The first 200 lines.
One fine day
You'll look at me
And then you'll know our love was
Meant to be
One fine day
You're gonna want me
For your girl
The arms I long for
Will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me
Right by your side
One fine day
You're gonna want me
For your girl
Oh, now I know you're
The kind of a boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting
And someday, darlin'
You'll come to me
When you want to settle down
One fine day
We'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love
You threw away before
One fine day
You're gonna want me
And one fine day
You're gonna want me
And one fine day
You're gonna want me
For your girl
I heard that my, my son Dave Jr.
You met Dave Jr. on the last...
This is great news. I heard, now,
I was notified Sunday that Dave Jr.
Will be tried as a juvenile for grand theft auto.
Oh, congratulations.
Great news. Great...
911!
911!
Mommy.
Mom.
I'm really thirsty, Mommy.
Okay.
Okay? Okay, sweetie.
Good night.
Wait. There's one more sip left.
Half a sip. You don't need it. Good night.
I do need it. I do need it, Mommy.
Okay.
Now good night for real. Okay?
Good night, Mom.
Night-night, honey.
I'm real excited about the field trip tomorrow.
I love big boats.
That's good.
The Circle Line is big, right?
Yeah.
Good.
Mom?
It's sleepy time now.
Is Daddy coming to my soccer game tomorrow?
He's gonna try, Sammy.
Honey, do you remember when I explained to you
that Daddy has a different schedule than a lot of other daddies?
Yeah.
Well, musicians, they don't always know
exactly when they're going to get a chance to play,
so, there's a chance he might not come tomorrow.
But he's gonna try.
Yeah. He's gonna try.
I love you a million, billion, zillion.
Do you love him?
Mommy?
I will always love your daddy
because he gave me you.
Now go to sleep.
I can't sleep, Mom.
I had a bad dream.
In just two minutes, you already fell asleep
and had a bad dream?
Oh, sweetie.
Oh, shoot!
I don't even think I knew her.
I had no idea. I divorced her.
Hi, Jack.
- Hi. - Dad!
- Hi, Daddy! - Hey! I got you!
Watch your step.
Maggie, be careful!
I do it all the time, Mom.
- Does it all the time. - I can't believe
you still haven't gotten the plumbing fixed, Jack.
So what's up, Kristen?
You know that me and Greg got married last Saturday.
Oh, yeah. How's Greg?
He's downstairs waiting in the car with an ulcer
hoping you'll say yes.
I need you to watch Maggie for me.
Okay. Yeah. I can do that till about 6:00.
Would that help?
- Well... - No.
For the whole week, Daddy.
The whole week.
We were scheduled to leave this morning
on our honeymoon, but the nanny called to say
that she's got to go watch her mother
have a benign tumor removed in Ohio.
Greg's parents are too old.
Mine are too, too crazy. Yours are dead.
The tickets are nonrefundable.
So that leaves you.
- Okay. Kristen, I would love to... - Do this, please!
But, you know, I'm working on a story right now.
You're always working on a story.
Well, yeah. It's what I do.
It's the same old one
about an every-other-weekend, good-time father
for whom responsibility is a dirty word.
Here's a hint, Kristen.
During an attempted manipulation, like the one that's in progress,
I would've gone with flattery.
Why do I always have to be the grownup
where you always get to be the little boy?
'Cause in the beginning of the relationship
when we were choosing up sides,
you chose grownup first.
This is how you really want it, Kristen.
No. What I really want
is just once for you to make a sacrifice
Come here, my little noodle. My little creature.
Go pee. And wash your hands and face
and brush your teeth.
We're in a little bit of a hurry this morning
'cause we have to take your friend Maggie to school,
and we can't be late because of your field trip.
I hate Maggie.
She thinks she's so funny.
Maggie.
Hey, Jack, here's Maggie's doctor's number
and the number of a really good baby-sitter
who can help you out tomorrow.
She's got a walk-on part on a soap today.
And there's one last thing. This is really important.
My neighbor was supposed to take Maggie
to the Westside Montessori School for me this morning.
Okay? She lives in my building.
- Jack. Jack? - Upp. Hupp!
Apartment 501. This is her number.
Okay.
Her name is Melanie Parker.
Now, if you want her to take Maggie to school for you...
If you want her to take Maggie to school for you,
bring Maggie to her house
before 8:00 so you don't miss them.
If not, call Mel and let her know
that you don't need her to take Maggie.
Jack, okay? I'm gonna miss my plane.
I don't think this is a very good idea.
Maybe I should just cancel my honeymoon.
Don't cancel your honeymoon. Give me these.
- You sure? - Yep.
Okay. Those are the telephone numbers.
- Say hi to Greg. - Bye, baby!
Bye!
Bye, baby.
Bye, baby!
Baby!
Come on, Mom.
Okay.
Press 2, honey.
What...
Wonder where they are.
Some more?
We got s'mores, but we're gonna need some more.
We're having a Manhattan camp-out.
Why don't you just bang on the door?
We can't bang on the door of honeymooners.
What time's your school start?
I don't know.
Probably starts around 9:00.
Everything starts around 9:00.
We're gonna get there a few minutes early
just to be safe.
What street's your school on?
I don't know.
We're in trouble.
I'm gonna miss the boat trip, aren't I?
They're never gonna leave on time.
We'll make it. I promise.
Let's run just in case.
What's it say?
"The whole school is on the Circle Line. Sorry we missed you."
That's a big "uh-oh," right?
Mom!
You must be Kristen's ex-husband.
Hi, Sammy.
Hi, Maggie.
You must be...
