She"d bring men to their bed...
:42:03
and little Eddie, he"d have to get up
and go sit on the floor in the corner...

:42:07
and watch.
:42:11
Just watch.
:42:19
Sometimes he"d sleep.
:42:23
He"d have nightmares...
:42:27
about his daddy beatin" him
and his mama half to death.

:42:35
Sometimes the men beat her.
:42:37
She"d blame him
and beat him next.

:42:45
He didn"t have no friends.
Didn"t want any.

:42:51
They called him a loser.
:42:53
And he"d just sit at home and--
:42:58
alone and cry.
:43:01
Just cry.
:43:09
His mama said he was a survivor.
:43:17
But that didn"t sound right to Eddie.
:43:20
"Cause a survivor ain"t nothin"
but a loser that...

:43:24
ain"t dead yet.
:43:26
No, Eddie"s a winner...
:43:30
and he"s smart too.
:43:32
He starts watching people.
:43:35
You know, just watching.
:43:38
And the more he watches,
he reckons that...

:43:45
their lives ain"t half right either.
:43:49
They"re unhappy; they"re lost.
:43:52
They hate themselves.
:43:56
But Eddie knows.
