"He has absolutely no patience." "Like, five minutes to us seems like an hour to him." "And I don't know, you know, what it is that makes him that way." "He didn't used to be quite like that." "And he flares up real easy." "Mostly to me, I think." "Because we kinda, you know, battle back and forth and everything and I can say one word and he'll take it wrong, you know?" "So then he's mad." "But he's gotten pretty demanding and stuff like that." "You wanna go see my new knife now?" "Not right now." "I got one." "Mhmm." "Quit it." "It's stuck." "Oh, I need butane and cigarettes." "You already mentioned that about four times." "Okay." "At least I got it in your system." "Like I said, I don't know about the butane." "Harley." "What?" "Quit pounding." "What?" "Shhh." "Told you about that." "Okay!" "Get crunk." "I'll just get the cheap ones." "Dude." "Hey, man, I'm trying to find something that's 15 cents." "Then I'll buy it."

"There." "Just because you owe me." "I don't owe you anything." "Yes, you do." "She's on this medicine, you know, sleeping medicine and it puts her out." "But, yeah." "She's always cooped up in the house in her room watching TV or something." "And I wish that she could actually be there to experience the world, you know?" "All right, here we go moment to go, get on in, got two pies left." "Here we go..." "Who give a 100 dollar bill there for Randy Bloomfield." "Hundred dollar bill there." "Two hundred dollar now, gonna get three hundred." "Gonna get three." "Five, six." "Don't let him run away with it!" "Fourteen, fifteen, we're getting close to the record." "Nineteen hundred now, 2,000!" "I got 2,000 now, looking at 21, 28, now nine, now nine, 3,000, 3,000," "3,000!" "We all know that records are made to be broken." "We got four more pies here." "If we can break that four more times then wouldn't nobody challenge Rich Hill would they?" "Let's go after them." "It's not fair." "Fucking idiots didn't even give me a straw." "You're lucky you got the pop." "Keep bitching and I'll throw it away." "How could I drink a pop without a straw?" "You gonna push me?" "No." "Shut up about it." "We did good, girls." "High five." "High five." "Once I finally got here and actually started helping." "Now we'll get all this shit taken home, get all these people taken home," "I'll go up and get lunch, we'll veg out while we eat lunch and then my kids are gonna start deep cleaning." "This straw sucks, I've broken it." "No, that's how it was whenever I got it." "You can have my straw." "Thank you." "I just want a straw." "Shit." "You're gonna finish your room, the boys are gonna do their room." "What the fuck?" "This is disgusting." "Can someone help me with this?" "Tara, I have no fucking room to clean." "Yeah, I'm gonna laugh when you get in trouble." "All the chores are done?" "That's why we're all out here playing?" "Appachey!" "He's in the shed, Mommy!" "I can't clean 'cause there's baskets everywhere." "You can clean." "You can put this stuff back where it goes, now." "I can't, Mom, there's baskets everywhere!" "There's not baskets by the wall!" "What am I supposed to do with it?" "Get it picked up." "Mom, I, I can't move both couches 'cause there's shit everywhere." "So move the fucking baskets." "Where am I supposed to put them?" "In here!" "Where does it look like I'm putting them?" "The whole goddamn couch on top of them." "I fucking do it and everybody starts fucking acting stupid." "Fucking ridiculous." "No one wants to listen." "I would get a bag and start picking up the trash on the floor." "I'm tired of spending my fucking days off doing this shit." "No one will fucking do what they're told to do." "I work hard enough during the fucking week," "I shouldn't have to clean on my days off." "Shit should already fucking be done." "How are you doing the face?" "The eyes are done?" "Not reddened in yet, but the outline's done." "Oh, all right." "Get a picture!" "What, what." "You ain't got no pancake mix, what?" "Can't handle all this." "Did you take one with the cigarette in my mouth, though?" "Yeah, I got one with the cigarette in your mouth, but you might not be able to send one to your mom with it." "Trick or treat!" "Yeah, trick or treat." "Yeah." "You love us!" "Ain't we too old for this?" "Uncle Jimmy!" "What are you doing?" "Y'all out having fun?" "Yeah." "Man there's been peeps all over the place running around here, you know that?" "Is there?" "Here, you need more." "I need more." "All right, Uncle Jimmy." "He gave me a handful and then he gave me another big handful and said "You need more."" "Funny." "Man, we need to hit more houses 'cause no chocolate's not working for me." "I ate all my chocolate." "I think." "Man." "Yup, I ate all my chocolate." "That's for sure." "That's what I go trick or treating for." "I don't even check the candy." "I mean, what..." "The worst thing they're gonna do is shove a razor blade and if they're that stu-, if they got that much stupidity in them then it's not even worth having them alive." "I don't think so." "I mean, who wants to kill a couple of kids?" "That's why I got strong feelings about rape, too." "I don't like it." "I'm against it." "'Cause there are some things that have happened to me that I don't really talk about, but they still happened." "I mean, I ain't forgot about 'em." "I I basically try to forget about 'em, don't think about it, and then it don't really, it don't come up too much in conversation." "That and anybody that, anybody that rapes a kid should be murdered, should just be shot." "Like, the cops should just shoot him." "Is the way I feel about it." "That or the kid that was raped by that person should shoot them theirself." "I don't see nobody." "Grandma, you're gonna have to get on my eyes." "Do up around my eyebrow ring and stuff." "Like that, please." "You gotta kinda squat down a little." "I'm gonna try not to hit the eyebrow ring." "It don't matter." "Does it hurt?" "No." "Ever?" "We wanted to get out of Rich Hill because we couldn't make it there." "So we ended up packing up and moving here to Thayer." "I was so desperate when I first got here." "I got this old time push mower." "And I went out and mowed three yards with that and made $20." "I went and bought me a cheeseburger and some football gloves." "I'm so tired of moving." "It's like a joke now." "Moving, packing and moving." "I honestly think that God's gonna give me friends and God's gonna give me people that hate me." "God's gonna give me girls that like me." "So I just let it all form together," "I just stay to myself, and whenever I get friends, I have friends." "I want you to read one of your questions here from lesson one." "I mean, I hate moving, but I know if we do, we do." "I have no say in what happens." "They're the parents, I'm just a kid."

"And I went out on the first of July, that night, and when I finally did come to Willie told me," "Willie told me what day it was and I'm like, no way." "You know, that's enough."

"Just out here." "Oh, okay." "It's too cold out here, I'm going back in." "You wanna go in?" "Let's go in." "I was thinking about moving to China." "Think about moving to China and becoming an art teacher." "'Cause paintings and stuff from China are friggin' awesome." "You get to sit there and draw dragons all day."

"And she wasn't a danger to society." "There's only a few people that really actually know the whole truth." "I was raped." "By my stepfather." "The cops didn't get called, nothing happened." "We, it was best to just leave it alone." "They didn't even bring up charges against him." "They won't." "No, they said they wouldn't because there wasn't enough evidence." "Yeah, there wasn't enough evidence." "So she's locked up for nothing and he goes scot-free." "Yup." "I'm just a waitress and a mother that loves her kids." "There's nothing really special about me."

"I know you don't feel 100%, but..." "I don't even feel 50%." "We've been at school for a month and two weeks and every day except one you have shown up in this office..." "No, about five or six." "...to call your grandma and go home and that's not an option." "I can't barely breathe and you want me to stay here and suffer through it." "Harley, there is a lot of people here who aren't 100%." "And they're still gonna make it work." "And I need you to make it work." "I barely can breathe." "On your contract that I have on my desk, the contract you signed with the juvenile office, and I said..." "I didn't even wanna sign that!" "But you did." "I had to." "There was no choice in it for me." "You're right." "You have to be in school." "I have to be in school, but if I can't..." "You played the sick card too much." "I can't..." "You wanna go to...?" "You're gonna..." "Harley." "I'm just gonna lose it." "You're gonna see me lose my temper and I..." "You don't need to lose your temper." "I cannot breathe." "If I need to be treated for it, then I need to be treated." "I'm just letting you know where I'm at on the situation." "If you sign out and leave without your grandmother's permission you are truant." "You know where I'm at on this, right?" "I'll walk home because I honestly don't care if they..." "You understand if you walk home" "I have to call Anthony at the juvenile office and they're gonna come and pick you up." "Well, you're not giving me any more options." "You have given yourself no more options." "The most important thing for you is your education." "Most important thing for me is my family, that's all I need." "I don't need a education," "I could make it out there on my own without an education." "Okay." "I'm just going home, Mr. Ruddert, 'cause my grandma's not here." "You know what's gonna happen if you do." "What?" "You're gonna be truant, I have to call it in." "Well, you won't let me call and speak with my grandmother." "That's right, 'cause you abused that privilege." "Alls I'm doing is asking her if she's still coming in." "That's all you did the day before and the day before and the day before."

"He's getting to the point where he's really volatile." "You know, and I think we had talked about that before and stuff and it's escalated from there." "What's your opinion on what we need to do about it?" "I would say, you know, have the meds checked first, like, 'cause I don't think they're working." "It's... something has to get figured out." "Right, yeah." "We're doing no good right now." "Yeah, yeah." "If something has to be done, it could mean removal from your home." "Yeah." " All right?" " Okay, bye-bye." "What I'm afraid of is Anthony picking me up and taking me to DYS or something." "Let me tell ya, you keep walking out, he will." "If you agree, you know, to go wherever, you know, for a week or something like that and have your meds evaluated then maybe they won't be so hard on ya." "But if you keep walking out of school, yes." "He will pick you up and I won't have any say-so in it." "Yeah, all right." "All right?" "All right." "All right." "Sorry." "All right." "Whenever I move I always say," ""Oh, I don't wanna move, Dad, I have friends here," you know?" "God wanted us to come back here for a reason." "I haven't found it out yet, but I will." "My dad, he's having troubles making money." "We're living with my cousins." "We have clothes on our back." "We have food in our stomach." "But we don't have a roof over our head." "It ain't ours." "It ain't ours to do what we want with it." "♪ Out in the Big Bend ♪" "♪ Doing it all to ghost town baritone campfire songs ♪" "♪ Wild like a roadrunner I belong ♪" "♪ To the far out post to carry on ♪" "There just isn't no work." "Dates changed, plans changed and everything changes." "And it all could have probably been fixed with $1500 which makes it sad." "And just can't make that, I mean, you can't make that in a week or two or a month, and down there it really slowed down." "He does not like to hold a steady job, he does not like to hold a steady career." "And that's another reason why he isn't a top dog, you know?" "He wants to start to try to do new things." "Like, first he was into inventing stuff and singing and then went back to inventing and now he's wanting to go dig for gold or silver or something like that, prospecting." "I mean, that's my dad's thing, it's his life, he has to live it, you know?" "He only has one life to live." "Only thing anybody wants is money." "A lot of people are like that." "And me, I don't care." "I mean, I'm tired of money, I'm gonna go get gold." "Diamonds." "Whether it's Alaska or Australia or go to England." "That's the solution." "Can't find a job, go get some gold." "Platinum, silver, whatever." "Oh, fuck." "Don't fuck with me." "Kind of gun you got, bitch?" "He's jamming our radar." "I got in a fight at school." "A kid kicked me in the nuts, so I punched him in his face." "And then I went to court 'cause they kicked me out for 45 days and I can't go to school." "Assault is the charge they're using against me." "So we contacted them and they wouldn't forgo the suspension so I have to go to Cass County Detention Center to finish out school." "Yeah, he killed me." "Fuck, yeah." "All he has to do is go to school, keep his hands to himself, keep his mouth to himself, do his schoolwork and he could succeed and go on to the middle school." "And the day after we had this conversation with him, again, is the day that he assaulted another student." "That fucking sucks." "I know how it's gonna happen already." "We'll go before the judge, the judge'll lift the suspended sentence, and he'll go to detention until he goes to DYS." "It's kinda like a prison type procedure." "I think it'll be the best thing for him." "It's a structured environment." "His attitude will definitely change within the first two weeks, and they'll keep him till he's ready for society again." "I do think it'll be the best thing for him, but it still breaks my heart that he has to go." "That's my baby." "But I've done everything I can for him." "I feel bad because I'm gonna be relieved, but I don't know." "He's just, he's hard to deal with." "I love him with all of my heart, but I need a break." "Guess they cut, they took down the clothesline pole I put up last year." "Maybe one of the boys' friends will come by and have a crowbar so I could take the tire off, take the wheel and the spindle and all that off." "Everything seems to be all right for today, though, except that wheel." "Just waiting on the tools." "Andrew wants to get a Charger, that's what he wants for his birthday." "By the time he gets of age to drive no telling what I will have." "Four wheel drives or probably some dune buggies." "Maybe even a four wheeler." "Good, maybe she has a four way in her trunk." "Hey, Andrew, ask her if she's got a four way in the trunk." "What?" "Something to take the wheel off." "Mine's in Dina's van." "If she got time." "I forgot it was in there." "No." "Well, I'll just have to do it later." "Come here." "I don't think I like him running with this new crowd that he's starting to hang around with." "He's getting distant." "Getting distant." "Kids are hard headed." "My dad, he has goals that he wants to achieve in life and I'm kinda right there with him, wanting to help him, you know?" "All he really wants is someone to be proud." "And I don't think that he understands that I'm proud of him whether or not he does anything, you know?" "Just get on it." "I know that my dad's gonna end up finding a decent place." "I mean, we might end up moving a couple more times, but I'm gonna be settling down somewhere." "I don't know where yet, but, I will." "I don't know." "You can't ever plan the future." "I've always thought that I could, but it don't work like that." "Keep practicing." "Dear Mom." "I've been out of school a month." "I broke my neck." "Just kidding." "The principal said that I ain't getting any credits for this semester so they unenrolled me." "No, I don't have a girlfriend yet." "Big capital letters." "Love ya, from Harley." "Um, what did I do with those stamps?" "Oh, God, please tell me..." "Can I put it upside down and would it matter?" "Does it?" "I'm gonna put it upside down 'cause that's what she did to this one." "I'm gonna put it upside down 'cause that's what she did to this one." "What I do with that other stamp?" "Did anybody see me, what I did with it?" "I took one off..." "There it is, okay." "Got it, just in case." "This one goes back in here." "Thirty-one, two." "Thirty-one hundred now, make it thirty-two." "Thirty-one, two, thirty-two, thirty-one, are you done?" "We did it last year and we did it again!" "How about that?" "It's only money." "Arm wrestle, punk, arm wrestle." "Oh, no, it's not." "Don't think so, buddy." "I don't think so!" "Fire!" "USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA..." "Do you think about how it will be for your mom when she gets out?" "She'll have a job, she'll have a job." "Hopefully." "Why are you so confident?" "'Cause it's my mom, I gotta have some confidence." "What, you're not laughing no more?" "I gotta tell some jokes for you to laugh, looking at me through the lens like it's some special lens or something." "It's just a special face behind the lens." "Yeah, see, there you go, laugh." "Boom!" "Yeah, I'm a smart kid." "I might not be book smart, but I got a lot of street knowledge." "Maybe not a lot, a lot, but I got some." "Oh, this is my bus." "Bye." "Love you." "I'll see you tonight." "I'll see you all later." "Are you gonna be at school?" "Maybe." "You're gonna go back to sleep first."
