The first 195 lines.
Excuse you.
Hey, excuse me.
Hey, sir, you just bumped into me.
Fucking rude motherfucker.
Swanson,
Dorothy Washington, house manager.
Come on in.
Most everyone's at work,
but this house fills up real good
around 7:00, 8:00 at night.
Your box came yesterday.
Show me your release sheet,
and then we'll get you a room.
Ladies, this here is Sherry Swanson.
Hey.
Hi.
You got some privacy,
but we don't lock bedroom doors.
This is for the locker
where you store all your valuables,
in the corner, there.
You get your house keys after 30 days
with no write-ups:
No infractions of our house rules,
do your chores, all that.
I'm sure you'll be fine, honey.
Yeah.
Get the phone!
Do you like the blue ones, the green ones?
The pink ones.
What size are you?
Bobby?
Hello?
Hey, it's Sherry.
Sherry, is that you?
Yeah, what's up?
You know, busy.
Listen, I got to wrap it up.
Want a cigarette?
Yeah, okay, um...
That's cool.
Tell everybody I said hi.
Yeah, I will.
Kiss my baby for me.
Kiss Lexi for me. Tell her I'm coming.
What time are you coming tomorrow?
After lunch. Listen, I got to run.
Cool, peace.
Blanquita.
Blanquita,
you think you're too good for us?
Destiny, chill out.
The girl just got her release.
Parole office.
Could I talk to PO Hernandez?
Who's calling?
Swanson.
Parole number?
95-g4-620.
No crossing state lines without permission from this office.
Any change in residence
must be reported in writing.
Do you understand the conditions
of your parole, Ms. Swanson?
Mm-hmm.
Here's the rest of your commissary.
Count it out in front of me.
Sign the receipt.
Make sure it's all there.
On each and every reporting day,
you will submit your pay stubs
along with this form.
Make sure the form is filled out correctly.
Can I smoke in here?
Get a job as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I have to see you three times a week,
and, frankly, I don't have the time for that right now.
Could I ask you about something now, or...
Um, this--this curfew thing?
I just, um--
I would like to spend the night at my family's house,
at my brother's house.
I haven't seen them for a long time.
I thought you had no problems, Swanson.
Yeah.
Any unreported police contact
will result in the immediate violation of your parole,
and I will violate you.
You will be returned to prison
to serve the remainder of your sentence,
plus any new charges you may incur.
Monday at 9:00 a.m. you report to Mr. Monroe
at 1138 Clifford street.
Can you please give me a pass?
Are you trying to fuck with me, Swanson?
Or are you here to successfully
complete your parole?
To successfully complete my parole, sir.
I just really...
I have to see my daughter.
I haven't seen her in a long time.
Your brother's name and address, what is it?
Robert Swanson.
1334 Ridge drive.
Slow down.
One...
334 Ridge drive.
Mountainside, New Jersey.
Come on, there's nothing to see here.
Come on, keep moving. Keep moving.
Let's go. Let's go.
Dump it.
Yo, bitch, why you tripping, man?
See you later.
Good luck tomorrow, okay?
Thanks, Andy.
Thanks for helping me out.
How do you do?
Hey.
I'm Andy Kelly.
I'm the director of this program.
Oh, hey, I'm Sherry.
I just got here.
Nice to meet you-- Sherry Swanson.
Yeah.
Right, I processed your intake.
Oh.
Welcome to genesis house.
Thanks.
Is that your Bible?
Yeah, as a matter of fact, it is.
Well, you know what you should do?
Take a look at this one.
What's laid out in the first 164 pages of this book
is a program for life.
It's a program of change that'll spin your head around
and make you happier than you ever were
when you were on drugs and alcohol.
I know all about it.
I did a year of 12-step when I was locked up.
Really?
I, um...I like the good book better.
Gotcha.
Do you want some coffee?
Yeah.
Please.
Oh stop, stop, stop.
Damn
I could go all night.
Look at this.
My friend shaved it.
You want to kiss it?
Come on, baby.
Come on. Kiss it.
Okay.
You have a visitor.
Okay.
Oh, shit!
Put some meat on your bones.
Yeah.
I missed you.
You should have come see me.
Okay, let's get the fuck out of here.
It's all pretty much the same.
The only thing different is we got a new table.
Well, I guess Lynette redecorated the living room.
We got Alexis a new bed.
She didn't want to get rid of her little baby bed.
But you'll see; Everything's the same.
It'll be like you never left.
Did you hear Chris Cuzar died?
How am I supposed to hear that?
I don't know who you talk to.
Nobody.
I don't talk to nobody, Bob.
How'd he die, from the dope?
Yep.
Shit, do you have a cigarette?
Nope, I quit.
Fuck you.
Look at the little mermaid.
Don't go too far.
Come back here.
Get over here.
Munchkin.
Hey, girls.
Hey, hon.
Lynnie.
Hi, Sherry.
Welcome home.
Hi.
You're here, wow.
Not going to hug you-- I'm wet.
You remember Sherry, Lexi?
Mommy?
