
Elizabeth is an amazing woman.
She's kind, she's compassionate.
She's one of the most caring people I've ever known.
She lost her husband in a horrible accident,
yet she still had the courage to pick herself up
and start a whole new life.
I have no doubt in my mind that if Mitch were alive today,
he'd want nothing more
than for Elizabeth to raise their child surrounded
by a loving family and friends.
I can't think of anyone else who would be a better mother.
- I'm not asking that. - Ask him.
- Elizabeth. - Ask him.
I just have one last question.
Can you forgive Elizabeth for what happened
on your wedding day?
Forgive Elizabeth.
I forgave her a long time ago.
I can only hope,
even though I might not deserve it, that
she can find a way to forgive me.
I have nothing further.
Miss Pyle, cross?
One minute with my client, please.
One minute.
Your honor, if it pleases the court,
we'd like to withdraw our petition for full custody.
Alright, granted.
Case dismissed.
You did it.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
May I have a word?
Of course.
I am so sorry, Elizabeth.
I had every reason to believe that Mitch wrote that letter.
I don't hate you. I mean, I...
would love to be in your life if you'd let me.
But I understand if you never want to see me again.
I put you through enough.
Jennifer.
I haven't picked out a crib yet.
Not yet?
I've been a little distracted.
I thought maybe we could do that together.
You would be okay with that?
Yeah,
we're family.
I would like that very much.
Don't you just love our justice system at work?
Well, yes, Your honor. That is why I work here.
I mean, look at them.
When they walked in here, they were arguing with each other,
now they're hugging. I think that's beautiful.
About the Doherty case, would you like to reschedule for noon?
Yeah, that's fine.
Great. I will let the attorneys know.
Oh, Annie,
could you take Murphy for a walk.
It looks like he's got to go.
Thank you.
- Oh. Oh. - What?
Uh.
Hey, truce. I'm buying.
Of course.
Family. Move it.
Move aside. Lady having a baby.
Dad says you've got to quit smoking.
Now is not the time.
Well, tell Brian we're not selling then.
He'll live, Dad.
Alright, I'll see you soon. Love you.
- Hey, Jake. - Jake.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Any news? Oh, honey, nothing yet.
Oh, Jake. This is Joe, Elizabeth's boss and friend.
Yeah. And this is Kevin, my sister's lawyer.
- Joe, how are you? - How did we do?
Oh, we won.
Wait a minute. You own the plant store.
I do, but it's a flower shop.
Wait, so you rushed over here, Elizabeth's having a baby
and you didn't bring any flowers?
Jake...
I'm just kidding. It's good to meet you, Joe.
Ignore him. Rachel Carter?
Oh, yeah, that's me.
You can all relax. Elizabeth did great.
And the baby?
She had a beautiful baby girl.
Congratulations, Aunt Rachel.
Thanks, douchebag.
When can we see her?
Elizabeth is resting.
She's pretty tired right now. Give her a few hours.
In the meantime, grab something to eat or drink, make the calls
you need to make, and I'll text you when you can see the baby.
Thank you, doctor.
- She's a hugger. - Sorry. I am.
You didn't think we were gonna miss this now, did you?
Mom, I'm really glad you're here.
What about you?
Donna called me up. So, I picked her up at the airport.
Oh, and Laura gives her best
and she's so sorry that she can't be here.
But she's actually doing great.
She married a man who runs the hardware store
in Rugby, North Dakota.
Please give her my best.
You know I will.
Honey, we're dying to know.
Did you name her yet?
Yes.
I did.
Her name is Michelle.
Michelle Becker.
Aw...
Hi, Dr. Hudson.
Jake Jones is still here.
I told him visiting hours were over.
But as soon as I left the room,
he started passing out $100 bills to the nurses
like bubblegum trying to bribe his way up here.
That is so Jake.
You can, you can let him in. That's okay.
Thank you.
Hi.
How is she doing?
She's finally asleep.
She's beautiful.
I ran into Rudy and your mom earlier outside.
How'd that go?
Well, I think Rudy pretty much still hates me.
Probably.
It was great seeing your mom, though,
catching up,
remembering good times.
Listen,
I'm really grateful for what you did for me.
But I also feel like I need to
just clarify that you and I are--
What are you talking about?
Well, you rode in here like Robin Hood,
like you're just gonna save the day.
Remember, I know you.
If it's some kind of maneuver to get me back.
I'm not trying to win you back.
Look, I came here
to make everything right.
I'm actually engaged to be married.
Her name is Sarah.
She's umm...
She's a really, really special woman.
I think you'd really like her.
That's great.
I'm sorry I jumped on you like that.
Elizabeth, please.
You have nothing to be sorry about.
Look, I'm the one who messed up.
I can't believe you had to go through all of this
because of...
because of something stupid that I did.
When I wrote you that letter...
I was really hurt when you left me.
I mean, I know that's no excuse, but...
The truth is I didn't deserve you
and I definitely wasn't ready for you.
Mitch loved you so much.
I'm so sorry you lost him.
But now you have this,
this beautiful life ahead of you.
I sure do.
And in time,
the right person is going to come into your life,
when it's right.
I mean, that's the way it usually works. Right?
Yeah.
Look, I should probably get going.
It was really great seeing you again, Elizabeth.
I'm really happy for you.
Take care of yourself.
Yeah. You too.
And you, little one.
She has your eyes.
Hi.
I'm not bothering you?
No, come in.
I'm sorry I had to skip out yesterday.
One of my old clients got his fourth DUI,
I had to go to court.
I hope not Judge Steel.
No, no. Judge Valerie Born. Just Judge Valerie Born.
That's good.
May I?
Yeah, of course,
Wow.
Oh, she is beautiful.
Listen,
I hope I'm not overstepping here, but
maybe when you get home and settled, you...
would like to have coffee with me.
Yes.
Really?
Terrific.
I'm out Friday at noon.
Then I will be here to check you out.
That didn't come out right.
It came out perfect.
I'll see you tomorrow?
Yeah.
Bye.
The future looks bright, Michelle,
for both of us.
I can feel it.
Sorry, I'm late.
Hey, you.
I brought you a teddy bear
holding a flower
in a coffee mug.
