Rena is asking her mother to go to the annual picnic with her beloved missing low-fife father John Grubb, who is in prison sentenced to two life sentences.

She was 15 when she had you.

Right.

Barbie, I need you for this once

just to be my friend.

Daddy's going to be so proud

of his little slut.

I've got a heart murmur,

you know!

(laughs derisively)

What?

I do.

What are you looking at?

B*tch.

The news of an unexpected baby

can have a powerful effect

on people.

I couldn't wait to share

the good news with its daddy.

Hey, this is Kenton.

Leave me a message,

maybe I'll call you back.

If you're going to

have a baby,

you need to start wearing shoes

around the house,

brushing your teeth.

I'm not going to be shacked up

with some Jerry Springer

contestant...

"Babies Having Babies .

Let's ask the audience what they think."

Are you going to keep it (the baby)?

Yeah, I want to.

I mean, if mama lets me, that is.

I'd like to.

Was uncle Arno's any fun?

Must be nice to travel...

who's the baby's daddy?

It doesn't matter.

It might matter to mama.

She'll want to make sure

it's not like

that one-legged Chinaman

who mops up the...

don't say "Chinaman,"

all right? Say "China-person."

The dad's something

special, Jay.

Therefore, I figure this baby

has at least half a chance

of being something special,

too, you know?

She's not going to hit you.

Mama's a screamer, not a fighter.

Hey, baby.

So, guess what.

What?

I gotta pee, honey.

I gotta pee, hold on.

Wait, wait. I'm going to go in

and soak up the first wave.

If Barbie comes out,

just hit her or something.

Okay?

Mom?

Run!

Where the hell is she?

I don't know.

Rena!

Rena, you better run!

You and I are going to

have a long talk about this

tomorrow morning, missy.

And you are damn lucky

I'm too tired

to fight with you anymore tonight.

Can we still go and see daddy?

Goddamn it, Rena!

You think we're going to

tell your daddy about this?

Look, I just thought that...

you thought?

If you'd been thinking, Rena,

you wouldn't be in this mess!

Don't hurt yourself thinking, sweetie!

Yeah, well, he might be happy, you know?

Having a grandbaby and all.

We won't know till we ask.

I didn't use a stomach pump

because your daughter is pregnant.

We just had to force fluids

in order to flush out those vitamins.

Chewy-chews.

Yeah.

Well, lucky for you,

children's vitamins are non-toxic.

Do you have any idea

why she took that many?

I think she thought they were

good for the baby.

That's smart.

Well, they are,

aren't they?

Yes, in moderation.

I'm going to talk to her

about cutting back on those.

All right, you do that.

Okay.

48, 49, 50.

Yeah! Look at that. Ooh!

Hey, your mama coming this year?

No, she aint never coming.

She in San Antonio

with my sister and her kids.

You can eat with us, then.
