An American Crime Page #2

saw my girls here.

You got no family here in Indy?

Well, not that

I could leave them with.

'Cause of them or you?

A little of both.

Hi, Mrs. Baniszewski,

is Shirley and Marie here?

Upstairs.

Shut the door!

Looks like, you've got kids running

in and outta here, all day long.

Why don't you leave Sylvia

and Jenny, here with me?

No, I couldn't do that.

I got six kids, two more

wont make a difference.

I guess that's true.

you won't have to worry.

You'd be helping me out too.

I could talk to

my wife about it.

Something to consider.

So, you'd never met Gertrude

Baniszewski before that day?

No, Sir.

But you were willing to leave your

children with a complete stranger?

Well, like I said, uh,

we got to talking and...

...she openly admitted, that she

would take care of the children...

...and treat them like

they were her own.

Okay! Here is 20 now...

...and uh, you'll have the next

payment in a week, Thursday.

-I'll need that money.

-You'll have it.

Johnny, bring the box upstairs!

I appreciate that, sweetheart.

I sure don't want you to go.

The circuit will be dying down

at the end of September.

That's over 2 months.

And I promise, I will be back

to get you girls then.

Okay, kids.

Goodbye, Jenny. Cookie!

- You be good!

- Okay.

All right!

-Bye.

-Bye.

Bye, girls.

You girls make sure

you get everything you need.

Thank you.

Well, come on!

We'll help you unpack.

Wait, I'll help you.

Nothing to be nervous about.

Everyone's really nice here.

I promise.

Hey, Paula, get your cherry

popped, this summer?

You sure didn't, Teddy,

not with a face like that.

Hey, come on Paula,

you know we're just playing.

So, why don't you

play with yourselves?

Coy is okay, but Teddy is

a goddamn delinquent.

Paula!

Those guys, they're always

messing with somebody.

I'm sure, she will be okay.

- You live with Paula and them?

- Yeah, for a bid, I guess.

Yeah, I saw you the other day.

I live right around the corner,

I'm Ricky Hobbs.

Sylvia.

Hey, there's a football game

this weekend...

...if you'd be interested in that at all.

Oh, I don't really much like football.

Sylvia, come on!

Good bye!

It's me!

Hope you brought my money.

Nice to see you too.

Came by to see my babies.

Hi!

Hey!

Leave him!

Well, I got my call-up papers.

I have to go to boot-camp soon.

Put him back in.

It took me all day to quiet him.

- Not in front of the baby!

- Why? He don't care.

I do!

Listen, I'll be getting

a paycheck.

So, you'll be getting

payments regularly.

Who's gonna take care of you?

Well, actually I was wondering

if I could borrow a few Dollars...

...so I could go and see my brother

in Lebanon, before I leave.
