terrific thanks to make things extra special i traipsed downtown with a bottle of champagne so we could watch the sun go down together but you weren't there why didn't you call or something you know i had to move some things around you bastard who goes to lunch for seven hours and with the 19 year old to boot are you nuts i've been in a deposition since 1 30 and linda was i don't even know where linda was you're gonna stand here and lie to my face why am i some client some judge some gullible half-assed jury you think you could convince me that black is white admit it dan you are sleeping

linda or anybody [Music] lie a liar else on fire [Music] [Applause] [Music] who cares i don't know dan i mean burning your clothes that's betty a little extreme though i can afford new clothes i don't think that's what i meant ellen what did you mean look betty got out of hand i get out of hand it's par for the course you should pardon the expression yeah and this is a woman who's been telling you she wants a divorce into your honeymoon doesn't that worry you right now i'm more worried about sinking this putt you mind if we drop the subject why would somebody retain us his council and then go off and do whatever the hell he wants to he's an even bigger obstacle in this case than the hospital board good point uh yeah i guess that's it oh uh linda is there any news on the corvette oh they've had seven weeks to find one what is red such an unusual color you know what no don't bother call the jerks and thomas stuff really enough is enough come on listen i'm under orders to resume my vacation yeah well thanks for everything you're doing a great job i can yeah i can actually relax of a fashion i will okay you take care now [Laughter] i feel that you have a frivolous case here and i just don't want to be involved with it well you're certainly entitled to your feelings sir want some good news yeah sure what you got how much do you still want that red corvette you told me to tell them to stuff what do you mean well i did my own little research project and lo and behold the exact car you specified is in fact sitting at a dealership waiting for you to purchase it provided you're still interested provided i'm still interested very funny when can i pick it up when i close at six you better leave now no it's only 1 15. where is this place malibu it's fantastic thanks anytime hey you did all the work on this i'll go for ride my new car only if you put the top down [Music] so so you finally found one well actually i didn't i mean i didn't think i would but there it is well maybe this will help help help you feel better i know you're not happy dan i know why exactly maybe it's me maybe not i don't know i hope this helps [Music] unless you want to hit the lights on your way out have you got a minute for me uh sure what's up i have been very loyal and hardworking since i came here is that right alice i i don't think it's the best time to talk about a raise i don't want to raise i want a little respect excuse me mr broderick that woman has been here six months and already makes more money than i do than any of us do she has an office the size of well you know what she has i don't think you can treat people this way hold on a second first of all linda's doing entirely different things from what you do i know she can't type she's a legal assistant not a secretary she doesn't have to type and as far as the office goes she needs the privacy because she spends a good deal of time on the phone to clients on my behalf so that i can spend time finding new clients so that we can all prosper does that make sense of course good luck to both of you are you quitting you really ought to think about how you treat people mr broderick all people that is not just the ones you think are special this is great mom how'd you ever know to find one of these katie your mom's not as old as you think i guess not merry christmas your father's as old as you think [Music] hot stuff dad i'll say thank you [Music] i know it's not the exact one you said you liked but i don't know i i thought this would be more of a surprise and uh you know uh actually kind of like this one better [Music] you liked it better well i mean you mean you liked it better and that's what counts really i mean that's what it's all about you make it you spend it on what you want oh geez pets it's not like it cost any less exactly so why not get me what i want you certainly got what you want even though you had to spend an extra seven grand to get it when you wanted it could you guys just cool it it's christmas your mom wants to behave like a spoiled brat let's let her what kind of person gets his wife a christmas present she doesn't even want it's a beautiful ring but it's not what i asked for so that makes it a piece of crap [Music] so okay thank you hi well i haven't been here and i don't know how long we should do this more often dan pets i thought this would be a good place for us to have this this this meeting i know this was a meeting i thought this was have some things i think we should discuss we sleep in the same bed we use the same bathroom i need to get all dressed up and come down here just to discuss something do you stand there romantic um how charming i didn't want to have this talk at home this way we can't throw things at each other and why pray tell will we do that that's it's no secret that things haven't been going so well for us of late in some ways maybe they never have it's just gotten to the point where it's not healthy for us or for the kids if we're living in the same house so so i'm i'm gonna move out for a while for a while just until i don't really know for how long until you feel better about the marriage until you've gotten over this turning 40 crap wait till you've made it with your secretary so many times you've gotten out of your system that's correct that's great it's impossible to have a normal conversation with you you call normal busting up a 16-year marriage over over lunch i gave you my life i i gave you your life you would still be cleaning up vomit on the emergency room floor if it weren't for me if if i hadn't raised our children held down five jobs and and provided a home for you do you think you could have done this by yourself i really don't know maybe not it's not working now bets you know that you criticize whatever i do or say you're clearly not happy why would you want me to stay because you owe me i'm moving back to the coral reef house i can work around me meantime meantime you can finish this meeting by yourself since you are the one and only person on this [Music] all earth it's okay i got it [Music] hey what are you doing here my mom dropped me off about an hour little an hour is that supposed to meet you here or something [Music] nope she i've been up in san francisco to trial all day i almost didn't come back tonight how did she know i'd be here [Music] [Music] see i have this little two-step plan first i've been dropping the kids off at his house one by one to live with him you're kidding well let mr businessman see what it means to actually raise a family not just have his wife do it and secondly a new house with an ocean view voila oh great dad may be momentarily attracted to this little girl but ultimately what turns him on is status you know best of dress best clothes best parties i'm the only one who can make that happen for him make him special respectable he'll come back okay i'll fax everything to you first thing monday morning and meanwhile if you have any questions at all let's get in touch with linda she's researched everything pretty thoroughly thanks thank you bye bye okay 5 30. i just have time to grab a bite to eat and get back to

listened really around 40 is when you reap the benefits of your 20s and 30s it's supposed to be the best time when you're young enough to still have fun and enjoy the money it's what i've been living

umbrella to impale him mrs broderick betty everyone calls me betty except him he calls me bets that's cute isn't it if we're going to try and get you an equitable settlement i'd suggest you consider more appropriate behavior in the future meaning meaning no more umbrellas through the window there is now a restraining order preventing you from going within 100 yards of the house a restraining order is a very serious thing yeah i know but so are four kids in 16 years together don't preach to me i'm just saying that you need to do all you can to try to help balance the situation all i want to know is if we can nail this guy in court mrs broderick betty you don't catch on real quickly do you we'll do the best we can so that's it i beg your pardon we just don't sound really excited dan broderick is a shark he is the best you're not excited we're dead i know his reputation very well you're just running scared already you know what i have a feeling i am not the best choice of an attorney for you you know what i think you're right thank you for your time mrs bro betty you're not the first woman whose husband ever left her and you won't be the last i'd advise you to try and

love you all so much [Music] we were in and out of courts forever as i fought for my rights without due respect your honor mrs broderick has consistently violated any number of restraining orders and clearly cannot be trusted for god's sakes even child molesters get visitation rights what is this mother russia mrs broderick would you mind please i'm trying to help you're not trying right the worst thing is the way he forcibly separated my children from me sometimes with the help of so-called experts that in fact he'd hired well with all that's gone on these children need to remain in a stable environment and in my opinion mrs broderick does not provide any type of stable environment thank you dr miller i was forced into a legal system that dan broderick controlled everything was backwards especially the money here was a man who was literally spending a fortune on himself now that he'd made it well i was expected to exist and when he threw my way ultimately dan got the final divorce decree on a day that i wasn't even present i got no custody no visitation rights are you certain mrs broderick was served yes sir she has been personally in as much as she has no attorney of record at this time okay folks end of the line the dissolution is granted mr broderick consider yourself divorced [Music] marge finally it's betty yeah i'm working at the la jolla cove galleries oh yes betty i

it's me grant hi grant hi sweetheart how's my baby boy are they treating you all right yeah mom but cause if they're not you can come live with me wouldn't that be fun yeah mom but you've got to stop

married to you [Music] you don't have to you know you don't have to give me an answer right away you can just take your time take your time to really take two three minutes [Music] [Music] said yes [Music] [Music] i want you all to understand what this engagement business really means it means you're losing your father little by little he'll pull away from you and soon since his new wife is so young she's gonna want children of her own and that's the point at which he's gonna completely turn away from you maybe even to save you it's all right grant honey all of you will have a mother who loves you a mother who may be completely alone in this world but will never abandon you the way your father is i will always love you [Music] especially since your father has stopped do we have to call our mom no hey your mom is always going to be your mom i mean i know things have been pretty horrible between us yeah that's the understatement of the year look i wish i could fix everything that's happened but i can't just hope you all know i love you and linda loves you and i want you to know that our being married isn't going to take away from my relationship with you at all in fact might even add a little stability to things and maybe your mom will [Music] accept the fact that things are finally over between us and maybe she'll come back to earth i wouldn't count on it you know how to shoot one of these that's okay i can recommend a good course an ex-police officer teaches it so for a single woman like yourself i think this is probably your best protection that's extremely

you know the law better than most people you have no proof that it was betty come on dan who else i know but you can't prove it besides which i don't need her announcing to the press that i'm throwing her in jail again it's a small town and i i can't afford all this insane publicity okay fine but i still want my wedding list back mrs broderick the court demands that you return the guest list your honor i i took the list thinking it was um something else of mine and i i would gladly have brought it back in fact i would have brought it with me here today once i realized but um i can't find it uh-huh well until you do i'm releasing mr broderick from his obligation to make alimony payments what perhaps that might refresh your memory thank you all very much for coming would the clerk call the next case please it's not going to make a return [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] unbelievable [Music] take it back dan it's her autobiography it's a 90-page hate letter to you it's it's evidence of what that she's flipped out as if driving her car through your living room wasn't enough it's proof unfortunately it's also proof that you broke into her house the door was open were you invited the woman put a beach umbrella through your porch window she destroyed your furniture and your crystal look one person breaking the law in this thing is enough you got to take it back linda if

drinks even if you're not thirsty okay you guys are looking good out there hey tommy get some water here [Music] you sure you want to do this no i'm not sure honey the woman's unstable how can you give her any kind of visitation rights she keeps insisting that one of the things that makes her crazy is not having a regular relationship with a kid so maybe if there was a court-approved visitation schedule she'd leave us alone it's what she wants she's a liar dan she's dangerous not to the kids she'd never hurt them no she was a doting mother she did everything she sacrificed everything for them no matter what she's done to them they love her besides which they see how happy you and i are and they see how miserable she is and they want to make her feel better she's their mom how could i keep them from doing that i'll put in a stipulation that if she goes awry in any way that's the end of it for good what is it dan will grant me custody of the kids on a temporary basis provided i behave otherwise i lose them well it i hope he gets terminally ill look at this did you see all this do you know how long i have fought the one man legal giant he has all the cards susan i i find him
