...you could be keepin' other kids
from going to prison.
:24:05
Mama's friends read an article which
associated your name with Poncelet.
:24:10
- My name was in the paper?
- It has nothing to do with that.
:24:13
I am simply curious.
Helen, what has drawn you to this?
:24:18
Mama, I don't know.
:24:20
I feel caught more than drawn.
:24:24
The man's in trouble and, for some
reason, I'm the only one he trusts.
:24:28
Your heart's in the right place, but a
full heart shouldn't follow an empty head.
:24:33
Or an empty stomach.
:24:37
You'd always bring home strays.
If we'd taken in all those dogs and cats...
:24:41
...we wouldn't have had any money
to feed the children in this house.
:24:45
Your heart is large.
:24:49
Just take care that others don't take
advantage of it. I'd hate to see that.
:24:54
All right, Mama.
:24:56
My daddy took me to a bar when I was 12
and told me to pick my whiskey.
:25:01
There was all these bottles
behind the bar.
:25:04
I said "I'll take that one there
with the pretty turkey on it."
:25:07
The guys in the bar laughed their butts
off. We got drunk as coots that night.
:25:12
My daddy was a good man.
Sharecropper. Hard worker.
:25:16
That's the one thing I got from him -
workin' hands.
:25:19
- How old were you when he died?
- 14.
:25:25
- Why's you a nun?
- I was drawn to it, I guess.
:25:28
That's a hard question to answer.
It's like asking you why you're a convict.
:25:32
- Bad luck.
- Good luck, then.
:25:34
I had a lovin' family, a lot of support.
I felt obliged to give some of it back.
:25:40
Don't you miss havin' a man? Don't you
wanna get married, fall in love, have sex?
:25:48
You don't wanna talk about it?
:25:51
I have close friends - men and women.
:25:53
I've never experienced sexual intimacy,
but there's other ways of being close.
:25:59
Sharing your dreams, your thoughts,
your feelings. That's bein' intimate too.
