All Things Are Giving From This Universe
My name is Claireece "Precious" Jones.
I wish I had a skinny girlfriend /> a little pale with nice hair.

I'm really serious.
As if, I'll make a breakthrough .
Or someone will make a breakthrough for me.
I'll be a normal person...
... and listen carefully, and sit in front of the class.
Distributive principles...
Someday.

I suppose he is my husband and we live in a place like Westchester.
Look at him. He likes me, I know that. </ P>

This is Sandra Lichenstein wanting to meet Claireece and Mrs. Mary Johnston.
Who is that, Precious? </ P>
Women from my school. </ P>
What do you want? </ P>
Claireece, I want to discuss about your education. </ P>
Ban the woman.
My mother doesn't want to lose allowance.
And that's the result of his visit.
Miss Lichenstein, go from here before I hit you.
Alright, Claireece, I've talk to Mr. Wicher...
... and he said, you are one of the best math students.
If you don't ask a woman it left here...

Alright.
I don't know what the alternative school is, but I want to know. / p>
My heart feels warm.
Mr. Wicher thinks I'm a good student.
I know that he likes me.
The school won't help anyone!
Go to the MOSA office.
Who do you think he is?
So you think you this is beautiful, huh? You arrogant woman. </ P>

Just because he gave you many children compared to me...
... do you think you are something special?
Fuck you and with it!
Precious!
Precious! Precious! </ P>
Come down here, Bitch! </ P>
Kau yang bawa wanita kulit putih itu ke rumahku!
Why did you bring the woman here?
I didn't bring her here.
Why did she ring my bell?
I can't hear you , Precious. </ P>
Since you talked a lot...
... and will bring the girl to my house...
... Why does that bastard ring my bell?
I didn't tell him come here.
Now I'm thinking, you feel as if it has become adult woman.
Because the garbage you cooks in the kitchen.
I should make you paralyzed, but I let you just leave...
... and let yourself hang out.
But I'll tell you, if you do that again...
.... this will be your last day stand there...
I promise that.
You told the woman to come to my bell?
Discuss education about higher?
You're a fool. You won't ever know anything. </ P>
Nobody wants and needs you. </ P>
You've finished wasting your time and making love with my boyfriend....
... and have 2 children...
... and one of them like animals...
.... running around, looking crazy like an idiot.
Do you know what? I think you try to test my patience. </ P>
I think you're messing with me. You're messing with my money. </ P>
And you're standing there < and glared at me...
... like a jerk.
I'll show you what is done by real women.
You don't know what is done by real women.
A real woman sacrifices.
I should suggest you when get pregnant. Because you are nothing. </ P>

I never said like that.
You said that nonsense, and you're not even serious? </ p >
I'm not playing games. No, and he's calling... Wait.
Each One Teach One, please wait.
Yes. He called my house. I know it's not your sister, Trey. </ P>
Because it's not him. </ P>
What's the place here? </ P>
Each One Teach One.

This is an alternative school.
What is an alternative school?
What exactly did you ask?
The woman at my school who used to be asked me to come here.
Hotel Theresa. Said this is an alternative school. </ P>
Alternative schools, like one choice. This is a different way to do it all. </ P>
So, I need an expenditure letter that they got you out of school.
I got kicked out of school because of being pregnant.
I still need that expenditure letter, if not, you can't enter
Miss Lichenstein didn't allude to that.
Only you contacted her.
Claireece P. Jones?
They have sent a letter your expenses from school. </ P>
I can start today? </ P>
Yes. Did you recently receive an Allowance Fund? </ P>
Ibuku mendapatkan Dana Tunjangan buat aku dan putriku.
So your mother has been bearing you and your daughter. </ P>
Alright, I'll give you a copy of your mother's dependents...
... and a copy of the telephone and bills for your house.
We have to give you some tests, reading and math tests...
... so we know where put you.
Wait, baby. Each One Teach One, wait. </ P>
To enter the GED class, you have to get the value 8.0 in the ABE test. </ P>
There is always a wrong with this test.
This test made me realize that I'm not smart.
This test made me aware that my mother and I... < /p>
... all my family, no more than fools.
Only black people are wasted who are looking for work.
Terkadang aku berharap agar aku mati saja.
I think I'll be fine, because I'm looking up.
Looking up for seeing a piano falling.
Or a table, sofa, TV... Maybe Mother.
Something always blocks my path.
Yes, friend.
Make sure you get it also for me, friend.
Alternative.
You have to stop suck it, friend.
Not only is that the only who will kill you.
Prostitution in this area will kill you.
That's what happened.
Then my mind returned to real world.
Let me touch the butt that, killer whale!
What's wrong, mama?
Why are the young men always being rude?
Kau dengar apa kataku? Kubilang, berikan bokong itu padaku.
I'm serious! When will you let me touch that? </ P>
The woman laughs...
I hope they want leave me. </ P>

What happened? </ P>
The first thing crossed your mind...
... when you thought of home?
I wish I had my own TV, so I could watch it in my room.
If I had my own TV, I wouldn't watch it with my mother.
How about watching TV with your mother?
You enjoy watching TV with your mother?
I need to know about the life of your house and
My mom is like a whale on the couch.
She eats all the time, but she always makes me eat.
Then he calls me a person fat disgusting.
He said, his apartment was small because of me.
Only once did he go for <br
It feels like I'm sitting at home every day with him...
... until night comes...
... watching TV, eating, watching TV, eating again.
Can you help me with that?
Can we talk about just another matter?

Mongo?
Mongo is... What is it...
Mongo. That stands for from "Mongoloid." </ P>
Once you call him? Or is that... What is that? Nickname? </ P>
He's suffering from Down's syndrome. </ P>
How are you, Precious? </ P>
My grandmother Toosie brought the little one Mongo to our house....
... when the social worker comes, so looks like he lives with us.
Answer the door.
You see your behavior ? Damn it.
Then my mom got me money and food stamps for me and Mongo.
Who is this?
This is Miss Turner.
The social worker who came.
Why didn't you say woman the jerk came faster?
My fake hair Bring me hair fake!
Get on!
Where is the message?
Thank you.
- Let me go. - Leave the child, please.
Just think about Mother's business.
- Hi, Precious. - Hey.
- Hello, Miss Turner. How are you? - Hi, Mary. How are you? </ P>
Please forgive. My grandson made a mess. </ P>
Please sit down. Sorry if things are falling apart. </ P>
Thank you. </ P>
How are you, Mary? </ P>
I'm really fine, Miss Turner. Thank you. </ P>
When was the last time you took him to the doctor? </ P>
Precious, when did we bring him? </ P>
Last month.
Yes, date 16. Yes, ma'am.
Good, and what did the doctor say?
They said, the progress < br /> really good.
She's really healthy.
- That's good. - Yes, ma'am.
Have you been looking for work?
Already, Miss Turner. But they all say the same thing. </ P>
He said, they will contact back. They will contact me. </ P>
When did you find a job? </ P>
I looked for work last week and filled out some job applications. </ P>
And they all said things the same, they will contact me.
Mother!
No! No!
What is a new microwave oven?

Thank you for your time.
Thank you very much, Miss Turner. Have a nice day.
- And you. See you later, Sheila. - See you later. </ P>
Take this damn child. Bring him. </ P>
Move around and chatter while I talk to that jerk.
It makes me itchy.
He spits out his sweets on the floor.
Basic animals.
Will you give the candy to him? Put the candy back on the floor!
Then you pick it up and give it to him.
You're really stupid. Just like this child.
That woman will come here and I have to pretend?
I'm really sick This will.
I don't know what Mother shakes her head.
Mother's work is incompetent.
What do you know? Let's talk about your father. </ P>
Tell me about your relationship with him. </ P>
I don't know more from you, Miss White. </ P>
That's right Miss Weiss. </ P>
Talk about the little you know about your father...
... because it's important, do you find out or no.
He gave me this baby and the other before that, but...
What did you give you?
No, Claireece, you I said...
... if your father gave you something.
- I heard you said... - You heard nothing.
- I heard you said your father... - I didn't say anything like that
I don't care, honey.
- I need to know this. - Let's continue.
I need to know this to help you.
- Can we change the topic? - Okay.
Then, see you later. Or maybe you will meet people another.
But you have to talk to someone if you want your allowance, baby.
I also saw vampires.
They came at night. They say, I'm one of them. </ P>
They say, "Precious, you are ours." </ P>
Then they go down to downstairs.
People who live under our , they are vampire...
... so that's where they are should go.
They are so filthy.
Leave the dirty pads and dirt in the trash.
They don't even throw away the contents.
They don't have education about the cleanliness of the house.
I've also seen a doctor. I'm healthy� just fine.
Ms. Rain was shocked to learn that I never went to the doctor before.
Somehow I gave my child on the kitchen floor...
... with mom kicking my head.
Everything you say...
... when you say, say anything
That's the end of the allowance fund.
I just can't lie anymore. I shouldn't report it.
Mother will kill me.
You fool!
Are we done?
I didn't do this with you today.
At night, we went out for a school visit.
These girls are crazy.
Nobody holds my hand like that before.
... as a candidate of choice Democratic party...
... for United States presidential candidates.
... and by destroying it, we don't know now...
... and testimony what you will give give is really honest...
I still have dreams.
A dream that is deeply rooted in American dreams .
I have a dream that someday...
... this nation will rise and live the true meaning of...
I will teach everything to my baby.
"We hold this truth to understand by itself...
... that all humans were created equal. "
There is no fear. That's bullshit.
You mean, writing all the new one?
No, if I need to explain myself to you guys...
- You will know. - Do you think I'm stupid? <
Yes, God. That I believe in you?
That I think are you amazing?
Yes, but I don't know what to do.
Alright, work together. Who is next?
I like writing.
- Please, Rhonda. < br /> - I'm also happy to be in school.

" And how is Jesus, Son Allah, Messiah, Jehovah sent. "
What is a fairy tale?
Sit down.
Has anyone done this assignment?
I said this school is nothing. </ p >
He said, you can't learn anything by writing in books.
- It's a fairy tale titled "Enchanted." - He was wrong about that. I studied.
"A long time ago, in a remote country...
... there lived a beautiful princess named Joann-a.
"He is very smart and very high...
... and every young man loves him, big and small."
"Except for idiot youths who are so stupid and dumb.
" And among all the young men who loved him, he was the one who was slender. " - Just up to that. - That's a good start. </ P>
Thinking about the little one Mongo. I miss him. </ P>
That's how you start fairy tale.
I'm glad my baby will be born.
I'll read for this baby and improve the story.
Listen, baby. Mother is not a fool.
Mother loves you. Listen.
"In ancient times, there was a magical princess...
... who lives in a bubble magically under the sea.
"And he's from the mainland."
Stop screaming. </ P>
His name is Abdul Jamal Lewis Jones. </ P>
Namanya Abdul Jamal Lewis Jones.

First, I don't eat McDonald's food & apos; s. </ P>
Secondly, you also don't need eat McDonald's & apos; s.
The food is not healthy.

I want organic food like you eat.

But now, you will
Are you a doctor?
- Are you the doctor? - I'm a doctor?
- Yes. - I'm a nurse assistant. </ P>
Nurse John-John. </ P>
Is that funny? </ P>
You're a man. </ P>
- Never seen male nurse? - Never.
You don't look like that.
I'm a male nurse. I'm Nurse John McFadden.
So you were in that room when she gave birth? </ P>
You saw hers between...
Joann, don't be dirty! </ P >
What happened? Did he scream?
It hurts.
A tough girl like you has to scream?
- Not so tough when the baby comes out. - It feels sick and hot.
- Are you married? - Shut up!
You have a boyfriend ?
- Why ask? He doesn't have a crush on you. - How do you know? </ P>
Why don't you stop just being a 10-minute jerk? </ P>
What's with people
You don't have a crush on him, right?
If only I had a watermelon in that cup.
So he could devour you ?
Alright. I have to go.
No, it's okay. It's okay.
May I can kiss too, Nurse John?
- Good afternoon, ladies. - Bye, Nurse John.
- Bye! - Good evening, Nurse John-John! </ P>
Precious and John-John...
Sit in a tree...
- B-E-R-C-I-N-T-A. - Shut up! Your talk is dirty. </ P>
Do you think he'll miss the night here? </ P>
Now he will write about Nurse John in his book! </ P>
"Dear Mrs. Rain...
" I have been sitting in class for years, I never knew. </ P>
"Now I have a baby again from
"I wish I had a girlfriend like other girls.
" Then I will feel fine when I have to stop going to school. </ p >
"I love my child, but I also want to go to school.
" Social workers ask if I want to give little Mongo...
... and Abdul to be adopted. I want to kill him.
"He never helped. Now he wants to take my children?
"Jika dia mengambil Abdul, aku takkan punya apa-apa lagi."
"Dear Precious...
" I think your first responsibility is to finish your education.
"If you take care of Abdul, you might not have whatever.
"You learn to read and write. That's everything.
" Come back to school after you leave the hospital. </ p >
"You're only 17 years old."
This looks like a giant condom.
Use it for Nurse John.
No looks like that. Your hair looks messy.
- I'll give you a gay man. - Shut up!
I bring your daily.
Thank you. </ P>
What's wrong? </ P>
Nothing. </ P>
Are you sure? </ P>
Yes, I'm sure.
Alright. I'm bored. I want to go . See you later.
See you later, Mrs. Toosie.
Your mouth is so dirty.
Your hat is very ugly.
That's what's wrong, you hang out with a woman like that.
This is your baby
This might be the last time you saw it.
My grandmother came to visit and said...
"Only dogs leave Her child and just leave. "
Even dogs don't have the heart.
Then say, " Even dogs don't have the heart. "
Grandma is proud of you. Not like your mother.
"Where is your grandmother when your father raping you?
" Where is little Mongo now? "
"What's the best thing for you in a situation like this?"
"Mrs. Rain, you're too much asking.
" Sometimes I hope I can stop breathing. </ P>
"Aku hanya ingin menjadi ibu yang baik."
"Being a good mother means allowing Abdul to be raised...
... by someone who is able to fulfill his needs rather than yourself."
"Ms. Rain, I'm the best person who can fulfill my child's needs." </ P>
"Who will help you? </ P>
" How will you support your life? <
"How are you going to keep learning to read and write?"
"The allowance helps Mother."
"You see how much money allowances have helped your mother.
"You can get your GED...
... and can go to college. You can do anything, Precious. "
Are you back?
What is his name?
May I carry him?
Hey, Precious.
Hey. </ P>
Do you have children? </ P>
Seorang anak laki-laki.
Where have you been all this time?
Let me see it.
May I carry him?
He looks like his father. </ p >
He gave him the name Abdul.
Put your luggage and get me a drink.
Bitch!
- You bitch! < br /> - Are you crazy?
I'm crazy? Bitch, if I...
You've ruined my life! </ P>
You took my girlfriend, you got those kids... </ p >
... and you make me lose allowance because of your mouth!
I'm not stupid and I don't take Mother's girlfriend. </ P>
Nobody raped you! </ P>
Bitch, don't touch me! </ P>
Mary, leave the girl itself! </ P >
Can I see the baby now?
B... C... D...
E... F... G... H... .
I... J... K...
I've been tired of shopping.
Yes, because they tried to take your money.
They don't...
I'll call the police.
Tell me what you see behind there.
I can tell from Mrs. Rain's face if I won't have a place to live anymore.
I just don't know where I'm going to end.
I'll wait. </ p >
I feel bad for him.
He is just a teacher teaching to read. He is not a social worker.
What happened?
But only he can think about. </ P>
Look, if the others come, tell them to start writing. </ P>
And whoever of you is older leads the class.
Consuelo, aku tahu itu bukan dirimu. Kemarilah.
Mrs. Rain, I can't stay. Seriously. I've tried talking...
Consuelo, you won't leave the class and I won't face this now. </ P>
Take this money. Buy something to be worn by Precious. </ P>
Hurry up. And return change. </ P>
16 years. 3 days old baby. </ P>
The baby doesn't bleed. I think it's Precious blood. </ P>
Why didn't you say to me before? </ P>
We will find you the place to stay.
Joann, you're late.
Rhonda, you're not a teacher.
Joann, Mrs. Rain is busy with Precious today...
... so today I'm the teacher.
Alright. Why?
- Where is Precious? - Just sit down. Take out your book. </ P>
Joann, kau mau nyanyikan salah satu lagu rap-mu pada bayi ini?
What's the baby it's here?
- Joann will sing a rap for you. - Let me see.
It's okay. < br /> He's a good person.
Why is the baby covered with a blanket covered in blood?
- Joann, what's funny? - Really. What happened? </ P>
You don't want to know how there's blood on it. </ P>
You know what your problem is, Joann? </ P>
You can't think enough serious things.
- Jermaine, I hope for better. - Okay, Rhonda.
Joann, stop laughing at this baby .
Queens.
I'll call back later.
Just say what's up!
This isn't funny.
But Joann, there's nothing funny about babies with blood on their blankets. </ P>
Aku punya teman Indian yang jadi anggota Dewan.
Let me see what he can do. Wait a minute. </ P>
I found a roster of lessons in our notebook. . We will...
Claireece Jones. </ P>
Hey, Miss Lisa. How are you? </ P>
I don't know. </ P>
I watched the Barfly movie last night. The film was very bad. </ P>
- I'm sorry. - It's on my desk. Can you wait? </ P>
Something is wrong with you, Precious. </ P>
This baby smells. </ P>
We don't have diapers, so sit with the baby
- I'm sitting. - In your chair, please.
The first lesson...
... is the bumba-ros lid -clot (the word invective typical of Jamaicans)...
Mrs. Rain, why do you allow Rhonda to teach in this class?
He doesn't even know how about in English.
Let Rhonda take over.
- Close bumba-ros-clot (mouth). - What does "ros clot" mean?
Brenda, are you there?
The last four digits The Social Security number is...
2-4-2-1.
I just want to know how how to spell "Aquarius."
- Can anyone spell "Aquarius"? - AQUARIUS.
Can you spell "guy?"
Can you spell "bad?"
Let's explore that.
You want to spell "binal," Consuelo, I'll give you the first letter.
You can spell "illegal immigrants?"
Great, thank you.
You can use the word "bad" in the sentence?
Consuelo is a bad woman...
- You're the only one here... - Joann isn't a bad woman.
Perfect. You got a gold star.
But you know he likes it.
He just feels less confident.
- Do you think? - Yes.
- The chicken is good. - Really delicious. Your meal is enough? </ P>
- Anything else? - Yes. </ P>
Maybe later. Not now. </ P>
I don't want you to think I'm greedy.
You're not greedy. If is hungry, take it. </ P>
Sometimes I think I'm eating too much. </ P>
No, you don't. </ P>
- Blu, is that you? - Not always.
What are you doing here?
I live here. Why not tell me?
- Hey, sweetie. - What's this...
It's Katherine, Precious.
- Are you okay? - Glad to finally meet with you.
Ya, Tuhan. Mereka benar-benar lesbian.
- This is Abdul. - Very beautiful. Just like you. </ P>
Precious, can I carry him? </ P>
Do you know how? </ P>
They pretty well allow us to stay in their house until I'm established .
- He's heavy too. Yes, my God! - Do you want to carry him? </ P>
I think this is how people are on TV celebrating Christmas. </ P>
- Don't drop him. - I'm good at handling kids. </ P>
You know yourself. In the past...
When we climbed trees, you fell while climbing half.
They are so kind to me and Abdul.
Be careful. Hold with your two hands.
Abdul.
Happy Christmas, Precious.
Thank you.
Why do those who barely know me...
... behave good to me compared to my parents?
I feel warm.
- What? - I'm just...
I'm just worried about the baby and the cats upstairs
They will be fine.
Grandma is afraid of Mother.
That's why Grandma didn't let me stay with Mother.
Suppose Ronald McDonald run everything...
Mrs. Rain said that she wasn't afraid of anything.
I was very sure she didn't <br
Don't be a little suspicious?
Write a book.
- Who will read it? - Nothing, if You don't write it.
Precious writes every day. You have to try it.
Is that true? What do you write about, Precious?
All things.
My life. Abdul.
How can you not like McDonald's & apos; s?
Katherine drew a comparison...
... so that the meaning is more easy to understand.
Yes.
They discussed the program TV I didn't watch. </ P>
My Uncle Clayton. </ P>
I'm glad Abdul listened to them, because I know they're smart people.
Before he was saved...
... he was a smoker and a heavy drinker.
I didn't understand anything that they say.
You understand?
You watch Oprah?
Actually no. You know the hours how much I go home from work. </ P>
- I watch it. - Mother said, homosexuals are bad people. </ P>
But Mother, not people /> fag who raped me.
And who made you smart?
It's not gay that let me sit in class and never learn anything.
It's not a gay person who sells marijuana to people in Harlem.
- Tell him! - It didn't work.
I want to know how is Oprah responding to that question.
Ms. Rain is the only person who put the chalk in my hand...
... made me alphabet queen.
After living in a rehabilitation center...
I tried my best to remember the sound of letters...
... write it in a diary and read thick and thin books.
Then I found that the Mayor gave me an award for literacy...
... and a check because of my performance.
1, 2, 3.
The party has started.
Come on, Joann!
Let me see your abilities! </ P>
Semuanya datang. Perawat John, Cornrows, semua pegawai di luar sana.
Even Mrs. Katherine came.
Precious.
How are you?
What is that?
What does it look like?
Plastic apples.
There's a little gift for you.
- Is there money in it? - You're so greedy.
Hey, who is that? </ P>
What? </ P>
- What? - Come on. </ P>
Precious, where will you take me?
What should I do, Diva? Wait a minute.
Yes...
My mother called last night.
And we really didn't have a relationship. </ P>
We don't talk, because he really has problems with...
Some people have lights that shines for others.
I think some of those lights are in the tunnel...
... and in that tunnel, maybe the only light you have...
... is in their hearts.
Then I thought about how much your strength is.
Then, long after they get out of that tunnel...
- I'll help you clean up. - Alright. </ P>
... they still shine for others. </ P>
That's how Ms. Rain is for me. </ P>
"Grace for Extraordinary Achievement "
In the book I read, this woman fled to the rehabilitation center.
And when she was there...
... . He asks people there what is the rehabilitation center.
They answer, it's the middle ground between his old life and himself now.
That's good
That means too, I can't stay here forever.
There's still a way to go.
This is the way to get my own apartment.
Abdul is 9 months old and almost walking. He is also smart. </ P>
I have read for him since he was born. </ P>
He has not been able to speak well, but has been able to count. </ P>
Mother, Father...
IS 111, 444 Lenox looks like an old nightmare.
If only I could start on here, but still with Abdul.
I'll also take Mongo. I'll get him back.
Hey, Miss Cassidy.
Precious, there are people on the floor down looking for you.
- Who? - I don't ask who he is.
Do you want me to look after the baby? </ p >
No need, I will go down and meet him.
Your father died.
That's all?
He has the AIDS virus.
That's it, you're dreaming again!
Precious, did you hear what did I say?
Did you hear what I said?
Did you get it?
What did you get?
- AIDS virus. - No.
How do you know? </ p >
We never made love through the anus, so I know.
You should see a doctor.
Do you want to go home?
Hey , Precious! </ P>
Rita, what do I mean when the author...
... describes the condition of the main character as "people who don't give up" ?
I don't know.
As if Rita is trying to do something...
... and she is advancing and advancing, and I tried to stop it...
... and he didn't stop, he kept going.
Unstoppable.
See you briefly night. </ P>
Follow me. </ P>
Precious? </ P>
Sorry? </ P>
The nurse said I was positive had HIV.
I have no material for writing today.
Is your baby okay?
He's okay. I just have to stop breastfeeding. </ P>
Remember, you said...
... if you really haven't told your story. </ P >
- Write it down. - Fuck you!
You don't know anything I've been through.
I never had a boyfriend.
My father said he would marry me.
How will he do that? It violates the law!
Write it.
I'm tired, Ms. Rain.
If it's not for you, then for the people who love you.
Nobody loves me.
People love you, Precious.
Please don't lie to me, Mrs. Rain.
Love doesn't do anything for me...
Love hit me, raped me...
... called me an animal, made me feel worthless.
Makes me sick .
It's not love, Precious.
Your child loves you.
I love you.
Write it.
What are you thinking about? </ P>
You never told me about your relationship with your mother. </ P>
I didn't tell you about it, huh? </ P>
Really, I here to help you.
You can talk to me. It's a safe environment.
You're right.
We can talk About Your father instead.
We can talk about my father, my mother...
... my aunt, brother or my girl, but that won't help you.
You don't even like me.
We don't want to be in this room...
... for a year to discuss your life, right?
What does it mean that we like each other because we discuss my life?
I can't talk about it to you.
I can only talk about it for me, and I like you. Really. </ P>
Are you Italian, or...
What is your race actually? </ P>
Are you a Negro or a Spanish?
What do you think my race is?
I want to know. What do you think, my race?
My throat is dry.
Your throat is dry ?
It's really hot here.
It's rather hot here.
I'll get soda. What do you want?
Soda sounds good.
Alright.
Thank you. </ p >
It doesn't matter.
So, I have to discuss about your mother...
... and I don't know how your feelings about things this...
... but he said that he wants to see you...
... and he wants to be reunited with you and his grandson
He wants to come and meet with you here.
What did you say to him?
I said, I have to talking about this first to you.
It's up to you.
I don't know. I have never thought about this before. </ P>
Miss Weiss wrote in the archive that I had HIV. </ P>
He wrote, I will die from it.
I don't worry about dying.
I have to worry about how I will raise these children.
I only wrote about...
I want to open this clinic...
... for the mothers and their children.
Clinics if they are sick or something like that.
I selali want do it, give back to the community.
Because I know my mother will be proud of to me if I do it...
... and also my children.
I want my children to be proud of to their mother.
- That's what I always want to do, so... - Good. That's really good. </ P>
I really don't want to read everything, I just want to discuss the point. </ P>
Alright, the advisors at Advancement House... < /p>
... they asked about my mother and father.
But that really wasn't about them.
They're trying to find me a job.
- They want me to be a housekeeper. - How do you know?
Because I stole my file /> and read it.
They only want me to work.
I want to work, but not because there is no allowance.
Is that makes sense...
... for someone like Precious who stops going to school before getting a GED...
... and works for people white somewhere?
He'll never be anything if is stuck in a place like that.
Rhonda was a maid household.
He used to have to explore Brighton Beach.
Yes, Rhonda works there throughout the day and night.
He'll be called, & apos; ?
His income is 6.37 dollars per hour, but only for 8 hours.
The total is 50.96 dollars.
The pay is not comparable...
... mainly because he really was there for 24 hours.
So, 50.96 dollars divided by 24...
... equals 2.12 dollars per hour. Not a lot of money.
Said, the old woman will ring the bell, the real bell...
... when you want something from her in the middle of the night.
- You don't want to do the job. - Rhonda, is that true? </ P>
Housemaid works for 6 days a week. </ P>
I want to meet Abdul on Sundays. Plus, I have to leave the class.
That's not an option. You won't leave the class.
Plus, I'll start following (insert ) meeting of survivors.
Incest (sexual relations with family members).
- That's what I said? - No, you said insect (insect).
What's the difference?
The only one is your family harassing you...
... while the other one is like cockroaches or fleas.
- Are you a scientist? - I'm just talking.
It's okay. Thank you. </ P>
It's hard to tell strangers about my father's actions. </ P>
Sometimes it feels good. </ P>
Last week, Ms. Rain asked me to write about what I want. </ P>
I wrote that I was very thin...
... with glowing skin and long hair.
Loretha Holloway?
Go backwards.
He read it and said that I am beautiful.
But there are no kids behind there that can be invited to play.
Then stay still and sit there.
I will talk to women before my allowances are reduced.
But whatever...
Right now... And somehow why, but...
I think he's right.
This.
Claireece Jones?
I think she's right.
Alright, Mrs. Johnston, let's discuss the torture. </ P>
There are no drugs on in my house. </ P>
I'm not lying. There are no drugs in my house. </ P>
Precious knows I will hit him...
... if he brings drugs to my house.
You know what I mean.
I refer to physical and sexual actions...
... involving Precious. </ p >
Why don't you all offend it?
Yes, we've already mentioned it.
What do you want to know?
According to the Precious archive...
... he now has 2 children because of your girlfriend...
... the late Carl Kenwood Jones, who is also his father.
- Yes. - The information is accurate? </ P>
Yes, Mrs. Weiss. </ P>
I need to know the reason you came here. You contacted this office... < /p>
...dan said that you want to be met with Precious and your grandson.
Now, I really need to know what happened in that house
Miss Weiss, I understand we need to discuss this...
... but I just told you.
You said I was called come here and want to meet with...
... Precious and my grandson.
I really want to meet them. Because they are mine. </ p >
It's time for Precious to have everything...
... and I already said it was to him.
Carl and I, we love Precious. And you need to know that.
We love Precious and we have dreams.
Precious was born in when together the son of Mrs. West was killed.
In the summer. He was born during the summer. </ P>
Remember? Do you remember that? </ P>
I was born in November. </ P>
November.
Yes, that's right.
My son's Scorpio star.
You know...
Scorpio people, they can cheats.
And, I didn't say they were liars. I don't mean that. </ P>
But you just have to keep an eye on them. </ P>
Can we talk about acts of physical torture...
... and the actual sexual abuse...
... that happened in your household?
The first time it started...
... where did it happen and how did you respond to it?
Precious was still small at the time.
Try to remember how much was at that time.
He is 3 years old.
And I gave him a bottle of milk...
... while Carl gave me my nipples...
... because my milk does not dry on my breasts...
... not because of Precious, but because of Carl...
Because Carl sucked it...
... and that's the milk that's left on my breasts.
And I guess it's good for health.
I did what my mother ordered...
... that I have to take care of my child, then that's what I did.
And you're sitting there and trying to judge me...
I don't judge you, but you ask me for money...
... and you asked me to meet your grandson.
But, Miss Weiss, I don't like you look at me like that.
You for this woman to look at me as if I'm a monster.
Don't talk like that in my office, understand?
I don't want Precious suckling at behind him because it's disgusting.
And everything he's... That's disgusting, Miss Weiss.
I have a girlfriend, and I have a child...
... and I have to take care of both of them.
Do I want Carl to touch my child?
Because I laid my child down.
I laid it beside me, on this pillow...
... and the pillows are colored pink...
... and there are small white letters on it...
... and there is my name written, because he is valuable.
And I laid my son on the pillow...
... and Carl lay next to him...
... then we started doing it...
... and he was fondling...
... and touch my child.
And I ask him...
I said, "Carl, what are you doing ?"
Dan he told me...
He told me to shut up, and it was for his good.
- What did you do then? - I kept silent.
And I don't want you to sit on there and judge me, Miss Weiss.
You shut up and let it harass your daughter?
I'm not want him to harass my daughter.
- I don't want him to hurt him. - But you let him hurt him.
Aku mau dia bercinta denganku.
That is my boyfriend. My boyfriend.
That is my boyfriend and he wants my daughter.
And that's why I hated him.
Because my girlfriend should love me...
... who should love with me...
... she
He made him go away. Go far away.
Then, whose fault is that?
This bitch is wrong because let my boyfriend cheat on him...
... and he said nothing.
He didn't scream. He didn't do anything. </ p >
So, after all my treatment has he told you...
... who else will love me?
Since you pass and you know everything...
... who will love me, who will make me feel good?
Who will touch me and make me comfortable late at night?
And he already made he went far away, so...
When you sit there and write a note in your book...
... about who I am, why did I do it all.
Because I didn't have anyone.
People from...
Each One Teach One...
They contacted me... < /p>
..and they told me that my son wrote a poem.
Instead, I brought...
Wait a minute.
Forgive my mother.
Forgive me. And, Miss Weiss, I don't want to check. </ P>
I don't need money anymore. Please. I'm really sorry. </ P>
I underwent an ABE test again. </ P>
And what happened? </ P>
My score 7.8. </ P>
Last time , my value is 2.8.
According to the results of the tests...
The ability to read me is at grade level 7 and 8.
Next year, high school After that, university
I like you too.
But you can't handle me.
You can't handle this.
I've never known myself Mother to this day. </ P>
Even after everything Mother has done. </ P>
Maybe I'm too stupid, or maybe I just don't want to.
You won't see me again.
Dude!
I don't want him to hurt my child.
Please, I don't want him to hurt my child.
Miss Weiss, I don't want he hurt my child.
I told him, I said...
"Carl, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
Can you bring it back?
You can do that because that's your job.
