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.

:17:02
Yeah, I'm just trying to help
your lying ass.

:17:05
Shh, shh.
:17:06
Whoa, yo!
:17:07
It don't do no good
to beat on each other

:17:09
about shit we did when we was
bugging and drugging.

:17:12
Huh?
:17:13
Now, come on,
let's look at this thing

:17:16
from a positive place.
:17:18
What kind of mother
would you like to be?

:17:23
One your kids can
depend on coming up?

:17:30
Sade?
:17:31
I don't have nothing to say.
:17:33
See?
:17:35
Khaila, what about your kids?
:17:39
I ain't got no kids.
:17:49
Here, look where you are.
:17:52
- I'll park the car.
- Okay.

:17:55
That always happens, though.
:17:59
Look.
