:52:01
You worked for the state, l take it?
:52:03
- After a fashion.
- What did you do at the prison?
:52:06
- Desks.
- (clears throat)
:52:09
I spot-welded desks,
and then l got promoted to shoes.
:52:13
You were in charge of the shop?
:52:15
Lady, l was a convict. I was doing time.
:52:18
- You were what?
- Frank, let's go.
:52:21
uh, you have to understand,
we have more applicants than children.
:52:26
Then why do you still have kids here?
:52:28
As a kid, l would not be falling all over
myself to stay in one of these places.
:52:32
We will relieve you of some of the burden.
:52:35
The point is, we establish
criteria for parenting.
:52:39
An ex-convict compared
to other desirables...
:52:41
So we'll take a kid that's not so desirable.
:52:44
You got a black kid? We'll take
a black kid. You got a Chink kid?
:52:47
- You don't...
- No one likes older kids.
:52:49
You got an eight-year-old black Chink kid?
We'll take him.
:52:53
- Frank?
- Wait. If it's a matter of... You know? Here.
:52:56
- What is that?
- What is that?
:52:58
That is D, flawless,
3.2 carats, emerald cut.
:53:02
- This is not a marketplace.
- Right.
:53:05
You're not smart enough to take this
any more than to identify good parents.
:53:09
Get out of my office.
:53:11
You did not ask about us
or what kind of people we are.
:53:14
There is a child waiting. You are denying
us him and him us. Who the hell are you?
:53:19
- Don't make a scene.
- Our criteria...
:53:21
Your criteria?
:53:23
Your criteria are so far up your ass
they can't see daylight. Bullshit!
:53:27
It's not happening. Let's go.
:53:29
I got some ABC-type
information for you, lady.
:53:32
I was state raised,
and this is a dead place.
:53:37
A child in eight-by-four green walls.
:53:39
After a while you tell
the walls "My life is yours."
:53:42
- You grow up in the suburbs?
- Yes.
:53:44
Right. Right.
:53:49
What are you lookin' at? Huh?
