"Happy birthday to you." "Happy birthday to you." "Here's to you from all of us..." "Happy birthday to you." "—Can I blow?" "—Of course, darling." "Careful; you've got a stain." "Happy birthday, my love." "Jaime..." "Jaime, we were thinking... with the wife you've got, you hardly need any presents..." "So, uh, we didn't bring any." "That's not true." "I've got one!" "What's that, honey?" "I wrote this for Daddy." "Really?" "Well, go ahead and read it." "If we may have your silence, everyone, Lucia is going to read something." "If I may?" ""My daddy is the greatest daddy in the world."" "Elephants On A Spiderweb" ""My daddy is the greatest daddy in the world because he always has time to play with me."" ""On the weekends, Mommy, Daddy, and me play Twister, Charades, or Hide  Seek."" "...eleven, twelve thirteen, fourteen and fifteen." ""I always hide with him because he knows how to hide very well."" ""I don't know how he does it, but he never gets caught."" "Wow, it's hot enough to suffocate you in here." "Talk to your daughter; she refuses to get out of the tub." "Sit up, baby." "Let me comb your hair." "—Hey, Mommy, look at my hands!" "—Honey, please, you'll get water all over everything!" "See?" "Check out my hands, Dad!" "You've got the hands of an old crone." "And your hands are going to be like that forever unless you quit fidgeting and let me finish." ""Sometimes, when Mommy isn't home, Daddy lets me stay in the bath as long as I want,"" ""and he scrubs my body all clean so he can have the prettiest daughter in the world."" ""But I don't just want to be pretty." "When I grow up, I want to be smart too."" ""Smart like Daddy, because he knows lots of stuff."" "Come on, Lucia." "We have to go." "Just a little longer..." "Please!" "I said now, Lucia." "We're parked a long way out." "Come on, honey." "You'll wear yourself out." "All right, but can I have a drink of water?" "I'll get you some water." "—Are you all right, darling?" "—I ran over a pebble." "—Are you all right?" "—Yeah." "Right." "Come on, I'll help you up." ""He knows the kind of stuff doctors know, so if I hurt myself, he knows how to take care of me."" "Does it hurt here?" "No." "Here?" "No." "And here?" "What happened?" "Nothing too bad." "She took a spill." ""Daddy always takes care of me, and with him, I feel safe because I know nothing too bad is going to happen."" ""At school, all my friends are girls." "The boys are stupid and all they want to do is play soccer,"" ""but that doesn't matter to me, because Daddy is like my best friend."" "Hello, Lucia." "Hello." "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" "I'm waiting for Mommy to tell me good night." "Mommy's going to be back late tonight." "What game are you playing?" "The Family." "Would you like to play a different game with me?" "Like what?" "A really fun game but you can't tell anyone about it, not even Mommy, all right?" "Why not?" "Because if you tell anyone, we can't play it again." "If you tell, I'll get really, really angry and we won't be friends anymore." "You swear you won't tell anyone?" "I swear." "Well, then..." ""He's my best friend because secretly, I tell him things and he tells me things."" ""Then we never say anything about them because friends always keep secrets."" ""Because he does all that for me, and because he's my daddy, I draw pictures for him."" "Hello." "I'm home." "How's it going?" "Just fine." "I'm drawing a picture for Daddy." "That's nice, honey." "—Hello." "—Hello." "What's cooking?" "Pasta." "Lucia wanted to have some; isn't that right, darling?" "Yeah." "—Will it take very long?" "—No." "—Mommy, is this how "greatest" is spelled?" "—Let me see." "Could you pass me the mixer?" "You could at least say thanks, couldn't you?" "Thanks." "Jaime, why do you act like that?" "Like what?" "Like I'm always in your way." "Daddy, you want to see my drawing?" "I finished it." "Not now, Lucia." "I'm busy." "You're ignoring me too?" "Look, Dad:" "I'm done." "I told you, kid, I'm busy." "Here, kiddo, help me with this." "What, is Lucia the only one here at home?" "Aw, crap!" "I'm sorry, sweetie." ""Daddy says my drawings are very pretty, and he hangs them up at his office so he can look at them every day."" ""He thinks of me all the time because he loves me more than anyone else and would never want anything bad to happen to me."" ""That's why he's the best daddy in the world.""
