Mr. Dawson,
it's becoming clear...
that she's holding herself
back in the classroom.
It's as if she's literally
afraid to learn.
No one doubts
that you love your daughter.
But the Department of Child and
Family Services contacted us.
They shared with us
that your records show...
that your intellectual capacity...
is around that of a 7-year-old.
Our concern is what happens
when Lucy turns 8.
Do you understand what Ms.
Wright is trying to tell you about Lucy?
John wanted to try new things.
And it wasn't Yoko's fault.
No, it wasn't Yoko's fault.
And Annie says you can... you can hear it
on The White Album.
Because John wanted
to try new things.
"They perched in silence.
How can we be so diff--"
Diff...diff--
I don't know that word.
Yes, you do. Because that's the word
that starts with a "D."
I'm tired.
I don't believe you.
Are you calling me a liar?
Yes. I think
you have to read the word.
- Yeah, you have to read that word.
- No.
Yeah. Here... here it is.
There's the picture
where they're all perched.
I won't read the word!
I'm your father...
and I'm telling you
to read the word.
I can tell you to
because I'm your father.
I'm stupid.
You are not stupid.
No, you are not stupid,
because you can read that word.
I don't want to read it
if you can't.
No, because that makes me happy.
It makes me happy
hearing you read.
Yeah. It makes me happy
when you're reading.
"They perched in silence
for a long time.
'How can we be so different...
and feel so much alike?'
mused Flitter.
'How can we feel so different and
be so much alike?' wondered Pip.
'I think
this is quite a mystery."'
Keep going.
