- And a lot more women

are gonna be executed now.

- Why's that?

Women's lobby. They all want equal

treatment in the eyes of the law.

- Hey, Frances, what's up?

- Where you goin', girl?

What's goin' on?

- Hey, Frances!

- I'll tell you something now.

Don't be like that, Frances.

- Frances!

- Hey, Cindy, you checkin' out

of death row?

- You don't like it here?

- Hey. Hey!

...somebody. He don't need

to know my personal life.

I have my own life, and just because I have

a kid don't mean my life needs to stop...

and I need to stop

what I need to do.

She ain't the only one raising him.

The father raises him too.

Oh, yeah. On the weekends he...

And that's my business.

That's my time now.

How 'bout self-respect?

Every dollar you have, these sweet

and innocent-looking girls...

shamelessly tell us

they are money hungry and...

I'm Rick Hayes. I'm with the Clemency

Board. Would you like to have a seat?

I'm gonna be working on your report,

the update, so we need to...

- No.

- No?

No, we don't need

to do anything.

- Well, what do you mean?

- I'm not playin' your game.

Um, l...

Well, I don't understand.

It's one big, sick f***in' joke.

- How's that?

- This governor doesn't give clemency.

Well, uh... What is it

that you're saying here?

I'm saying you go ahead

and you make your damn report...

then you give it to the governor and you

let him give it serious consideration...

then you can all go ahead and

kill me with a clear conscience.

Miss Liggett, maybe you can explain

to me... what is it that you have to lose?

I mean, there is really no good

reason for you not to cooperate.

Just give us something we can work with

here. There's gotta be a...

I'm very, very proud of my 17-year-old

'cause she works and goes to school...

What'd you say your name was?

Rick?

- Right.

- What's that short for?

- Eric? Richard?

- Richard, yeah.

- Mm-hmm. So, what's wrong

with Richard?

- What's wrong with Rick?

Every Rick I ever knew was a slick,

two-faced motherf***er.

- I know quite a few.

- Well, you just met one who isn't.

That's the first thing every slick,

two-faced motherf***er tells you.

All right, Miss Liggett.

Frances.

Wanna know what the second

thing they say is?

What do you got to lose?

- You should really think about this.

- I have.

For about 12 years.

You take care of yourself, Rick.

Gotta bust out some cash, anything.

I don't care what it is.

- What kind of presents do you get?

- Gold.

I got a bedroom set,

a TV, stereo...

- You got a bedroom set?

- Mm-hmm.

- Did your mom ask you where

it came from?

- No.

Well, we don't need

her cooperation anyway.
