and use it as a condom

You said that
to your ex-wife?

Well, I was mad.

113
00:06:41,347 --> 00:06:44,475
You better watch out. She's gonna
end up keeping Bobby all the time.

What does it mean???

The context is hardly conclusive, but, apparently, Bobby is a mutual child of divorced parents. It looks like Bobby stays with father from time to time, and the person who says the bolded-out phrase warns the other one that the latter's wife will stop that practice and Bobby will no longer allowed to stay with the father.

I'm afraid this interpretation doesn't fit the overall vibe of the film. My hunch is that it might be some sort of slang or a set expression, but googling the phrase didn't help.

what phrase are you talking about?

keeping Bobby

sounds like the already mentioned custody thing. I don't understand your response about the vibe of the movie. There either is or is not a custody issue, what does the vibe of the movie have to do with that?

The line comes from the film Operation Endgame and after watching the clip... I agree with the others.
Bobby is the guard's son. The first guard tells the second one that he used that really nasty insult on his ex-wife. The second guard warns him to more careful what he says to his ex-wife or she is going to end up keeping him (Bobby) all the time OR having custody of him (Bobby) all the time.

here is the clip (R rated movie here fans).

thanks to all
