Who is Annie?
1:30:04
What?
1:30:05
Who is Annie, Mother?
1:30:13
She was a neighbor who took in kids,
did people's laundry.

1:30:17
-What did she look like?
-Dark, curly hair, freckles.

1:30:24
Did she take care of me?
1:30:33
How can you possibly
have remembered this?

1:30:43
It will only hurt you.
1:30:50
Imagine my life for a moment.
1:30:54
How unprepared I was to be
the mother of a small child.

1:31:00
I was used to having time to think
and you just wanted, wanted, wanted.

1:31:07
I felt like a hostage.
1:31:09
Can you understand
how desperate I was?

1:31:26
I dropped you off
at her house one afternoon...

1:31:29
...to go to the beach
with some friends.

1:31:34
And one thing led to another.
1:31:38
They had a place in Ensenada.
1:31:42
It was wonderful.
1:31:44
You can't imagine.
1:31:46
To take a nap in the afternoon...
1:31:49
...to make love all day if I wanted
and not have to think:

1:31:53
What's Astrid doing? Where's Astrid?
Mommy, Mommy...

1:31:57
...clinging to me like a spider.
1:31:59
At the end, I just wanted
to throw you against a wall.
