with her child, Your Honor.
Spit it out, Marcia Clark.
Hi. Uh, my name is Amanda Klein.
Um, I'm a single bartender with no children.
I left the comfort of a Manhattan loft
to live with this woman and her son
and a possum named Rat Cat, who is a terrible listener
and not much of a cuddle bug.
So...
However...
I wouldn't trade a single rickety slat in our floor
to step foot on the marble tile that I used to,
because living with her has taught me
what unconditional love means,
whether it's towards strangers... me...
Her friends... them... Or her son,
who is the happiest, sweetest little boy
I've ever met.
Yes, his name is Lil Boy.
We know what the world thinks of us rennies.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
That we're weirdos.
Freaks.
That we're all running from the past
while trying to escape the present
that we see in the mirror.
And maybe that's true.
And if so, isn't it better to face that
with a community of people who care,
who would give you the shirt off their back,
especially if it's a size too small?

Delilah Quaid is not a great person.
She's an exceptional one.
And in six weeks, she's shown me more humanity
than people I've known my whole life.
♪♪
Thank you.
All right, it's been a long day, so I'll make this brief,
unlike you, Ms. Klein. You talked so long,
I saw my afterlife flash before my eyes.
However,
I was overwhelmed by the content of your testimony.
You showed me a rich tapestry of people
who add value to your life
and to your child's life, as well.
Unfortunately, children need stable,
comfortable environments where they can thrive.
On the other hand, you can't just walk into a kid's life
and expect a relationship out of the blue.
Therefore, I am awarding sole legal custody
to Delilah Quaid...
- Ahh! - Yes!
... with joint physical custody
to be shared with Art and Alma Quaid,
the schedule to be determined by a mediator at a later date.
Good luck and get out.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Why?! [SOBBING]
Delilah, you won.
- I did? - [LAUGHING] Yes!
You just have to sort out a few visitations here and there.
♪♪
Thank you for having my back.
It was better than me murdering them.
Like Delilah said, you deserve a second chance.
And for the record,
I wanted to kill all those people, too.
I have a knife in my backpack.
I'm glad you're working on yourself, dear.
Ahh! We won! [LAUGHING]
For hopefully most weekends out of the year!
- I'm confused. - So is she, honey.
[CRYING]
I can't believe that happened.
Neither can I. We owe that judge a wedge salad.
Thank you.
Thank you. I got to see your face
and understand why you stayed at the faire.
You got these people in exchange for us assholes.
I would have done the same thing.
- Brett, it's okay, I... - No.
What I did is not okay.
And for the rest of my life, I'll live with that.
You don't have to anymore.
I-If you ever do come back...
for a weekend, for good...
I'm there. Always.
Yeah, Lil Boy's my best friend now.
Can't believe Small Balls pulled it off.
- Who? - Small Balls.
You know, Amanda's ex. I mean, how else could Delilah get him?
♪♪
[SIGHS]
We did it!
[WOMEN SHRIEK, LAUGH]
- Love your aunties. - Okay.
I've never appreciated your foyer.
Trespasser.
Where were you?
Uh, funeral.
Uncle Myron.
My condolences. How was it?
Beautiful.
I sang "Ave Maria."
Aunt Candy wept.
Okay, I'm lying.
It's not your forte.
I went to the city.
Auditioned for a musical.
Save your gasp.
I didn't get it.
Oh.
Screw them.
No.
It is what it is.
It's why we're here.
- Where? - The faire.
You think you'd be here if you had gotten that role
on "Law and Order, SUV"?
I was an exquisite murder victim.
I blame Mariska Hargitay. [GRUNTS]
Well, whatever the reason, you didn't book it.
And you didn't forge a stage career in London.
You came here.
So did I.
You could go out there again, Maggie.
No.
I don't have the heart for the rejection.
Maybe in my earlier days, but...
I'll be okay.
I'd rather be the big fish in a small pond
than a small fish in the Arctic Sea.
It's rising, you know.
Climate change is terrible.
Oh, awful.
[SIGHS]
I'm glad you're back.
What did I miss?
A lot.
First of all, Amanda's ex is cute,
in a shirtless selfie sort of way.
That makes sense.
Did she claw his eyes out?
- They hugged. - Oh, God.
Give me something better.
Mm, Delilah's parents are tacky hicks,
Helen is sort of a person now...
and David broke up with Callie.
Oh, I didn't realize they were together.
Yeah. Actually, neither did I.
- Mm. - Huh.
- Ha-ha! - Mm.
Jinx. Buy me a Coke.
Did you know you could pay your cabbie
- with a credit card? - What?
- Yes. - You have a credit card?
I have two of them. You just swipe it down the back.
