History TearJerker / MrsDoubtfire

** Not only that but it's a harsh case of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome; just because Daniel gave a heartfelt speech explaining his zany antics doesn't mean the judge will be sympathetic, because to an outsider like the judge, his actions were of questionable sanity and make Daniel seem like a threat.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gzzxMHjRrg&t=1048s These deleted scenes]] which were on the special edition DVD and Blu-ray sets. ''Damn.'' To give the lowdown: Daniel comes to Lydia's spelling bee, but ends up creating a distraction, causing her to lose the event. Then the parents [[https://youtu.be/-gzzxMHjRrg?t=1793 break down arguing in front of the kids]] after Daniel is unmasked, each saying they're loved by their children, before Lydia interrupts and says she hates both. Chris even says tearfully, "Me too." The looks on Daniel's and Miranda's faces are ''heartbreaking''.

--> '''Daniel''': Oh, that's great! She [the neighbor] called you and you busted the birthday party. That's great!\\
'''Miranda''': Don't you ''dare'' make me out to be the monster here, Daniel, don't you ''dare''! You have all the fun and I get whatever's left over.\\
'''Daniel''': You chose the career, Missy.\\
'''Miranda''': I ''have'' no choices to here, Daniel! I ''have'' no choices! Even when I try to do something fun, you do it ten times bigger! I bring home a birthday cake and a few gifts, you bring home the goddamn San Diego Zoo, and I have to clean up!\\
'''Daniel''': Oh, I'm sorry, but it's not toxic waste, just a few party plates!\\
'''Miranda''': Why am I the only one that feels there has to be rules? Why do you always make me out to be the heavy?\\
'''Daniel''': I don't. You do it yourself quite naturally.\\
'''Miranda''': You set me up every time to be the bad guy.\\
'''Daniel''': Oh, lighten up, will ya? Just realize you spend too much time with those corporate clones you used to despise!\\
'''Miranda''': I spend too much time with ''you'', Daniel! It's over!... It's over.\\
'''Daniel''': Come on, Miranda. We've got problems, but who doesn't? We could work 'em out.\\
'''Miranda''': We've been trying to work them out for fourteen years.\\
'''Daniel''': Come on, please. Listen. Maybe we need some help, okay? Maybe a family therapist will help us do this together.\\
'''Miranda''': It's too late for that.\\
'''Daniel''': Well, let's take a vacation with the kids, as a family. Get you away from work. You're a different person. You really are. You're great.\\
'''Miranda''': Our problems would be waiting for us when we got back.\\
'''Daniel''': Well we'll move. And hopefully our problems won't follow us.\\
'''Miranda''': [[DudeNotFunny Daniel, please don't joke.]]\\
'''Daniel''': Okay.\\
'''Miranda''': We've just grown apart. We're different. We have nothing in common.\\
'''Daniel''': Oh, sure we do. We love each other. Come on, Miranda. We love each other... Don't we?\\
'''Miranda''': ...I want a divorce.

--> '''Daniel''': Your Honor, in the past two months, I've secured a residence, refurbished it, and made it "an environment fit for children". Those are your words. I'm also holding down a job as a shipping clerk. So I believe I met your requirements. Ahead of schedule. In regards to my behavior, I can only plead insanity. Because ever since my children were born, the moment I looked at them, I was crazy about them. Once I held them, I was hooked. I'm addicted to my children, sir. I love them with all my heart. And the idea of someone telling me I can't be with them, I can't see them every day... It's like someone saying I can't have air. I can't live without air, and I can't live without them. Listen, I would do anything. I just want to be with them. I know I need that, sir. We have a history. And I just... They mean everything to me. And they need me as much as I need them. So, please. Don't take my kids away from me. Thank you.\\

'''Judge''': Mr. Hillard... You've been able to fool a lot of people into believing that you're a sixty-year-old woman. No easy task. [[HopeSpot And your little speech seemed to be very heartfelt and genuine]]... [[StealthInsult but I believe it to be a terrific performance by a very gifted actor. Nothing more]].\\
'''Daniel''': No. It's not that.\\
'''Judge''': The reality, Mr. Hillard, is that your lifestyle over the past month has been very unorthodox. And I refuse to further subject three innocent children to your peculiar and potentially harmful behavior. It is this court's decision to award full custody to Mrs. Hillard.\\
'''Daniel''': Oh, God, no, sir. Please.\\
'''Judge''': You will have supervised visitation rights every Saturday.\\
'''Daniel''': ''Supervised'', sir?\\
'''Judge''': Yes. A court liaison will accompany you when you spend time with the children. I am suggesting a period of psychological testing and perhaps treatment for you, Mr. Hillard. We will re-examine this case ''one year from now''. Thank you. Court is adjourned.

** What's even worse, despite forbidding Chris from having a birthday party because of his bad grades, she still bought a soccer-themed birthday cake even when arriving hours earlier than planned, and one of the horses Daniel had bought in ate the cake, meaning her attempt to still celebrate her son's birthday got ruined and overshadowed by Daniel's actions.

* Although it's PlayedForLaughs, put yourself in Miranda's place and the realization that the woman you've grown to love and respect not just as your housekeeper but as a friend was nothing more than your husband in disguise, making all those meaningful moments from before ring hollow when you realize Mrs. Doubtfire was merely a guise. Miranda takes this news about as well as anybody would in this situation, and Daniel knows no number of apologies can make up for that deceit.
