The most obvious mistake you're making... 1030 01:07:57,736 --> 01:08:00,261 is in underestimating your own daughter. 1031 01:08:00,339 --> 01:08:02,807 She'll fight you and your whole attitude... 1032 01:08:02,874 --> 01:08:05,741 and everything you do and every argument you ever try to give her. 1033 01:08:06,511 --> 01:08:08,536 And one thing more. 1034 01:08:08,613 --> 01:08:13,277 Until today, I would never have believed that I could say such a thing... 1035 01:08:13,352 --> 01:08:15,479 but when she fights you... 1036 01:08:15,554 --> 01:08:17,488 and for what it may be worth... 1037 01:08:17,556 --> 01:08:19,490 I'm going to be on her side. 1038 01:08:24,496 --> 01:08:27,761 I never believed I'd hear you say a thing like that. 1039 01:08:32,237 --> 01:08:35,695 - Can I get you another drink? - No, thanks.
