An American Crime Page #3

If I had the money,

I'd give it to you.

I saw your new boarders.

Don't tell me, you're

doing that for charity.

I had to take them in,

because of you.

I ain't paying for

another man's kids.

You ain't paying for your...

I'm sorry, Gertie.

I'm sorry.

So, how was the

first day at school?

I actually made

a couple of friends.

See, we ain't such bad people,

here on the Southside.

Can you pick up the kids

and bring'm home?

There's something I have

to take care of.

Yeah, is everything alright?

Just tell mama, I picked up

an extra shift at work.

Sure.

You know, Paula is looking more

and more like you everyday.

Lucky girl.

Should watch her, though.

She's been hanging out

with Bradley again.

I hate to think what'll happen.

His wife's got a bad temper.

You think, that I can

get that money?

There's a 20 in the top drawer.

Where do you live Mrs. Doyle?

You can almost reach out of

your dining room window...

...and end at Baniszewski's

kitchen, can't you?

It's not that close.

Because of the experience that

you saw Mrs. Baniszewski having there...

...did you develop any bias,

or prejudice against her?

No, I felt sorry for the lady.

I felt she was a hard working

woman with all them kids.

Did you entertain any guilt feelings,

or animosity towards her?

-No, I can't judge her.

-I beg your pardon?

I can't judge her.

- Would you like to say prayer, Sylvia?

- Sure.

Bless this food we eat,

and release...

...us from our sins, amen.

Amen!

Somebody get out there

and feed that dog!

Yeah, mama.

Sorry, I'm late.

Where have you been?

I picked up the shift from Ellen.

I told you, I didn't want you to see

that boy anymore and I mean it.

-I didn't see him.

-Don't lie to me, Paula.

What? Was he here?

Did Andy say something?

- That's none of your business.

- Yeah, you just don't want me...

...making the same mistakes,

that you've made.

I said, feed that dog!

Johnny, feed the dog!

What's wrong, Paula?

I've got problems, Sylvia...

...big problems.

With Bradley?

I went to the doctor, today.

I'm pregnant.

You know the guy is married..

...I know, he wouldn't want a baby.

I don't know a

damn thing to do.

Well, you, you gotta tell him.

I can't.

Well, I think you gotta.

You gotta promise me, that you

won't say anything to anybody.

Not a word, until I figure out

what I'm gonna do, okay?

Yeah, I promise.

It's gonna be okay.

Mama?

Mama!

I want you all, upstairs!

Come on!

Except for you two!

I want you down in the basement!

Your daddys' check

didn't arrive today.

Oh, it's probably just late.

I know my mama,

she wouldn't let him forget.

You know what I think?

I just took care of you two,
