Have you ever did on the something like this?

Mowing the lawn, wash the car?

I think that's what little boys do,

mow the lawn and wash and car.

You understand, if you you do something,

receive a reward.

You work as you usually do...

As in school...

rather than just good grades,

earned money.

If you can earn enough money,

you will not need to sleep on the street.

You do not want that to happen.

On the streets where the demons live.

On the street you can lose yourself forever.

Hey baby, what's going on?

Are you afraid?

What we do is good.

It's beautiful.

It is because of me?

It is the color of my skin?

This is not anything that you may be afraid

I feel exactly the same as you.

Want to play?

There is nothing wrong with it.

You know that?

I am sure that this is still unknown

for you, you know, except you.

There is nothing wrong with playing.

Everyone does.

Teachers do, doctors do,

police do.

Everyone does.

Even his father does.

Your father has had touched you,

if you had stayed at home.

- Very soon, he would have you touched.

- No!

- What?

- No!

I want you!

Come here!

Shut up!

Shut up!

I was talking to you!

I tried to be nice, b*tch!

What the hell are you doing with it?

Honey, it's okay.

It's okay, honey.

It's okay.

- What the hell happened?

- Get in the car. Go! Go!

Christ, Alex. F***!

I told you that you would always protect?

Do not let this happen again,

because I will not allow.

Hey! This is murder, man!

This is murder, f*** it!

- We are all involved.

- It's all right, Frank. No one saw us!

The only thing we have to do

is to keep us together. And to rely on each other.

Leslie, now we are all part of something terrible.

But if we help each other and

to rely on each other, then everything is fine.

You know you?

Because I will not say anything to anyone

and you do not, do you?

No.

Do not worry.

Why they left me here?

I hate them!

I hate them!

Lesley...

Leslie!

It's okay, honey.

Forget the past, dear

You have to leave it behind.

It's like a caterpillar, it has to shake his

skin off to become a beautiful butterfly.

And you think that the caterpillar does not suffer?

Of course, dear. But this is the only way

it becomes a beautiful butterfly.

And this is where you you will become.

Something very, very beautiful.

Leslie, I think you're beautiful.

Leslie, I'll never hurt you.

I'll never hurt you, baby.

It's okay, honey.

It's okay now.

It's okay.

You got me.

You got me, baby. It's okay.

I'm so proud of you.

"Something is up the hill,

said the mother wolf to Mowgli. "

Get ready.

Behind the bushes was a small wolf

sitting in the lap of his father, ready to go.
