permanent foster care
for that child

:15:02
for four years now.
:15:04
No, no, go ahead...
:15:05
send her back if that's
what the courts want.

:15:08
But listen, you tell that
son-of-a-bitch judge...

:15:10
that if her father
finally kills her,

:15:12
not to come weeping to me.
:15:29
... nothing says
I would wish it to be.

:15:35
That's my grandma's song.
:15:40
Yeah, she would've liked you.
:15:42
You're a little fighter,
aren't you, huh?

:15:48
Beans, beets, rice.
:15:50
Hey, Ethel.
:15:51
- There you go.
- Oh, let's see.

:15:53
Give me just some rice
and veggies.

:15:55
- Rice and veggies.
- Thanks.

:15:56
You've been a social worker
for what, 15 years?

:15:59
Mm-hmm.
:16:00
Let's say a nice,
well-meaning white lady

:16:03
came into your office
and told you

:16:06
she was thinking of taking
a black crack baby home,

:16:09
thinking she could save it.
:16:12
What would you say?
:16:15
Not to.
:16:17
It's insane, Margaret.
:16:19
A black crack baby...
it's insane.

:16:21
There's nothing wrong with him.
:16:22
Well, he could have problems
that won't show up for years.

:16:25
So could we.
:16:27
Look, Charlie,
you haven't seen him.

:16:30
I mean, there's something
so great about him.

:16:33
He has... he has this spirit.
:16:34
You can see it in his eyes.
:16:36
And he has nothing.
:16:38
He's so all alone.
:16:40
You're lying,
you know you're lying.

:16:42
Is you for real?
:16:43
Bullshit.
:16:45
You-you really think your kids
don't know

:16:47
that you turning tricks?
:16:48
What are they, retarded?
:16:49
Is anybody talking to you?
:16:50
Where your kids think
you is right now...

:16:52
on a Carnival cruise
or some shit?

:16:54
Shut up, okay?
:16:55
Like your kids
don't know

:16:56
what you be doing
late at night?

:16:57
Shut up, okay? Just shut up.
:16:59
She just trying to help
your lying butt... that's all.
