:40:02
...maybe you're better off.
:40:04
You stay a child
and be glad that's what God made you.

:40:08
Then why did He make me
look like a woman...

:40:11
...and feel like a woman inside?
:40:14
And want to have all the things
that a woman should have?

:40:17
Is that what I'm supposed
to thank Him for?

:40:24
I know that I get confused sometimes.
I know that I get frightened.

:40:29
But if I'm a child,
why can't I be happy like a child?

:40:32
Why can't I just be satisfied with dolls
instead of babies?

:40:36
I'm not so smart.
I can't answer those things!

:40:38
I am. Maybe I'm just as smart as a child...
:40:41
...but some children are smarter
than grownups.

:40:43
Some grownups I've seen are very stupid.
:40:46
And very mean.
:40:49
You don't have responsibilities.
It's responsibilities that make meanness.

:40:54
I don't want to be your responsibility!
:40:58
Then who would be responsible
for you, yourself?

:41:02
That man you ran away with who
wants money? God only knows what else.

:41:07
Things you would never dream about.
You stay the way you are.

:41:12
You don't know what such feelings
could do to you.

:41:15
Yes, I do.
:41:18
I know what other things you're talking
about 'cause they happened to me.

:41:22
They happened
because I wanted them to happen.

:41:24
You're angry, so you tell me lies?
I don't want to hear these childish lies.

:41:29
When I was in school I let boys touch me.
:41:35
And boys that I met in the park.
:41:38
Some nights when you were sleeping
I went downstairs and let them in.

:41:45
And not just boys.
:41:48
- Men, too.
- You stop this!

:41:51
You dream this stuff in your head!
:41:54
I needed somebody to hold me.
:41:56
To tell me that I was pretty.
You never once told me that.
