Hi.
- Hello! - Hi.
Seventy two.
(man): Technically, you didn't do anything wrong, Ruby.
But you still disobeyed some very important instructions.
- I was just cleaning. - Did they tell you
that you weren't to go into the school side of the building?
Or the nursery?
I was cleaning.
You were to clean
the chapel and the church offices.
Nowhere else, correct?
- Am I in trouble? - No, Ruby.
You just don't have a job there anymore.
Does this mean I don't get my vouchers anymore?
No, no, no. This doesn't change any of that.
You'll still get your assistance.
Look, we'll set up some more interviews
in the next couple weeks. Until then,
there's a resume workshop and a class on...
Oh, let me see,
what's next week?
Making a home budget.
You need to attend those classes in the other building.

What are his odds?
(speaking Spanish)
Did you win?
(woman speaking indistinctly on television)
Why didn't you just do what you were supposed to do?
- I was trying to do a good job. - Bullshit.
I thought if I did extra good and cleaned more than they said,
- that maybe I could get a raise and get us some more money. - Bullshit.
Mr. Rio says there's probably another something
just around the corner.
Your kid's down there.
No.
You lying to me?
What? There's something just around the corner.

Dear God, please let this scratch card

Mike can get it.
Hey, do you want some candy?
This is tough.
I just don't like to say things like this, but, um...
OK, here it is.
Basically,
corporate has been determined to turn us into... carry-out
and delivery exclusively. You know,
it's a bottom line thing. Almighty dollar, you know.
They just don't see, in their model,
restaurants like ours anymore. You know, they think
that families don't go out to dinner
as much as they used to and... so they want to...
take our operation and...
I don't even know what.
I mean... They're closing our restaurant.
And they're gonna open a much smaller space
down the block on Vermont.
And it's gonna be exclusively carry-out and delivery.
Carry-out's where they say the bulk of our business is,
anyway, but I don't... You know, I don't see it.
(distorted): I'm gonna be managing there,
but they're only gonna give me payroll
for three kitchen staff.
It's company policy. There's nothing I can do.
(normally): But I'm gonna put my feelers out there, you know.
Any managers looking for a good cook, great cook.
I went ahead

- We just gotta be smart, all right? - OK.
You know, the cops catch us,
they'd take her away and they'd split us up, forever.
But they can't do that, can they?
I won't let them.

They sent him up to Lansing
five, five and a half years ago.
- Same shit? - Yeah.
They got him on aggravated.
Couldn't get him on enticement, 'cause she was 15.
If she was 14...
they'd have thrown away the key, but...
- Should've anyway. - So that's where he is.
He was in, like, 18 months, then he died.
Emphysema or some shit.
Good riddance.
Look, we can play catch-up here all day long, but...
I'm telling you, we gotta figure out what the fuck you and Ruby are gonna do.
I got a plan. I want what's owed to us.
I can sell it and get us out of Dodge.
- They'll never see us again. - How's that?
Them old Winchesters and that old Sharp he had
- were worth about 20 grand. - Nah, he sold them.
Well,
there's about ten grand in old bonds
he stole when he worked for Northeastern,
and they're down in the basement in that crawl space.
No. He traded them.
He had all kinds of legal fees and bullshit.
And I hurt my back, retired from driving a truck,
- and he got picked up same year. - How much is the house?
It's a piece of shit. It's falling down.
60 grand?
I mean, you can have it.
We'll sell it, but that takes time, man.
You haven't got time. You can't keep that baby, man.
If you do that, it's kidnapping
- and I think that's federal. - We can take care of it.
"It"?
You fucking kidding me? You can't take care of a baby.
Her name is Irene.
No, her name's Olga or some shit.
I saw it on the news.
They got security cam pictures of you and Ruby
in some fucking store looking like fucking crack heads.
With your dad's record,
them people are...
- nervous. - They think
- me and... - No, they just...
- It's fucked up! - Shhh.
Cool it.
Now you listen to me.
You bring that baby back, you give it to the cops.
They see that it's fine and you'll be fine.
I can't let them lock her up, Uncle Doug.
Ruby's not...
She wouldn't...
- She's not like other people. - I know, Gen.
But there's no way you're gonna get out of this
without doing some time.
(baby crying)
Be quiet. (humming softly)
(baby crying) (humming softly)
Sh. Sh, come on. Sh, baby.
The longer you let this go, the worse it's gonna be.
Shit, Uncle Doug.
I'm sorry, Gen.
There's nothing right that's ever been done for you two.
Nobody knew what was going on up in there.
I mean, my sister would tell me, "He's a sick son of a bitch,"
but she was your mom, man, and then she just...
- left you two with him. - She didn't leave us.
He killed her, and then he dumped her
- out by the old house in DeSoto. - We don't know that.
Doesn't matter anyway.
You listen to me, man.
You let me help you. You go in,
you do a little pinch. When you get out,
I'll try to help you get a commercial license.
- I still know some guys. - But what about Ruby?
We'll take care of her.
I promise you that.
But it might be good for you guys to be apart.
I mean, you haven't been apart since you were babies.
It ain't right, Gen.
You know that.
It's not natural.
Those cops figure out the way you guys been living,
there's no court gonna have mercy on your soul.
I ain't got one, Uncle Doug.
He beat it out of me by the time I was 11,
Ruby's about eight.
Stole us about five or six baby turkeys.
I was in charge of keeping them in this pen.
Made it out of wire behind that old house in DeSoto.
Those were me and Ruby's turkeys.
One morning, he was...
...doing it on top of Ruby.
And then, he made me do it to her too.
Then I go down and check on them turkeys and...
some raccoons had got their little hands
through the wires and had been pulling on them all night.
They was half alive,
just laying there, like half a wing or no legs,
just... bleeding.
He come down, whooped my ass.
Then he give me an old shovel,
and he told me put them out.
And...
I said I didn't want to do it,
but he said he was gonna put Ruby back in the dryer
if I didn't, so I did it.
And some of those little turkeys just wouldn't go, Uncle Doug.
I had to whack them
like five or six times.
I'm sorry, Gen.
But you gotta trust me.
It's the only way you're gonna get through this.
I'll do it,
but you gotta let me handle Ruby.
I got her hiding.
I'll go get Ruby and the baby, and I'll bring them
to the house, and then you tell the cops
we'll meet them there.
They gotta be real gentle with Ruby, OK?
And you gotta tell them that I did it.
Ruby didn't have nothing to do with taking that baby.
Shit.
There's cops out front.
Go out the back. Black Chevy pickup.
Keys are on the floor.
(door opens)
(baby crying) - Please don't cry.
Come on. It's OK, I'm...
Shhh. (baby crying)
Shhh. Shhh.

Be quiet! Be quiet.

But now I know that I was.
I was supposed to be born

And now we have Irene, too.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I made it hard for us.
I know we're gonna get a nice house

and all the dogs and all the baby animals.
I love you, Buddy.
