:30:02
Now, Ruth,
if you can hear me,

:30:04
and I hope you can,
:30:06
we are with you.
:30:08
We've been praying for you
both day and night.

:30:11
Earlier today, a generous donor
offered to help you financially

:30:15
so that money would not play
a part in your decisiĆ³n.

:30:19
People all over the country
:30:20
have been moved by your plight
in the same way,

:30:23
and their pledges
are pouring in.

:30:24
The phones have been ringing
off the hook.

:30:26
...You're offering money?
...That's what I'm saying.

:30:29
The fund for Ruth and her baby
now stands at nearly $27,000.

:30:36
...$27,000...
:30:38
Fuck!
:30:39
...donated by Americans
:30:41
who will not stand by
and watch a baby die needlessly

:30:45
because her mother is poor.
:30:49
Whoo!
:30:50
...$27,000!
:30:52
Harlan!
:30:55
Ugh!
:30:56
Harlan!
:30:58
I gotta go talk to Harlan.
I gotta go talk to Harlan.

:31:00
Ruth...
:31:02
No. Harlan!
:31:04
Harlan! Harlan!
:31:06
...Get her in the chair.
...Let me talk to him.

:31:09
...Get her down.
...Ow! Ow! Ow!

:31:12
Where'd you get this bottle?
:31:14
Nowhere. I found it.
:31:16
Yeah, like maybe in the liquor
cabinet in the kitchen?

:31:18
You know you're not
supposed to be drinking.

:31:20
What... for my baby?
:31:23
You don't give a fuck
about my baby.

:31:25
You want me to kill my baby!
:31:27
But they want me
to have my baby,

:31:29
and they're gonna give me
$27,000 for it.

:31:31
I'm gonna go talk
to Harlan!

:31:32
...Shut up! Enough!
...Harlan!

:31:35
You listen to me,
and you listen good.

:31:37
I have spent nine months
in a secret life

:31:40
among people I hated,
:31:41
and I've blown all that work
on you.

:31:44
We have been up
for 36 hours

:31:47
making all the arrangements,
:31:49
trying to make everything
as easy as possible for you,

:31:52
and this is how you repay us.
:31:53
Fuck off!
I don't care!

:31:55
My body belongs to me!
:31:58
And if you don't let me talk
to Harlan,

:31:59
I'm gonna go have my baby
right now!
