Kaneesha: Mama, it's me.
:46:02
It's joan levias
from eastside.
:46:05
I'm here
with mr. Clark.
:46:08
'Cause time
don't wait on love, now
:46:13
and life don't send you
an invitation
:46:20
been a long time,
mrs. Carter.
:46:24
Please.
:46:26
Come in.
:46:33
No love at all
:46:37
i've been meaning to come by
and talk to you.
:46:41
Mind if i try and act
civilized for a moment?
:46:45
Offered you two
a seat.
:46:50
Mrs. Carter, i ran into
kaneesha in the halls.
:46:55
Was talking
about her grades.
:46:57
She says you don't want
her around anymore.
:47:00
I don't expect
your sympathy,
:47:03
but i ruined my life.
:47:05
I know that's my business
to deal with that.
:47:08
It's been hard enough.
:47:10
Joe: When kaneesha
was in the fifth grade,
:47:13
you were one of my most
active parents.
:47:15
You were always
at school helping out.
:47:17
We don't mean
to pry, mrs. Carter,
:47:19
but kaneesha
has a gift.
:47:21
She has that spark.
We have to look after her.
:47:24
Why would she think
you wouldn't want her?
:47:27
I had kaneesha
when i was 15.
:47:31
I didn't want
no welfare,
:47:34
so i quit school,
worked,
:47:36
came home at night,
:47:38
didn't have no life.
:47:41
So when she was old enough
to take care of herself,
:47:46
i ran out and got one.
:47:48
Is that what
you're doing now?
:47:51
I'm just now getting back
on my feet, you know?
:47:57
As i get clean...
