1
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:09,403
I wanted really good to my mother
2
00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:13,699
She was drug addict
3
00:01:15,284 --> 00:01:16,994
She was an alcoholic
4
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:21,039
She was legally blind
5
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:23,709
She was schizophrenic
6
00:01:24,126 --> 00:01:26,545
But I never forgot that she loved me
7
00:01:27,504 --> 00:01:29,047
even if she did
8
00:01:30,674 --> 00:01:32,134
all the time
9
00:01:33,677 --> 00:01:35,053

11
00:01:53,864 --> 00:01:55,616

13
00:01:58,452 --> 00:02:00,120
it's mine, the state gave this to me!
14
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:03,081
If you do not like us do not eat!
15
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:06,502
Do not touch me, touch me not!
16
00:02:06,502 --> 00:02:07,878
Where are they, eh?
Where are they?
17
00:02:07,878 --> 00:02:09,379
Where is it ?
18
00:02:12,257 --> 00:02:16,011
Please, give it to me
19
00:02:22,434 --> 00:02:24,811
-I gave it to you,
-Let go MoM!
20
00:02:26,939 --> 00:02:28,398
I gave a 100 to you
21
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:31,610
When the check came
I gave $ 100 to you to one of you.
22
00:02:32,361 --> 00:02:34,696
to keep them from,
you understand?
23
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:37,407
Those for us to live on
24
00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:41,745
every month it's the same damn thing
25
00:02:41,745 --> 00:02:45,165
so you can put it to your arms
so we can starve
26
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:46,542
it's mine
27
00:02:47,835 --> 00:02:49,461
I didn't have it.
28
00:02:49,461 --> 00:02:51,129
You are a liar
29
00:02:58,178 --> 00:03:00,639
Give it to me,
it's mine!
30
00:03:01,598 --> 00:03:03,350
it's mine!
31
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:06,270
We are hungry!
32
00:03:06,270 --> 00:03:08,856
I can't
We need food MoM
33
00:03:08,856 --> 00:03:11,692
what do you ever do for me, hah ?
I gave you life
34
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:15,779
Do you want me to go on the streets
as prostituitmi
hah?
35
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:19,241
do you want me to do that ?
I know I do that sometimes, right?
36
00:03:37,134 --> 00:03:38,844
I need it
37
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,849
I need it
38
00:03:47,269 --> 00:03:48,854
I need it
39
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:53,442
what is Medina?
40
00:03:54,359 --> 00:03:59,031
what is Medina, that gives you $ 15,200
at the end of the round of double jeopardy.
41
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,840
I wanted that smile,
42
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:20,052
Oh God, I wantedthat smile so much
43
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:24,223
I was pathetic, wasn't I?
44
00:04:30,521 --> 00:04:31,855
don't take the Acquedotto
45
00:04:32,147 --> 00:04:33,732
Mom!
46
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:38,028
Dady ...
47
00:04:43,325 --> 00:04:46,453
-she's taking the Acquedotto.
-What the hell difference does she make?
48
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:49,081
- she'll get mugged !!
- Who cares!
49
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,378
Help her father, she can't see,
she'll get mugged
50
00:04:55,087 --> 00:04:57,089
always a big production
51
00:05:04,721 --> 00:05:06,557
see, They said they'll fix the light for change
52
00:05:06,557 --> 00:05:08,392
The muggers will break them again
53
00:05:08,392 --> 00:05:09,393
No,No
54
00:05:10,602 --> 00:05:13,063
No, you see she's okay
the water runs down hill
55
00:05:14,690 --> 00:05:15,983
There is no water
56
00:05:16,066 --> 00:05:18,610
You are wrong,
dont you know what the aqueduct is?
57
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:23,699
The aqueduct carried water to New York City
Well, for over 100 years it did that
58
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:25,826
Then they closed it down but now
59
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:29,705
the ghost water,right?
it carries your mother along.
60
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:36,336
My father, you could sitdown on a couch
and talk to my father
61
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,547
He just couldn't talk to him for long
62
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,924
Hey Jane!
63
00:05:42,885 --> 00:05:46,805
He knew so much,
he got all the answers righ on jeopardy.
64
00:05:46,805 --> 00:05:49,850
He's a genius, he've the answer every time!
65
00:05:55,981 --> 00:05:57,733
Watch where you going
66
00:06:03,155 --> 00:06:04,656
That's the thing
67
00:06:05,824 --> 00:06:07,451
Your parents all you gots
68
00:06:07,451 --> 00:06:11,705
I looked at them as example of what
should I find every where in the world
69
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:15,709
and they paid so litle attention to my needs
70
00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:19,963
but then it felt their needs
was so powerful
71
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:24,051
it didn't make me feel gurt or angry
but they didn't look into me
72
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:31,683
because I felt okay this,
This must be the human condition to be so
73
00:06:41,777 --> 00:06:43,278
And then the world came in
74
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:53,038
you took my husband Elisabeth
I'll kill you!
75
00:06:53,038 --> 00:06:54,039
No, Mom!
76
00:06:55,707 --> 00:07:00,003
I'm not your mother
I did you a favor
77
00:07:00,003 --> 00:07:02,881
Help me cleanup Liz, if they see
this they're gonna take us too!
78
00:07:05,092 --> 00:07:07,761
No, noo!
get out of my house!
79
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:08,762
you're not taking me
80
00:07:08,762 --> 00:07:12,808
I do not come with you,
you understand? Noo, noo!
81
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:14,101
what happen to the window?
82
00:07:14,101 --> 00:07:16,270
she threw the cat out
83
00:07:19,815 --> 00:07:22,359
leave me alone
84
00:07:24,403 --> 00:07:26,405
Why don't you take the medication and be a good girl?
85
00:07:26,405 --> 00:07:27,739
She takes it
86
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:29,867
she just take too many other things
87
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:37,291
- This place is a mess
- what happened here
88
00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:38,876
He took a knife!
89
00:07:38,876 --> 00:07:40,085
I fell down
90
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:41,295
- she got a knife
- put the knife down
91
00:07:53,015 --> 00:07:54,683
Alright,Where's the phone?
we don't have one
92
00:07:54,683 --> 00:07:56,310
- This woman is unfit

00:07:56,310 --> 00:08:00,439

94
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:01,440
Tell our father!
95
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,734
Ignore her she's a feminist.
96
00:08:03,734 --> 00:08:05,903
I can take you anytime I want
97
00:08:05,903 --> 00:08:09,907

98
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:14,536
hey, hey, Where you going? comeback here ,come back!
99
00:08:14,536 --> 00:08:17,039

100
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:20,292
They've girls in there they'll beat you down

101
00:08:21,376 --> 00:08:22,878
you can't have anything
102
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:25,964
You'll have to clean bathrooms
you'll work there if you don't work here
103
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:30,135
104
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:35,390

105
00:08:37,684 --> 00:08:39,478

106
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:42,815
Mom!
107
00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:46,610
mom
108
00:08:50,531 --> 00:08:51,532
mom
109
00:08:51,949 --> 00:08:53,700
Couldn't they see?
110
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,495
anyone could see
she was in so much pain
111
00:08:56,495 --> 00:09:00,624
The strugle was so much on the surface
so there if anyone cared to look
112
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:04,294
it wasn't like she was running of a good mother
to somebody else
or not that was a good mother
113
00:09:05,504 --> 00:09:07,798
she just didn't have anymore to give
114
00:09:09,299 --> 00:09:10,676
Let me go !
115
00:09:40,455 --> 00:09:43,208
116
00:09:43,208 --> 00:09:44,877
Alright, hey hey hey!
117
00:09:45,252 --> 00:09:47,421
oh! something stinks!
118
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:49,590
what is that?
119
00:09:52,134 --> 00:09:54,511
I was always the smelly kid in class
120
00:09:54,511 --> 00:10:01,310
Lisa stood on the bucket shower
but daddy left her doing
she had to marry a doctor she had so many expectations
121
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:04,771
I didn't have any expectations, so therefore I guess
I stunk
122
00:10:09,401 --> 00:10:12,863
I scratched for lice,
and burn between my legs
123
00:10:14,072 --> 00:10:16,408
My teachers was always telling me not to fidge it
124
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:18,577
but my underwear...
125
00:10:18,869 --> 00:10:20,996
I didn't know what to do about underwear
126
00:10:21,205 --> 00:10:23,498
I just worried that it fell apart
127
00:10:23,916 --> 00:10:27,544
Alright, people thank you resess is over
128
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:34,009
My teeth ached
129
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:35,010
I was hungry ...
130
00:10:37,262 --> 00:10:39,097
The teachers words never seem to reach me
131
00:10:39,097 --> 00:10:44,937
Words just seems .. fall on the floor
132
00:10:44,937 --> 00:10:47,689
Give me the test,Liz. there's no point of taking that
No, I'll take it.
133
00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:49,858
But you been here what? three times this month?
134
00:10:50,025 --> 00:10:52,569
I'll take it
it doesn't look that hard
135
00:10:53,737 --> 00:10:54,738
fine
136
00:11:06,667 --> 00:11:07,668
oh Liz, stay here
137
00:11:12,381 --> 00:11:14,841
you do smell, you know?
doesn't your mother tell you...
138
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:18,887
No, no ...
it is my fault I just forget
139
00:11:18,887 --> 00:11:23,725
ok Well,when you wanna have shower tonigh
will you wash back here?
140
00:11:25,561 --> 00:11:27,604
I've been saving something for you
141
00:11:34,486 --> 00:11:35,654
Here ...
142
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:41,285
And here, bhow did you do that?
143
00:11:41,451 --> 00:11:44,037
you've never in school
144
00:11:45,998 --> 00:11:47,291
I read a lot
145
00:11:47,291 --> 00:11:49,167
yeah, what do you read?
146
00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:50,794
The Encyclopedia
147
00:11:51,503 --> 00:11:56,008
The lady of the upstairs, Eva,
she found one in the dumpster
148
00:11:56,008 --> 00:11:59,511
the whole set, well
except from R to S
149
00:11:59,928 --> 00:12:04,474
If you've asked me between R and S I would've done it wrong
I was just lucky
150
00:12:04,474 --> 00:12:08,604
Oh Liz, you have to come to school
OK
No, I mean it, look
151
00:12:08,604 --> 00:12:10,772
it's redeculus you're way too smart not to be here
152
00:12:10,772 --> 00:12:13,775
I do not understand why toy don't come.
I will.
153
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:18,780
How can I tell her that school make me sad?
154
00:12:19,281 --> 00:12:23,493
I had never talked to her,
I don't know how to talk to anyone.
155
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:26,665
My house was not a place that you can come out of it
and be normal.
- you'll have to come everyday
156
00:12:28,707 --> 00:12:31,627
It's not a threat, it's promise
157
00:12:31,627 --> 00:12:34,421
and is not a threat,
is a promise.
158
00:12:46,475 --> 00:12:51,897
- Eva, look what I got,
- a 100
- thanks to your encyclopedia!
159
00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:55,943
Good, you gotta get a good marks!
you don't wanna be an idiot
160
00:12:55,943 --> 00:13:00,405
and you keep it up now, you hear me?
now your mother's back
161
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:03,575
My mother is back?
162
00:13:03,617 --> 00:13:08,163
Well, we had nice quite couple a months,
did we?
163
00:13:09,706 --> 00:13:14,378
The only good thing about taking my mother
to the nutt house was that when she came back
she was my Mom again
164
00:13:14,378 --> 00:13:21,718
she cooked and she cleaned
shorthand for the company in a
for me, that was the good quite couple of months
165
00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:25,347
Before the drugs came back in
166
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:34,690
Mom ..
167
00:13:48,537 --> 00:13:50,205
momy
168
00:13:50,205 --> 00:13:51,707
Lizzy
169
00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:01,300
Are you OK?
I'm okay
170
00:14:03,635 --> 00:14:06,513
pumpkin,
you look real good
171
00:14:07,556 --> 00:14:09,099
I'm Glad you're home mom!
172
00:14:12,311 --> 00:14:14,104
don't you glad you're home?
173
00:14:15,105 --> 00:14:18,233
Well, that hospital
174
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:20,944
wasn't too bad
175
00:14:20,944 --> 00:14:27,784
it's too green
the walls and there were bars on the windows

00:14:33,415 --> 00:14:35,042

179
00:14:44,635 --> 00:14:49,640
Look, Look I got a 100

00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:57,606

00:15:00,818 --> 00:15:02,986

I'm sick ... I'm sick, I...
192
00:15:47,531 --> 00:15:50,200

196
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:07,676
but I can't live here
197
00:16:10,846 --> 00:16:13,807
- I gonna go home
- This is home
198
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:17,186
No, home to my pops,
I will take you and Lisa
199
00:16:17,186 --> 00:16:19,479
No, no, you have to stay here
200
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:25,277
I gotta stop the drugs,
and I can't do it when daddy around
201
00:16:26,361 --> 00:16:28,405
But you'll be alone
202
00:16:29,615 --> 00:16:35,245
Liz, Lisa is already gone over,
just packup your things and let's go
203
00:16:35,245 --> 00:16:39,791
No no, cause you said pops will beat you
you said he raped your sister
204
00:16:39,791 --> 00:16:40,792
this is the way it has to be now
205
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:44,046
No, stay here
206
00:16:44,046 --> 00:16:46,507
I can't
207
00:16:46,507 --> 00:16:48,967
stay mom!
208
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:51,053
Everything was falling apart
209
00:16:51,053 --> 00:16:54,765
I thought If I stayed
I could have stop it
210
00:16:54,765 --> 00:17:00,521
I thought If I stayed
everything some how could stay the same
211
00:17:18,497 --> 00:17:20,290
just open the door, it's no use
212
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:24,837
I know you're in there
213
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:38,850
where is your mother and sister?
214
00:17:38,850 --> 00:17:40,018
they're gone
215
00:17:40,018 --> 00:17:41,353
where's your father?
216
00:17:41,353 --> 00:17:44,189
he's gonna get some food help,
he'll be right back.
217
00:17:47,568 --> 00:17:50,362
your teacher called, you still not going to school
218
00:17:50,362 --> 00:17:55,200

We gota do something about this
219
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,538
Miss Wanda warned you, I warned you,
everyone in case workers warned you
220
00:17:59,538 --> 00:18:00,539
this is been goining on for years
221
00:18:02,207 --> 00:18:06,003
we said clean up this place
and go to school,
clean up and go to school,
222
00:18:06,003 --> 00:18:09,923
and you haven't done either one of them had you ...
Elizabeth, have you?
223
00:18:10,424 --> 00:18:11,466
No
224
00:18:11,466 --> 00:18:13,135
so, what are we gonna do?
225
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:15,053
I do not know
226
00:18:15,053 --> 00:18:16,638
I do
227
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:20,309
you're going into the system
I'm taking her
228
00:18:20,309 --> 00:18:25,188
No! But things are better now,
my dady buys me big potatoes everyday
229
00:18:25,188 --> 00:18:27,816
you're not paying the rent,
you're not getting her to school
230
00:18:27,816 --> 00:18:29,860
I tell him to go,
I told you to go to school
231
00:18:29,860 --> 00:18:32,863
she's got a mind of her own,
she's a feminist
232
00:18:32,863 --> 00:18:38,035
this is not a joking matter,
pack her a suitcase ...
now!
233
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:44,374
No, no!
I'll go to school, please!
234
00:18:44,374 --> 00:18:47,753
This isn't working, we need an adult
who is responsible
235
00:18:47,753 --> 00:18:50,631
My grandfather is responsible!
My grandfather will take me!
My sister is there
236
00:18:50,631 --> 00:18:55,385
- your sister goes to school.
- I'll go to school!
I'll go to school, please!
237
00:18:55,677 --> 00:18:57,304
Not make noise
238
00:18:58,347 --> 00:19:03,101
I'll talk to him
and if he will take you
you will be out in 24 hours
239
00:19:03,101 --> 00:19:05,103
I'm sorry
240
00:19:07,231 --> 00:19:09,441
and if he won't?
241
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:16,115
You will have time to figure out how to live life
242
00:19:48,814 --> 00:19:51,275
figure out my life ...
243
00:19:51,275 --> 00:19:53,569
do people really do that?
244
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:56,572
If they do that , they're falling down
in a deep dark hole
245
00:20:08,959 --> 00:20:11,545
buzzed in, locked in
246
00:20:11,545 --> 00:20:14,506
it was like to visiting my mother
247
00:20:14,548 --> 00:20:17,468
Only I was in the crazy house now
248
00:20:27,019 --> 00:20:29,313
Get her!
249
00:20:38,947 --> 00:20:41,491
250
00:20:55,631 --> 00:21:01,678
I didn't get out in 24 hours,
I didn't get out in 24 days,
no one wanted me.
251
00:21:01,678 --> 00:21:05,349
they just left me there
252
00:21:14,483 --> 00:21:17,027
Why don't you go to school?
253
00:21:17,027 --> 00:21:22,032
That's the big problem I got Here,
why dont you go?
254
00:21:32,042 --> 00:21:37,256
Forom what I can see
you have got a discipline problem
255
00:22:56,752 --> 00:22:59,004
Liz!
Hey pops!
256
00:22:59,004 --> 00:23:04,134
You call your mother
Jean! Come out here, she's here
257
00:23:09,765 --> 00:23:12,017
I'm late for school
but I wanted to see you first
258
00:23:12,017 --> 00:23:13,227
Thanks Lisa
259
00:23:13,227 --> 00:23:16,813

we are doing okay
260
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:22,152
and don't expect too much, she is dying
261
00:23:28,659 --> 00:23:29,827
Lizzy!
262
00:23:29,827 --> 00:23:31,203
Mom
263
00:23:31,578 --> 00:23:35,290
oh God
264
00:23:45,425 --> 00:23:49,680
When I think of my life,
this is the time I like to think of
265
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,558
when I got back and my mother's mind was clear
266
00:23:52,558 --> 00:23:56,770
there was no cokain so her
schizophrenia medicine kept on working
267
00:23:56,770 --> 00:23:59,815
and we go to the cafe,
and sit and talk
268
00:23:59,815 --> 00:24:03,819
eat hamburghers,
we were together
269
00:24:04,736 --> 00:24:07,781
even with her bad eyes
I think she could see me
270
00:24:07,781 --> 00:24:10,409
well, she can see my outline
271
00:24:10,409 --> 00:24:12,953
and for a while I had my mother again
272
00:24:12,953 --> 00:24:16,415
even the park, yea I remember,
we used to slide down the hill
273
00:24:16,415 --> 00:24:19,459
remeber we put down that cart board
and we pretend that we sled
274
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,129
- you remember that?
- Yes
275
00:24:22,129 --> 00:24:26,967
- how about the tickle monster ?
- we screamed and laughed about that one
276
00:24:26,967 --> 00:24:30,971
Yeah, I was a good mother,
wasn't I?
277
00:24:35,642 --> 00:24:38,687
yea, you were fine
278
00:24:39,438 --> 00:24:40,230
yeah
279
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:47,029
well, I'm really glad we are all together
you and me, and Lisa
280
00:24:47,863 --> 00:24:50,991
what if dad went off drugs too
would that be great?
281
00:24:50,991 --> 00:24:54,203
Maybe we can go back to University Avenue
282
00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:03,837
well,your dad is in a shelter for homeless
283
00:25:03,837 --> 00:25:06,465
I'm afraid he lost the apartment
284
00:25:06,465 --> 00:25:09,802
he kind of ignore the rent,
so, you know ...
285
00:25:09,802 --> 00:25:14,056
What about my stuff?
286
00:25:14,056 --> 00:25:15,557
got thrown out
287
00:25:15,557 --> 00:25:18,977
all of it?
Even my encyclopedias?
288
00:25:18,977 --> 00:25:23,065
I'm really sorry , they board up the whole place
289
00:25:23,065 --> 00:25:28,487
there was nothing we could do,
it just, crap happens
I mean ...
290
00:25:28,987 --> 00:25:33,408
Look, I gotta go around the corner and see few friends
291
00:25:33,408 --> 00:25:36,995
just for a minute okay?
You finsh your burger
292
00:25:36,995 --> 00:25:40,290
and I ... I'll be right back
just be a minute
293
00:25:40,290 --> 00:25:42,918
just be a minute
294
00:26:44,062 --> 00:26:47,065
so that was that,
no going back
295
00:26:47,065 --> 00:26:51,069
I hadn't kept anything together,
I only made thaings worse
296
00:26:51,069 --> 00:26:53,363
If I had only go to school ...
297
00:26:53,363 --> 00:26:57,493
if I had only,
if I had only ...
298
00:26:57,493 --> 00:27:00,078
so that part of my life was over
299
00:27:00,078 --> 00:27:05,083
I guess the new part have begun
300
00:27:08,378 --> 00:27:11,757

I wasn't the smelly kid anymore,
I had learned to shower every day at the group home
311
00:28:02,349 --> 00:28:07,020
and my clothes, even if they came from the shop, all fit
312
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:09,773
but still didn't know how to be in school
313
00:28:09,773 --> 00:28:12,234

Alright, up
359
00:32:20,774 --> 00:32:25,487
I am a good mom,
I just need a hug, okay?
360
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:30,951
Come on!
361
00:32:30,951 --> 00:32:32,786
Oh God!
362
00:33:08,864 --> 00:33:12,451
here we go,
All clean, you see
363
00:33:12,451 --> 00:33:17,831
she couldn't take living straight,
why should I expect her to take dying
364
00:33:17,831 --> 00:33:20,751
isn't dying the hardest thing onyone have ever done?
365
00:33:20,751 --> 00:33:22,044
Everyone is gone
366
00:33:23,670 --> 00:33:26,340
- except you ...
- yeah
367
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:30,594
So where does you grandfather sleep?
368
00:33:30,594 --> 00:33:34,139
Here?
safe to his daughter?
369
00:33:34,139 --> 00:33:36,141
But I don't think like that
370
00:33:36,725 --> 00:33:38,894
Yeah, but don't know
371
00:33:39,353 --> 00:33:43,899
he Did some things to her when I was younger,
she told me that
372
00:33:46,068 --> 00:33:48,028
With her sister and not her?
373
00:33:50,405 --> 00:33:52,533
I figure he did them both ...
374
00:33:52,824 --> 00:33:53,826
so your sister is crazy too?
375
00:33:56,536 --> 00:34:03,877
Yeah, and their mother too,
that's why I didn't wanna come here
376
00:34:05,212 --> 00:34:09,049
you know, My...Mom is getting back to my dad
377
00:34:11,552 --> 00:34:14,763
I wish My mom would
378
00:34:16,890 --> 00:34:19,935
He does staff to my sister
379
00:34:22,187 --> 00:34:24,648
You do not have a sister
380
00:34:25,607 --> 00:34:27,359
Lucky for her
381
00:34:27,359 --> 00:34:31,572
did you tell your mother?
Yes, I told her
382
00:34:31,572 --> 00:34:34,741
but she left him,
and cursed him
383
00:34:35,325 --> 00:34:38,537
she said she's gonna call the cops,
and now she's getting back with him
384
00:34:38,537 --> 00:34:42,124
you know, I asked her how she could do that,
and she said that she missed him
385
00:34:44,251 --> 00:34:46,044
she missed him ...
386
00:34:48,630 --> 00:34:50,966
I was 7 years whe he first stuck it in
387
00:34:51,550 --> 00:34:52,968
Chris, Chris, don't!
388
00:34:56,013 --> 00:34:57,556
move in with me
389
00:34:57,973 --> 00:35:00,350
- What, stay here?
- Yeah!
390
00:35:01,852 --> 00:35:04,605
What .. what will your grandfather say?
391
00:35:04,605 --> 00:35:08,192
He won't know
We will work it out so will never see him
392
00:35:08,192 --> 00:35:12,070
he won't get up until after this for work
he's like a robot anyway,
he's out by eight
393
00:35:12,070 --> 00:35:15,115
I'm back at 6
out!
394
00:35:15,115 --> 00:35:16,950
Pops! she had no place to stay!
395
00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:18,410
This not my problem
396
00:35:18,410 --> 00:35:19,411
Leave her alone!
397
00:35:24,958 --> 00:35:29,046
Your mother is dying
your peace of trash father walked out
and stuck me with all of this
398
00:35:29,254 --> 00:35:31,924
did I ask this in my old age?
tell me!
399
00:35:43,018 --> 00:35:44,603
What are you doing?
400
00:35:48,482 --> 00:35:52,319
fine, that suits me,
you'll end up trash anyway
401
00:35:53,529 --> 00:35:56,531
just like your parents
402
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:10,921
So I left
403
00:36:14,133 --> 00:36:20,472
you wanna go get your staff ?
or you'll leave me here alone
404
00:36:24,143 --> 00:36:26,687
do anyone of us bargain for our life
405
00:36:27,187 --> 00:36:29,481
it seems to me that we're just gonna fall into them
406
00:36:29,481 --> 00:36:32,192
and then we have to do the bets we can
Let's go!!
407
00:36:33,527 --> 00:36:36,947
My mother was dying,
my father was gone
408
00:36:37,906 --> 00:36:41,869
but I had to believe that I the road
would rise up to meet me
409
00:36:43,662 --> 00:36:46,582
I was 15 years, when I wen out of door
410
00:36:53,755 --> 00:36:59,678
What is a home anyway,
a roof, bed
411
00:37:01,221 --> 00:37:05,350
A place when where you go there
they have to take you
412
00:37:06,518 --> 00:37:10,397
If so, I was 15 years
when I became homeless
413
00:37:10,397 --> 00:37:12,649
You get some change?
Get a job
414
00:37:17,529 --> 00:37:19,573
how are you doing tonight?
415
00:37:21,992 --> 00:37:24,661
Good bless you kid
416
00:37:29,875 --> 00:37:31,752
spend some changes
417
00:37:42,930 --> 00:37:46,683
Sometimes I felt I had
neverhad a home in my life
418
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:05,953
Bring it on
419
00:38:31,019 --> 00:38:33,230
Let's go
420
00:38:52,791 --> 00:38:55,794
what are you doing!
come back here
421
00:39:00,757 --> 00:39:07,264
At other times I knew
where ever my mother was
that's where my home was
422
00:39:42,883 --> 00:39:45,219
oh god!!
423
00:39:48,138 --> 00:39:52,684
but month by month she was fading away
424
00:39:54,603 --> 00:39:56,188
Liz ...
425
00:39:58,315 --> 00:40:00,234
yeah!
426
00:40:03,654 --> 00:40:05,823
where did you go?
427
00:40:05,823 --> 00:40:08,700
I've been staying with friends
428
00:40:13,497 --> 00:40:15,958
I miss you
429
00:40:20,712 --> 00:40:25,008
paps! he hit me and you know
430
00:40:26,427 --> 00:40:28,804
I couldn't stay here
431
00:40:28,804 --> 00:40:30,389
Alright
432
00:40:33,350 --> 00:40:37,938
Look! your sister told me that you
stopped going to school
433
00:40:37,938 --> 00:40:40,440
I'm gonna go back
434
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,484
when?
435
00:40:44,278 --> 00:40:48,031
when you get better
436
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:55,998
They tease me
437
00:40:55,998 --> 00:41:02,504
they tease me at the bar cause I shake
438
00:41:02,504 --> 00:41:06,049
I can't stop shaking
439
00:41:07,885 --> 00:41:12,347
I think it is becuase of the drinking
440
00:41:12,347 --> 00:41:14,558
you should propably stop
441
00:41:16,059 --> 00:41:19,479
Ok, ok ..
442
00:41:27,529 --> 00:41:29,573
you're gonna get better
443
00:41:43,670 --> 00:41:46,673
I love you, mom
444
00:41:48,675 --> 00:41:50,052
mom
445
00:41:51,303 --> 00:41:53,805
I love you
446
00:42:17,162 --> 00:42:20,332
get over there
447
00:42:29,675 --> 00:42:31,468
sorry!
448
00:42:43,105 --> 00:42:46,108
- Look out!!
- Stop
449
00:42:52,030 --> 00:42:57,536
hey guys, wait up
I'll catch you later I'm just gonna ...
450
00:42:57,953 --> 00:42:59,329
Bye
451
00:43:01,123 --> 00:43:02,374
mom
452
00:43:08,463 --> 00:43:10,883
We took up a collection
453
00:43:13,802 --> 00:43:17,014
she isn't coming here anymore
becuase she always think you're laughing at
454
00:43:17,014 --> 00:43:23,270
she's dead honey
she died yesterday morning
455
00:44:22,955 --> 00:44:27,501
Sometimes I feel that there is
a skin on the world
456
00:44:27,793 --> 00:44:31,797
and those of us who were born under it
can see through it
457
00:44:32,881 --> 00:44:35,259
we just can't get through it
458
00:44:45,811 --> 00:44:49,982
My mother was being buried in section 51
the charity plot
459
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,489
My mother was in there,
strangers had put her in there
460
00:44:57,948 --> 00:45:03,954
was she naked, was she frightent
no, she was gone
461
00:45:03,954 --> 00:45:07,249
come on, let's go
No, wait a minute
462
00:45:08,042 --> 00:45:11,795
there should be a service,
there should be a priest,
what supposed to happen?
463
00:45:11,795 --> 00:45:14,465
When you go, we're gonna burry you,
that's all
464
00:45:14,465 --> 00:45:15,966
it's a she
465
00:45:18,093 --> 00:45:19,136
it is my mother
466
00:45:19,136 --> 00:45:23,348
- There is no priest?
- Not in these cases, you did know that?
467
00:45:23,348 --> 00:45:27,060
she is dead,
put her in the ground
468
00:45:30,397 --> 00:45:38,822
Priest or no priest, what does it matter,
she was gone, she was already rutting
469
00:45:39,031 --> 00:45:40,699
sorry
470
00:45:40,699 --> 00:45:45,370
as I suppose to believe she had found
a turnal Peace
471
00:45:52,461 --> 00:45:54,713
you Coming with us?
472
00:45:57,466 --> 00:45:59,760
will you just go?
473
00:46:03,513 --> 00:46:05,224
Hey, wait
474
00:47:12,916 --> 00:47:15,127
Ok ..
475
00:47:22,301 --> 00:47:24,094
let us get out of here, okay?
476
00:47:27,055 --> 00:47:35,439
Liz, you know ... I just .. I can't
I can't do this anymore.
you know.. so, I'm going
477
00:47:36,732 --> 00:47:38,358
Where?
478
00:47:39,693 --> 00:47:41,278
group home
479
00:47:41,278 --> 00:47:43,155
A crazy house
480
00:47:44,823 --> 00:47:48,702
You know Liz, it's this, this ???
this is crazy
481
00:47:51,747 --> 00:47:54,500
you should Come with me
482
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:04,593
yeah, so see you around
483
00:48:15,646 --> 00:48:19,358
People died,
things decayed
484
00:48:20,901 --> 00:48:24,238
everything that seems so solid
is meaning less
485
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:29,618
all that we left
is the gestures we make
486
00:48:30,577 --> 00:48:34,706
gestures in air,
that's what we remember
487
00:48:35,332 --> 00:48:37,668
I remember riding with my mother
through the leaves
488
00:48:37,751 --> 00:48:45,509
the year ending put her arms around me,
when I was little,
and she was well
489
00:48:46,051 --> 00:48:47,886
that was long ago,
490
00:48:48,095 --> 00:48:50,264
maybe it only happened once
491
00:48:50,347 --> 00:48:56,395
mybe she betrayed me a thousand times
it didn't matter
Math will always be as a subject
492
00:48:56,895 --> 00:48:58,522
we remember what we choose
493
00:48:59,064 --> 00:49:01,525
get out of there!
494
00:49:13,495 --> 00:49:15,873
Where you gonna put the stone?
495
00:49:16,039 --> 00:49:19,209
there's no stones here ,
there's no room
496
00:49:24,298 --> 00:49:27,634
In a week
there would be no trace over
497
00:49:27,634 --> 00:49:35,476
but what did it matter,
this wasn't the real world,
and we really live in each others hearts
498
00:50:24,358 --> 00:50:30,823
She lived in my heart,
but I live nowhere,
I was all alone in the world
499
00:50:35,869 --> 00:50:38,455
You are 16 years old with an 8th grade education
500
00:50:39,123 --> 00:50:43,168
and when you are down the world spiral
that will end in the worst place
than you ever dreamed
501
00:50:44,461 --> 00:50:47,923
you've burned every bridge,
you're ran out of every welcome
502
00:50:48,590 --> 00:50:52,844
an everyone who has ever believe in you
you have let down
503
00:50:56,598 --> 00:50:58,308
Eva?
504
00:51:06,608 --> 00:51:11,071
I don't want to be an idiot,
I want to go to school
505
00:51:52,154 --> 00:51:55,616
- Yes
- Hi, I am ELisabeth Murray,
I have an appointment
506
00:51:56,575 --> 00:51:59,745
at 9:30,
it's 10:30
507
00:52:00,746 --> 00:52:03,832
I'm Sorry, the subway got stucked
I'm sorry too ,but it's really late
508
00:52:06,335 --> 00:52:13,050
The school started 3 weeks ago
we are just about full
kids get on time here honey
509
00:52:15,510 --> 00:52:21,517
I read the brochure intensive
Student participation for the Development
of injust community calendar
510
00:52:23,894 --> 00:52:26,730
I just need one chance
511
00:52:28,982 --> 00:52:34,571
You can wait and talk to David,
but he got this meeting right after
512
00:52:55,384 --> 00:52:57,886
I knew at that moment I had to make a choice
513
00:52:57,886 --> 00:53:02,349
I could submit to everything that was happening
and live a life of execuses
514
00:53:02,349 --> 00:53:09,565
or I could push myself,
I can push myself
and make my life good
515
00:53:29,084 --> 00:53:33,630
- We'll get to you back on Friday.
- Ok, thank you
it's a pleasure guys
516
00:53:36,049 --> 00:53:37,509
- Elisabeth
- Liz
517
00:53:37,509 --> 00:53:40,053
Liz I am sorry, we are making
our last decision and I'm already late
518
00:53:40,345 --> 00:53:42,764
can I just talk to you for a minute ? 30 seconds?
519
00:53:44,558 --> 00:53:46,477
well, there's the application,
and the whole big eassy question
520
00:53:46,477 --> 00:53:50,606
I've already done the eassy
I really want this
521
00:53:57,946 --> 00:54:04,995
I haven't had a lot of gown ups that
proved to be trust worthy
or in it for the long run .. so...
522
00:54:04,995 --> 00:54:08,832
Maybe I don't know how to talk to you
523
00:54:08,832 --> 00:54:17,090
My parents both use drugs, alot of them,
I won't go near them, but ...
I guess I've kind of lived that life style
524
00:54:17,090 --> 00:54:21,345
I'm embareced now, not how late back I've been
I mean...
525
00:54:21,345 --> 00:54:24,431
I've really never been in school
except for the 8th grade, but...
526
00:54:24,431 --> 00:54:26,558
but your grades are very good
to enter school
527
00:54:26,558 --> 00:54:31,021
I used to show up last week
and take the test,
and that's how I got promoted
528
00:54:32,147 --> 00:54:37,110
I'm smart, I know I can succeed,
I just need a chance
529
00:54:37,110 --> 00:54:43,450
I need the chance
I need the chance to climb out of the place
I've born in, I mean...
530
00:54:44,076 --> 00:54:49,248
Everyone I know they just, angry, tired
they are trying to survive
531
00:54:51,166 --> 00:54:56,672
But I know that there is a world out there that's ..
better!! that's...
532
00:54:56,672 --> 00:55:02,427
better developed and...
I wanna live in it
533
00:55:02,427 --> 00:55:03,428
Why now?
534
00:55:07,266 --> 00:55:12,187
My mother died of AIDS, she died couple of months ago
and ...
535
00:55:13,605 --> 00:55:16,859
it was real ..
slap in the face
536
00:55:19,987 --> 00:55:23,782
I guess I always thought that
she was gonna get better
and take care of me ..
537
00:55:26,118 --> 00:55:28,162
it's prety stupid, huh?
538
00:55:29,121 --> 00:55:32,750
You had never take care of me,
I took care of her ..
539
00:55:34,418 --> 00:55:36,253
she was my baby
540
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:42,843
but now she's gone ..
so ..
541
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,221

542
00:55:49,349 --> 00:55:51,351

557
00:57:11,515 --> 00:57:14,017
Why, this is not a normal school?

00:57:31,952 --> 00:57:35,914

578
00:58:31,929 --> 00:58:34,515

she's a feminist

00:58:34,515 --> 00:58:36,558
I knew you excpected that already
580
00:58:36,558 --> 00:58:41,438
her mother was actually beautiful,
like a movie star but..
aher mother was also kind of feminist
581
00:58:41,438 --> 00:58:42,439
or something like that
582
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:49,738
Anyway I thought when I met her
she was just, you know ... spirited

01:10:20,429 --> 01:10:24,433
- you okay, Liz?
- Yes
698
01:10:24,433 --> 01:10:27,811
I've just was always been trash, you know..
699
01:10:27,811 --> 01:10:31,523
You are not trash
700
01:10:31,523 --> 01:10:35,360
This is to get you thinking about college
701
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:39,323
- what's college like
- it's all crap, shut up!
702
01:10:39,323 --> 01:10:42,576
You can come too
Can't she?
703
01:10:42,576 --> 01:10:45,788
sure, if she does the work
704
01:10:45,788 --> 01:10:49,500
come on chris
dream a little,
what do you wanna be when you grow up?
705
01:10:49,500 --> 01:10:52,210
boy,
I was grown since I was 7
706
01:10:52,210 --> 01:10:55,297
- Chris ...
- I mean after high school, it's okay
707
01:10:55,297 --> 01:11:00,302
No, it's not okay
I'll be a garbage man, I'll be a prostitute
708
01:11:05,933 --> 01:11:08,310
who cares what the hell I'm gonna be?
709
01:11:15,609 --> 01:11:18,487
Welcome to Harvard guys
710
01:11:43,887 --> 01:11:47,933
So, does it looks like you though it would?
711
01:11:47,933 --> 01:11:52,562
Better, definitely better
712
01:11:52,562 --> 01:11:56,817
Liz, they're just people
713
01:11:56,817 --> 01:11:58,944
Not people like me
714
01:12:00,779 --> 01:12:05,743
Why not people like me?
What made them so different?
715
01:12:05,743 --> 01:12:07,244
becuase of the way they were born?
716
01:12:10,998 --> 01:12:15,210
I was working as hard as I could so
so I didn't end up as food stamps
or hustling
717
01:12:17,170 --> 01:12:21,884
What if .. what if I worked even more?
718
01:12:22,009 --> 01:12:28,223
I was so close to this skin
that I can touch it
719
01:12:36,148 --> 01:12:41,361
It would be a reach,
it's not impossible
720
01:12:49,078 --> 01:12:54,166
- dona, there any other scholarships?
- yea,it's quite a few
721
01:12:54,166 --> 01:13:01,381
Write 1500 words about the importance
of the free market in the free world
and win $ 500
722
01:13:01,381 --> 01:13:06,011
yea, I would need only 70 of those, every year
723
01:13:06,011 --> 01:13:11,183
Ah, there was something brand new
from the newyork time,
maybe I didn't put them in yet
724
01:13:12,184 --> 01:13:13,602
725
01:13:19,149 --> 01:13:24,488
- $ 12,000
every year for 4 years!
- What do you have to do?
726
01:13:25,405 --> 01:13:30,536
Attach a brief eassy describing
what you believe to be the most
significant academic achievement
727
01:13:30,577 --> 01:13:36,041
and how you have overcome any challenges
tor obstacles
728
01:13:36,041 --> 01:13:39,127
can I have copy of this?
729
01:13:39,127 --> 01:13:44,299
I want to stand beside the people
in the sidewalk not be so far
beneath them
730
01:13:44,299 --> 01:13:53,475
I wanna go to Harvard,
and become very developed
read all the bets books
731
01:13:53,475 --> 01:13:57,104
Then I find myself thinking:
if I just go crazy?
732
01:13:57,104 --> 01:14:01,775
even lose every *** of my potential
to do that
733
01:14:04,236 --> 01:14:07,990
I have to do it,
I have no choice
734
01:14:11,201 --> 01:14:15,247
- Am I late?
- No, I'm early
735
01:14:15,247 --> 01:14:21,044
- I made you some coffee
one sweet ***, right?
- Right!
736
01:14:26,633 --> 01:14:29,386
Thank you
737
01:14:29,386 --> 01:14:32,681
Can I have a stamp for this?
738
01:14:32,681 --> 01:14:35,976
that's the New York Times schoolarship!
you haven't mailed it yet?
739
01:14:35,976 --> 01:14:39,271
- When is the dead line?
- Tomorrow
740
01:14:39,271 --> 01:14:42,899
I gave you that 4 months ago, Liz!
What were you waiting for?
741
01:14:42,899 --> 01:14:46,778
for today,
for me to turn 18
742
01:14:46,778 --> 01:14:47,779
it's your birthday?
743
01:14:49,948 --> 01:14:52,868
Happy birthday!
744
01:14:52,868 --> 01:14:55,412
but I don't think that an age required
745
01:14:55,412 --> 01:14:59,583
No, Thank you
746
01:14:59,583 --> 01:15:05,881
but now I can tell the truth,
that I was a homeless
and no one could come and take me away
747
01:15:23,231 --> 01:15:25,776
Lisa
748
01:15:27,611 --> 01:15:29,655
Liz!
749
01:15:29,655 --> 01:15:30,656
Yes
750
01:15:30,823 --> 01:15:34,201
What are you doing here?
751
01:15:34,201 --> 01:15:40,916
I have this interview
I am a finalist for a big
New York times scholarship
752
01:15:41,333 --> 01:15:45,712
But, I don't have anything to wear
753
01:15:45,712 --> 01:15:47,089
you want my cloth?
754
01:15:47,089 --> 01:15:53,011
Well, nothing fancy
it's just .. something I can put over this
755
01:16:04,064 --> 01:16:05,899
Thank you
756
01:16:07,609 --> 01:16:12,364
Mom sold my coat once
I couldn't go to school
757
01:16:13,490 --> 01:16:15,451
I remember
758
01:16:15,451 --> 01:16:19,705
I cried,
I love going to school so much
759
01:16:21,582 --> 01:16:24,459
you never went to school
760
01:16:24,459 --> 01:16:27,963
how did they gave you the scholarship?
761
01:16:30,257 --> 01:16:33,510
because I'm homeless
and I'm doing really well in school now
762
01:16:33,594 --> 01:16:37,973
You are not a homeless, Liz,
you could stay here
763
01:16:39,767 --> 01:16:44,771
No I couldn't,
you know that ...
764
01:16:44,771 --> 01:16:46,898
Grandpap hates you !!
765
01:16:52,946 --> 01:16:55,032
I'm going blind
766
01:16:56,992 --> 01:16:59,286
like Mom
767
01:17:01,330 --> 01:17:04,333
I'm scared
768
01:17:31,944 --> 01:17:33,153
Liz!
769
01:17:34,238 --> 01:17:37,116
Liz, they kicked me out of the group home
with all my stuff
770
01:17:37,116 --> 01:17:38,742
They can't kick you out
you are not 18 years
771
01:17:38,742 --> 01:17:43,330
then group with me in Brooklin,
I don't wan to go to Brooklin!
You have to help me!
772
01:17:43,330 --> 01:17:44,540
I have an interview
773
01:17:44,540 --> 01:17:46,875
- No! Liz!
- I have to!
774
01:17:46,875 --> 01:17:48,919
- You can not leave
- I have to
775
01:17:48,919 --> 01:17:51,421
Chris!
776
01:17:51,421 --> 01:17:55,259
just let me go through this one thing,
and then you can go back and go to school with me
777
01:17:55,259 --> 01:17:58,595
I don't want to go to school!
I don't belong there,
and either do you
778
01:17:58,595 --> 01:18:01,181
Yes, I do
779
01:18:01,181 --> 01:18:04,268
you think they like people like us into harvard
780
01:18:44,308 --> 01:18:52,024
The world moves,
you just a spec.,
it can all happen without you
781
01:18:52,024 --> 01:18:55,986
situations are not conducive
to what you want for yourself
782
01:18:55,986 --> 01:19:01,366
someone else's needs
someone else's plat
is going to be stronger than yours is
783
01:19:01,366 --> 01:19:05,579
I think people just get frustrated
with how harsh life can be
784
01:19:05,579 --> 01:19:11,293
So they spend their time
** on that frustrations
and calling it anger
785
01:19:11,293 --> 01:19:16,006
keeping their eyes shut
from the wholes situation
786
01:19:16,006 --> 01:19:21,804
to all the little tiny things
that have come together to make it
what it is?
787
01:19:24,515 --> 01:19:28,602
because I was turn so inward
by my Mom and Dad, I got a chance to see how
788
01:19:28,602 --> 01:19:34,775
all the litle tiny things
come together to make the final product
789
01:19:34,775 --> 01:19:41,323
so, I was never ** to wonder
why this or why that
790
01:19:41,323 --> 01:19:43,909
I knew why
791
01:19:43,909 --> 01:19:48,831
not that I was happy about it,
in fact I was really sad about it most of the time
792
01:19:48,831 --> 01:19:50,541
but I was very accepting
793
01:19:52,209 --> 01:19:55,295
I was very accepting
794
01:19:55,295 --> 01:20:01,051
I just always knew that I needed to get out
795
01:20:01,593 --> 01:20:04,930
Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
796
01:20:07,307 --> 01:20:09,143
I loved my mother,
797
01:20:09,143 --> 01:20:11,228
so much .. I mean
798
01:20:11,228 --> 01:20:16,066
She was a drug addict,
was an alcholic
799
01:20:16,066 --> 01:20:20,070
she was legally blind
she was schizophrenic
800
01:20:21,488 --> 01:20:23,282
But ..
801
01:20:23,282 --> 01:20:28,328
I never forget
that .. she did love me
802
01:20:31,999 --> 01:20:34,418
even if she did,
803
01:20:35,210 --> 01:20:36,211
All the time,
804
01:20:38,463 --> 01:20:40,465
All the time,
805
01:20:42,134 --> 01:20:44,845
All the time ...
806
01:20:51,935 --> 01:20:56,356
I hope you all know
how much I really need this
807
01:20:56,356 --> 01:21:01,612
how I can't go to college or anything without it
808
01:21:48,492 --> 01:21:52,788
she earned a 95 average and finished
at the top of her class of 150
809
01:21:52,788 --> 01:21:55,791
she did alot completly 4 years high school
in 2
810
01:21:55,791 --> 01:21:58,377
she did it while homeless
811
01:21:58,377 --> 01:22:02,005
her mother is dead
her father is a drug addict and living in shelters
812
01:22:02,005 --> 01:22:04,633
and anyway I can describe
this can't do justice to her accomplishments
813
01:22:04,633 --> 01:22:09,096
So, I'll just introduce to you
our sixths New York time schoolarship winner
814
01:22:09,096 --> 01:22:10,723
Liz Murray
815
01:22:19,773 --> 01:22:22,651
everything is changed,
816
01:22:22,651 --> 01:22:25,654
my life will never be the same
817
01:22:25,654 --> 01:22:32,077
and I don't know what else to say except for thank you
thank you very much
818
01:22:32,077 --> 01:22:36,498
Liz!
Liz, how did you do this?
819
01:22:36,498 --> 01:22:41,378
How could I not do it ..
my parents showed me
what the alternative was
820
01:22:41,378 --> 01:22:43,380
Didn't you even feel sorry for yourself
821
01:22:43,547 --> 01:22:44,631
Sorry?
822
01:22:44,631 --> 01:22:48,719
Sleeping in the subway,
eating out of dumpsters
823
01:22:48,719 --> 01:22:52,556
that had always been my life
824
01:22:52,556 --> 01:22:58,979
I really .. I feel that I get lucky
because any sensive security
825
01:22:58,979 --> 01:23:02,733
awas pulled out from under
so I was forced to look forward
826
01:23:02,733 --> 01:23:06,403
I had to ,
there was no going back
827
01:23:06,403 --> 01:23:09,323
And I reached the point
I just thought: Alrigth,
828
01:23:09,323 --> 01:23:15,704
I'm gonna work as hard as I possibly can
and see what happens
829
01:23:15,704 --> 01:23:18,666
And .. now I'm going to college
830
01:23:19,041 --> 01:23:22,753
and the New York Times
is going to pay
831
01:23:25,505 --> 01:23:33,430
So you were lucky ... but
is there anything you change
if you were able?
832
01:23:33,806 --> 01:23:35,599
Yes
833
01:23:38,435 --> 01:23:40,896
I'd give it back
834
01:23:41,188 --> 01:23:42,397
All of it
835
01:23:44,983 --> 01:23:48,195
If I could have my family back
836
01:23:53,408 --> 01:23:55,577
I got into harvard,
837
01:23:55,577 --> 01:23:57,454
I got a job at the New York Times,
838
01:23:57,663 --> 01:24:00,249
I got an apartment
839
01:24:00,249 --> 01:24:03,293
I don't have to carry my whole life with me any more
840
01:24:04,336 --> 01:24:07,089
I don't have to carry my whole life with me
841
01:24:07,881 --> 01:24:09,716
but I do ...
842
01:24:11,343 --> 01:24:14,930
Every one I have known,
Everything I have done
843
01:24:14,930 --> 01:24:19,643
pieces chip off,
I forget the little things
844
01:24:22,604 --> 01:24:25,732
I had still hard to carry
845
01:24:26,942 --> 01:24:28,569
alone
846
01:24:29,945 --> 01:24:32,531
so that's why I told you so,
847
01:24:32,531 --> 01:24:34,700
