1:08:04
What exactly are you sorry for?
1:08:07
That you threw your baby
in the trash?

1:08:10
That you dragged my family
through hell?

1:08:14
No, I just want my son back.
1:08:17
Your son?
1:08:20
What makes him your son?
1:08:22
That you fucked some junkie
in an alley

1:08:24
three years ago to get high?
1:08:27
Well, if you were
all of that,

1:08:29
your husband wouldn't have
fucked somebody else,

1:08:31
and maybe you'd have
a baby of your own,

1:08:33
and you wouldn't be trying
1:08:34
to take mine.
1:08:35
Look in the mirror.
1:08:36
Look at my face.
1:08:37
I'm his mother.
1:08:39
God says so.
1:08:40
Take yours?
1:08:41
I didn't have to take him.
1:08:42
You threw him away, remember?
1:08:45
Any animal can give birth.
1:08:47
That doesn't make it a mother.
1:08:49
Oh, so you calling me an animal?
1:08:51
If you think
1:08:52
you just gonna walk
up in this court

1:08:54
and take my baby
1:08:55
like you take some
puppy from a pound,

1:08:56
you got another
thing coming, lady,

1:08:58
'cause you ain't gonna
take my baby from me.

1:09:01
He's not a baby.
1:09:04
You don't even know him.
1:09:05
You don't know
anything about him.

1:09:06
Wait!
1:09:08
Don't do this.
1:09:10
Don't do this to Isaiah.
1:09:14
Don't do what?
1:09:15
Tell him the truth...
1:09:17
that his real mama is as black
as he is?

1:09:20
Black?
1:09:21
All you people
think about is color.

1:09:23
You people?
1:09:25
You people?
1:09:26
Well, me and Isaiah...
we the same kind of people...

1:09:31
or didn't you notice?
1:09:51
Margaret?
1:09:53
I'm not going to talk
about this right now.
