| Plot: | Sam Dawson has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. He works at a Starbucks and is obsessed with the Beatles. He has a daughter with a homeless woman; she abandons them as soon as they leave the hospital. He names his daughter Lucy Diamond (after the Beatles song), and raises her. But as she reaches age 7 herself, Sam's limitations start to become a problem at school; she's intentionally holding back to avoid looking smarter than him. The authorities take her away, and Sam shames high-priced lawyer Rita Harrison into taking his case pro bono. In the process, he teaches her a great deal about love, and whether it's really all you need. |

Continuity: In the very beginning shot, when Sam is sorting sugar packets in the holders, he puts the brown "raw sugar" packets in front. When he is shown setting the holders on the tables, the brown packets are in the middle. Fact errors: Credits list "starbucks barrister" instead of "barista". Continuity: In the first courtroom scene, the judge asks to see Sam back in court on January 5th, supposedly a month after that day. However, the board of cases for the day says the date is August 20th. Continuity: When Sam and Lucy are being observed and they are talking, just before Lucy talks to the people observing her she turns her head towards the "camera". The next shot, she turns her head again before talking. CHAR: When Annie is teaching Sam when to feed Lucy and they are talking about what "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is about, Annie says "But John Lennon said, it was about a friend of his son Julian Lennon's from school - Lucy O'Connell". The real girl's name was "Lucy O'Donnell". |
Quotes

Lucy: All you need is love. Rita: Sam, I can go at least another nine rounds, but you got to let me in. Lucy: [being observed] I want no other daddy but you. [turns to the glass] Lucy: [shouts] Did you hear that? I said I didn't want any other daddy but him. Why don't you write that down? Rita: It's like every morning I wake up and I FAIL! Rita: Home. Phone Voice: Dialing office. Rita: HOME! Phone Voice: Dialing office. Rita: HOME, GODDAMN IT! Phone Voice: Dialing Dr. Sloan. Sam: YOU'RE MY LAWYER! Rita: That's right. Sam: OKAY! Sam: You think what they think. Rita: It doesn't matter what I think. It matters that we win. Sam: No, you think what they think. You think Sam can't take care of Lucy! Rita: Sam, it doesn't matter what I think! Sam: It matters to me! Sam: You're going a little faster than everybody else. I was wondering if you noticed that. [Sam buys a "preowned" answering machine] Ifty: Yeah. It's an outgoing message so I think you need to sound a little more outgoing. Lucy: Daddy, did God made for you to be like this or was it an accident? Sam: Ok, what do you mean? Lucy: I mean you're different. Sam: But what do you mean? Lucy: You're not like other daddies. Sam: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry. Lucy: It's ok, daddy. It's ok. Don't be sorry. I'm lucky. Nobody else's daddy ever comes to the park. Sam: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, we are lucky. Aren't we lucky? Yeah! [in Rita's car] Rita: On the Porsche the door handle is a little hidden by that thingamajig, so if you're having trouble finding it... Annie: NO! Sam: Ok, I think maybe Annie's not exactly ready to go yet. Rita: Can you grasp the concept of manipulating the truth... not lying, just a little tweak here and there? Sam: [thinks for a few seconds] No. Sam: Yeah, but I tried, I tried hard. Rita: Try harder! Sam: Yeah, but you don't know, you don't know! Rita: I don't know WHAT? Sam: Yeah, you don't know what is like when you try, and you try, and you try, and you try, and you don't ever get there! Because you were born perfect and I was born like this, and you're perfect! Rita: Oh, is that right? Sam: People like you don't know... Rita: People like me? Sam: People like you don't know what is like to get hurted. Because you don't have feelings. People like you don't feel anything! Rita: [pounding her hands] Sam, you gotta be firm on this. Sam: You've grown. Lucy: Have I? Sam: Yeah, 'cause your ears are bigger and your eyes are older. Rita: Sam, I worry. I worry sometimes. Sam: Yeah... do you worry that you did something wrong? Rita: No. I worry that I've gotten more out of this relationship than you. Rita: It's just... I've never lost at anything. Rita: Where is your father? Willy Harrison: Where do you think? Rita: Now, Ms. Cossell, in all the time that you've known them, have you ever questioned Sam's ability as a father? Annie: Never. Rita: Never? Annie: Never. Look at Lucy. She's strong. She displays true empathy for people, all kinds of people. I know that you all think she's as smart as she is despite him, but it's because of him. Rita: So what you're saying is you don't worry about Lucy's future? Annie: No, I do. Rita: Ah... Annie: I worry all the time. I worry if they take Lucy away from her father they will take away an enormous piece of her, and I worry that she will spend the rest of her life trying to fill that hole. Lucy: I won't read the word! Sam: I'm your father and I'm telling you to read the word. Cause I can tell you to because I'm your father. Lucy: I'm stupid. Sam: You are not stupid! Lucy: Yes, I am. Sam: No, you are not stupid 'cause you can read that word. Lucy: I don't wanna read it if you can't. Sam: No, because it makes me happy! It makes me happy hearing you read. Yeah, it makes me happy when you're reading. Lucy: [Lucy reads again] Conner Rhodes: Are you a retard too? Lucy: No! Conner Rhodes: How do you know? Lucy: Because he told me. Conner Rhodes: But he's a retard! Lucy: It takes one to know one. [making fun of Lucy's dad] Conner Rhodes: Sorry, Mr. Egg. Joe: Do we get a balloon with these? Shoe Salesman: ...Yeah Robert: All of us or just her? Conner Rhodes: Why does your father act like a retard? Lucy: He is. Lucy: Why are men bald? Sam: Sometimes they're bald because their head is shiny and they don't have hair on it. So their head is just more of their face. Brad: I think you should sound like, a normal person... from the heart! From... the... heart! Ifty: From the heart Sam: This argh okay hello thank you for calling this is Saaaaaaaam Ifty: Wow! Brad: I feel that was a very thouching moment right there. Ifty: I, I, I, I felt that one Sam: High five! All: High five! Sam: OK, remember when Paul McCartney wrote the song "Michelle" and then he only wrote the first part, Annie said. And then he gave that part to John Lennon, and he wrote the part that said, "I love you, I love you, I love you." And Annie said that it wouldn't have been the same song without that... and that's why the whole world cried when the Beatles broke up on April 10, 1970. Sam: Lucy doesn't need me anymore. She has a new family now... and she doesn't need me anymore. Rita: Is that what she said? Sam: It's because I know that. Because I just know that. Rita: Well. That's the first stupid thing I've ever heard you say. Rita: You answer in one sentence. Ifty: I answer in one sentence. Short and sweet. Tim Curry was a "Sweet Tranvestite" in the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' Rita: You better make that one word. Ifty: I saw that on Channel 5 news... With the reporter with the toupee and Mr. Turner lost his toupee! Mr. Turner: [Narrows his eyes angrily] Thank you, Mr. Wali. Rita: You think you've got the market cornered on human suffering? Let me tell you something about people like me. People like me feel lost, and little, and ugly, and dispensable. People like me have husbands, screwing other people far more perfect than me. People like me have sons who hate them. And I've screamed, I've screamed horrible things at him, at a 7 year old because he doesn't want to get in the car at the end of the day! And then he looks at me with such anger and I hate him then! I know I'm failing you! I know I'm disappointing you! I know you deserve better but get in the fucking car! It's like every morning I wake up and, I fail. And I look around and everybody seems to be pulling it off, but I-I-I can't! No matter how hard I try. Somehow, I'll never be enough. |
