:09:02
Oh, thanks.
:09:06
You know you're pregnant?
:09:08
Ugh.
:09:10
Are you thinkin'
about havin' this child?

:09:14
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know.

:09:19
.. Through informants
and investigation

:09:21
that you are involved in
the manufacturing of the dope.

:09:23
Whoever told you
that's a liar.

:09:25
That's gonna have to be
determined by the courts.

:09:31
Pregnant? Jesus Christ.
:09:32
Pregnant? Jesus Christ.
:09:33
She probably doesn't even know
who the father is.

:09:36
Hell, I'll drive her
by the pound

:09:38
on the way downtown
and get her spayed.

:09:42
Do you know how many
times you've been arrested

:09:44
for hazardous vapor inhalation
:09:46
in the last year and a half,
Miss Stoops?

:09:48
Uh... five?
:09:51
...13... 14... 15...
:09:54
16 times.
:09:56
Do you know how many times
we've given you

:09:59
substance-abuse treatment
in the state hospital

:10:01
instead of jail?
:10:03
Uh... three?
:10:07
Uh, no, no.
Five, five.

:10:09
Six... six times.
:10:11
The record also shows
that over the years,

:10:14
the state has stripped you
of four children,

:10:16
declaring you, in all cases,
an unfit mother.

:10:18
Unh-unh, unh-unh.
:10:20
I was only unfit
for, uh, two of 'em.

:10:23
First one got adopted,
and I think the second one...

:10:27
Shut up. Tell me something,
Miss Stoops.

:10:30
Did you know you were pregnant
at the time of your arrest?

:10:33
I don't know.
:10:35
What do you mean
you don't know?

:10:40
Is there any way...
you can begin to understand

:10:45
the depth
of your irresponsibility

:10:47
toward your children,
toward the state,

:10:50
not to mention
toward yourself?!

:10:52
You sicken me.
:10:54
I'm sorry.
:10:56
So-o-rry.
:10:59
Sorry.
