:25:00
It's a psychological manual.
I use it in my work.
:25:03
I'm a counselor at a school
for boys with emotional trouble.
:25:07
Just boys, huh ?
No girls at all ?
:25:09
I'm afraid so.
:25:14
So how does your family feel about
this trip of yours up to Stockton ?
:25:17
I don't got no family
just at the moment.
:25:20
Vanessa, everybody's got a family.
:25:24
Shows how much you know.
:25:27
- You wanna talk about it ?
- Not really.
:25:30
I'm sorry.
:25:32
It's an unfortunate habit of mine,
sticking my nose where it shouldn't be.
:25:36
That's a bad habit.
:25:38
Well, don't rub it in, okay ?
It's just my work.
:25:41
I see a kid who looks like they're in
trouble, and I start askin' questions.
:25:46
I guess it's just
become second nature.
:25:48
It's that obvious ?
:25:51
- What is ?
- Me being in trouble.
:25:54
Look, the offer's still open
if you want it.
:25:59
You know,
I've always found it amazing how...
:26:02
how much easier it is to really share
something with a perfect stranger...
:26:05
stuff that you couldn't even
talk to with your friends or family.
:26:07
I noticed that.
:26:09
- That's real funny.
- Yeah, it is.
:26:11
Most of the kids I work with, I don't
press 'em to talk about themselves.
:26:15
I just let them know I'm there,
:26:17
and that they can talk
about themselves if they want to.
:26:25
I guess my biggest problem
right now is...
:26:28
my mama's in jail.
:26:31
Vanessa, that sounds like
a pretty bad situation.
:26:34
Yeah, but that's why
I'm goin' to see my grandma.
:26:39
Would you mind me asking
why your mother's in jail ?
:26:43
It's pretty embarrassing.
:26:45
Why would you be embarrassed
about another person's acts ?
:26:47
I don't know, it's just...
:26:49
I mean, I don't feel comfortable
talkin' about stuff like that
:26:53
'cause I think it makes me
look like a low-type person.
:26:57
Well, I can understand that.
