Let us take care of you.

I, Frank and Donny, Donny is not?

We take care of you.

So do not worry, everything will be OK.

- I want to talk to them.

- Sure you do.

Why do not you guard your phone number

with you, and you may want to reconnect.

Ok? Frank should be here

new clothes for you.

Let us pray.

Lord, bless the food we have received

We are very grateful.

Bless this house and all residents and looks

by the mother of Donny, hoped to return soon.

Bless the parents of Leslie

and helps them through this difficult period.

So they can return to it.

Amen.

Good appetite.

You walk in school?

What does it say here?

- Action Jack. You do not you read?

- No.

I actually said

you could take that cookie?

That's what I said? No, I

not say that you could eat.

What do you say?

It seems you do not pretend to listen.

I'll tell you a little secret?

Your father and your mother does not want you anymore.

They have not phoned or written, so...

it seems they are very happy without you.

Sometimes things are very weird...

and no use trying to understand,

because you'll never understand.

Why are they doing this to you.

Maybe Frank was right.

Whatever the reason,

even if your father and mother.

Life is difficult.

And if she is going badly for them,

then suddenly you are away, nobody knows why

but your life can be a little more easy here.

Your father, he was always

only a few days with you, right?

Your mother told you it was because of work.

But he did not even have time to buy you a

gift for your birthday, remember?

Remember?

I bought them for him for you.

My father was like yours.

I remember that he was

a long time traveling...

and then came home and got together all the

night, playing and reading to me.

And I remember I thought this

was the best night of my life.

And then he said: "I have to go buy a pack

cigarettes, but I'll be right back, do not worry. "

But he never returned.

And I never went back to see him.

So I know how you feel, dear.

I know I could never be your father,

I look to him or take his place...

but I could be like an uncle... Uncle Alex.

Rest a little.

- Are you crying?

- No.

Good. You can not cry, no one likes

girls crying, girls seem ugly.

Then you'll be a beautiful girl, huh.

- The Alex's favorite girl.

- And you are my favorite boy.

Start the car.

Leslie, this is Orlando.

He is a good friend of ours.

He will take care of you for a while, ok.

You must do everything he tells you.

- Ok

- She realized.

Do not worry.

She looks good.

- Ok

- Go up to bed.

The only thing I want

is to have fun, Leslie.

It can also be fun for you.

Ever... Shoe Shine

your father to earn a dollar?
