He started the car. He went around to the car windows and, making a job of it, scraped away the ice” (Carver). This proves the boy is not ready for the relationship or the long road ahead to raise the child with his wife.

However, after seeing Lucy with her new family, Sam becomes convinced that she “doesn't need him“ because “she has a new family now.” Rita, who has come to love Sam for his innocent yet loving ways, convinces him that Lucy does need him, which is proved when Lucy repeatedly sneaks out of her new house to visit Sam in the middle of the night. Despite being brought back to her new house by Sam and scolded by her new parents, Lucy shows a desperation and a need to be with Sam. Her new foster parents recognize this, and begin to see Sam in a new light. Their perception of him changes from being a dangerous, immature and hopeless individual to a man who loves his daughter more than anything else in the world.

Through a final scene in the film, we see how all those who previously thought Sam to be useless and dangerous, like the lawyer Rita and Lucy’s foster family, now perceives him to be just like anybody else; a man who simply wants to love his daughter. In a change of perceptions, Sam is shown to be a man who, despite his immaturity, is a wonderful and caring
