A Cool, Dry Place (1998)

.
"I was thinking about the time, God, I don't even think Calvin was 6-months-old, when we were down at the lake. And it started to rain, and you put him in the ice chest, you covered him - you covered him with a blanket. And that's the way I always think of him when I think of him with you. Y'know, being safe and protected in a cool, dry place."

Russell Durrell (Vince Vaughn) moved from Chicago to Kansas when his ex-wife Kate (Monica Potter) abandoned him and their young son. Now, when little Calvin (Bobby Moat) is five years old, she comes waltzing back into their lives and tries to assert herself.

Russell, a lawyer who also coaches a high school basketball team, has built a life for himself and his son and doesn't need Kate to come in to mess it up. Besides, Russell is getting into a serious relationship with Beth Ward (Joey Lauren Adams) and is also contemplating a job opportunity in Texas.
