:54:01
- I'm, uh, Jake. Jake--
- Please, no last names.
:54:04
In my line of work,
last names aren't needed.
:54:07
You're actually better off
without them. [ Groans ]
:54:12
- Why he beat you like that?
- Because he can.
:54:15
And why you let him though?
:54:17
Look. Are you trying to get
inside my head or something?
:54:19
- You trying to see how I think?
- Naw.
:54:22
You think you're
real slick, huh?
:54:25
Naw, I just, you know--
[ Sighs ]
:54:29
I just want to get
to know you or something.
:54:31
Look, I'm not a crack 'ho, okay?
I don't do drugs.
:54:34
-I ain't accusing you of nothing, baby--
-Good.
:54:36
I just want you to know--
I don't do drugs. I'm clean.
:54:39
Right.
:54:40
You still didn't answer
my question though.
:54:43
Why you allow this, this,
this... pimp, you know, to just--
:54:47
- His name is Sweetness.
- Is what?
:54:50
- His name is Sweetness.
- All right.
:54:52
All right.
Why you allow Sweetness...
:54:54
to, you know, more or less,
just beat you down?
:54:58
A lot of reasons.
:55:00
- Mm.
- Take your pick.
:55:02
Shoot.
:55:04
I love him. He loves me.
:55:06
I'm his number one money-maker.
I'm his bottom bitch.
:55:09
Uh, low self-esteem.
I was abused as a child.
:55:12
And, you know, I deserved it.
It keeps me in line.
:55:16
And he always says he's sorry.
:55:18
[ Sniffling ] You know,
we're going to get married...
:55:21
once he saves up enough money
to get out of this...
:55:24
sh-shit-hole.
:55:26
Here, let me freshen
that up for you.
:55:30
So what about you?
:55:32
- [ Tap Turning On ]
- I mean, look.
:55:34
That's one of my problems,
or one of my many problems.
:55:37
I tell people my whole life history and
I don't even know a thing about them.
:55:43
Ah. Well, I told you
my first name was Jake,
:55:46
and, uh, I got two children.
:55:49
Got a son.
His name is Jesus,
:55:51
and, uh, got a daughter
named Mary.
:55:55
Are you, like,
religious or something?
:55:57
Oh, most definitely. Most defin--
Well, more so like, uh--
