Kramer vs
|
00:01:58 |
I love you, Billy. |
00:02:03 |
I love you too, Mommy. |
00:02:12 |
Night-night. |
00:02:17 |
Sleep tight. |
00:02:21 |
Don't let the bedbugs bite. |
00:02:25 |
I'll see you in the morning light. |
00:02:40 |
I love you. |
00:03:03 |
They're going to make me an assistant |
00:03:07 |
"You get yourself a Burberry coat. |
00:03:10 |
If you're gonna be Madison Avenue, |
00:03:13 |
Saturday afternoon, I go out, |
00:03:16 |
I go to this place |
00:03:19 |
...and say, " I want a Burberry coat, |
00:03:22 |
They put it on, |
00:03:26 |
I say, " I'll buy it." |
00:03:27 |
And right then, I start to sweat. |
00:03:29 |
I take my checkbook out, start to |
00:03:34 |
...because I'm so scared. |
00:03:36 |
- Good night. |
00:03:37 |
- I gotta get home. |
00:03:42 |
Okay, so let me finish. |
00:03:43 |
So I sign it, |
00:03:47 |
Who is this? Danny, right? |
00:03:51 |
- Come on, I gotta tell you something. |
00:03:56 |
Gotta talk to you |
00:03:58 |
I'm putting you in charge |
00:04:24 |
By the end of the year, we'll |
00:04:27 |
If this campaign works out the way |
00:04:31 |
...they'll offer me a partnership. |
00:04:33 |
That's terrific! |
00:04:34 |
When that happens, I just want you |
00:04:40 |
Wow! Wow! That's terrific. |
00:05:01 |
Joanna. |
00:05:04 |
I'm home. |
00:05:09 |
I forgot my keys. I gotta call |
00:05:12 |
Jo, you're gonna be real proud |
00:05:18 |
- Ted. |
00:05:25 |
You know Jack Edwards in accounting? |
00:05:29 |
Yeah, hi. Ted Kramer. |
00:05:31 |
I gotta get those photos from |
00:05:35 |
- I'm leaving you. |
00:05:39 |
Okay, you too. Thanks a lot. |
00:05:43 |
Did you guys eat? |
00:05:45 |
I'm leaving you. |
00:05:49 |
Here are my keys. |
00:05:51 |
Here's my American Express, |
00:05:54 |
...my checkbook. I've taken |
00:05:58 |
That's what I had when we got married. |
00:06:00 |
- Is this a joke? |
00:06:03 |
You can pick them both up |
00:06:06 |
- You. You have to pick them up. |
00:06:09 |
I paid the rent, the Con Ed bill, |
00:06:13 |
You really pick your times to... |
00:06:19 |
I'm sorry I was late, but I was |
00:06:23 |
Come on, okay? Can we stop now? |
00:06:27 |
So that's everything. |
00:06:34 |
Enough, enough. All right? |
00:06:36 |
What are you doing? |
00:06:38 |
Where are you going? Just tell me |
00:06:42 |
- It's not you. |
00:06:44 |
It's me. It's my fault. |
00:06:46 |
You married the wrong person. |
00:06:48 |
- I can't hack it. |
00:06:51 |
I can't, I tried. |
00:06:53 |
Joanna, please, just... I'm sorry. |
00:06:56 |
- No, please don't make me go in there. |
00:07:02 |
If you do, I swear, one day... |
00:07:04 |
...l'll go right out the window. |
00:07:07 |
Come on, now. What about Billy? |
00:07:13 |
I'm not taking him with me. |
00:07:17 |
I'm terrible with him. |
00:07:19 |
I have no patience. |
00:07:22 |
He's better off without me. |
00:07:26 |
Joanna, please. |
00:07:33 |
And I don't love you anymore. |
00:07:37 |
- Where are you going? |
00:08:13 |
Hi, Margaret. This is Ted. |
00:08:17 |
Yeah. Joanna come in? |
00:08:20 |
We had a little fight. I thought |
00:08:25 |
If she comes in, tell her to come up |
00:08:30 |
Don't worry. She didn't take |
00:08:35 |
I got work to do. |
00:08:46 |
It's about time. |
00:08:50 |
Joanna, that's the most insensitive... |
00:08:53 |
- She packed a suitcase? |
00:08:57 |
She tell you where she was going? |
00:09:00 |
- You tell me. |
00:09:03 |
Clearly, you two had many |
00:09:06 |
...which I haven't been privy to. |
00:09:10 |
...but I have a major presentation |
00:09:13 |
...and I gotta get my work done. |
00:09:16 |
You don't realize |
00:09:19 |
Wrong. Me. I got the problem. |
00:09:22 |
...go out the door and go back to bed. |
00:09:25 |
- The fact is... |
00:09:28 |
...l've been spitting blood to get |
00:09:32 |
And at five, we got it. |
00:09:35 |
At eight, the vice president tells me |
00:09:39 |
I come through this door |
00:09:42 |
...one of the five best days |
00:09:46 |
...and tells me she doesn't want |
00:09:54 |
Can't you understand |
00:09:59 |
She loused up one of the five |
00:10:06 |
You're terrific. Boy, you're... |
00:10:09 |
Thanks very much, really. |
00:10:13 |
Sisterhood. |
00:10:14 |
Thank you for coming |
00:10:17 |
I didn't come to cheer you up. |
00:10:19 |
I'm concerned about Joanna. |
00:10:22 |
Maybe you can be concerned |
00:10:26 |
Joanna and I never had any problems |
00:10:31 |
Oh, I don't believe you. |
00:10:33 |
Just tell me the truth, okay? |
00:10:35 |
Did you set her up to this? |
00:10:37 |
No, I didn't put her up to this. |
00:10:39 |
- Give her a little pep talk? |
00:10:42 |
Joanna and I talk a great deal. |
00:10:44 |
And Joanna is a very unhappy woman. |
00:10:46 |
And it took a lot of courage for her |
00:10:51 |
How much courage does it take |
00:12:08 |
Where's Mommy? |
00:12:10 |
- What? |
00:12:12 |
What time is it? |
00:12:15 |
The little hand's on the 7, the big |
00:12:21 |
Oh, God. Okay, I'm gonna tell you. |
00:12:26 |
- She's supposed to take me to school. |
00:12:30 |
Okay, I'll tell you where she went. |
00:12:32 |
You know when you and your friends |
00:12:36 |
And you want to go and be alone |
00:12:39 |
Sometimes Mommy and Daddy |
00:12:42 |
...and one of them wants to go |
00:12:46 |
- When is Mommy coming back? |
00:12:48 |
Now we are gonna have breakfast! |
00:12:52 |
- What do you want? |
00:12:55 |
You want French toast, you got it. |
00:12:57 |
Put up a little water for Daddy |
00:13:00 |
We got how many eggs? |
00:13:04 |
We got milk. |
00:13:05 |
We got butter. |
00:13:07 |
We got $5. |
00:13:09 |
I got $5. |
00:13:12 |
Okay, can you be my number one helper? |
00:13:16 |
Watch this. One hand. |
00:13:18 |
Here we go. |
00:13:20 |
Did you know that all |
00:13:23 |
Isn't this terrific? |
00:13:26 |
- You dropped some shell in it. |
00:13:29 |
Makes it crunchier. |
00:13:33 |
Why don't you beat them, |
00:13:37 |
- What time is school? |
00:13:39 |
Gotta get the show on the road. |
00:13:44 |
I got people to see. |
00:13:45 |
And Daddy's gotta bring home |
00:13:48 |
...and he's gotta cook it. |
00:13:50 |
We're having a good time! |
00:13:53 |
- In the stove. |
00:13:58 |
First, we need a nice fire. |
00:14:00 |
No, you're not doing it right. |
00:14:02 |
Look, you gotta do it fast. See? |
00:14:06 |
So the gucky part dissolves. |
00:14:08 |
Then you take the bread, and we... |
00:14:12 |
We... |
00:14:15 |
We fold the French toast. |
00:14:18 |
- I think you forgot milk. |
00:14:23 |
When you're having a good time |
00:14:26 |
I just wanted to see |
00:14:30 |
Fun, isn't it? When's the last |
00:14:34 |
I don't like it in pieces. |
00:14:36 |
It tastes the same whether it's in |
00:14:40 |
Besides, French toast |
00:14:43 |
In the best restaurants, |
00:14:46 |
You get more bites that way. |
00:14:50 |
And while that's going, |
00:14:53 |
You having a good time? |
00:14:55 |
I don't remember the last |
00:15:00 |
Daddy's gonna make himself coffee. |
00:15:02 |
- That's too much! |
00:15:04 |
Mommy always makes it too weak. |
00:15:09 |
Can I have some orange juice? |
00:15:12 |
Right. One OJ coming up |
00:15:16 |
Daddy, it's burning! |
00:15:19 |
- What? |
00:15:22 |
Damn it! Goddamn her! |
00:15:28 |
Oh, shit. |
00:15:32 |
Just take it easy. |
00:15:36 |
Just... |
00:15:39 |
Just take it easy. |
00:15:46 |
- What? |
00:15:48 |
- When's Mommy coming back? |
00:15:51 |
- Is she gonna pick me up? |
00:15:54 |
- What if you forget? |
00:15:56 |
- What if you get run over? |
00:16:00 |
- Miss! What grade are you in? |
00:16:02 |
This is Billy Kramer. |
00:16:05 |
Take care of him. I gotta |
00:16:08 |
Taxi! |
00:16:12 |
- Congratulations about Mid-Atlantic. |
00:16:16 |
- Congratulations. |
00:16:19 |
- Great news, Ted. |
00:16:22 |
Morning. 11:00, meeting |
00:16:24 |
- Where's the stuff from the retoucher? |
00:16:28 |
- Did my wife call? |
00:16:30 |
You're gonna have to cancel |
00:17:05 |
She's never gone this far before, |
00:17:08 |
...l've known |
00:17:11 |
...she gets very quiet. |
00:17:13 |
Our pattern has been that I've said, |
00:17:17 |
...and she'll kind of sit on it. |
00:17:19 |
But in the last few weeks, |
00:17:22 |
...since we've been going crazy |
00:17:26 |
And I just didn't look at the writing |
00:17:32 |
I think this is a way |
00:17:36 |
" I'm as important as your work." |
00:17:41 |
Is there another guy? |
00:17:45 |
I don't think so. |
00:17:48 |
She's got this friend, Margaret, |
00:17:51 |
...you know, women's lib. |
00:17:57 |
It worked. |
00:17:59 |
I'm going crazy! |
00:18:01 |
Look, not to worry. |
00:18:03 |
She'll be back. |
00:18:05 |
I didn't know it would happen to me! |
00:18:08 |
Don't let it get you down. |
00:18:10 |
I know she'll be back. |
00:18:16 |
- You do have a problem, Ted. |
00:18:22 |
What are you gonna do about Billy? |
00:18:25 |
This just happened last night. |
00:18:30 |
It's none of my business. |
00:18:32 |
Listen, I want to hear your thoughts. |
00:18:35 |
I appreciate you |
00:18:39 |
May sound a little rough, but... |
00:18:43 |
...I think you ought to send Billy away |
00:18:48 |
You mean, until Joanna comes back? |
00:18:51 |
Suppose Joanna doesn't come back? |
00:18:57 |
Gee, I don't know... |
00:18:59 |
Ted, listen to me. |
00:19:01 |
I just told the boys upstairs you're |
00:19:06 |
You know? A gig like that comes |
00:19:11 |
There's guys here eating their hearts |
00:19:15 |
This is important. Don't blow this. |
00:19:19 |
I gotta depend on you. I gotta count |
00:19:23 |
...7 days a week, 24 hours a day. |
00:19:28 |
I can't be concerned about you |
00:19:32 |
First, you can count on me |
00:19:36 |
Because I'm not a loser, Jim. |
00:19:38 |
I never let anything at home |
00:19:41 |
You asked me to unload in this office. |
00:19:43 |
When I go outside, I'm on top of it. |
00:19:47 |
I'm a survivor. |
00:19:50 |
You've given me a shot here. |
00:19:55 |
Okay? |
00:19:59 |
Let's have a drink later. |
00:20:02 |
...blow smoke up Airwick's ass, 11:00. |
00:20:05 |
I'm all right! |
00:20:06 |
You don't worry. |
00:20:08 |
Thank you. |
00:20:11 |
I love you, you bastard. |
00:20:18 |
Daddy? |
00:20:21 |
Daddy? |
00:20:25 |
Yeah, honey, just wait a second. |
00:20:29 |
Let me get this copy done, |
00:20:32 |
What time is it when an elephant |
00:20:38 |
Time to get a new fence. |
00:20:44 |
Honey, please... |
00:20:47 |
Daddy! Daddy! |
00:20:49 |
Goddamn it! Goddamn it! |
00:20:50 |
Get over there and sit |
00:20:54 |
I knew this was gonna happen! |
00:20:57 |
Who told you not to drink |
00:21:01 |
- Sorry. |
00:21:03 |
Told you to keep that juice |
00:21:06 |
Sorry. |
00:21:08 |
Who took you to the park, gave you |
00:21:12 |
- Who bought you an ice cream? |
00:21:14 |
And who promised Daddy that when |
00:21:20 |
- That's ruined. I can't fix that. |
00:21:29 |
It's past your bedtime. |
00:21:37 |
And brush your teeth |
00:21:46 |
- Paper towels. What else? |
00:21:49 |
All right. |
00:21:50 |
No, Mommy buys the kind |
00:21:54 |
- There's no difference. |
00:22:01 |
- Let's go. |
00:22:05 |
All right, come on. |
00:22:07 |
Okay. That's it. |
00:22:11 |
We need some cereal. |
00:22:13 |
Okay, what colour? |
00:22:25 |
Hey, Billy! |
00:22:27 |
Billy! Told you Mommy would write |
00:22:31 |
- When is she coming back? |
00:22:36 |
Okay. Let's read it. |
00:22:45 |
" My dearest, sweet Billy." |
00:22:50 |
That's you. |
00:22:54 |
" Mommy has gone away. |
00:22:56 |
Sometimes in the world... |
00:22:59 |
...daddies go away... |
00:23:01 |
...and mommies bring up |
00:23:03 |
But sometimes, a mommy |
00:23:06 |
...and you have your daddy |
00:23:10 |
I have gone away |
00:23:12 |
...something interesting to do |
00:23:17 |
Everybody has to, and so do I. |
00:23:23 |
Being your mommy was one thing, |
00:23:28 |
...and this is what I have to do. |
00:23:31 |
I did not get a chance |
00:23:34 |
...and that is why |
00:23:37 |
I will always be your mommy... |
00:23:41 |
...and I will always love you. |
00:23:44 |
I just won't be your mommy |
00:23:47 |
...but I'll be your mommy |
00:23:50 |
And now I must go |
00:23:59 |
We'll read this another time. |
00:24:01 |
I don't care. |
00:25:14 |
- Good night, Jim. |
00:25:16 |
- Have a drink. |
00:25:19 |
What's the rush? We're having |
00:25:23 |
Can you believe it? |
00:25:24 |
Wish I could, but I'm late. |
00:25:27 |
You know Jerry Hoover, in media? |
00:25:30 |
Tell you something funny. |
00:25:31 |
Gotta go. See you Monday. |
00:25:38 |
Taxi! |
00:25:41 |
Taxi! |
00:25:46 |
- Here, keep the change. |
00:26:06 |
Hi, Mrs. Kline. I'm sorry I'm late. |
00:26:09 |
That's all right, but Billy is upset. |
00:26:12 |
Hey, how's it going, sport? |
00:26:15 |
I had a little trouble |
00:26:19 |
Sorry. Come on, let's get going. |
00:26:22 |
Thanks for coming, Billy. |
00:26:26 |
- Don't forget your goody bag. |
00:26:29 |
- Bye. |
00:26:31 |
- So, did you have a lot of fun? |
00:26:34 |
- I'm not that late. Only 20 minutes. |
00:26:39 |
All the other mothers were there |
00:26:45 |
Why are you making such a big deal |
00:26:51 |
If you want to be a big boy... |
00:26:55 |
...you learn that when somebody says |
00:26:59 |
...you don't hold a grudge |
00:27:04 |
...a long time afterwards. |
00:27:07 |
Okay, go ahead. |
00:27:12 |
Don't eat with your fingers. |
00:27:15 |
You know better than that. |
00:27:19 |
Use a fork. |
00:27:23 |
Come on, come on. |
00:27:27 |
How was school today? |
00:27:29 |
Same as usual. |
00:27:31 |
I see the Knicks finally won a game. |
00:27:33 |
I don't care. |
00:27:35 |
What do you mean? |
00:27:37 |
- I like Boston. |
00:27:41 |
Because Mommy's from Boston. |
00:27:48 |
Sit up and try to eat. Come on. |
00:27:50 |
Can I be excused? |
00:27:53 |
Too much birthday cake? |
00:27:55 |
Yeah, I guess. |
00:32:06 |
I'm sorry. Excuse me. |
00:32:08 |
Louise, give me a hand. |
00:32:09 |
You're 15 minutes late. |
00:32:11 |
- Mr. O'Connor is very upset. |
00:32:14 |
- Yes. Do you want your mail now? |
00:32:18 |
Remind me to get |
00:32:22 |
Okay, okay. |
00:32:23 |
Sorry I'm late. |
00:32:24 |
And there's a PTA meeting |
00:32:31 |
Right, thanks. |
00:32:33 |
Put the chicken in the refrigerator. |
00:32:38 |
Know who Charley's seeing now? |
00:32:40 |
Who? |
00:32:42 |
A divorced woman with two little girls |
00:32:46 |
- Are you kidding? |
00:32:48 |
How do you know? |
00:32:49 |
I know. |
00:32:51 |
How long has it been since |
00:32:54 |
Year and a half. |
00:32:55 |
That long? |
00:32:58 |
Did I ever tell you how sorry... |
00:33:00 |
...how sad Joanna and I were |
00:33:04 |
Look at that cute little boy |
00:33:08 |
You think you'll ever |
00:33:13 |
- I mean, to anybody. |
00:33:15 |
Why? |
00:33:18 |
Maybe it's different if you don't |
00:33:23 |
...even if Charley and I aren't living |
00:33:28 |
...sleeping with other people, even |
00:33:34 |
...he's still my husband... |
00:33:36 |
...and he's still the father of my |
00:33:41 |
That stuff about "till death do you |
00:33:45 |
Let's say Charley finishes |
00:33:49 |
...he's had it with his flings |
00:33:53 |
What would you do? |
00:33:59 |
I think that if he really loved me... |
00:34:04 |
...he wouldn't have let me |
00:34:16 |
You still think about him, don't you? |
00:34:19 |
Only all the time. |
00:34:29 |
- Think about Joanna? |
00:34:34 |
Liar. |
00:34:38 |
Some pair, boy. |
00:34:41 |
I don't believe it. |
00:34:43 |
- You missed the closing. |
00:34:46 |
Look, I gotta tell you something. |
00:34:50 |
Ever since your wife left you. |
00:34:54 |
You're not getting any better. |
00:34:56 |
What do you mean? |
00:34:57 |
Look, I can't let your family problems |
00:35:02 |
I got a shop to run. |
00:35:04 |
I regret it, and I promise you |
00:35:08 |
Okay? |
00:35:13 |
Yeah? |
00:35:16 |
Yeah, wait a minute. |
00:35:18 |
- It's for you, pick up 461. |
00:35:20 |
Pick up 461. |
00:35:25 |
Yeah? |
00:35:27 |
Oh, hi, Billy. What's up? |
00:35:30 |
No, one hour of television a day. |
00:35:34 |
No. |
00:35:36 |
I don't care what the other |
00:35:41 |
I can't talk now. I'm busy. |
00:35:43 |
We will talk about it tonight |
00:35:47 |
Double chocolate chip. I remember. |
00:35:54 |
I'm getting very nervous. |
00:36:03 |
Put that down and eat your dinner. |
00:36:05 |
What is this crap? |
00:36:08 |
- It's Salisbury steak. |
00:36:10 |
You had it last week and you loved it. |
00:36:13 |
No, I didn't. I hate the brown |
00:36:17 |
- It's onions and gravy. |
00:36:19 |
You are not. |
00:36:22 |
...and I said it was my favourite and you |
00:36:26 |
- I did not. |
00:36:29 |
It's regular hamburger. |
00:36:31 |
Take a bite. It's delicious. |
00:36:34 |
What's the matter? |
00:36:36 |
I'm gonna throw up. |
00:36:37 |
- No, you're not. |
00:36:39 |
It is not yucky, Billy. Eat it. |
00:36:47 |
Did you bring the chocolate chip |
00:36:52 |
Yes, I brought the chocolate chip |
00:36:55 |
...and you can't have it until |
00:36:59 |
Where are you going? |
00:37:01 |
Did you hear me? |
00:37:03 |
You'd better not do that. |
00:37:05 |
You'd better stop right there. |
00:37:11 |
Did you hear me? |
00:37:14 |
Now, you listen to me. |
00:37:18 |
Put that back until you finish |
00:37:23 |
If you take one bite out of that, |
00:37:28 |
Don't you dare. |
00:37:31 |
You hear me? Hold it right there. |
00:37:33 |
You put that ice cream in your mouth |
00:37:39 |
Don't you dare go anywhere |
00:37:42 |
I am not going to say it again. |
00:37:49 |
You're hurting me! |
00:37:51 |
Don't you kick me. |
00:37:54 |
- I hate you! |
00:37:57 |
You are a spoiled little brat! |
00:37:59 |
- I hate you! |
00:38:02 |
- I want my mommy! |
00:38:07 |
I want my mommy! |
00:38:14 |
I want my mommy! |
00:38:23 |
I want my mommy! |
00:38:27 |
Mommy... |
00:39:23 |
Daddy? |
00:39:25 |
Daddy? |
00:39:26 |
- Yeah? |
00:39:30 |
I'm sorry too. |
00:39:34 |
I want you to go to sleep |
00:39:39 |
Daddy? |
00:39:41 |
Now what is it? |
00:39:43 |
Are you going away? |
00:39:45 |
No. |
00:39:47 |
I'm staying here with you. |
00:39:51 |
That's why Mommy left, isn't it? |
00:39:56 |
Is that what you think? |
00:39:59 |
No. |
00:40:01 |
That's not it, Billy. |
00:40:05 |
...and the reason she left has |
00:40:11 |
I don't know if this will make sense, |
00:40:19 |
I think the reason why Mommy left... |
00:40:23 |
...was because for a long time... |
00:40:25 |
...I kept trying to make her be |
00:40:31 |
A certain kind of wife that |
00:40:36 |
And she just wasn't like that. |
00:40:40 |
She just wasn't like that. |
00:40:44 |
I think that she tried for so long |
00:40:50 |
...and when she couldn't, |
00:40:54 |
But I wasn't listening. |
00:40:59 |
...just thinking about myself. |
00:41:02 |
And I thought that anytime |
00:41:07 |
But I think underneath |
00:41:12 |
Mommy stayed here longer than she |
00:41:19 |
And the reason why Mommy |
00:41:23 |
...was because she couldn't stand me. |
00:41:26 |
She didn't leave because of you. |
00:41:44 |
Go to sleep now because |
00:41:50 |
Good night. |
00:41:52 |
- Sleep tight. |
00:41:54 |
See you in the morning light. |
00:41:57 |
- Daddy? |
00:42:00 |
I love you. |
00:42:04 |
I love you too. |
00:42:24 |
- Ladies and gentlemen... |
00:42:31 |
...welcome to our Halloween Pageant. |
00:42:34 |
...welcome to our Halloween Pageant. |
00:42:37 |
- With gruesome goblins. |
00:42:41 |
And ghostly ghosts. |
00:42:43 |
And wicked witches and spooky spooks. |
00:43:01 |
Tom, you and I both know |
00:43:05 |
Look, it doesn't make any difference. |
00:43:09 |
I don't care. Tell them if they |
00:43:13 |
All right, bye-bye. |
00:43:15 |
Hello, Kramer. |
00:43:17 |
Can you check the copy |
00:43:19 |
I think it's okay. |
00:43:32 |
Yes. |
00:43:35 |
Yes, what? |
00:43:39 |
I'll have dinner with you. |
00:43:47 |
Thank you. |
00:43:49 |
You're welcome. |
00:44:15 |
Oh, shit! |
00:44:16 |
- I gotta go. |
00:44:18 |
I gotta go. |
00:44:19 |
- Want me to call a cab? |
00:44:23 |
- Where you going? |
00:44:24 |
That's a closet. |
00:44:27 |
Yeah, you're right. |
00:44:29 |
These morons are violating the FTC |
00:44:36 |
Hi. |
00:44:39 |
- What's your name? |
00:44:42 |
Who? |
00:44:43 |
I'm a friend, uh, business associate |
00:44:49 |
Oh, Jesus. |
00:44:51 |
- Do you like fried chicken? |
00:44:55 |
So do I. |
00:44:59 |
Well, it's really... |
00:45:03 |
It's nice seeing you and... |
00:45:05 |
- Bye. |
00:45:10 |
Kramer, I just met your son. |
00:45:13 |
Come on, you're never going to do |
00:45:18 |
All right, come on. Thattaboy. |
00:45:23 |
Okay? How's it feel? |
00:45:25 |
Good. |
00:45:26 |
Keep it going, keep it going! |
00:45:30 |
Don't stop! Billy, keep your |
00:45:35 |
Oh, that's terrific. |
00:45:37 |
- Good! |
00:45:46 |
Don't go too far! |
00:45:52 |
- Yeah? |
00:45:56 |
So Tom got so mad, he jumped in |
00:46:00 |
...and he pushed over the table. |
00:46:03 |
Yeah? |
00:46:04 |
- Then... |
00:46:06 |
Then what happened? |
00:46:07 |
The big dog kept chasing him, |
00:46:12 |
- With all the stuff coming down? |
00:46:14 |
Then what happened? |
00:46:15 |
I don't want to be late for school. |
00:46:18 |
Here's your homework. Give me a kiss. |
00:46:22 |
- Hi, Tommy. |
00:46:31 |
Taxi! |
00:46:35 |
Hi. |
00:46:45 |
Your babysitter answers, |
00:46:50 |
Tell me where you were. |
00:46:51 |
Well... |
00:46:54 |
...my French professor finally |
00:46:57 |
- When? |
00:47:00 |
You had a date. |
00:47:01 |
I knew you were keeping |
00:47:03 |
- I thought he was a pretty neat guy. |
00:47:07 |
- So we go to dinner. |
00:47:09 |
I find out he's married. |
00:47:11 |
He's deep in analysis. |
00:47:15 |
- He's telling me his life story... |
00:47:18 |
...and all I can think of |
00:47:20 |
...is that I'm paying a babysitter |
00:47:24 |
...to listen to his problems. |
00:47:26 |
Daddy! Daddy, look! |
00:47:29 |
- Take that out of your hand. |
00:47:32 |
Did you hear me? |
00:47:39 |
Hold it, hold it! |
00:47:44 |
It hurts, Daddy. |
00:47:48 |
- Daddy, hurry. |
00:47:56 |
- I can't see, Daddy. |
00:47:59 |
Watch it! |
00:48:03 |
Daddy, please hurry. |
00:48:05 |
- We're almost there. |
00:48:08 |
Let me see. |
00:48:20 |
How did this happen? |
00:48:21 |
He fell off the jungle gym. |
00:48:24 |
He had a plane in his hand. |
00:48:26 |
I'm just about through. |
00:48:27 |
- Don't hurt him. |
00:48:29 |
Mr. Kramer, can I talk to you outside? |
00:48:32 |
Yeah. Can she come in? |
00:48:34 |
Margaret, come in. |
00:48:36 |
- Stay, Daddy. |
00:48:38 |
- Daddy, stay. |
00:48:41 |
It's all right, darling. |
00:48:42 |
I'm just talking to the doctor. |
00:48:45 |
He'll be right back. |
00:48:46 |
I'm right here. |
00:48:49 |
Will he lose his eye? |
00:48:50 |
No, but I have to take some stitches. |
00:48:54 |
How many? |
00:48:56 |
- About 10. |
00:48:57 |
Don't worry. There won't be |
00:49:01 |
This will take about 15 minutes, |
00:49:04 |
I want to be in there with him. |
00:49:06 |
- You don't need to be in there. |
00:49:09 |
If you're gonna do something, |
00:49:13 |
Good boy. You're really brave. |
00:49:26 |
That was a big one. |
00:49:34 |
Stop it. |
00:49:42 |
Okay, we're almost done now. |
00:50:29 |
How is he? |
00:50:30 |
He's okay. He's sleeping. |
00:50:34 |
It's okay. I can do that. |
00:50:38 |
Ted, I'm so sorry. |
00:50:41 |
I don't know what happened. |
00:50:43 |
One minute he was there and the |
00:50:48 |
Come on, Margaret. |
00:50:50 |
Now listen, I want |
00:50:54 |
It's a big favour. |
00:50:57 |
If something happened to me... |
00:51:00 |
...but if a building fell on me... |
00:51:03 |
...would you consider |
00:51:11 |
I want you to know that I put |
00:51:15 |
...and I... |
00:51:17 |
...can't think of anybody else |
00:51:21 |
I know you'd be okay |
00:51:25 |
...you're a good mother. |
00:51:33 |
You're a lousy dishwasher. |
00:51:37 |
- All right? |
00:51:48 |
You're all right. |
00:52:04 |
Louise, you want to get that? |
00:52:09 |
Louise, it's ringing... |
00:52:13 |
Yes, who is this? |
00:52:19 |
Joanna. |
00:00:22 |
- Hi. |
00:00:23 |
You look great. |
00:00:27 |
- How's your...? |
00:00:29 |
- I'm sorry. |
00:00:32 |
Fine. Vice president of nothing. |
00:00:35 |
No, really, it's great. |
00:00:36 |
- Would you like a drink? |
00:00:39 |
- White wine. |
00:00:41 |
- How's Billy? |
00:00:43 |
He had a little accident in a |
00:00:47 |
It was scary. |
00:00:50 |
He has a little scar, |
00:00:53 |
I've been worrying |
00:00:55 |
Don't do that. You can't even |
00:01:02 |
I sit in the coffee shop across |
00:01:07 |
He got so big. |
00:01:08 |
You've been watching him? |
00:01:10 |
I've been in New York for |
00:01:12 |
I didn't know that. |
00:01:14 |
Anyway... |
00:01:16 |
That's why I wanted |
00:01:20 |
Last time you saw me, |
00:01:25 |
- Shaky? |
00:01:27 |
Yeah, I was. |
00:01:29 |
I was. |
00:01:31 |
Well, you look lovely now. |
00:01:36 |
- What? |
00:01:38 |
Go ahead. |
00:01:44 |
All my life I've felt like... |
00:01:46 |
...somebody's wife or mother |
00:01:50 |
Even when we were together |
00:01:54 |
That's why I had to go away. |
00:01:56 |
In California, I think I found myself. |
00:02:00 |
I got myself a job. |
00:02:02 |
I got myself a therapist, |
00:02:06 |
And I feel better about myself |
00:02:10 |
I learned a lot about myself. |
00:02:14 |
Such as? |
00:02:17 |
No, really, I'd really like to |
00:02:27 |
I've learned |
00:02:32 |
And that I'm capable of taking |
00:02:35 |
What do you mean? |
00:02:39 |
I want my son. |
00:02:41 |
You can't have him. |
00:02:43 |
Don't get defensive. Don't bully me. |
00:02:45 |
I'm not getting defensive. |
00:02:47 |
Who walked out 15 months ago? |
00:02:49 |
I don't care. I'm still his mother. |
00:02:52 |
From 3000 miles away. |
00:02:53 |
Because you sent post cards gives |
00:02:56 |
I never stopped wanting him. |
00:02:59 |
What makes you sure he wants you? |
00:03:01 |
What makes you sure he doesn't? |
00:03:04 |
We're gonna sit here and |
00:03:07 |
- It's like old times. |
00:03:09 |
Don't tell me what I can or cannot do. |
00:03:13 |
- Don't talk to me that way. |
00:03:16 |
Do what you have to. |
00:03:19 |
I'm sorry about this. |
00:03:21 |
Do what you have to do. |
00:03:30 |
I don't know the legal jargon for it, |
00:03:34 |
I don't mean to tell you your job, |
00:03:39 |
There's no such thing as an open-and- |
00:03:44 |
I'll bet your ex-wife |
00:03:47 |
...who's advised her to move back |
00:03:51 |
The burden is on us to prove |
00:03:55 |
That means I'll have to play rough. |
00:03:59 |
...you can bet they will too. |
00:04:02 |
Yes. |
00:04:04 |
And it's going to cost you $15,000. |
00:04:08 |
That's if we win. |
00:04:10 |
If we go to appeal, |
00:04:14 |
I understand. |
00:04:17 |
Now, how old is the child again? |
00:04:19 |
My son is 7. |
00:04:21 |
- That's tough. |
00:04:23 |
In cases involving a child that young, |
00:04:27 |
She signed over custody. |
00:04:29 |
I'm not saying we don't have a shot, |
00:04:32 |
Do me a favour, will you? |
00:04:35 |
There's something I find useful |
00:04:38 |
I sit down and I write out all |
00:04:42 |
Write them and look at them. |
00:04:45 |
- I want you to do that, okay? |
00:04:48 |
And after that... |
00:04:49 |
...if you're really certain |
00:04:53 |
...then we'll go in there |
00:05:16 |
I love you, Billy. I know you're |
00:05:20 |
I love you with all my heart. |
00:05:40 |
Ted, you got a lunch? |
00:05:42 |
Hi, Jim. I don't know. I was trying |
00:05:47 |
Good. I'll pick you up at 1:00. |
00:05:51 |
Okay, you got it. |
00:05:53 |
So the other morning, |
00:05:56 |
...getting Billy ready for school. |
00:05:59 |
I'm just in my underwear |
00:06:03 |
He comes in and pats me. |
00:06:05 |
And he says, " Daddy, you've really |
00:06:09 |
He looks up at me and he says, |
00:06:16 |
He was so cute. You know? |
00:06:18 |
You know, kids. |
00:06:19 |
It's delicious, want a taste? |
00:06:21 |
- I'm full. |
00:06:23 |
Listen, Ted... |
00:06:25 |
...I had a call from a friend |
00:06:31 |
The Mid-Atlantic people have |
00:06:35 |
Why? |
00:06:36 |
They're not happy |
00:06:40 |
I think you should have them over |
00:06:45 |
I got Norman working on it. |
00:06:47 |
Norman? |
00:06:51 |
You taking me off the account? |
00:06:56 |
You don't like me anymore? |
00:06:57 |
It's not quite that simple. |
00:07:02 |
I think we're gonna have to |
00:07:09 |
You're firing me? |
00:07:12 |
Yeah, I'm letting you go, yes. |
00:07:18 |
Why? |
00:07:19 |
Now, look, Ted, this is |
00:07:23 |
I've been getting a lot of pressure |
00:07:27 |
There wasn't anything I could do. |
00:07:29 |
I think it's better this way. |
00:07:32 |
If I took your stripes... |
00:07:33 |
...if I put you on a schlock account, |
00:07:38 |
This way it's a clean break. |
00:07:41 |
You know my wife is fighting |
00:07:44 |
You know that we're going to court? |
00:07:47 |
Do you know what my chances are |
00:07:51 |
I understand that you're upset... |
00:07:53 |
I don't want to beg, but I'm |
00:07:58 |
I'm asking you. |
00:07:59 |
You're an extremely bright guy. |
00:08:03 |
You're gonna land on your feet. |
00:08:07 |
Teddy, look. |
00:08:10 |
I know you may be short on cash. |
00:08:13 |
No big hurry about paying this back. |
00:08:16 |
Shame on you. |
00:09:10 |
Daddy, the phone's ringing. |
00:09:13 |
- Mr. Kramer? |
00:09:15 |
- Hold on for Mr. Shaunessy. |
00:09:17 |
John. What's happening? |
00:09:19 |
They set the court date. |
00:09:23 |
I gotta tell you something. |
00:09:30 |
Yeah, I'm still here. |
00:09:33 |
We don't have a hope of winning |
00:09:38 |
Yeah, listen, you tell that... |
00:09:41 |
You tell that party and you tell |
00:09:44 |
...that I want a delay. |
00:09:46 |
Sorry, it's really too late. |
00:09:48 |
- Fine. I'll have a job in 24 hours. |
00:09:51 |
I'll have a job in 24 hours. |
00:10:22 |
This is the worst time |
00:10:25 |
It's the holidays. We'll have |
00:10:29 |
- March, at the latest. |
00:10:32 |
Mr. Kramer, it's December 22. |
00:10:35 |
If you could just look |
00:10:42 |
I'll take anything. |
00:10:47 |
There might be something |
00:10:51 |
What is it? |
00:10:53 |
Something in the art department. |
00:10:55 |
You'd go back on the board. |
00:10:56 |
It's really a step down, |
00:11:00 |
You'll be happier if you wait. |
00:11:02 |
Call them up, make an appointment |
00:11:06 |
It's the Friday before Christmas. |
00:11:08 |
It's still a workday. |
00:11:09 |
Nobody's gonna want to... |
00:11:11 |
Either you call them or I do. |
00:11:13 |
If I call them up, you don't get |
00:11:17 |
My, we are a hotshot, aren't we? |
00:11:21 |
Yes, we are. |
00:11:29 |
- Good afternoon. |
00:11:33 |
I did all of the copy on that one. |
00:11:38 |
That was the most successful |
00:11:41 |
I did the idea, the layout |
00:11:46 |
Mr. Kramer, I must say, |
00:11:50 |
I'd like to get back to you. |
00:11:52 |
Is there someone I should see |
00:11:56 |
Mr. Spencer, our creative director. |
00:11:58 |
Why don't you let me see him now? |
00:12:01 |
He's leaving on vacation. I'll set |
00:12:06 |
- I think... |
00:12:08 |
I'd like to see him before he leaves. |
00:12:12 |
- Mr. Kramer, I don't... |
00:12:18 |
Wait here. |
00:12:50 |
Mr. Kramer, Mr. Spencer. |
00:12:52 |
- How do you do? |
00:12:57 |
You do understand that the salary is |
00:13:02 |
Yes, I understand. |
00:13:04 |
Why are you interested in a position |
00:13:08 |
I need the job. |
00:13:10 |
Let me think. I'll let Jack know |
00:13:14 |
This is a one-day offer. |
00:13:16 |
You saw my book, |
00:13:19 |
You're gonna have to let me know today, |
00:13:24 |
If you want me, |
00:13:33 |
Could we talk privately for a moment? |
00:13:36 |
Yes, sir. |
00:14:23 |
Mr. Kramer, you got yourself a job. |
00:14:28 |
Really? |
00:14:31 |
- Is he kidding? |
00:14:34 |
Thank you. Thank you very much. |
00:14:55 |
Merry Christmas. |
00:15:10 |
Come on. |
00:15:16 |
- What do you think? |
00:15:18 |
- I told you. |
00:15:21 |
It's Saturday, so very few people |
00:15:26 |
Okay, push " up." |
00:15:31 |
Push the top button. |
00:15:33 |
Go ahead, jump. |
00:15:38 |
- Look at that! |
00:15:40 |
You didn't know you were so high. |
00:15:41 |
What building is that? |
00:15:44 |
That's the Chrysler. |
00:15:46 |
You proud of me? |
00:15:48 |
How'd you get this job? |
00:15:50 |
I told them I wanted it. |
00:15:53 |
It says " Kramer." |
00:15:54 |
Kramer. Who's that? |
00:15:57 |
- That's us. |
00:15:59 |
You want to see? |
00:16:02 |
Wow! |
00:16:05 |
- This is neat. |
00:16:08 |
Careful, careful. |
00:16:10 |
- I'm okay. |
00:16:11 |
What's that building? |
00:16:13 |
That's the U.N. building. |
00:16:16 |
Look across there. You see that? |
00:16:18 |
That's Queens. |
00:16:21 |
- Know what that is? |
00:16:23 |
- Brooklyn. |
00:16:26 |
That's right, |
00:16:31 |
Is this really your desk? |
00:16:36 |
Are you gonna get remarried? |
00:16:38 |
I hadn't thought about it. |
00:16:40 |
Are you gonna marry Phyllis? |
00:16:43 |
No, we're just good friends. |
00:16:49 |
Are you and Mom ever |
00:16:52 |
No, Mommy and me will never |
00:16:55 |
I bet if she saw this, |
00:17:01 |
You're a con artist. We made a deal. |
00:17:04 |
You take a bath every night... |
00:17:07 |
...and you wash that filthy hair |
00:17:10 |
- Right? |
00:17:11 |
Okay. |
00:17:13 |
Promise, or you're not going. |
00:17:14 |
Did I have to |
00:17:17 |
I don't care what you had |
00:17:22 |
Did l, Dad? Did I? |
00:17:27 |
Are you listening? |
00:17:29 |
We'll talk about it tonight |
00:17:32 |
Come here, give me a kiss. |
00:17:34 |
- What? |
00:17:43 |
He says, "There's the unicorn." |
00:17:45 |
And he goes underneath there, |
00:17:48 |
" Crumbs, what's happening? |
00:17:51 |
The air supply has stopped. |
00:17:52 |
Thundering typhoons, |
00:17:55 |
" Resting. It's tiring work, |
00:17:58 |
What's the air supply? |
00:18:00 |
When you got two tanks on your back |
00:18:03 |
...you can drown, |
00:18:06 |
Ted, John Shaunessy. |
00:18:07 |
Hi, what's up? |
00:18:08 |
I got a call from your wife's lawyer. |
00:18:13 |
- She wants what? |
00:18:16 |
She's within her legal rights. |
00:18:18 |
- How do I know she won't kidnap him? |
00:18:22 |
...suing if she's gonna kidnap him. |
00:18:25 |
Wait. I'm not so sure |
00:18:29 |
- What do you mean? |
00:18:32 |
A psychiatrist. |
00:18:33 |
Did you see her talk to walls? |
00:18:35 |
I'm just saying, you know. |
00:18:37 |
I'm just saying you don't |
00:18:39 |
Have Billy at the boat pond |
00:18:43 |
- Do I have to? |
00:18:46 |
Thanks very much. |
00:18:49 |
Daddy, will you come on |
00:18:53 |
Okay, I'm coming. I'm coming. |
00:18:59 |
What happens if the guy drowns? |
00:19:03 |
When you die, there's bubbles |
00:19:07 |
Where did I leave off? |
00:19:08 |
You left off right there. |
00:19:11 |
"Thundering typhoons..." |
00:19:16 |
It's got an obstacle course and stuff. |
00:19:18 |
- The cars go really fast. |
00:19:20 |
It's really neat. |
00:19:22 |
It's neat. |
00:19:24 |
- Come here, I want you to look... |
00:19:42 |
I'll have him back by 6. |
00:19:45 |
You got so handsome. |
00:20:43 |
Remember, we talked about it, |
00:20:48 |
Just tell the truth and it'll be |
00:20:54 |
- She's here. |
00:20:57 |
Whatever you do, try not to become |
00:21:01 |
You'll hear things that may upset you. |
00:21:05 |
Persons having business with the |
00:21:09 |
...special term part five, |
00:21:13 |
This court is now in session. |
00:21:35 |
- Is the petitioner's attorney ready? |
00:21:38 |
I would like to call Joanna Kramer. |
00:21:41 |
Motherhood, going for the throat. |
00:21:43 |
You swear to tell the truth |
00:21:46 |
I do. |
00:21:53 |
Now, Mrs. Kramer, would you tell |
00:21:58 |
Eight years. |
00:21:59 |
And would you describe those years |
00:22:03 |
The first two, yes. |
00:22:05 |
But after that it became |
00:22:10 |
Mrs. Kramer, did you hold a job |
00:22:14 |
Yes, I did. |
00:22:18 |
...I worked in the art department of |
00:22:24 |
Did you continue to work |
00:22:28 |
No. I did not. |
00:22:30 |
Did you wish to? |
00:22:32 |
Yes, but every time I talked to Ted... |
00:22:37 |
To my ex-husband about it, |
00:22:42 |
He refused to discuss it |
00:22:47 |
He said that I |
00:22:50 |
...that would pay enough |
00:22:53 |
Tell me, are you employed |
00:22:56 |
I'm a sportswear designer |
00:22:59 |
And what is your present salary? |
00:23:01 |
I make $31,000 a year. |
00:23:04 |
Mrs. Kramer, do you love your child? |
00:23:09 |
Yes, I do, very much. |
00:23:12 |
And yet you chose to leave him. |
00:23:15 |
Yes. |
00:23:23 |
During the last five years |
00:23:28 |
...I was becoming more |
00:23:31 |
More and more troubled. |
00:23:33 |
And I really needed |
00:23:37 |
...but when I turned to Ted, he just... |
00:23:41 |
...wasn't there for me. |
00:23:44 |
So we became more isolated |
00:23:47 |
...more and more separate. |
00:23:50 |
He was very involved in his career. |
00:23:53 |
And because of his attitude |
00:23:58 |
...and his inability |
00:24:02 |
...I had come to have |
00:24:06 |
I was scared and I was very unhappy. |
00:24:09 |
In my mind I had no choice |
00:24:14 |
At the time I left, I felt that |
00:24:19 |
...and that my son would be |
00:24:24 |
And it was only after I got |
00:24:28 |
...after getting into therapy, |
00:24:35 |
And just because I needed some kind |
00:24:40 |
...other than my child, |
00:24:44 |
I would like to submit in evidence |
00:24:48 |
...Dr. Eleanor Freedman. |
00:24:50 |
Objection, Your Honour. |
00:24:51 |
The report is irrelevant |
00:24:55 |
Overruled. |
00:24:58 |
Can you tell the court why |
00:25:03 |
Because he's my child... |
00:25:06 |
...and because I love him. |
00:25:10 |
I know I left my son. |
00:25:13 |
I know that |
00:25:19 |
Believe me, I have to live with that |
00:25:24 |
But in order to leave him... |
00:25:26 |
...I had to believe it was |
00:25:32 |
...and that it was |
00:25:34 |
I was incapable of functioning |
00:25:37 |
And I didn't know... |
00:25:39 |
...what the alternative was... |
00:25:42 |
...so I thought it was not best |
00:25:45 |
However, I have since |
00:25:49 |
...and I have worked very, very hard |
00:25:56 |
I don't think I should be |
00:26:01 |
I don't think my little boy |
00:26:04 |
Billy's only 7 years old. |
00:26:07 |
He needs me. |
00:26:10 |
I'm not saying he doesn't |
00:26:14 |
...but I really believe |
00:26:18 |
I was his mommy |
00:26:24 |
...and Ted took over that role |
00:26:32 |
But I don't know how anybody |
00:26:35 |
...that I have less of a stake |
00:26:40 |
...than Mr. Kramer does. |
00:26:45 |
I'm his mother. |
00:26:49 |
I'm his mother. |
00:26:56 |
Thank you, Mrs. Kramer. |
00:26:58 |
I have no further questions. |
00:27:02 |
Now then, Mrs. Kramer... |
00:27:05 |
...you say that you were married |
00:27:12 |
In all that time did your husband ever |
00:27:18 |
No. |
00:27:20 |
Did he ever strike or physically |
00:27:26 |
Would you describe your husband |
00:27:31 |
A heavy drinker? |
00:27:33 |
Was he unfaithful? |
00:27:42 |
Did he ever fail |
00:27:48 |
I can certainly see why you left him. |
00:27:51 |
Objection. |
00:27:54 |
How long do you plan to live |
00:27:58 |
Permanently. |
00:28:01 |
How many boyfriends have you had, |
00:28:04 |
Objection on grounds of vagueness. |
00:28:07 |
I'll allow it. |
00:28:12 |
I don't recall. |
00:28:14 |
More than three, less than 33, |
00:28:16 |
- Objection. |
00:28:18 |
The witness will answer, please. |
00:28:22 |
Somewhere in between. |
00:28:24 |
Do you have a lover now? |
00:28:30 |
Your Honour, I would request a direct |
00:28:34 |
Does she have a lover? |
00:28:36 |
I'll allow that. |
00:28:41 |
Yes, I'm seeing someone now. |
00:28:44 |
Is that... permanent? |
00:28:48 |
I don't know. |
00:28:50 |
We don't know |
00:28:52 |
...if you plan to live in New York, |
00:28:57 |
...since you've never done anything |
00:29:02 |
Objection. I request the counsel be |
00:29:06 |
Sustained. |
00:29:08 |
I'll put it another way, counsellor. |
00:29:11 |
What was the longest personal |
00:29:15 |
...outside of parents or girlfriends? |
00:29:20 |
I suppose that would be my child. |
00:29:22 |
Whom you've seen twice in a year. |
00:29:25 |
Mrs. Kramer, your ex-husband... |
00:29:29 |
...wasn't he the longest |
00:29:36 |
Would you speak up? |
00:29:40 |
Yes. |
00:29:41 |
How long was that? |
00:29:45 |
We were married a year |
00:29:49 |
...and seven years after. |
00:29:50 |
So you were a failure at the most |
00:29:54 |
- Objection. |
00:29:56 |
The witness's opinion on this |
00:30:00 |
I was not a failure. |
00:30:02 |
What do you call it, a success? |
00:30:06 |
I consider it less my failure |
00:30:09 |
Congratulations. |
00:30:11 |
You've just rewritten matrimonial law. |
00:30:15 |
Objection! |
00:30:17 |
Your Honour, I would like to ask |
00:30:21 |
...and respectability |
00:30:24 |
Were you a failure at the one most |
00:30:31 |
- It did not succeed. |
00:30:36 |
Were you a failure at the one most |
00:30:41 |
Were you?! |
00:30:48 |
No. |
00:30:55 |
Is that a yes, Mrs. Kramer? |
00:31:04 |
No further questions. |
00:31:10 |
- Did you have to be so rough? |
00:31:13 |
Daddy? |
00:31:15 |
Daddy. |
00:31:17 |
- Yeah? |
00:31:20 |
The same things you do. |
00:31:22 |
Did you watch The Brady Bunch? |
00:31:25 |
No, we didn't have any television. |
00:31:28 |
You didn't? |
00:31:30 |
We listened to the radio. |
00:31:32 |
What else didn't you have? |
00:31:34 |
We didn't have lots of things. |
00:31:36 |
- Like? |
00:31:39 |
What kind? |
00:31:43 |
Come here. |
00:31:46 |
We didn't have diet soda. |
00:31:47 |
We had egg creams, which was |
00:31:50 |
...seltzer water and a bit of |
00:31:53 |
...and you drank it |
00:31:56 |
We didn't have the Mets, |
00:31:58 |
We had the Polo Grounds |
00:32:02 |
Boy, those were the days. |
00:32:04 |
We didn't have the Volkswagens... |
00:32:06 |
...but we had all those different cars |
00:32:10 |
We didn't have Burger King |
00:32:13 |
We had automats where you put a |
00:32:17 |
...a piece of pie or a sandwich |
00:32:21 |
We didn't have graffiti, |
00:32:25 |
Mr. Kramer is a very devoted father. |
00:32:27 |
He spends a great deal of time |
00:32:30 |
He reads to Billy a lot. |
00:32:32 |
They play together, |
00:32:37 |
He's a wonderful father. |
00:32:39 |
Thank you. |
00:32:42 |
Mrs. Phelps, how long |
00:32:45 |
About six years, ever since she and |
00:32:49 |
How often did you see |
00:32:54 |
I haven't seen them together now for |
00:32:58 |
...back then I saw them two or |
00:33:01 |
My oldest daughter and Billy |
00:33:04 |
Can you describe the relationship |
00:33:09 |
It was good. |
00:33:10 |
Joanna was a very good mother. |
00:33:12 |
Both Ted and Joanna are very... |
00:33:14 |
Did Mrs. Kramer discuss her |
00:33:18 |
Yes. |
00:33:20 |
Can you tell the court |
00:33:25 |
Joanna wasn't happy for many reasons... |
00:33:27 |
Did you ever hear her say Mr. Kramer |
00:33:36 |
Would you answer the question? |
00:33:39 |
- I didn't hear you. |
00:33:42 |
Did you ever encourage |
00:33:45 |
No, I did not. |
00:33:49 |
Several days before she left, |
00:33:53 |
" If you're in this much pain, |
00:33:59 |
- I didn't think Joanna... |
00:34:02 |
" If you're in this much pain, |
00:34:06 |
- Yes, but she was my friend... |
00:34:11 |
Mrs. Phelps, you may step down. |
00:34:13 |
Joanna, things are not the same now. |
00:34:16 |
Ted is not the same man. |
00:34:18 |
- You don't know how hard he's tried... |
00:34:21 |
They're beautiful together. |
00:34:23 |
The witness is asked to step down. |
00:34:25 |
If you could see them together... |
00:34:27 |
...maybe you wouldn't be here now. |
00:34:29 |
Mrs. Phelps, that will be all! |
00:34:37 |
I'm sorry. |
00:34:41 |
When you were talking... |
00:34:43 |
When my ex-wife was talking about how |
00:34:48 |
...most of what she said |
00:34:51 |
There's a lot I didn't understand. |
00:34:54 |
There's a lot |
00:34:57 |
...just like there's a lot you wish |
00:35:00 |
Some things, once they're done, |
00:35:05 |
My wife... |
00:35:07 |
My ex-wife says she loves Billy |
00:35:13 |
But I don't think |
00:35:16 |
If I understand it correctly... |
00:35:19 |
...what means the most here is |
00:35:23 |
What's best for Billy. |
00:35:27 |
My wife used to say to me: |
00:35:29 |
"Why can't a woman have |
00:35:33 |
I think you're right. |
00:35:34 |
And maybe I've learned that much. |
00:35:37 |
By the same token, I'd like to know... |
00:35:40 |
...what law says a woman is a better |
00:35:45 |
I've had time to think about |
00:35:49 |
It has to do with constancy. |
00:35:52 |
...listening to him... |
00:35:54 |
...or pretending to listen |
00:35:57 |
It has to do with love, |
00:36:00 |
I don't know where it says a woman |
00:36:04 |
...that a man has any less |
00:36:08 |
Billy has a home with me. |
00:36:11 |
It's not perfect. |
00:36:14 |
Sometimes I don't have enough patience |
00:36:20 |
But I'm there. |
00:36:23 |
We eat breakfast and he talks to me, |
00:36:27 |
At night we have dinner together and |
00:36:33 |
And we built a life together |
00:36:44 |
If you destroy that... |
00:36:47 |
...it may be irreparable. |
00:36:57 |
Joanna, don't do that, please. |
00:37:02 |
- Don't do it twice to him. |
00:37:06 |
No further questions. |
00:37:09 |
How long have you |
00:37:12 |
Ever since I graduated high school. |
00:37:15 |
College, I mean. |
00:37:19 |
Would you say you've achieved a |
00:37:23 |
Yes, I have a good reputation. |
00:37:25 |
When you worked at Roth, Kane |
00:37:29 |
Around $33,000 dollars a year |
00:37:31 |
Now you work at Norman, Craig |
00:37:34 |
- Yes. |
00:37:37 |
It's almost 29,000. |
00:37:39 |
Could you be more specific? |
00:37:42 |
I make $28,200. |
00:37:45 |
28,200. |
00:37:47 |
You're the only person who's working |
00:37:52 |
Objection. Your Honour, I ask that |
00:37:57 |
Sustained. |
00:37:58 |
Is it true you were fired |
00:38:01 |
- I was let go. |
00:38:06 |
There was a difference |
00:38:09 |
Is it true your agency lost a major |
00:38:14 |
Objection! |
00:38:15 |
I'm trying to establish |
00:38:18 |
He cannot hold a job. |
00:38:20 |
I'll allow it, Mr. Shaunessy. |
00:38:23 |
It's not unusual in advertising |
00:38:26 |
...to change his mind |
00:38:29 |
Was it true you walked out on a |
00:38:33 |
...saying that you had an appointment |
00:38:37 |
My son was sitting next to a kid |
00:38:40 |
- Yes or no? |
00:38:43 |
Last spring, did you miss a deadline |
00:38:47 |
...causing your company a |
00:38:50 |
...and considerable |
00:38:52 |
On that day I had to go home |
00:38:55 |
Did you or did you not |
00:38:58 |
- My son was sick. |
00:39:01 |
I'm trying to answer the question. |
00:39:05 |
- Yes or no? |
00:39:07 |
He's lying there sweating! |
00:39:10 |
Mr. Kramer, I urge you to stop |
00:39:21 |
I missed the deadline. |
00:39:23 |
- Do you have a violent temper? |
00:39:26 |
- Objection. |
00:39:29 |
- Do you consider yourself a fit parent? |
00:39:32 |
Is it true your child nearly lost |
00:39:35 |
- Objection. |
00:39:37 |
Answer the question. |
00:39:39 |
He was in the playground, |
00:39:41 |
And fell and nearly lost an eye |
00:39:44 |
He fell and cut himself. |
00:39:46 |
Is it true you told your ex-wife... |
00:39:48 |
...you were responsible for the |
00:39:52 |
Did you tell her: |
00:39:53 |
"When it happened I felt guilty. |
00:39:57 |
- Objection! |
00:40:36 |
Ted? |
00:40:39 |
Ted? |
00:40:45 |
I'm sorry. I mentioned the accident |
00:40:50 |
...and I never thought he would |
00:40:55 |
Believe me. |
00:40:57 |
I never would have mentioned it if |
00:41:02 |
I'm sorry. |
00:41:04 |
I'm... |
00:41:17 |
Ted. |
00:41:18 |
- Hi. |
00:41:20 |
Heard anything yet? |
00:41:22 |
Any day. My lawyer says |
00:41:25 |
- Guess what. |
00:41:27 |
Charley and I are talking about |
00:41:30 |
Really? |
00:41:33 |
No, I called him. |
00:41:34 |
How come? |
00:41:36 |
I don't know. I got to thinking |
00:41:40 |
And... |
00:41:42 |
I don't think it'll work out, |
00:41:45 |
That's terrific. |
00:41:49 |
I don't know. |
00:42:02 |
- Hi. |
00:42:07 |
I lost. |
00:42:09 |
I can't tell you how sorry I am. |
00:42:21 |
What happened? |
00:42:23 |
The judge went for motherhood |
00:42:28 |
"Ordered and decreed that the |
00:42:32 |
...effective Monday, |
00:42:35 |
...that the respondent pay for the |
00:42:40 |
The father shall have the |
00:42:43 |
Every other weekend, one night a |
00:42:47 |
...and one half of the child's |
00:42:50 |
- That's it. |
00:42:52 |
I can't guarantee anything. |
00:42:54 |
I'll take my chances. |
00:42:56 |
- It'll cost you. |
00:42:59 |
Look, Ted, I have to |
00:43:03 |
This time it'll be Billy that pays. |
00:43:06 |
I'll have to put him on the stand. |
00:43:08 |
I can't do that. |
00:43:10 |
No, I don't want to do that. |
00:43:15 |
Thanks very much for your time. |
00:43:34 |
Ted? It's me. |
00:43:42 |
Ted? |
00:43:44 |
I just heard. |
00:43:46 |
Please go away. |
00:43:49 |
Are you okay? |
00:43:52 |
I just have to be by myself |
00:44:03 |
I don't understand. |
00:44:05 |
The problem is your mom and I |
00:44:08 |
So that's why we decided to go see |
00:44:12 |
...and we let him decide because |
00:44:16 |
We talked to him for a few days |
00:44:20 |
You know what? |
00:44:23 |
He thought it'd be terrific |
00:44:26 |
I'm lucky because I get to have |
00:44:30 |
And twice a month |
00:44:35 |
Where's my bed gonna be? |
00:44:38 |
Mommy's figured that all out. You |
00:44:44 |
- Where will all my toys be? |
00:44:47 |
We're gonna take |
00:44:49 |
If you play your cards right, |
00:44:53 |
Who's gonna read me |
00:44:56 |
Mommy will. |
00:44:58 |
You're not gonna kiss me |
00:45:01 |
No, I won't be able to do that. |
00:45:03 |
But, you know, I get to visit. |
00:45:09 |
It's gonna be okay. Really. |
00:45:12 |
If I don't like it, can I come home? |
00:45:15 |
What do you mean? |
00:45:17 |
You'll have a great time with Mommy. |
00:45:19 |
Really. She loves you so much. |
00:45:22 |
Dad? |
00:45:24 |
Don't forget, once, if you can |
00:45:34 |
We're gonna be okay. |
00:45:41 |
Let's go get some ice cream. |
00:47:23 |
Come on, let's get |
00:47:28 |
Let's get a little hustle now, okay? |
00:47:30 |
Come on, set the table. |
00:47:40 |
Come on. |
00:47:53 |
Are you ready? |
00:48:13 |
Yes? |
00:48:14 |
It's Joanna. |
00:48:17 |
Can you come down here |
00:48:27 |
Hi. |
00:48:29 |
What's up? |
00:48:35 |
Tell me. What? |
00:48:38 |
I woke up this morning. |
00:48:43 |
Kept thinking about Billy... |
00:48:46 |
...and I was thinking about |
00:48:49 |
...with his little clouds |
00:48:52 |
...and I thought I should have |
00:48:58 |
...then he would think that |
00:49:05 |
I came here to take my son home. |
00:49:13 |
And I realized he already is home. |
00:49:21 |
I love him very much. |
00:49:29 |
I'm not gonna take him with me. |
00:49:40 |
Can I go up and talk to him? |
00:49:44 |
Yeah. |
00:49:53 |
Why don't you go upstairs |
00:50:08 |
How do I look? |
00:50:11 |
Terrific. |
