He wants to marry me.
I wanna marry him.

:29:08
I wanna have his children.
I want my own babies.

:29:13
Jesus Christ!
:29:14
Enough! I don't want
to hear this anymore.

:29:16
Why? You think that I can't have
healthy babies? Momma, I can.

:29:20
I am strong as an ox.
:29:22
I've worked in that store,
I've taken care of you since I'm 12.

:29:26
That's how strong I am. I'm like steel!
:29:29
Isn't that what you say
we're supposed to be?

:29:31
Only my babies won't die...
:29:34
...because I will love them
and I will take care of them.

:29:38
My babies will be happy because
I will teach them to be happy.

:29:43
And not to grow up and run away
and never visit when they're older.

:29:47
And not to be so frightened
that they couldn't even breathe.

:29:50
And never, ever to make them spend
their lives rubbing my back and legs...

:29:54
...because you never had anybody
around you who loved you enough...

:29:57
...to want to touch you,
because you made it so clear...

:30:01
...you just didn't want to be touched...
:30:05
...with love.
:30:19
You know what it's like
to touch steel, Momma?

:30:22
It's hard and it's cold,
and I don't want that for my babies.

:30:27
I want it to be soft and warm.
:30:34
Let me have babies, please.
:30:40
I gotta love somebody.
:30:42
I gotta love somebody
who will love me back before I die.

:30:46
And I promise you, you would never
have to worry about being alone...

:30:50
...'cause you would have us.
:30:53
Louie, tell her
how wonderful that could be!

:30:57
Gert, wouldn't that make her happy?
Wouldn't it?
