y understand your doubt. I just think we had a one-night stand... JUDGE LAKE: And you had sex with her once? Once. And that was what made you doubt? Exactly. Alright. I have heard enough. I see what's going on here. I see what's going on here. JIMMI: Can I say something?

What would you like to say, Jimmie? So all I asked was, you know, let's get this out of the way as a chapter. Bam, that's gone. Know? We get to... And then maybe you can start over? On new terms. Yeah, new terms, but, at the same time, whether I am or not, I'll still be good. You know, I'm still going to be happy. I will continue to be happy. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDES) Well, I think I've heard enough testimony on this case, and uh... I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the results. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDES) Thank you.

You are welcome. These results were prepared by DNA diagnostics and are as follows. In the case of Smith v. Brooks, when it comes to 24-year-old Jimmie Smith, this

court

has determined... Exactly. JUDGE LAKE: This

court

has determined, Mr. Brooks, that you are the

father

. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) I told you. I told you. I told you. I was a virgin you are the

father

And the only thing I lied about was my age. Well, that's not important, I came here to find out the results. All the other lies, she can build all that kind of nonsense in her own head.

ANTONY: I'm fine. I was going to... How does it feel to know for sure now that this intelligent young man, who has spoken so eloquently in this courtroom about what his absence has meant in his life? That was all his mother's fault. How dare you suggest that you are not at fault in this? This man, the only memory he has of you is that you ran away from him. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) If he's not going to say anything constructive, and he's not going to tell the truth, just don't say anything. Your Honor, I've been through a lot in life, and my mom always took care of me and made sure he was straight.

I'm fine. This is what I want to ask you, brother. This is the thing. I am your father. I didn't just appreciate going along with lies like that. And we could put that behind us, with all the lies. I don't care about lies anymore. You are my son, okay? Do you get that? You are not offering the olive branch that this young man deserves. You're talking about the past and we're all trying to figure out how to go to the future. Do you want to have a relationship with your son? We are going to have one.

JUDGE LAKE: No, no. Want one? Yes, I want one. There you go. Okay, hold on. He is my son. He is my son. JUDGE LAKE: That's all. That's how it is. What I want him to do is move past negativity and dysfunction, Mr. Brooks, and I want him to open up enough to give his son the love that I know he wants to give her. You should be proud of what your son stood up here and said today. Focus on the future, okay? Yes ma'am. JUDGE LAKE: Very good. I wish you the best of luck. The trial is suspended.
