(scott) He cares more about paperwork

than people and he wants to fire me.

(Man) Tell him to shove it and get out.

And do what, go back to advertising? Come on.

Listen, you could still write your own ticket.

You could re-enter without touching down.

Everything you had,

you'd get back in six months.

I don't know.

I've been gone forfouryears.

I've been soberforfouryears.

I mean, that's good, isn't it? But this, come on.

It's not me.

What "this"? Look, what do you get

out of that job anyway?

I feel like I'm helping people who need it.

That's bullshit. I don't feel I can help anybody.

I feel so f***ing paralysed.

- Listen. You gotta help yourself.

- I know.

You better start making money.

You'll wind up like one of your cases.

- I know that.

- Come on.

You got only one thing to live for.

That is the programme.

When you break the rules, you hurt everybody.

Burn him!

(Whooping and yelling)

(Chanting)

No, don't! Don't!

(Crowd) Burn him! Burn him!

Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!

- Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!

- (Cries of pain)

(screaming)

(Chanting and screaming continue)

I'll see you next week, OK? Be good.

OK.

You want to tell me something?

If you were in a club or something

and wanted to quit but were afraid to...

What kind of club?

I don't know, just some guys.

You know, the only way

to quit something is to just quit.

Yeah, but what if they'd hurt you?

If anyone hurts you

or even threatens to hurt you,

you let me know and I'll take care of it.

You understand me?

You just talk to me. You let me know.

You promise?

say yes.

say yes. say yes.

OK. Yes, all right?

How bad are you?

- I'm really bad, all right?

- I said how bad are you?

- I'm really bad, man.

- Come on, show me.

- You want to?

- That's right.

- Your mother's overthere.

- What?

That's enough. You can let me down now. Hello!

(scott) You think you're too old

to be on my shoulder.

Mrs saunders, if you want your daughter

and the baby to live with you,

get on a detox programme.

I will escort you there.

And you will cash your vouchers with me

and we will buy whateverthe baby needs.

- You hear me?

- (Phone)

- Barnes.

- scott, listen.

Tommy hasn't been home

for a couple of nights and I'm getting worried.

Did you call Pedro?

He spends a lot of time with Pedro.

- Just call Pedro's.

- OK. What do I tell Mom?

Well, tell your mother not to worry.

Hold on a second. Wait a minute.

I'm not through with you. sit down.

I'll call you later, Rachel. Don't worry about it.

Bye-bye.

If I find that one penny from these funds

is used for crack and not the baby,

you will be disqualified from receiving funds
