Dad, give me five dollars.

Listen to me, young lady, I've had just a battle I'm gonna take.

Mom, what's he talking about? Give me 5 dollars.

Listen to your father when he's talking to you.

What's he talking about?

You know damn well what I'm talking about.

Maria, you've been thrown out of school.

I was not thrown out. I quit. Now give me 5 dollars.

You little—

John, stop it. - You wouldn't dare.

If I had my way— - John, shut up!

Well, what's gonna happen? What's she gonna do with her life?

I'm gonna get married.

To who? - To Anthony.

Terrific.

Maria, don't be silly, Anthony's going to college.

Only to play football.

When he gets out, he'll be going to work with his father doing construction

...and be pullin' in a really bitchin' salary...

Don't smoke in the house. - Besides, he's gonna marry me.

I'm gonna have a baby.

That's it! - That's what?

I will not have a goddamned tramp living in my house!

Mom, did you hear what he called me?

Bastard! - Slut!

Daddy! - Get out!

So there!

John...

Mom, I'm home.

Mom? - John?

What happened? - John!

He's dead.

Slaughter, what did I tell you about smoking on the premises?

Lay off, Ed.

What's a PKE doing over here? - Drop dead. Hand me those pliers.

What's this?

This is a lost cause, Ed. - What is?

This! - You're gonna pay for that!

This crap isn't worth the time we put into it.

What's wrong with it? - It's cheap!

So? - Cheap!

Well, can't you fix it? - No!

Why not?

Some things shouldn't be fixed.

Well, you don't have a choice in the matter, now, do you?

The company employs you to oversee the fabrication of these units...

Ed! - No, no, no, you listen to me!

The company employs you to oversee the fabri...

Hi! - What the fuck are you doing here?

I got to tell you something.

You get tossed out of school again? - Yeah.

What the hell did you do now? - Come upstairs.

No! - Always up...

Listen, Maria, this isn't the time to be bugging me right now, OK?

I got a game tonight and I've got my college entrance exams tomorrow.

This is important. - Yeah, well, so is this!

This is more important, this is more important than football.

Really? - I mean I'll have a baby.

What? - A baby, stupid.

Whose baby? - Yours, you jerk!

How could you be so stupid? - Oh, thanks a lot.

What are my parents gonna say? I've got a scholarship on the line.

What about me? - Oh, what about you?

How could you let this happen?

- I didn't just let this happen all by myself, you know.

Oh, try to pin the blame on me?

I'm not blaming you, it's just...

You did this on purpose. - I did not!

You did this to keep me from going away to college.

Anthony!

You said we'd get married. - What?

You did. You said we'd get married. - Do you think I'd marry you now?

Why would I marry you now? High school drop-out, pregnant...

You know, you squeeze that bread out and you sit around watching TV all day long,

and you know how you look like by the time you're 21? Huh?

Eew! You think I need that? I don't need that!

These are the most important years of my life as a football player.

This arm... this arm is gonna make me famous.

It's gonna take me straight through college and into the NFL.

And people say that I'm a smart player. They say I'm good with strategy.

That's why I practice so much. That's why I've got to be devoted.

I wake up every morning at 6 o'clock and I run 3 miles.

And I do 60 sit-ups and 80 push-ups, and then I drink this mixture of 1 raw egg...

Matthew? Matthew, is that you?

It's me. -What?

Why aren't you at work?

Well, I... - Speak up, for Christ's sakes!

I quit. - You what?

I quit.

You quit? - I got fired.

Well, which is it, Matthew, you quit or you got fired?

It's not that simple.

Yes it is, you quit or you got fired. Which one?

I quit.

You sure about that? - Yes. I quit.

You got a lot of fucking nerve, you know that?

You go through jobs like most people go through underwear.

I'll get another job.

Expect me to support you your whole goddamn life, is that it? - No.

What was that? - I said no.

When are you gonna wake up and stand on your own two feet, huh?

You're a grown man.

When I was your age, I was on my own. I was makin' a damn good livin'.

I'll move out, then.

What was that? Tell me what you said. - You heard what I said.

Tell me what you said, coward! Come on! - I said "I'll move out, then".

That's a joke! You would not know how to take care of yourself.

You're to thank God I've been here to look after you.

And when're you gonna clean that bathroom like I ask, eh?

But I did. I did it before I went to work. - Hm, you call that clean?

Yeah.

Do it again.

You eat yet? - I'm not hungry.

Fucking kid's gonna waste away.

How many times I gotta tell you to clean that goddamn bathroom?

But I... - Do it! Now!

That would look great on you.

I like this one, too. - Try on both.

Can I charge my parents' credit card? - Sure.

The dressing room is right over there.

What's the problem?

Oh, I wish I knew. This damn car— it's always something.

Sounds like the battery.

Hey, Mr. Slaughter. - Hi, Grace, Joey, how are you?

Fine.

That's nothing serious, Mrs. Black,

just all the corrosion here on your battery terminals.

Joey, you wanna do me a favor, please?

Go in the garage and give me a peace of sandpaper and a screwdriver, OK?

OK. - Grace...

Save our children! Close it down!

What kind of questions do you have? - I don't know.

Do you want to have an abortion? - I don't know.

Do you have a boyfriend? - No.

Who is the father? - There is no father.

You?

Sure.

You know, I'm looking at this guy, right?

And I've looked at him a lot before.

So now, I know that I have this little piece of him actually in me.

Physically in me, and it makes me feel...

...completely different, I don't know, sort of special or something.

So I'm talking to him...

I'm talking to him and I realize... I'm...

I'm talking to him and I realize that he doesn't even see me.

And I'm wondering what it was he was seeing...

...when we did this. I go over it in my head...

And now I know what it was he was seeing.

It's really simple.

He's seeing my legs, he's seeing my breasts...

...my ass...

...my mouth...

...he's seeing my cunt.

How could I've been so stupid? It's really all there is to see, isn't it?

That's not true.

I don't know.

That's not true. And you know that.

I don't know anything.

Who the hell do you think you are? - I don't think I'm anybody.

You think you're somebody special, don't you?

Just tell me what I've done.

You think you shit ice cream cone, is that it?

All I want to do is clean the bathroom.

I've seen your kind. I've seen them all my life.

You just keep taking, taking, like everything was owe to you,

like the rest of us owed you something.

You're like a little kid. "Gimme this! Gimme that!"

Other people need things, too, you know, Matthew, huh?

Do you ever think about that?

Do you ever think about other people? Do you ever think about me?

I think about you all the time. - What was that?

Did you say something?

I don't know what you want!

I want a little cooperation.

I don't know, maybe it's my fault.

It's not your fault. - But then whose fault is it, huh?

Whose fault is it, Matthew?

If it isn't my fault, whose fault is it?

It's my fault. - What was that?

It's my fault.

It's your fault. - It's my fault!

That's real big of you, Matthew.

Do you think that changes anything?

Mom? Anybody home?

Aunt Faye, Uncle Leo, what's going on, having a party?

Hey, Peg, you're having a party?

Where's Mom?

Mom?

What happened?

Where's Dad?

He's dead.

Dead?

Dead.

You killed him.

Get out of my house.

Hi, Carol. It's me, Maria.

How do I know? I just... I didn't... I didn't mean to...

I don't know!

Look, I don't have any place to go.

What? Because you're my best friend!
