Playing For Keeps - Full Movie

be in court tomorrow, they're not going to bring something up, maybe they already have, how are you? How are you? You so appreciate everything you've done. Sorry, hello. Okay, where you're headed is probably better. I'm not telling you this is your life honey, it's not a runaway episode, okay, if I were old I'd understand that reference, oh, you're making jokes, now you gotta get one last pair in there, Cole, don't do this, you know , it scares me, I mean, apart from everything. maybe the rivers are right maybe I'm not the best mother for him Nicky, I make mistakes all the time and I worry if I'll hurt him because of who I am what I'm not, but you know whatever, I love him and I want to have him with me and I'm so selfish that I don't care if I'm the best mother to him or not.

Oh, with the human cannonball your old grandfather almost didn't come. I have to watch you. you've grown up Nicky little man here has had a lot to do with it now is not the time to throw in the towel now is the time to fight do you really think I deserve to be his mom I don't see anyone better Wow Congratulations dad, now you're in the minority, come on to a shared custody agreement of two weekly visits on a temporary basis mr. Markuson, he must decide on a course of action. We are exploring options now, ma'am, let me clarify this.

Now Noah will fly to Arizona every two weeks. That's right, we'll make a proposal in a month, Mr. Markuson, this case has been going on for quite some time. The appeals court made the wrong decision and it will be overturned. Yeah, well, let me know who's going to do that. We can tie them up with paperwork for a while, but it's a game the Corporation won't support. Long, Peter can't be here, I don't know who Gibson is, right, there's no one who can overturn this, the Supreme Court, so let's go to the atom, hey, you're cute, no, no, we won't, we won't Give up now, Peter. the Supreme Court almost never hears custody cases, but is not very interested in the provincial court saying a precedent, which is what happened here in the race issue, could give us some leverage.

English, please look, the provincial court didn't just give custody to Ty I. I mean they set a precedent for all custody decisions, so now another case can come out and say my daughter is more like me than her mother, so you should give her to me. Do you mean that now we are appealing the racial issue in a more contrary way than in this case. I just read about where the Supreme Court ruled against a white couple who had adopted some Native children. This is not the case, but it is similar. The court put those children with some distant relatives because they share the same ethnicity, it is completely different, you are the biological mother, those children were dragged away from their parents, kicking and screaming, the court is not going to turn around to make a statement about race, but they've done it before, so this is our only chance.

Okay, so whatever you need me to do for research, writing letters, whatever, you're sure this is the remotest of possibilities, just tell me where to start. He needs to sleep, don't tell me what he needs. He developed an ear infection after the flight. It's not the first time and we're to blame, so you were the one who had to take my son for me, so yeah, you seem like a good candidate. Did you ever think we could offer him war? Have you ever thought about how you have to explain to him that you took him away from his mother?

Her eardrum burst. The pain was quite bad, so the doctor put in a shunt to relieve the pressure. What's up with his hearing? Apparently, at this age, his eardrum repairs itself. but he won't be able to fly for 3 or 4 weeks, thank god for buses and trains, where is his father? He had to leave earlier than expected to Italy and assigned the team there, so Noah will visit you and his sisters, they love him very much. I'm sorry this isn't easy, look Emily, I'm so sorry. We are here now and we are connected, whether we like it or not, because of something I did.

I'm sorry for any pain I owe. I've caused you, you didn't do it alone, he's a good father, I know that, but that doesn't mean I'll sit back and let Noah go, we're just doing what we think is right, so why mmm baby, I am right? here, hello, honey, you know I'm going to New York, I'm not going anywhere, I missed you so much, hey driver, the Supremes, let's go through the Valley, we'll be the Supreme Court, honey, hello, welcome to Ottawa, I'm Marcia Barclay. I am the filing agent for it, the Supreme Court is my jurisdiction and I must tell you this has been a blast so far, you wouldn't believe the encouragement that the final orders were filed yesterday.

I saw mr. Rivers' agent filed while I was there, they have three interveners coming in now, those are the people testifying on his behalf, there's the African Canadian Legal Council, the Black Social Workers Association and the Jamaican Canadian Association. . Many of us on this case, the courtroom is going to be

custody back what do you say to Noah when someone uses racist language towards them?

How do you prepare him for a world like that? you know it's not just the color of his skin and that's what I want to teach him, show him where your experience is, I don't mean direct experience of racism, being able to talk to Noah, the world will see a child that looks black and that's right. how they will treat him, Heaney Phlearn, who we are and where he is from, who better to teach him that than me, no. comment at this time we will have a statement after the process thank you those are your secretaries your partners and those are the lawyers of the interpreters who will present first it is very impressive it is scary don't worry it is a great show everyone stands up six seven eight nine precedents but to hell with it As much as we would like to believe that we are beyond race that we are no longer influenced by race it is simply not true we cannot legislate tolerance we cannot legislate racial harmony so we must fiercely consider considering how best to serve a child whose very existence will be defined by the color of his skin.

Albert is a mixed-race child, but he is also a child who looks more like his black father. His white mother, no matter how loving she is, cannot foster in him the necessary sense of belonging. feeling of pride in his culture in the same way as mr. Rivers and his wife may have experienced racism firsthand and will be able to help Noah when he does because the court must consider the child's best interests first in custody decisions. In this case, Al Burns' best interests are not served. When considering who fosters that sense of belonging, that sense of well-being that every child needs, the rivers are a family, they raised two daughters together, they withstood marital storms and came out stronger, they are well-off and upright citizens who also dedicate much of their time to charitable works. , which makes them eminently suitable to parent Noah beyond this.

However, they can offer something else that Miss Alper simply cannot. A sense of racial pride and community. They can help Noah navigate the world as a young black man. The man and MS Alper will never be able to help him do that on this first day of the trial. He was looking at me. I've already seen it six times. The black child belongs to black parents. blah blah blah, he's biracial, his father is black, his mother is white. It seemed like I don't know, you told me, Evan, do you think he has my dad's eyes? Thanks kid, exactly vodka, soda, well, vodka would be your drink, do you know how many cases the Supreme Court hears every year 85 90 cases a year Of the 60,000 lawyers in Canada that I'm here, I'm the one good Gibson, you made some good ones points, he made some really good points when I met Ty.

I was interested in him because of what he did, because he was a famous sports fan. correct mentality if he cannot be a star sleeping with a time-honored tradition, he was very clear about what he wanted, I mean, he had worked his whole life for this dream and he was so focused and competitive. I love that about him. When I got pregnant I told him that maybe this baby was my dream in the same way that basketball was his, hey Betty, like that, yeah, I love that an accidental pregnancy could be something similar to what he had achieved in his life , so who could blame him and then it turns out?

Get it out of your head because I have never worked harder in my life and for the right to know his mother. I was the first person who showed me that you have to fight for your dreams, yes, wait a second, Nicole, yes, you are a SAP, it sounds like that. You have a great plan for the day, no bear, I wish I could be there too, I really do well, honey, mom has something to do here, something really important, I'll tell you everything someday, it's okay, well, sometimes Moms and dads have to go. Baby, sometimes for a lot longer than they want, but even when I'm not with you I love you as much as I can, so I'll never change, it's okay, it's okay, I miss you, don't call tonight, it's okay, it's okay, hello in the best interests of the child, that is how we determine where the child belongs.

In the first case, we established that Nicole Alpern is an excellent mother and the court found that she was a better mother than mr. Rivers, but an appeals court decided that racial identity should be an important factor in assigning custody of children. He wanted to make a political point and added Beverly Rivers to the appeal. Are you suggesting that there should be no consideration of racial identity? Not at all, but giving an advantage. to a father who looks the same ignores the reality that Noah is a mixed race child, he is half white half black and to suggest that only white people would respond negatively is a fantasy, the black community has a long list of names they give. mixed-race children in the same way that the white community does.

What would the court like to hear from you? Perhaps you could provide us with a list. Well, I meant later, mr. Markuson, right, right, the trial court took into consideration Noah's mixed-race heritage, but found that miss out burn was the better parent. The appeals court did not take into consideration his mixed race, but instead said what you see is what you get, which is a kind of racism in itself Noah will face racism in his life, we all know that, but thanks to his mother You will know that you are loved and appreciated just as you are, there is no greater defense against difficulties than that of your last visit when you went to not very the farm, that is the one who seemed to be having the best time.

He fell asleep about 20 minutes ago. How are you doing well to be at home? What does Peters say? He looked at his own horn, but he put on. I hope it is. out of our hands now we will not hear for months what the experts say well, let the decision be important that I can make a debt that the rivers seem more responsible parents and more capable of maintaining no, I suppose it's true, someone else is watching Looking at them looking at me eh, it's strange. I finally figured out your life and then you're no longer in charge of it.

I am very proud because we are gold diggers. Hey, ambulance chaser. I received a fax from Ottawa. You did it, thank you. For me, you don't have to change things if you don't want to. I've been thinking about this a lot and while we've been fighting and figuring things out, no one has had a completely different experience. He came to know it. His father, you, his sisters and I know that the court granted me sole custody, but if you agree, things don't have to change completely because with all of us in his life he can do anything, don't you think? , Yes Yes.

I make you
