All language subtitles for Bellyfruit Full Movie The Asylum 1999

I wasn't thinking about having a baby
when I was having sex.

I was thinking about sex when I was
having sex.

I was thinking it was all romantic.

Like happily ever after, you know?

I was thinking I finally got something
good.

It's all mine.

Bye.

Bye.

Too young to drink, I got a fake ID, but
my body's old enough to have a child to

see.

Being female in this world is crazy
24-7. I know if I have to, I can handle

whatever. Even if it lasts till forever,
it can happen in just one night.

For the rest of your life, you gotta get
everything right.

Be my baby, be my baby.

Be my baby, be my baby.

Thank you.

Yeah, maybe like that.

My mom loved us.

She just messed up.

They took us away from her, and my
sister Toya got adopted right off

because she's younger.

I've been in like 20 homes in four
years.

They keep moving me around saying I'm
difficult.

Nobody wants me too long, but I don't
care. I never want to stay anyway.

They keep trying to figure out what's
wrong with me.

ADHD?

No.

IED.

Okay. They say I got low self-esteem
because my mom's an addict.

But if all these other folks be messing
up my life now... I'll talk to you

later, Shanika.

Bye.

Let's go to your room.

You new?

Yeah.

You a virgin?

You touch me, I'll kill you.

Everybody, this is Shanika.

This is Rosa, Tiffany, Jay, Keisha. We
already met.

And Madison.

Okay, let me tell you how things run
around here.

Lights out is at 10.

Breakfast is at 7. You clean your room
before you go to school.

Bring home a signed progress report from
all your teachers.

Homework is at 4.

Dinner is at 6.

This is the chore list. You take over
where it says Allison.

So that means tomorrow night, you're on
kitchen duty.

So I'm Allison now.

Shanika, I know it's not easy.

But in a few days, I'll adjust. And if I
ever need anything or have any problems,

feel free to come and talk to you. And
now you're going to ask me if I need a

toothbrush, and I do.

That lady's all happy I'm here.

Why, what level are you?

Eight.

I'm only a six.

She's making a heap of cash off you,
girl.

They all are.

You get violent?

Only if somebody piss me off.

Yeah, me too.

How long you been here?

About six months.

I ain't never lasted nowhere that long.

Well, my auntie keeps saying she's
coming to get me, but she don't ever

show.

That's whack.

I'm gonna move back in with my mom, you
know, as soon as she works some things

out.

My mom hung herself.

That's fucked up.

Yeah, I'm used to it by now.

Hey, Kelly.

It's me, Christina.

Where'd you go?

You said you were going to be home.

I wonder where you are.

Whoa.

I'm watching a really, really old movie
about two sisters.

i guess like one of them's evil and the
other one's in a wheelchair or some oh

my god

so

where

are you well just call me when you get
this message okay bye

Alec, you suck.

You were supposed to call me on Friday
and it's Sunday.

It's fucked up.

Well, I don't know. I'm just chilling at
home. So, you know, you should call me

up. I have some chronic.

And guess what?

I'm smoking it.

You know, I thought you were just going
to ask me first before you go into my

stuff. It's fine.

I bought that.

Don't spend money to get your own pop.

You do.

It's different.

Did you sleep in here?

Yeah.

Why?

I don't know.

I thought you were coming home on
Saturday.

Last night I started watching this
freaky movie and it made me all

paranoid.

So I fell asleep in here.

It's the only door in the house with a
lock.

Sorry, baby. I should call.

Oh, my God.

I need some coffee.

I need food.

Do you want to go out for breakfast?

What about school?

Don't worry about it.

I haven't seen you all weekend.

Well, you have to write me a late note.

Sure.

Cool.

Frank. Not only is he gorgeous, he plays
guitar.

You know, I can't resist a guy.

Is he a good kisser? Oh, my God.

You don't even know. He's, like,
perfect.

I think I'm in love.

So you told him about me?

Are you gonna get pancakes, Duncan?

Mom. What?

Did you tell him about me?

Not yet.

Just don't tell him I'm your sister.

Fine.

I'll tell him you're my, uh, personal...
trainer then my

mom had me when she was 16 and my dad
refused to marry her

now all the guys she dates are total
sleazebags when I was like 10 one of

them tried to rape me or something and
my mom walked in she freaked out so bad

the police had to come and they almost
arrested her next time it happened I

just didn't tell her

You ready for me to do your hair?

Mija, we're going to have to get you a
new bra soon.

No,

you're going to rip it like that.

When was your last fitting?

I don't know, a couple of weeks ago.

What have you been eating?

Silly, silly.

Que paso?

I'm getting fat, I guess.

If Eddie ain't ready by the time I'm
dressed, we are going to leave without

him.

What now?

The day my parents found out, I was
supposed to come out with my cousin, but

I never made it.

Did he get violent?

Not so bad, but he wouldn't let me stay
if I keep on seeing you.

Well, then you don't got to stay there.
You can stay with me and Lucky.

There ain't enough room.

Well, we're just going to be there until
we can save some money up.

And then we can get our own place, all
right?

Oscar, I don't have any money.

Don't worry.

I just started getting freelance jobs.

I just started on a truck today.

I mean, as soon as I get enough of
those, and then I could get a job at

some garage.

You don't got to worry.

It ain't going to take long. By the time
the baby comes, we're going to be there,

all right?

You mean it?

I love you.

For real.

I love you too, Oscar.

My dad hated Oscar because he looked
like a gangbanger.

But he wasn't into that anymore.

And he treated me so nice.

He picked me up after school.

He took me to the mall.

One time he even bought me roses.

What's another way to show love without
actually having sex you could buy

somebody candy

is so lame.

Yeah. You ain't back in me for no lousy
piece of taco, you heard her say. Okay,

you better get me a new car. I'm
checking in.

I'm new.

Why don't you grab a book from the back
and have a seat right there, Shanika.

Damn, girl.

Shut up, crack baby.

Bitch, I ain't no crack. Mommy.

One more word out of you and you've got
detention.

How you feeling, girl?

I was at the doctor.

It's a boy.

outfit they had little lace things in
the top and settle down okay okay can

i see a show of hands how many of you
guys think you're gonna wait until

you're at least 18 to have sex oh yeah
you ain't a virgin none of y'all

versions nothing against you angela but
not everybody in the school is a hoochie

that's what i'm talking about

Actually give them to me.

I sort of took them.

But she'll never notice. You know how
many extra packs she has.

Aren't you supposed to check with the
doctor or something?

Shh!

Doctors are a rip-off.

Besides, we're saving to go to Club Med.

Shh!

You missed two white or light blue
active pills in a row in week one or

two. Take two pills on the day you
remember and two pills the next day.

You may become pregnant if you have sex
in seven days after you miss the pills.

Shit.

The serious side of the effects of the
pill occur infrequently.

However, some medical conditions have
been associated with or made worse by

the pill.

These include high blood pressure, blood
clots, and cancer of the breast.

Women who smoke are at greatest risk.

Blah, blah.

Blah, blah.

That guy I was dancing with was so fun.

Sally, there were so many cute guys.

It has to be the best Quinceana I've
ever been to. It looks like it was

great. Sally,

you going to the game today?

No, I got a doctor's appointment at
four.

I was supposed to be here already. You
picked me up.

Did you get sick again?

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to leave
school soon.

I'm bleeding a little bit too.

That's scary. Go.

Practice is going to start in two
minutes.

Hope your appointment goes okay, cuz.
See ya.

I get you set when you put your face
like that.

What you want?

Hey, I see a beautiful woman walking by
all by herself, you know.

Maybe. I went here.

I was on football today.

So you live around here?

Maybe.

Well, you should kick it here more
often, girl.

Why?

What's in it for me? Well, me.

And who are you?

Feast your eyes on one of the dopest...
Ball players around.

No.

I'm just trying to impress you, girl,
but it looks like it ain't working.

spoil you.

Don't you want a man spoiling you?

Maybe. Good.

You know that, baby?

I told you.

What, babe? Oh, shit!

Her water just broke, motherfucker!

What do you mean, babe? At the hospital,
my contractions got real bad.

I didn't know how to breathe right, and
I kept screaming when I was supposed to

be pushing.

I got so scared, I started praying.

A half hour later, he just came out.

And that's when we named him Angel.

I can't believe, homie, he's faster than
you.

Shout out, though. Fucking young, and
he's faster than you.

That old man beat you to the lunch? Shut
the fuck up.

I can't, homie.

Smiley, homie.

Smiley!

Hey, am I supposed to get some skills?

What's up, man? What's happening,
Smiley?

business ain't working?

Yeah, you're homie for me, man.
Congratulations.

You need some extra.

All right.

And the velvet one, too.

That's my favorite.

Well, you don't have to wear this shirt.

Ain't no game, he's too old for that.

You better watch your back, girl.

Come and find out you see an older guy,

That's your man! Oh, he's got a car.

Yep.

Well, you can ditch and come kick it

Breaking my heart already.

Well, you can come and get me after
lunch at like 1.

I don't got to be that busy.

All right, then. I'll pick you up.

Okay. But pick me up around the corner

Okay, wait.

You better be there. Oh, I'll be there.

Even your feet smell good. They do?

Women chase kids. It feeds.

It takes care of itself.

You know what I'm saying?

And it's clean.

I took a shower this morning.

Well, let me inspect.

You like that?

Mm-hmm.

You like that?

Mm-hmm.

Uh,

Damon, I just met you. Hey, hey, hey, I
understand.

I understand.

It's just that I really like you.

And I knew from the moment I saw you.

Which is why...

I bought you something special today.

Hope you like it.

It's nice.

Try it on.

Hey. Hey.

How you doing?

Good.

What do you think?

It's nice.

It's real fancy.

It's way better money. After six months,
we're going to have, like, health

insurance. It's going to change
everything for us.

Speaking of... What for?

To buy things.

Don't give me attitude, Christina. I
just gave you ten and you bought junk

food. And where's my change, huh?

That's when you get pie and a shake.

I'm hungry.

Well, just don't get fat.

You have a cute little bod, you know.

You'd look after me.

Green Realty.

Jack will transfer you.

So, I need some money.

You know, for the weekend, when you
leave with whoever, you're going to...

He works here.

His name is Lou.

He's taking me to Palm Springs.

Wow.

Okay, well, here's 40.

All I have.

Thank you.

Have a good weekend.

What's up?

Hi!

What's up?

Hey!

All right.

Last time I took one, and I tripped
really fast. The second time I took two,

and I tripped so much harder. It was a
lot more fun.

I think I should take two.

But you got to be in a really good
mindset.

Here's to being young and fucked up.

Kisses over to me.

Kisses my neck real slow.

Lifts me up and carries me. He carried
you?

Mm-hmm.

He's buff, too. You making me all wet.
Shut up! You're spoiling my memory,

Lesbo.

Then he lays me on the bed real nice.

Pumps your ass dog style.

you like it don't mean everybody else do
you should be careful he's got

experience he knows his shit okay yeah i
bet he do besides he wants

me to move in with him so you can just
kiss my ass he said that he did

What's that?

That gassy.

The doctor says it just happens with
some babies.

All right with you?

Come on. Get up. Let's go. Let's go.

He wants to meet you.

Be nice.

Okay?

Tina, this is Lou.

Lou, this is my daughter, Christina.

Hiya, Chrissy.

You're right, Diane. She's a real cutie.

Takes after her mother.

Give me just a second. Okay.

So, I hear you're a sophomore in high
school.

Mm-hmm.

Mom, before you leave... I have a
daughter your same age.

She likes to wear those baggy clothes,
too.

But she gets straight A's, so I can't
complain.

Thanks for sharing.

Usually she dresses like a little slut.

Mom! Just kidding, God.

It's not a joke.

Okay, we gotta go. We're gonna hit
traffic. Here, babe.

Bye, sweetheart.

I'll see you when I see you, Chrissy.

Ew.

Oscar, you got a screwdriver?

What for?

Credit's mom gave me the stroller and
the wheels all messed up.

Because it's a piece of shit, that's
why.

Nah, no kid of mine has been around at
night.

I know one cost over $100. You got that?

That's a damn ripple.

Well, I'm great on breaks and
commissions.

Right now, all we need is an AC, man,
but if something opens up, I'll give you

a call.

I'll give it to him, but if he never
works at a shop, I doubt he's going to

hire you. He's real strict about that.

Well, I've been freelancing a lot,
though.

Oh, I believe you. He won't. He needs
references.

What's up?

Still colicky?

No, he's getting better.

You want a Coke or something?

No, no, nada, Sally. I only have a few
minutes.

Okay, your brother moved out, and we
have plenty of room, so I talked to your

papi about you moving back, and he said
it's okay, but he don't want Oscar.

Then I ain't moving back.

Ay, Dios mio, Sally, you can't live here
with a baby.

We're gonna get our own place soon.

Sally, por favor. You said that four
months ago.

I've just come close to a couple of
jobs.

Yeah, well, clothes ain't gonna fit your
baby.

You think about it, hmm?

Please. Man, that bitch has fake
titties, though. They were big as hell,

though, dog.

Oh, hola, senora. Como esta?

I don't know.

I'll walk you out.

Your ten minutes are up, Shanika. They
can't just take you away like that. What

about me?

Time's up, Shanika. I don't care. This
is important.

If you don't hang up that phone now, I
will hang it up for you.

I gotta go.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Okay, you too.

You don't treat the phone like that in
this house.

I gotta make another call.

You get ten minutes on the phone every
night. Miss Duncan, I gotta call my

caseworker.

Oh, okay.

Make it fast, and I mean fast.

Hello?

This is Shanika.

No, I am not fine. Why don't you tell me
Toya's moving 400 fucking miles away?

Can I at least see her? I'll freak out
if I don't.

Can I see my sister on Saturday?

I can't take you.

Can you drive me?

She said, yeah.

All right, then.

Okay. I see you then.

Thank you.

Man, that is so messed up.

Are you going to be all right?

Mm-hmm.

You sure?

I said, yeah.

Helen, stop.

What? I have a question.

Remember when we got together?

Yeah. Is that the last week of
September?

My period's really late, and I think I
might be pregnant.

I didn't say it was definitely you.

I'm not asking you to pay for that
thing.

I just need to be pretty well. Thank
you.

Just do me a favor and don't tell anyone
I'm pregnant. I only miss, like, I don't

know, like two periods or something.

Do you get your periods regularly?

Yeah.

Well, wait, I don't really know. Like, I
don't keep track.

Well, I would say you're 23, 24 weeks
along.

So?

That's six months.

What?

An abortion this close to the third
trimester is not recommended, especially

at your age.

No, what do you mean not recommended?

I have to get an abortion.

I'm sorry.

It's too dangerous. I wish you had come
to us sooner. We could have helped, but

at this point, we can't take the chance.

It's too late.

Maybe you'd like to discuss another
option to own our houses.

Oh, my God.

I'm such an idiot.

How am I going to have a baby when I'm
such an idiot?

Hi.

What's wrong with you?

I gotta tell you something.

What'd you fail this time?

Pregnancy test.

What?

Please don't get mad.

I'm not gonna get mad.

I'm just going to make an appointment,
okay?

It's too late.

What?

The lady said that I was too far along.

How far along are you?

Six months.

Jesus Christ, Christina, six months?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I thought I could deal with it
myself.

How could you be so stupid?

You need me to sign that thing again?

Yeah.

And say I did my homework.

Okay. Right, Mr. Peter?

Come again tomorrow?

No, I got to check in on my baby sister.

How old is she?

Why?

Just curious.

Yeah, well, don't think she's 10.

Relax.

I'll miss you tomorrow.

I'll see you in a couple of days.

Sure, baby.

Got me a boyfriend too.

Who is he?

Damon. He's 5 and he's 28.

Yeah, and he ain't no playin' either.
He's a workin' man.

Got a huge TV and everything.

We've been together every day for the
last few months.

Wow.

Yeah, he's real serious.

I got a boyfriend, too.

What? And he's 13.

Toy! So your man way older than you? I
am 14, okay? You're still a baby. I'm

not a baby. Yeah, you is.

All we did was go to the movies.

And then what?

Nothing. We ate some candy.

Well, I hope so.

Because let me tell you something. Don't
be giving him nothing.

Men be lying real bad just to get with
you. They be saying one thing and doing

another.

Okay.

It doesn't matter anyway, because after
we move, you're never going to see them.

That's cool.

Some will be moving soon, too.

Yeah? Yeah.

Damon and I get in the place, so you can
come visit whenever you want.

Ready for my payment.

Oh, man, I never said right away.

Then when did you expect the pay?

Well, I didn't expect you to finish it
right away, hombre. You said you wanted

it fast.

I can get a few by Friday, hombre. Oh,
man, he's fucking with you. You, you get

off my property. I ain't going nowhere.
Chill down, chill down, chill down.

Hey, I ain't leaving till you pay me,
old man.

Look, man, Charlie.

Take 40 until Friday, man. I ain't
picking no damn $40. I spent $200 on

parts alone.

Listen, you act nasty, you get nothing
on that. Hey, I'll act however the fuck

I want to act. You're the one who fucked
up. You don't talk to me like that, am

I, brother? Fuck you, I was the one who
fucked up. You want to talk to her? You

want to talk to her? You want to talk to
her?

Because I spent eight hours on that job.
That's why.

Well, that pinching man wasn't even
paying me.

I only did was push him anyway.

I still didn't get the money.

She's been with me in the garage all
night.

I just got a whole gang on last week.

You first.

There goes your baby.

Fuck you.

Could be anybody's.

Hey, big mama.

I'm out of here.

I can't deal with this shit anymore.

What happened?

The integument sucks.

It dropped me out.

Fuck it is.

I have a huge scar.

It's really gross.

She was in an incubator for a while
because, I don't know, she had trouble

breathing. And she only weighed, like,
four pounds.

But she is the most beautiful, perfect
little thing that I've ever seen.

And she came out of me, which proves I'm
not as fucked up as I thought.

I'll see you in a couple hours.

We have bottles on the table.

Well, he needs a new cuddly and some
diapers.

And I need some new chanclas.

Well, I don't got no money to give you.

Well, what can I ask? My mom's taking
me.

See you later.

You, uh... He's got his papi's penny,
huh?

Yeah, well, too bad for Sally.

Hey, Oscar.

Smiley's moving some cars, you know.

He could use you on this one.

Nah, I don't do that no more, dawg.

Hey, he's paying real good, you know.

Not interested, dawg.

I just thought you could use some money,
you know.

Pampers and shit.

You can make out what you lost with the
old man.

Okay. We got to be getting you back
about now, huh?

I don't want to go back there.

We got to get you out of that place.

I almost busted out last week.

You should have come here.

Really? Yeah, girl.

Will you tell me why you were late
today?

I got lost.

I did. I went the wrong way.

Wrong way.

Yeah, I walked all the way down to
Slossom before I realized it, and it was

already getting late.

Well, to help you with your directional
problems, I will be taking you to and

from school from now on. What?

And no TV for the rest of the week.

Man!

That's one.

Two.

Three days probation.

You want to go for more?

You're lucky that didn't hit me.

Or I'd press charges.

You got room restriction to think about
that.

Now.

I expect you to clean this kitchen, and
I expect you to do it nicely.

Lucky! Can you turn off the music?

Papa!

I'm okay.

Hey, thank you mom for getting us a
little sweater.

Perfect!

High school!

Yeah? Congratulations!

Wow, my mom told me it wasn't going to
come today.

Yeah? You get to go camping?

Wow, that's great.

I wanna go back, but... I don't know how
I'm gonna do it.

So cute she makes these little noises.

It's so weird because I understand
exactly what she's saying.

Last week she rolled over for her first
time. It was so cute.

So, are you going to come to Todd's
party or not?

Look at you.

Well, yeah, I'm going to try.

Well, you have to. I promise everyone
you'd bring the ecstasy.

Oh, well, yeah, that's cool. I mean, I'm
down to go.

That's if my mom will babysit for me,
though.

Hi, baby.

So, what, you can't go out anymore?

Sure I can.

You want to come with me?

You want to come to Todd's party with
me?

You're going to bring her.

Of course not.

I'm sorry, sweetie. You can't go.

You know, you seem really happy.

But a lot of people think that you've
ruined your life.

Bullshit.

Marla's like the best thing that's ever
happened to me.

Thank you, honey.

And I'm not kidding. I'm not going to
date anyone who doesn't like babies.

So do you like us?

Mm-hmm.

Definitely.

No, she's not. She deserves a better
mother.

What do you mean?

You're not fucking ready for this.

What is your problem?

I fucked up once.

You're a mother now, Christina.

You can't fuck up at all.

Don't worry, baby.

I'll never leave you again.

You're right.

Not that there's another party.

Confused. You're all for me, lesbo.

Not on probation, you don't. I have to
call her. This is important.

I said no, and don't make me say it
again. Now go to your room.

Damn, I hate you.

Man, fuck this place.

I'm not going to be here all six months.

I'm being real mellow.

I'm going to get off on good behavior, I
promise.

I got a lot of promises.

Oh, if you come and rant at me, why are
you even coming?

I'm worried about you.

I'm okay.

Let me see, man.

Hey,

what's up, baby?

What you doing, baby?

Hey, put him up to the glass, yeah?

Hey, how's my little man?

What's up?

Look at you. You're growing up big.

Where's my little man at?

oh jesus christ

you raised a criminal all right all

right did you take money from him i took
it from marla i'm gonna pay him back how

are you gonna pay it back when you don't
have a job all right i don't want your

money i want her to be punished by a
change you gotta take responsibility

yourself understand she's only 14 she
can have a baby but she can't be

responsible for herself you hit a baby i
did not hit the i would never hit a baby

she's a liar

And he, like, brainwashed my mom that
she was even against me keeping the

baby. So I was out of there.

I didn't really have another place to
go, but I didn't care.

At least I still had Marla.

Hi, Mrs. Garrett?

Hi, it's Christina.

to have a good summer up there.

Okay.

Okay. Bye-bye.

They upped my medication after I tore
the room up.

Then they kept me out of school for a
week because I got sick.

But it didn't matter.

Hey!

I'm always at different schools so I
don't get that close to nobody anyway.

I mean...

I wish I could have someone who was
always there and always taking care of

me.

That would be cool.

Damon!

But I know that don't really happen.

Hey. Why you been dissing me?

I ain't good enough for you? You got
somebody else?

No, I got a week's probation because I
was late that night. I'm supposed to

believe that? I almost broke the door
down. I was so mad at them.

Oh, my baby don't take no shit.

That's right.

I missed you bad.

Good. I thought you were sharing this
beautiful body with someone else.

I wouldn't do that.

Good, baby.

Because you're my little girl.

I don't want to stay here.

That is not a problem.

After Oscar got sentenced, I moved back
in with my parents.

I don't really feel like a kid anymore,
though.

I just felt tired.

I am so excited.

I made it to varsity squad.

You did great. Yeah, tryouts were last
week. It was, like, so great.

Yeah? My mom was telling me that Oscar
got out of jail.

Yeah.

Did he come by since he got out?

No.

He's afraid my father will call the
cops.

But he called a couple times.

Yesterday he said he had some money for
us.

Well, take that from him at least. Maybe
you won't have to file for support.

Did you tell him to meet you here?

No.

Feliz.

How you doing, baby?

It's your puppy.

Can I hold him?

Damn,

he got heavy.

He weighs like 28 pounds. He's got the
time.

Yeah, me too.

Did you know me, son?

Here's $100, and I'll bring you some
next week, man.

Hey, I'm down in Vegas now, helper of
the main mechanic.

Yeah, my deal's got this work program.

Barely three weeks out, and I'm already
working steady.

He says he's never seen a guy come back
so fast.

Hey.

It's good.

Yeah.

He is so full of shit.

You got to be careful.

Why don't you just tell him to mail you
the money?

Yeah, I guess.

It's hard and sweet this period.

Let's go.

Let's go.

I'm waiting on my brother.

Let me see your pants.

You okay?

I have your results.

I'm pregnant, huh?

Yes, I knew it. Do you know who the
father is?

Yeah, I ain't no slut.

Is he a student here?

No, I ain't into the trash at this
school.

I think the timing belt's about to go
out.

Hey, you have really good ears.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

Oh, Sally.

Angelito. Mr.

Vega, this is my son and his mom.

Mucho gusto. Nice to meet you.

Hey. Why don't you take a couple of
minutes?

I'll get started. Oh, okay.

So, did it take nothing?

Maybe. Yeah?

Yeah.

There's a little more in it this time.

Oh, don't worry. The cash inside is
clean.

Angel, wait right by the puppy.

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey. Um, maybe, um,
if it's okay, I could take you shopping.

I mean, if you need help, I can help you
out a little bit.

Okay. Okay.

So soon, then. I'll take you.

All right?

All right.

I got some good news.

Yeah?

I can leave that home now.

Oh, now that's cool.

Because guess what?

Me and you are going to have a baby.

You and me?

Yeah.

How do you know it's mine?

Because I ain't been with nobody else.

What, you going to keep it and
everything?

Hell yeah, I'm keeping it. I ain't
giving my baby to no stranger.

I'm just asking.

So what you gonna do?

I'm gonna come stay with you.

What?

You said I could.

I didn't say that. Yeah, you did. You
said I was your girl. I didn't mean it

like that. Damon, this is our baby. You
gotta take care of it. I can't raise no

baby in no group home. Hey, girl, don't
freak out. Come on.

See what we gonna do.

I'm gonna clean up my apartment
tomorrow, okay?

I'm gonna fix it real nice for you,
okay?

Then you can be with me, okay?

Bang.

No problem.

Hey, can I call you tomorrow?

Okay.

Okay.

See, I told you. We belong together.

Yeah, but... Yeah, but what?

What, you ever gonna trust me?

I wanna be a family, babe.

I could do it now.

Hola, senora.

Buenas tardes.

Oscar took a shopping.

Well, the food's going to go bad if you
don't bring it in the house.

Is, um, Pete here?

Nope.

Do you know when he's coming back?

Pete's on the road for six months.

I'm renting the place till he gets back.

Oh.

Um, hi.

I'm Christina.

This is my baby, Marla.

Look, we're really, really stuck.

Um, Pete used to let us stay here once
in a while. Like, I'm not like some

homeless person or anything. I mean, I
have a place to live.

It's just that I'm on this waiting list
and I really don't know when that will

happen. All I'm trying to say is that...

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry, baby.

There won't be an opening in St. Anne's
for another three months.

Can't you stay here?

She's not supposed to.

I'm not licensed to have pregnant girls
here.

I'll call the Crittenden Center.

There's nowhere else to put her.

Everything is full of...

Could you still learn to trust and leave
me right?

Everybody says I did the right thing, so
I mean, that's good, but I don't know,

maybe when she's older she'll come find
me.

I really hope she doesn't hate me.

But sometimes I just wish that I could
start my whole life over and, like, be a

different person.

It's not too late to live with pride

Don't you let your

secret dreams grow dark

Now

that we're back together, it's not all
romantic all the time We just know we

want to be with each other and raising
your right.

Everybody be looking at me all sorry and
shit.

But I'm like, you should respect me.

I'm going to be a mother.

We'll be

right back.

I'm thrilled at how I feel for you.

Baby, how I feel for you.

But the time wasn't right, so I kept it
to myself.

Now there's been a reason left to keep
it on the shelf.

You can't keep a good thing down.
