:29:03
- [ Fussing ]
- Oh.
:29:06
So, what are you
gonna name her ?
:29:10
Oh, that's right.
:29:13
[ Lexie ] ''Americus''? How the hell'd
you come up with a name like Americus ?
:29:17
[ Novalee ] I wanted her
to have a strong name,
a name that stood for somethin'.
:29:21
- Ooh. Aw.
- [ Baby Crying ]
:29:24
Well, I guess I should talk.
I call my kids after snack foods:
:29:27
Brownie, Praline,
Cherry and Baby Ruth.
:29:30
- You got four ?
You don't look old enough.
- Yep.
:29:32
Well, I started when I was 1 5,
and I just couldn't stop.
:29:36
I wanted to find the first one
a daddy, but all I got
out of that was another baby.
:29:39
So, I wanted to find 'em both
a daddy, and so on, and so on.
:29:43
- I think I'm goin' about this
the wrong way.
- [ Chuckles ]
:29:45
Hey ! There she is !
That's the Wal-Mart mommy !
:29:49
Now, how long were you
living in the Wal-Mart ?
:29:55
Uh, uh,
:29:57
- six weeks.
- And what was it like ?
:30:04
You know.
:30:07
[ Giggles ]
:30:09
Have you spoken
to the father?
:30:14
Novalee, if I was you,
I'd rule out a career in broadcastin'.
:30:19
- Why would anyone
write anything so hurtful ?
- What's it say ?
:30:23
''A baby born out of holy wedlock
is an abomination in the eyes of God.''
:30:28
- [ Sighs ]
- My baby is not an abomination.
:30:31
- Screw 'em.
- Midnight, Mississippi.
:30:41
Oh, my.
This one's sad.
:30:45
''I gave birth to a baby in a V.W. van
where I lived for nearly a year.''
:30:49
[ Sighs ] '' My baby didn't make it.
I hope yours does.
:30:53
I don't have much else to offer you,
but I know that some money might help,
:30:56
so I enclose $1 0.''
