I was taught
to desire nothing...

:31:03
to swallow
other people's misery...

:31:06
and to eat my own bitterness.
:31:10
And even though I taught
my daughter the opposite...

:31:14
but still she came out
the same way.

:31:21
Maybe it is because she was born
to me and she was born a girl.

:31:25
And I was born to my mother,
and I was born a girl.

:31:28
All of us like stairs...
:31:31
one step after another,
going up, going down...

:31:36
but always going the same way.
:31:44
But, no, this cannot be.
:31:51
This, this not knowing
what you're worth.

:31:56
This not begin with you.
:32:00
My mother not know her worth...
:32:04
until too late.
:32:06
Too late for her, but not for me.
:32:19
Now we will see
if not too late for you, hmm?

:32:44
Rose, I'm--
I'm standing out in the rain...

:32:46
ringing the bell for 1 5 minutes.
Are you okay?

:32:53
Honey?
:32:56
Are you okay?
:32:59
Honey?
