"Hey, man, you said I could stay!" "No, I didn't." "Yeah, you did." "You said I could stay awhile!" "No, I didn't." "Now take your fuckin' shit and get your ass out of here... bitch." "Fuck!" "Wait a minute, man." "Wait a minute!" "I want my TV!" "You're not gettin' my TV, man!" "I want my TV!" "...Do you really want your TV?" "... Yeah!" "Catch." "Fuckin' sue you now." "Fucker!" "Fucker!" "Ugh!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Ugh!" "Hey, Sinta, um..." "It's your sister." "Bitch." "Hey." "Tony, I really need you." "Is that Mommy?" "...It's not Mommy." "... Sounded like her." "It's not!" "Now go eat your breakfast!" "Come here." "Are you high?" "...No." "... Yeah, bullshit." "Tony, you got to let me stay here a couple days." "I don't got anywhere to go." "I'm not gonna let you keep pulling these kids like that." "It is bullshit." "If you can't stay away from here," "I'm gonna get a restraining order like the lady said." "At least you can let me stay in the garage again." "I don't got anywhere to go." "You'll probably be in jail again soon, anyway, won't ya?" "Tony..." "Tony, I don't got anywhere to go, man." "Man, you're my only family." "I'm fuckin' hungry, okay?" "!" "What am I supposed to eat?" "!" "I don't got anywhere else to go!" "Please!" "Just go wait over there, will ya?" "You're not gonna give her money, are ya?" "Hey!" "Get over here!" "Here." "Take this." "It's 15 bucks." "This is the last time." "Don't you ever, ever come here again." "You understand me?" "How are they?" "Mikey tied his shoe for the first time two days ago." "Can't you give me $20?" "Ruth?" "Ruth, wake up." "She looks like the Tin Man from "The Wizard of Oz. "" "Ruth!" "Wh...?" "Ugh." "Ugh." "Hey, no!" "Noooo!" "Ugh." "Oh, God." "Oh, not on the hood." "Ugh." "Still huffin' that stuff pretty good, aren't you, Ruth?" "Oh, thanks." "You know you're pregnant?" "Ugh." "Are you thinkin' about havin' this child?" "Oh, I don't know." "I don't know." "MAN #1:.." "Through informants and investigation that you are involved in the manufacturing of the dope." "Whoever told you that's a liar." "That's gonna have to be determined by the courts." "Pregnant?" "Jesus Christ." "Pregnant?" "Jesus Christ." "She probably doesn't even know who the father is." "Hell, I'll drive her by the pound on the way downtown and get her spayed." "Do you know how many times you've been arrested for hazardous vapor inhalation in the last year and a half, Miss Stoops?" "Uh... five?" "...13... 14... 15... 16 times." "Do you know how many times we've given you substance-abuse treatment in the state hospital instead of jail?" "Uh... three?" "Uh, no, no." "Five, five." "Six... six times." "The record also shows that over the years, the state has stripped you of four children, declaring you, in all cases, an unfit mother." "Unh-unh, unh-unh." "I was only unfit for, uh, two of 'em." "First one got adopted, and I think the second one..." "Shut up." "Tell me something, Miss Stoops." "Did you know you were pregnant at the time of your arrest?" "I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know?" "Is there any way..." "you can begin to understand the depth of your irresponsibility toward your children, toward the state, not to mention toward yourself?" "!" "You sicken me." "I'm sorry." "So-o-rry." "Sorry." "You pleaded guilty... again and waived your right to an attorney." "Mr. Barnhardt here, with the D.A. 's office, wants to file an amended complaint." "And I'm going to allow it, charging you with felony criminal endangerment of your fetus." "Uh, uh, uh, uh..." "Now, I'm not sure if I'm setting a precedent here, but you've forced me into it." "I'm going to recommend you be bound over for a hearing in Superior Court." "Wilda... let me talk to her for a second." "Come here, Ruth." "Look, Ruth..." "You and I both know you didn't plan on having another kid, and you're not capable of raising it." "So why don't you just do us all a favor and go... take care of this problem?" "Do you understand what I'm talking about?" "Talking about me getting rid of my baby?" "Is that what you want?" "What I'm saying is, if you think that you want to... go to the doctor while you're in jail... you can go." "Do you understand?" "Yeah." "And then, maybe... maybe I can talk to the city attorney about reducing those charges." "Next on the left." "Ugh!" "Please help me, God." "Oh, God!" "Oh, God, help me." "Oh, God, please, help me." "Let's pray." "Lord Jesus, we know that the punishment we now suffer is a vindication of our righteousness." "Bless all the innocent creatures who depend upon us for their salvation and keep them from harm." "Amen." "Honey, what's wrong?" "20... 40... 60... 80..." "100." "20... 40... 60... 80... 200." "20... 40... 60... 80..." "300." "20... 40... 60... 80... 85... 90... 91... 92... 93... 94..." "95... 96... and... 97... 98... 99 Oh, darn." "Ooh." "No, um." "...I got it." "... No, no, I got it." "Here we go." "Here we go." "Thanks, Diane." "$400." "Okay." "Sign here." "It's an awful lot of money, Gail." "Honey, we'll get it back." "Ruth..." "Wow, I can't believe that." "Nobody's ever paid my bail before." "I'm Norm Stoney." "Ruth, when we met you and heard about your case," "I just knew we had to help." "I feel like I won the lottery." "Might sound crazy, but there are still some pretty decent people in the world." "Mommy, Mommy!" "Oh, there's my little miracle!" "How was jail?" "Well, I met a new friend." "Meet Ruth Stoops." "We just want you to stay here, you know, as long as you need to, to sort things out." "What's ours is yours." "Thanks, 'cause I'm kind of, you know, between places right now." "Well, you know what they say..." ""Su casa es mi casa. "" "...Oh, uh, Ruth..." "... No." "We don't really sit in those chairs." "Oh." "Um, you know what?" "Why don't, uh, you come back here, and I'll show you where to freshen up, and then after dinner, we'll... we'll..." "we'll get you all set up in the guest room, okay?" "Uh, you do like steak, don't you?" "Mommy, do we still have to wait for that lady?" "I'm really hungry." "Yes, young man." "She's our guest." "Gail, this meat is done." "I'm trying to keep it warm, but you're gonna be eatin' shoe leather here." "Been in there over an hour." "An hour and a half, for cryin' out loud." "This is probably the first warm, cozy place she's been in." "...Gail!" "... She's been out on the street." "I mean, my God." "You have got to be careful with the people you drag in here." "You don't know anything about this woman." "You don't know where she's been." "You don't know what kind of life she leads." "...It takes a long time..." "... Think of Matthew for once!" "Think how long it takes me to get ready." "I mean, she's just getting cleaned." "Mom, can I at least have a little snack?" "That does it." "Is everything all right in there?" "Ruth..." "I'm sorry." "I, uh, uh..." "Dinner's ready." "How do I look?" "Clean and pretty." "Wow, I feel like a princess." "Who's wearing all that perfume?" "You mind your manners, young man." "...Cheryl?" "... What?" "Aren't you gonna welcome your mother back?" "Hi, Mom." "Honey, you're just in time for dinner." "Grab a plate." "I'm not hungry." "Well, we have a guest, and we'd like you to join us for dinner." "Cheryl, get out here." "Honey, I'd like for you to meet Ruth Stoops." "She's going to be staying with us for a while." "You pregnant?" "How'd you know that?" "Ruth, um... will you join us in grace?" "Everyone, arms up to Jesus." "Lord, we thank you for reuniting our family around this table, and for the miracle of meeting Ruth." "...Amen." "We recognize that it was your divine hand that brought us all together." "Oh, yes, Lord." "Ruth is in a very troubled time in her life right now." "And we know that through us, you can show her the right path." "As with open minds and open hearts, we can all share and learn from one another's experience." "So, I go, "Raul, I hate you!" "I hate you, man!" ""I hate you!" "I trusted you, and you let me down!" "You let me down, man, just like all the others!"" "Ruth, Ruth, let's..." "let's calm down, okay?" "He freaks out." "He screams, "You want to see blood?"" "Right in my face, "I'll show you blood, you fucking bitch!"" "...Ruth." "... Ruth." "Ruth." "And this is my model plane." "It's my first model." "And those are all my other models." "This is Noah's ark, and you can kind of put, like, that lion and Noah and the monkey on the roof with the pig and the giraffe." "And then, this is what I like to do... you pick them up, and you go..." "Oh, Ruth, there you are." "Matthew... bedtime." "Say good night to our houseguest." "...Good night." "... Night." "He's my little miracle." "You know, after I gave birth to Cheryl, I almost died." "The doctor told me I couldn't have any more children." "Oh, then God gave me Matthew." "Wow." "Can I watch TV, or..." "We don't have a TV." "Ruth, I want you to get a good night's sleep, now." "Ruth, I want you to get a good night's sleep, now." "Tomorrow, you can tell me all about your case." "We're gonna help you fight this one." "Gail and I feel very, very strongly about this." "Yeah, I never had a felony before." "I don't want to go back to jail again, at least not for more than a week or two." "Don't you worry." "We've dealt with this Judge Richter before, but this time, he's gone too far." "When I think about what he said to you..." "Norm, honey, you're not boring Ruth to tears, are you?" "She's dead on her feet!" "No, no." "We're just getting to know each other." "Well, you know... this was my old bachelor bed." "Ahh!" "That's an old, familiar sound." "...Mmm." "I sure am beat." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Mmm." "You know..." "I was... quite a sinner before I married Gail." "Hey, I have this alarm set for 7:30, um, so you'll have plenty of time to get ready, 'cause first thing in the morning, we're gonna go right over to the clinic." "They're real professionals there, and I think everything's gonna turn out just fine." "I've been so lucky to meet you." "Nobody's been so good to me for such a long time." "You're such a nice family, and your home is so nice." "You're safe here." "You're safe, honey." "I'm gonna get my life together this time." "If I could just stop the huffing and everything," "I'd be okay." "I know I would." "I know you would, too, Ruth." "Well, it's been an emotional day for all of us." "Yes." "But we're together now in an atmosphere of Christ's love." "Praise Him." "Oh, give me your hands." "Thank you, thank you." "Pretty." "Good night, Ruth." "Good night." "...Oh, fucker!" "Hey, it's me..." "Cheryl." "Go back to sleep." "...What do you want?" "... Nothing." "I'm just on my way out through the garage, okay?" "Don't narc on me." "Oh, where are you going?" "Just out... to a party." "Party?" "Mom tell you about Matthew?" "Yeah." "What did she say?" "She said he was a miracle." "Ah." "...Mmm." "... Mmm." "Cheryl!" "Cheryl, get over here, quick!" "Come on, hurry up!" "What?" "Come on, get over here!" "Jesus, what happened?" "!" "I" " I don't know." "She..." "She found a can of touch-up paint." "Oh, fuck!" "Ruth, are you okay?" "My parents are gonna kill me." "Well, I don't know what kind of stuff you used, but it didn't work 'cause it was wet." "It's..." "It's all leaking." "Well, honey, they've got some new caulking down at the store." "I'm gonna bring it home, and we're gonna seal that puppy up." "Well, here she is." "Well, hello there, little Miss Sleepyhead." "I bet that's the first good night's sleep you've had in a long time." "Yeah, but we wouldn't want to miss our appointment." "Anybody got a cigarette?" "No, there's no smoking in this house." "Here are your eggs... hot, hot, hot." "Uh." "Uh." "Now, you eat up." "And I'll just run and put my face on." "Mmm." "Say, Ruth..." "I got a call early this morning from a, uh, a reporter down at the "Journal American. "" "It seems like that case of yours might, uh, turn out to be pretty important around here." "He wanted to chat with you, of course, but..." "I told him that you were resting, and that we weren't quite prepared to make a statement at this time, anyway." "Is that okay with you?" "Ruth?" "Good." "Now, I want you..." "to have a wonderful day." "You know, I don't feel good." "I don't want to do this." "Oh, Ruth, I know it's scary, but you have to be brave." "You're in the best of hands here." "Now, before you know it, you'll just be right as rain." "Come on." "Congratulations." "Your test confirms that you, in fact, have a baby on the way." "How about that?" "Well, I need to find out about getting an abortion." "Well, that's..." "I think you're just very upset right now, and you don't understand all the facts." "I want you to talk to me about whatever is troubling you." "I mean, that's what I'm here for..." "I'm here to listen." "Okay." "Like I said, I need to get an abortion." "Let me just ask you something, Ruth." "Have you ever really taken the time to think about what it means to have an abortion?" "Yeah." "Um, it means that I don't have to go to jail, and it means I don't have to have another baby, and it means that I can start getting my life together." "I, I, I, I, I..." "Don't you think that's all just a little selfish?" "Isn't there someone else here you need to consider, someone who's living inside you right now, just waiting to be born?" "I think this would be a good time to have Dr. Rollins step in and just explain some of the medical facts to you, hmm?" "Charlie..." "Huh?" "What?" "Oh, what?" "Oh!" "Yes, yes." "Dr. Rollins, this is Ruth Stoops." "She's about 8 weeks pregnant." "And she wants to know more about her child." "Oh, fine, fine." "Ruth..." "Yes." "Here, let me show you something." "Ruth, your baby is already well into its journey in life." "At 10 weeks, the baby is just about this size." "The head and the feet and the hands are all fully formed." "Your baby has a heartbeat." "And you know something, Ruth?" "Some studies have even shown brain activity." "Now, isn't that remarkable, that even at such an early stage, your baby is made in God's image?" "Here." "I want you to hold it." "Yes." "Wow." "It's got a little thing." "Well, of course it does." "That's because it's a little boy baby." "Now, when you have your baby, what would you like to have?" "Would you like to have a little boy or a little girl?" "What do you..." "What do you mean?" "Well, we're just talking here." "Let's say you decided to have the child." "Uh, would you like it to be a little boy like this one?" "Maybe a girl." "A girl." "Yes, and what are we gonna name this little pumpkin?" "Are we gonna call it, uh, uh, Mary or... or Sally or Susie or, uh..." "Tanya." "Tanya!" "...Baby Tanya." "But I can't have a baby right now." "I don't want another baby." "Man, you don't understand." "I'm in a really bad, bad situation right now..." "I mean bad." "We know it's hard, Ruth, very hard." "But you have to face reality." "If you feel as though you can't raise Tanya, we can put you onto an excellent adoption agency." "What's the matter?" "!" "Are you fuckin' people deaf?" "!" "I said I want an abortion!" "Ruth, uh, do you like to go to the movies?" "We have a movie we'd like to show you." "Do you want to see the movie?" "...Abortion is murder." "These scenes of actual aborted fetuses stand as grim testament to the American Holocaust." "Like Auschwitz and Dachau, the abortion mills of America wage genocide against the..." "Oh, how'd it go?" "We had a good talk, sorted everything out, and I think everything's gonna be fine." "Just fine." "Right, Ruth?" "I slept in some dumpsters." "Maybe I slept on some babies." "Looks like we need a little cheering up." "WOMAN ON P. A:" "Manager to the front counter." "Bingo." "WOMAN ON P. A:" "Manager to the front counter." "Here you go." "Now, if you have any trouble with these, you bring them right back." "Norm..." "Mmm." "Look who's here." "Well, well." "Visiting me down in the salt mines, eh?" "Hey, you know what?" "I'm glad you came." "I've got something I want to show Ruth." "Ohh." "Oh, shit!" "I hate that picture!" "Oh, now, it's a fine picture." "Why do they care about me?" "I didn't do nothin'!" "Now, Ruth, I'm afraid, whether you like it or not, this article is just the beginning." "A lot more reporters have been calling, even from the TV stations." "Some are so antsy, that one of them tracked me down right here to the store." "Now, pretty soon, we're gonna have to decide what to tell them." "Well, tell them..." "I don't know what to tell them." "Norm... are these your fliers?" "Oh, did I leave those up front again?" "Thanks." "This is the last time, Stoney." "I'm warning you." "And you know what?" "Dale's out today." "You collect carts!" "Might be those reporters." "I better take care of this." "...Hi, how ya doin'?" "We were wondering if we could talk to Ruth Stoops." "...Oh, no." "I'm sorry." "... She's here, isn't she?" "Well, I'm sorry." "We're having dinner right now." "...Is she here, though?" "... Uh, no." "We don't need to bother you, we just want to talk to her." "...It's them." "... Just let her talk to us." "...Ruth!" "Are you..." "... Just let us kind of talk There she is!" "... Ruth!" "Ruth Stoops!" "Ruth Stoops!" "Ruth!" "...Wow." "...Who was that?" "... Ruth!" "Ruth, open up!" "Oh, just a couple of loonies comin' out of the woodwork when we're having dinner here." "Why can't these people mind their own business?" "...Ruth!" "... Ruth!" "Oh, no, that's it!" "That's it!" "That's the limit!" "...Get off my property!" "...Go home!" "... Get out of here!" "We're gonna call the police right..." "We are calling the police right now!" "My husband is in there calling the police!" "You better get off of this property, and I'm not kidding!" "Someone is in there calling the police!" "If you don't..." "Get out of the way, Gail!" "Get out of the way!" "You people get off my property right now!" "Move!" "That got 'em." "That got 'em." "Man, are those people crazy or somethin'?" "Yeah, that's exactly right..." "they are crazy." "But you're safe here." "Well, let's, uh..." "Let's finish eating." "Pretty soon, we're gonna have to decide what we're gonna tell them." "Congratulations." "Your test confirms you, in fact, have a baby on the way." "How about that?" "Is there any way you can begin to understand the depth of your irresponsibility?" "Your baby is already well into its journey in life." "So why don't you just do us all a favor and take care of the problem?" "And you know what?" "Dale's out today." "You collect carts!" "Baby killer!" "Baby killer!" "Murderer!" "Dirty murderer!" "...Murderer!" "... All right, people, get back!" "We know where you live!" "...Do you hear me?" "!" "Why did he jump on that car?" "Back up." "Come on, Kirk." "You did your job." "...Baby killer!" "... Kirk's just very passionate." "He saw a lot of killing in Vietnam and won't tolerate any more." "...Get back, get back!" "You people know the routine... either keep movin', or get back across the street!" "...You're a paid assassin!" "... Come on, people." "Hope you saved me a honey-glazed." "...Right there." "... Ah!" "Ruth, I think it's so wonderful." "Gail's been going on and on about how you're gonna give up drugs and have your baby." "She did?" "Ruth, look!" "Kathleen and Sandy from jail, remember?" "Is it true?" "Oh, uh, we're very proud of her." "She's really turning her life around." "Mm-hmm." "And we're gonna take care of that legal..." "Car!" "...Hey, look!" "... Car!" "...There's a car!" "Come on, Ruth!" "Come on, honey!" "Don't do it!" "Don't do it!" "...Stop the car!" "... Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Here's my phone number!" "I'll take care of the baby!" "...sucking right out of your womb!" "Take my phone number, I'll take a hike!" "Here's my phone number!" "If you think you don't want your child alive, you'll be much more haunted by its being dead!" "Why should the size of your baby be the only criteria for loving it?" "!" "Don't do it!" "Don't kill your baby!" "We can help you!" "All right, everybody, you did your job, now get back." "Get back, back behind the injunction line." "I'm talking about a federal law, pal." "Now get back." "You know the routine." "Get back!" "I know exactly how these girls feel." "Years ago," "I had an abortion in this place." "It destroyed me." "I think about my dead baby all the time." "If these women knew what they were doing, they wouldn't do it." "No, it's just a business to them." "400 or 500 bucks a pop." "It's like contract killing." "Ruth Stoops." "Hi, I'm Cindy Lindstrom, Action News 4." "You're a hard person to get ahold of." "I have a couple of questions about your case." "No, I don't want people knowing my business." "Oh, no, no, no, no, no." "Now, now, wait a minute, now." "Ruth does not wish to speak to the press right now." "This is a very personal, very private matter for Ruth and for us." "Excuse me, Norm, but I think she can speak for herself." "Hey, I said I don't want people knowing' my business!" "I told you!" "Fucker!" "You see?" "Now we got people upset." "Ruth?" "Honey, what did she say to you?" "Can we go now?" "We got about an hour and a half left." "I don't feel too good." "I got a really bad headache." "Oh." "Why don't you sit down somewhere?" "I'll get you something to drink." "My stomach hurts." "I wish I could take a dump." "I'm really constipated." "Let's go, uh, have you sit in the car." "Okay?" "Would that make you feel better?" "Now, be sure and crack the window if you get overheated." "Y" " You sure you're gonna be all right?" "Aw." "Fuck!" "MAN:" "Page 52 of your study guide." "You will see how at no risk to you and with absolutely no money down you can own your own home." "It's only fear that holds people back in life and keeps them from achieving financial independence." "If you just have a little confidence in yourself and allow the Larry Jarvik system to work for you," "I guarantee you'll be equipped to take control of your own economic destiny in ways you've never dreamed possible." "Ruth..." "Come on, Ruth." "We're all looking for you." "What are you doing?" "That looks like my model glue." "...Is that my model glue?" "You're not supposed to smell it like that." "Get out of here, kid!" "Mom!" "Dad!" "Hey, shut up!" "Over here!" "Mom!" "Dad!" "I said shut up, you little fucker!" "Matthew!" "Honey!" "Are you okay?" "...What happened?" "... What's going on here?" "I found her smelling my model glue, and she hit me." "You hit him?" "What is wrong with you?" "!" "Where is this glue?" "Where is it?" "Give me that!" "Give it to me!" "Give it to me!" "In the name of God," "I want you to get off drugs right now!" "This is the devil." "Do you hear me?" "You have got the devil inside you!" "Please don't hit me." "You are full of sin and disease!" "We let you in our house!" "We reach down and lift you out of that filthy cesspool you live in, and this is how you repay us?" "!" "I'm such a bad person." "We're all sinners!" "But that doesn't mean you can go around smelling drugs, especially when an innocent baby suffers for it!" "I do not want that woman back in my house again." "W" " What are we gonna do..." "put her out in the street?" "Do you know how long that will last?" "I don't care." "Put her in a halfway house." "She wouldn't last 5 minutes in a halfway house!" "Listen, you two, all this burden doesn't have to fall on your shoulders." "Let me take Ruth for a while." "Diane, no." "No, really." "You don't know what you're getting yourself into." "I worked with substance abusers back in Wyoming." "Maybe I can control her." "I know." "Are you sure about this, Diane?" "Oh, yeah." "We'll be fine." "Okay, Ruth." "Come on." "You're coming home with me today." "That's right." "Come on." "Up." "Don't forget!" "Ruth has a counseling session tomorrow!" "Hey!" "Hey, you!" "Hey!" "Hey, you!" "Uh, Ruth." "Ruth, I think there's someone trying to say hello." "Yeah, you!" "I'm gonna kill your fuckin' ass, you bitch!" "Suck the shit out of my ass, you fucker!" "Hey, fuck you!" "No, fuck you!" "Fuck you!" "Fuck you!" "No!" "Go, go, go, go!" "Go!" "Oh, my." "Who was that?" "I don't know." "Some guy." "We're here." "Uh, Ruth... this might be a little confusing at first, but there's something you need to know." "I'm not exactly who I appear to be." "The truth is..." "I'm not a "Baby Saver. "" "I work for pro-choice." "You see, Ruth, there's a war on, and I guess you could call me a spy." "This is Rachel." "She lives here with me." "Ruth!" "Ruth." "Ruth, Ruth, Ruth." "Hey, hey, hey." "Ruth." "Ruth, Ruth." "...Ruth." "... It's okay." "Don't be afraid, Ruth." "It's okay." "You're safe now." "We're your friends." "We're on your side." "Ow!" "Ow!" "Ohh!" "Ohh!" "Mngh!" "Ow!" "Ow." "Uh-uh." "Feel that?" "Uh, yeah." "That feels good." "That's your liver." "You have to realize they want to use you to attack Judge Richter for saying he'd let you out for an abortion." "He's been ruling against the "Baby Savers" for years." "And now with all the publicity you're getting, they want to use you to send a message." "If they keep you from getting the abortion you want, it'll be a big symbolic victory for them." "Hey..." "do my spleen again." "But... thanks to Diane's work, you're safe from them now." "It is always women like you who are most victimized by anti-choice... indigent women, third-world women, women of color." "I'm not a colored woman." "Yesterday we reported the tragic story of Ruth Stoops, an indigent woman charged with criminally endangering the life of her fetus because of her drug use." "Members of an anti-abortion group, the "Baby Savers,"" "have paid her bail and taken her in while she awaits hearing." "And today, they brought her along to their daily protest." "Action News 4's Cindy Lindstrom was there." "As anti-abortion protesting continued today outside the Women's Health Services Clinic," "Ruth Stoops showed up alongside "Baby Savers" local chairman Norm Stoney." "Stoops declined to speak with us on camera today, but Stoney tells us she does not plan to have an abortion." "He thinks her unusual case could set a precedent." "We're amazed that the state can seek to punish someone for endangering their preborn baby and then allow them to kill it through abortion." "Now, we hope, and Ruth hopes, that the absurdity of this case will make crystal clear the fundamental unconstitutionality of abortion." "This simple woman, this quiet voice will send a deafening message that abortion must be stopped." "Oh, man!" "I never said anything like all that." "He knew I didn't want anybody knowing about me." "Stoney said Stoops' number-one priority right now is to get off drugs and alcohol." "Cindy Lindstrom, Action News 4." "That's probably Gail." "...deadly explosion at a chemical plant in Sioux City." "Hello?" "Oh, hi, Gail." "I sure did." "Where'd you see it?" "Uh-huh." "Oh, I kno..." "I know." "I'm sure it'll send a great message." "Channel 7, too?" "Whoo!" "We..." "Oh, sh... she's doing fine." "Just fine." "No problems at all." "Well, you know something?" "Actually, she just stepped into the shower." "No, I didn't!" "Oh, my goodness." "Here she is now." "...Ruth, it's Gail." "... I know." "You're okay with this?" "Yeah." "Give me that." "Hello?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I saw it." "Let me tell you somethin'." "You want to send a message?" "I ain't no fuckin' telegram, bitch!" "Shh." "Nothing's wrong!" "I'm fine now." "You think I'm a fool." "You're the fool 'cause guess what!" "This is a war, and Diane's a spy!" "...How 'bout that?" "... Uh." "Now you're catching on." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, you're a cunt!" "How'd I do?" "I guess we better get Harlan out here." "Ohh!" "Harlan here." "What?" "Right." "It's them." "Quicker than I thought." "Fasten your seat belts, everybody." "Good luck, Harlan." "Evening, folks." "What's the occasion?" "Cut the horse manure, Harlan, you Nazi, and turn out that light." "Where is Diane?" "She's sleeping." "Why?" "She is not." "Diane!" "Now, I'm gonna have to ask you to keep your voice down." "You're gonna wake everybody up." "Ruth!" "Honey, we're here!" "Are you all right?" "Ruth!" "Ruth!" "Hey, come on, kids." "I don't want to have to call the police." "We already did." "Ye serpents!" "Ye generation of vipers!" "How can you escape the damnation of Hell?" "Whew, doggies." "Matthew 23:33." "That's very impressive, Norman." "Evening, Harlan." "Folks." "Officers, they're holding a woman captive inside this house." "Is that true, Harlan?" "She's in there, Jim." "She's no captive." "You want to have her come out, Harlan?" "Diane, you want to go ahead and bring Ruth out?" "Diane?" "Surprise." "What kind of person are you?" "All this time we've been like sisters." "Sisters?" "You don't know what it means to be a sister." "People, let's get to the point so we can all go home." "Ruth, have these people kidnapped you?" "No." "Are you here against your will?" "No." "They've brainwashed her!" "They've got her all doped up!" "Ma'am..." "I know this woman." "She's about as sober as I've ever seen her." "Officer, the point is that woman belongs with us." "We're responsible for her." "We paid her bail." "Yeah." "A-And I bought her those shoes." "Well, it looks to me like you're just responsible for her bail." "Okay, folks, let's all just go home." "There's nothing going on here." "Ruth." "Ruth, please." "Honey, please come back home, okay?" "I forgive you for this afternoon and for everything that you said to me on the phone." "Please!" "Your bed is waiting for you." "And Matthew misses you." "We share a special bond." "We're like a family, remember?" "Don't let these..." "these lunatics sway you." "For the love of God, don't believe their lies." "Look at Diane." "Look how she lied to us." "Had us completely fooled." "She's lying to you, too." "She's lying!" "So what's it gonna be, Ruth?" "Uh..." "I'm gonna... stay here." "And I'm gonna have that abortion like I wanted." "'Cause I'm a citizen and I got my rights to, um, pick and y-you're just trying to..." "And, um, I'm a woman..." "and my body belongs to me." "Right?" "Right." "Your body belongs to God!" "Norm, please don't do this." "Please, please don't pull one of your stunts." "Let's just all go home." "If you don't all leave right now, we're gonna have to start making arrests!" "Back in your cars now!" "Non co-op!" "Yeah, this is Bundy and Iverson." "Looks like we're gonna need some backup out here." "That's all right, Officer." "Never mind." "We'll go." "Thanks, Norm." "We really appreciate it." "All right, people, let's go!" "Let's leave this..." "this death camp." "But mark my words, Diane," "Harlan, and the rest of you murderers, this isn't over." "Come on." "Let's go!" "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on." "Get in your cars." "Good work." "So when can I get that abortion anyway?" "Thursday would be the soonest." "We'll make all the arrangements." "Well, does it cost a lot of money, 'cause I-I don't got any money." "Don't worry, Ruth." "I'm sure we can find a way to take care of it." "How would that be?" "Whatever." "Oh, my God!" "Come here." "You got to see this." "Ruth, you don't want to miss this." "Oh!" "Look at that moon." "She's right down here with us as if to say everything will be all right." "Everything's gonna be fine." "Just fine." "You're safe here with us." "Yeah." "And those lights over there sure are pretty." "...Mmm." "... Mmm." "Oh, shit!" "...A vigil." "Come on." "Let's go." "Ah, they're going inside." "Now what?" "Well, give me a second." "I can't see through walls." "Got 'em." "They're in a room on the second floor." "Must be some sort of indoctrination room." "Damn it!" "So, I think there's everything you need." "Let..." "Let me know if there's anything else, okay?" "This is the bathroom... sort of a combination closet and bathroom, as you can see." "By the way, you're welcome to any of these things." "I think they'd probably all fit you." "Oh, that's pretty." "...What, this one?" "... Mm-hmm." "Oh, yeah." "Rachel and I brought a lot of this stuff back from Guatemala a couple years ago." "Here." "Try it on." "That's okay." "No." "See how it looks on." "I'll wear it tomorrow." "Okay." "Sleep well." "Ugh!" "Ugh!" "Ugh!" "God!" "Fuck!" "Ugh!" "Well?" "Oh, yes!" "We did it!" "Hey, Harlan." "Good morning, Ruth." "Whatcha doin'?" "Just a little insurance." "You never know." "Hey, who are those?" "Uh, they're just some friends of mine that wanted to help out." "I'm gonna have to ask you to stay away from those windows." "Look, kid, why don't you just go in the kitchen and get yourself a cup of coffee, huh?" "Man." "...Good morning, Ruth." "... Morning!" "...Did you sleep okay?" "... What's going on?" "Oh, we're just making a few preparations for your trip to the clinic." "Uh, let me introduce you to a few very good people." "Peter..." "Hi, Ruth." "Briana Hey." "... And Fran." "Hi." "Remember us?" "From the window the other day." "...Tryin' to get you out." "... Got it." "Shit!" "Fuck!" "The "Baby Savers" are declaring a national alert." "A national alert?" "!" "And Jessica Weiss herself might declare a counter alert and fly in personally." "Jessica Weiss here?" "She's coming here?" "What?" "What?" "What?" "I thought you said everything's okay." "It is." "Everything is okay." "It's..." "It's just a little different now." "This might be hard to understand, but you're at the center of something really big now." "It's not just about you anymore." "It's more about the choice of millions of American women." "Oh!" "What'd I do now?" "!" "Nothing." "Nothing." "You didn't do anything." "Don't worry." "We're gonna make sure you have your appointment without any interference." "There may be a few more people around, and they may be yelling some ugly things, but don't let that bother you." "Ruth, we love you!" "Don't kill the baby!" "Ruth, don't do it!" "Save the baby!" "Ruth!" "Save the baby, Ruth!" "Save the baby!" "Ruth!" "Please, Ruth!" "Ruth, please!" "Save Tanya!" "Ruth!" "Don't kill Tanya!" "Listen, please don't kill the baby!" "Get her away from those windows!" "He's gonna try to kill me!" "I gotta get out of here!" "We're not gonna let anything happen to you." "The safest place for you right now is right here in this house." "Harlan has everything under control." "Don't kill the baby!" "Please!" "Ruth!" "Save the baby!" "You can't show weakness now." "You've got to prove to them that you're not gonna give in to their pressure." "We're gonna have to get her a special appointment tomorrow." "Okay." "Let's get a call in to Sarah." "It's ABC News." "They want an interview with Ruth." "Ruth is not giving any interviews!" "This is a private matter!" "Whoo!" "We're here!" "We're here!" "Frank, you old son of a gun." "I haven't seen you since Buffalo." "We took the kids to Florida, and then we stopped in Virginia to see the tomb of the unborn baby." "Yeah, this is unit 27." "We're still the only ones on scene." "We're gonna need some additional units out here." "Then there was that time in Wichita." "We were making the gridlock, you know." "And Lloyd had to take a piss so bad, he started turning' blue." "That's all right." "I've got an extra battery pack right here." "Right now there's sign painting in the Garden Room." "The press conference is in the Heritage Room." "...What?" "... Oh, here comes Norm now." "Hey, Norm, you sure got a big one on your hands." "All in a day's work." "Just doin' what the Lord asks." "God bless you, Norm." "So, we support Ruth, but we oppose the pro-abortion forces that are seeking to use her as a symbol by coercing her into doing something that she clearly doesn't want to do... butcher her unborn baby." "Uh, excuse me, Norm, but recent national alerts by the "Baby Savers"" "have not drawn anything like the numbers they used to." "Now, we know you had a big disappointment in Akron." "Realistically, how many people do you think will show up here?" "There has been a tremendous outpouring of Christian love and support." "So much so that concerned people from all across this nation, including Blaine Gibbons, our national chairman, are committed to Ruth." "So we're... we're expecting many, many people." "Thousands..." "in the next few days." "But we have something else very exciting to announce." "But we have something else very exciting to announce." "And for that, I'm going to turn the microphone over to Dr. Charlie Rollins, the director of our Tendercare Pregnancy Center." "Thank you, Norm." "Well, I am very proud to be able to say that an anonymous donor hearing of Ruth Stoops' plight was moved to reach out in a very special way." "I am holding here a check for $ 15,000 made out in the name of Ruth Stoops to be presented to her upon the birth of her child." "$ 15,000!" "The "Baby Savers" also said three different couples have volunteered to adopt Ruth Stoops' baby." "Meanwhile, anti-abortion protestors continue to arrive outside this house where Ruth Stoops is staying." "The house belongs to Diane Zeigler, an abortion-rights activist." "So the question on everyone's mind is" ""What will Ruth Stoops do?"" "Only she knows, and for now, she's not talking." "Don Mattox, Eyewitness News." "What the hell do you think you're doin'?" "I'm rich!" "Didn't you hear?" "I gotta go talk to Norm." "I gotta get that check." "No, no, no." "You're not going anywhere." "Ruth, listen to me." "Listen to me." "You've got to be very strong." "You've made your decision, and you've got to stick to it." "Wait." "It's my body, right?" "It's my choice, right?" "Can't I change my mind, huh?" "Can't I?" "Yes, of cour... of course you can change your mind." "That's what this is all about." "Just make sure you're doing it for the right reasons." "$ 15,000 might sound like a lot of money, but there are more important things to consider." "Like what?" "Come on, Ruth." "Do you think you're ready to have a child?" "Hey, I have four other kids, and I didn't make a cent." "Besides, they said they got people to adopt." "And can you stay off drugs and alcohol for the next 7 or 8 months?" "Don't forget." "You're facing very serious charges." "You may be forced to spend your entire pregnancy in jail." "Maybe longer." "I can give up drugs if I want." "God damn it!" "How come every time I want to do something somebody tries to keep me from doing it?" "!" "Why can't I ever do what I want?" "!" "Somebody's shouting." "Wa-a-a-nt!" "It's okay." "How can I turn down so much money?" "...Shh." "... I can't." "All my life I never had a chance." "If I had money, my life would be different." "I would have been such a good mother." "I have nothing to live for." "That's not true." "And, Ruth, don't forget." "If you reject the "Baby Savers"' offer, you'll send a strong message that a woman's choice can't be bought." "Send a message?" "What?" "What did I say?" "You want me to send a message?" "No." "No." "Wait a minute, Ruth." "Hold on!" "Ho-o-o-Id on!" "Hold on, lady!" "You don't want me to change my mind 'cause it's real important to you!" "But what about me?" "!" "I don't got anything!" "You all got everything!" "What are you gonna do for me, huh?" "!" "Are you gonna give me $ 15,000?" "!" "Sure." "I'll give you $ 15,000." "You will?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Hold on here." "...Yep." "... Harlan!" "You're not fuckin' with me, man, are you?" "'Cause if you're fuckin' with me..." "I never fuck with anyone." "Look, I got my Agent Orange settlement." "And if I can level the playing field for you, I will." "I won't let their fascist money be a factor in your decision." "So I'm gonna give you $ 15,000, Ruth, and you can do whatever it is you want to do." "Stop this, both of you, right now." "Does that mean if I have the baby, I could have $30,000?" "Okay." "Wait..." "Wait a minute." "Now, let me rephrase this." "$ 15,000 from them if you have the kid, and $ 15,000 from me if you don't." "Now you can choose freely again." "Harlan!" "You can't do this!" "I just did." "Blaine... here." "Let me help you." "Blaine..." "I can't tell you how much it means to me that you declared the alert and came so quickly." "No, Norman." "I'm grateful to you." "When you told me what was going on over here," "I was outraged." "More outraged than I've been in a long time." "And there's a lot of things in this country that outrage me." "Hello, Gail!" "Oh, God bless you, Blaine." "Come on." "The car's over here." "If this gets out, it'll do irreparable damage to us." "You know how it'll be perceived?" "Like we're paying her to have an abortion." "The "Baby Savers" will have a field day." "Look, girls, this has got nothing to do with anybody except Ruth and me." "You know, I've been providing security at the clinic for a long time, free of charge, because I believe in personal freedom." "And because I believe in personal freedom," "I'm gonna do what I want." "I'm acting as an individual here." "Okay." "So you're promising that Women's Health Services and pro-choice have absolutely nothing to do with this?" "Because we'll deny we ever..." "Don't get your panties in a wad, okay?" "Who do you think you're dealing with here?" "I was in the Special Forces!" "That's why the FHA makes home ownership possible for low-income people in the first place." "Take out a pencil and paper." "Good." "Now, make a column down the left-hand side listing all your assets." "Ruth!" "Ruth!" "We need to talk to you." "Hey, do you have a pen and paper?" "'Cause I need a pen and paper." "Yeah." "Could you step in here for a minute, please?" "I need a pen and paper." "The thing is, Ruth, about this, uh, deal between you and Harlan... you know, w- we've been talking, and, um, w- we just want to make sure that you understand." "They don't want you to tell anybody where you got the money." "...Okay." "... This is very important." "You can't tell anyone ever." "...Because if you do..." "... I won't." "Thank you, Ruth." "We really appreciate it." "Now can I have that pen and paper?" "Eric?" "You want to get me some ice?" "Sure, Blaine." "You're a great kid." "Did I ever tell you about Eric?" "Yeah." "His mother was standing on the steps of the abortuary about to go in and kill her baby." "And she heard a Christian voice, and that voice said," ""You don't have to go in there." ""God loves you." "God loves your baby. "" "So she stopped, with tears in her eyes, and she said," ""I'm an unmarried woman." ""I cannot afford the expenses of having a child." ""No one cared enough" ""to give me the strength to accept this baby." "No one but this one Christian man. "" "And that Christian man..." "was me." "Ha ha ha!" "Years later, at a rally," "I saw the young lady again." "And I said to her," ""What's this young man's name?"" "And she said, "This is Eric. "" "And that was the proudest day of my life." "Hey, Harlan." "Hey." "Thanks for that money." "No problem." "Are you married, Harlan?" "No, but I got a couple of ex's on the payroll." "You got a girlfriend?" "What?" "Are you comin' on to me?" "Because if you're coming on to me, you can just forget it." "I'm not comin' on to you." "I just wanted to thank you." "Well, I don't need your gratitude, okay?" "As a matter of fact, I hate gratitude." "Fine." "Tell me somethin', Ruth." "What are you gonna do with all that money?" "I know a way to get a house." "...A house?" "... Mm-hmm." "With the rest of the money, I'm gonna buy a car." "And, uh... set myself up in a business." "Or go to California." "I never saw the ocean." "Ruth, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you and I both know that money'd be gone in three days tops." "Fuck you, man!" "You don't know anything!" "What's the matter, Ruth?" "Can't you take a little tough love?" "Fuck you, loser." "Why don't you tell me about this... $ 15,000?" "We just thought..." "well, you know how the pro-abortionists are always accusing us of only caring about the baby while it's in the womb?" "Mm-hmm." "Go on." "Well, we wanted to show them that we're committed to the child after birth, too." "Ruth, uh, well, you know, she can barely support herself, let alone a baby." "And we didn't want money to be a factor in her decision." "Well, what a nice thought." "Of course, it would have been better had you passed it by me first." "That's enough." "Have you got any idea how far $ 15,000 goes today?" "Our fax bills just for a month are over $2,000." "Has it ever crossed your mind, have you ever thought about the fact... thank you... that maybe some people might think this is some cheap attempt to buy this girl... that we are trying to bribe her?" "!" "A few of us pledged all that we could to raise that $ 15,000." "And we all agreed not to have the picnic this year." "We might seem like small-town, unsophisticated people to you, but we've got our pride." "I know." "Maybe I am a little too passionate, but that's who I am." "That's why I founded this ministry." "That's why I lead this ministry." "I lead it with every pore and every fiber and every muscle in my being." "And if we really want to demonstrate our compassion and our commitment to saving lives... then maybe we should offer this girl at least $30,000." "Government foreclosures, bank foreclosures," "Government foreclosures, bank foreclosures, and estates in probate to name just a few." "WOMAN:" "This is the end of tape one, side two of the Larry Jarvik system." "To continue, go to tape two, side one now." "Shit!" "Baby Tanya doesn't have a voice, Ruth!" "Only us!" "Abortion is murder!" "Mngh!" "Mngh!" "Mngh!" "Yeah?" "I'm Carol Stoops." "I'm, uh, here to talk to my sister Ruth." "Sorry, lady." "Can't do it." "But Ruth's my sister." "Just tell her I'm here." "Just remember, it's a child, not a toy!" "And give her this note." "It'll prove to her who we are." "I'll see what I can do." "Now, move the vehicle off the property." "We'll park and come back." "Hey, Harlan!" "There's a woman here that says she's Ruth's mom." "If you're gonna crack an egg to make over-easys or..." "WOSome of those jugheads have been online... at the box office for two days." "Hey, Blaine." "Excuse me." "...Hey!" "Hey!" "... Hey!" "Hey!" "Hello." "Good afternoon." "...God bless you." "I'm Stan." "God bless you." "...God bless you, sir." "... Pleasure." "...I appreciate all your time." "... God bless you." "...Nice to meet you." "... Thank you, thank you." "Hi, Blaine." "...Thank you." "... You're welcome." "...Oh, looky here." "Oh." "Come on." "...Mr. Gibbons?" "... Yes, sir." "...Mr. Gibbons?" "... God bless you, sir." "We have a few questions for you." "You are, uh, network affiliated, right?" "MAN:" "It's Action News at 5:00 with Tom Daley and Barbara Spade," "Harv Kent at the sports desk and Skip Kirschner with weather." "Now, Ruth, if you can hear me, and I hope you can, we are with you." "We've been praying for you both day and night." "Earlier today, a generous donor offered to help you financially so that money would not play a part in your decision." "People all over the country have been moved by your plight in the same way, and their pledges are pouring in." "The phones have been ringing off the hook." "...You're offering money?" "... That's what I'm saying." "The fund for Ruth and her baby now stands at nearly $27,000." "...$27,000..." "Fuck!" "...donated by Americans who will not stand by and watch a baby die needlessly because her mother is poor." "Whoo!" "...$27,000!" "Harlan!" "Ugh!" "Harlan!" "I gotta go talk to Harlan." "I gotta go talk to Harlan." "Ruth..." "No." "Harlan!" "Harlan!" "Harlan!" "...Get her in the chair." "... Let me talk to him." "...Get her down." "... Ow!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "Where'd you get this bottle?" "Nowhere." "I found it." "Yeah, like maybe in the liquor cabinet in the kitchen?" "You know you're not supposed to be drinking." "What... for my baby?" "You don't give a fuck about my baby." "You want me to kill my baby!" "But they want me to have my baby, and they're gonna give me $27,000 for it." "I'm gonna go talk to Harlan!" "...Shut up!" "Enough!" "... Harlan!" "You listen to me, and you listen good." "I have spent nine months in a secret life among people I hated, and I've blown all that work on you." "We have been up for 36 hours making all the arrangements, trying to make everything as easy as possible for you, and this is how you repay us." "Fuck off!" "I don't care!" "My body belongs to me!" "And if you don't let me talk to Harlan," "I'm gonna go have my baby right now!" "I want to go talk to Harlan." "Sleep it off." "Eat me, dyke." "Uhh-uh." "Don't give up on us." "...We all love you." "We're praying for you." "Uhh!" "...Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Oh!" "Ow!" "Oh, God." "Yeah?" "How you doin' today?" "I don't feel too good." "I feel kind of strange." "I'm sorry I lost my temper last night." "So, what do you think?" "You still considering their offer?" "Okay." "Okay, then." "Okay, well, listen, whenever you're ready, come on downstairs, okay?" "Diane?" "Yeah?" "There's somethin' important I want to tell you." "This morning when I woke up..." "HARLAN:" "Diane, do you read me?" "Yeah, Harlan." "What's up?" "Over." "She's coming in." "Have Ruth stand by." "Oh, boy." "Uh, yeah." "It's earlier than expected, but there was nothing I could do." "We got to get her out of here right away." "Uh, so, I'm sorry." "What were you saying?" "Oh, uh, I just wanted to know about that money." "Did Harlan tell you where he was gonna leave that money?" "That's between you and him." "Where did he say it would be?" "At the clinic on the bottom-right shelf behind the front desk in a black bag." "Then that's where it'll be." "It's Jessica Weiss." "Just like old times." "Green light, ladies." "Here we go." "There they go!" "Ruth, no!" "...Hello." "... Hello." "...Hello." "... You must be Ruth." "I'm very pleased to meet you." "You're a very brave and special woman." "What?" "!" "Ruth!" "Ruth, honey, don't do it!" "Mom?" "Ruthie, honey, don't do it!" "I seen you on TV, and I came right away!" "...Ruth, you listen to me!" "Don't you do it!" "What if I'd aborted you?" "At least I wouldn't have had to suck your boyfriend's cock!" "Don't you bring that up again!" "That's ancient history!" "I've been saved." "Fuck you!" "Ruthie, don't you do it." "...Take the money!" "... Fuck you!" "Ruthie!" "Tanya's on the move!" "Move it!" "Move it, move it, move it!" "Come on, let's get to that clinic!" "Hurry!" "We'll stop them at the clinic!" "Come on, now!" "Yeah?" "10 minutes, everybody." "They're at the airport." "Oh, we're going in this?" "Wow!" "This is all wrong." "No, we are not going in this." "This is sending entirely the wrong message." "Do you have any idea how many strings I had to pull to get the only bulletproof vehicle in the state?" "Come on, you guys, let's go!" "What are they doing?" "Well, they've got to turn..." "Norman, move it!" "...Move it, move it!" "... I Move..." "Move it!" "M" " Move!" "Turn!" "Yeah, yeah." "All right." "Move!" "Let's go." "Jessica Weiss, it's an honor to have you." "I'm Sarah Schneider." "Oh, Sarah, we've spoken before." "I've been looking forward to meeting you." "...Well, Dr. Cary Milton." "... How do you do, Doctor?" "...So pleased to meet you." "...Oh, you must be Ruth Stoops?" "... Mm-hmm." "Ruth, I'm gonna ask you to go fill out some papers and have a blood test, and then you'll meet with another woman and myself for counseling, okay?" "You'll be fine, just fine." "You'll be all right." "Y" " Yeah." "Where's the bag?" "Ruth, don't start this." "I'm not giving fuckin' blood without that bag." "...God, it's great." "... We loved it." "We read it from one cover to the other and back again." "...You got a bag for me?" "... Well, thank you." "I had a great deal of help with the research on it." "...There you go." "... That's it." "Oh, I'd be happy to." "Oh, well, thank you." "Pull 'em in." "Line 'em up." "Line 'em up." "Okay, in the last seven months, have you visited any of the following countries..." "Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Burkina Faso?" "Excuse me, um, where's the bathroom?" "Thank you, thank you, thank you." "Come on, man." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Baby killers!" "Murderers!" "Uh!" "Uh!" "Uh!" "...Uh!" "Uh!" "Oh." "Uhhh!" "Uh!" "Uhh!" "Ruth, is everything all right in there?" "Yeah, just need a minute!" "All right, take your time." "Oh!" "Ohh!" "Ohh!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Hey, what are you doin'?" "Shut the fuck up or you're dead!" "Jesus..." "Uhh!" "I told you to shut the fuck up, you big fuck!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "...Save Baby Tanya!" "... Pro-choice now!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "God won't forgive you for this, Ruth!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "...Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "...Shit!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "...Save Baby Tanya!" "... People, get out of here!" "...Save Baby Tanya!" "... Go on!" "...Save Baby Tanya!" "... Get out of here!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "Save Baby Tanya!" "WOMAN:" "This is tape two, side one of the Larry Jarvik system." "Welcome back." "We've discussed the difference between liquid assets, frozen assets, and what I like to call captive assets." "And by now, you've filled in the chart on page 113." "Keep the chart handy while we figure the capitalization rate on your investment." "You'll see how simple it is to turn short-term paper into long-term, interest-free income." "I'll walk you through one example, and you can go back and do the calculations again, substituting your own numbers." "Say you're buying a fourplex with an asking price of $ 150,000, and your net operating-income figure is $9,000." "Divide the operating income into the asking price and what do you get?" "That's right... 6%." "Now, do your own calculations, and when we continue," "I'll finish talking about asset conversion." "Remember to bear in mind rule two of my Seven Golden Rules for Success." "Shit!"
