Quotes 

• Dr. Sam Beckett : This custody battle. It's crazy. You know... I mean...

  Maggie Spontini : I know.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : We can work these things out by ourselves, right? I mean... as soon as I get the magic shop, everything...

  Maggie Spontini : Oh, the magic shop? Then you're gonna' settle down and you're gonna' buy a real home? Right Harry? I heard that before. I heard it for eight years and I'm not gonna hear it again.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : So, you walked away?

  Maggie Spontini : Do you think that I wanted to leave my baby? God, I didn't have a choice, Harry. I couldn't sit around waiting for all your fantasies to come true. So, I left her. And I went out there and I made it happen, Harry. And now I can give her all the things that we always wanted to give her. Nice clothes. Good schools.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Why don't we give her these things together?

  Steve Slater : [to Maggie]  You let him inside the house?

  Dr. Sam Beckett : [surprised at Steve's sudden appearance]  Well, not that it's any of your business but I was talking to Maggie who is still my wife about Jamie who will always be my daughter.

  Maggie Spontini : He was just leaving, Steve.

  Steve Slater : Good, because talking to you without your lawyer present could jeopardise his case. Just a little free legal advice.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : I don't want your advice. I want my family.

  Steve Slater : Well, frankly Mr Spontini, other than a few signatures your family doesn't exist.

  Maggie Spontini : Harry, just leave.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Why don't you ask him to leave?

  Steve Slater : Keep it up. I can pretty much guarantee you no visitation rights.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : You can't keep me from my daughter.

  Steve Slater : Don't count on it. I always win.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : That's what this is about for you, isn't it? Winning? You don't care about Maggie. I know you don't care about Jamie...

  [Steve looks like he's about to take Sam's head off] 

  Dr. Sam Beckett : [Steve moves to take Sam on]  What?

  Maggie Spontini : [Sam easily throws Steve to the floor]  Stop!

  Jamie Spontini : [to Steve]  Smooth move, ex-Lax.

  Maggie Spontini : Look, maybe you should both leave.

  Steve Slater : Come on, Maggie.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : I think that's probably a good idea.

  [to Jamie] 

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Come here. I'll see you tomorrow sweetheart. OK.

  [kisses Maggie and then shoots Steve a dirty look who shoots Sam an equally dirty one] 

• Steve Slater : Nice to meet you, Harry. Caught the end of your act. Really enjoyed it.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Oh, well, tha-, uh, thanks.

  Maggie Spontini : Yeah, you're really great with all that illusion stuff. You're good!

  Jamie Spontini : [to Maggie]  Could never top your disappearing act.
