Gimme Shelter Page #3

Synopsis: 16 year old street-wise Apple (Vanessa Hudgens) has never had an easy life. Her mother, June Bailey (Rosario Dawson), is an addict and prostitute, is verbally and physically abusive, and is grooming her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Apple knows the streets, alleys and motels like the back of her hand but wants more from her life. She possesses a tenacious, tough, indomitable spirit, and will not surrender to fate. Apple runs away from her mother and tracks down her father whom she has never known, as he was only 19 when he got Apple's mother pregnant. Apple begs her now Wall Street Broker father, Tom Fitzpatrick (Brendan Fraser), to take her in. In the few days under her father's care, she learns she's become pregnant by a kid from the streets she met on the train, who now wants nothing to do with her. She is forced to leave her father's home because of her choice to give birth to the baby she is carrying. Apple runs away again, and is eventually taken under the wing of Father M

what I mean? A liar!

Hey! Cool it! Maybe you should

give us a minute... now!

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, look at me.

Look at me! Look at me!

Apple! What are...

Hey. Hey.

Hey, Apple, Apple?

Well, it's about time.

How are you feeling today?

Hungry.

Shouldn't you be at

work or something?

I took the morning off.

I had a few things to do with

the construction and all,

and I wanted to check in with you.

Yeah, well, I'm fine,

so I guess you can go.

You know...

today is an important

day for my firm,

and especially for me.

One of our biggest clients

asked to meet with me

personally to sign a deal.

Do you know why?

Mutual respect, trust,

and confidence.

This is what I've

earned from my peers.

It's taken me years to build this.

These are the same words that

I want to speak about with you.

Mutual respect,

such as I respect you,

you respect me.

That means when I tell you

something, you stop ignoring me.

Trust, such as when this

conversation is over,

I'm going to leave here,

and I'm going to trust

that you are not going to get

into a street brawl with my wife.

And confidence.

These are the positive

results of our relationship

that can begin to happen once the

first two things start to happen.

Now, Joanna and I had a long

talk last night, and...

it's clear that you are not ready

to assume the responsibility

of motherhood.

Think about it.

You have no means of support

you have nowhere to live,

and you have no one willing

to help you except me.

Apple?

It's time that you

turn the page on this.

Put it all behind you so

that you can move forward.

Just turn the page,

and before you know it,

you'll have forgotten

that it ever happened.

Mmm.

Just... Just turn the page.

Yes.

And forget about it.

That's right.

Like you did with me.

Thank you, Cece.

Ahem.

Apple?

Look, I know that you must hate me,

and I just wanted to say I'm sorry

about the misunderstandings.

Hmm?

No one's perfect, right?

How did your talk go

with your father?

Did he tell you?

Tell me what?

I made an appointment for you

tomorrow morning at a clinic.

Wait, what?

You're not going to be able to take

care of this child by yourself.

We're not going to deal with this,

and if you don't cooperate,

we're going to have no choice

but to ask you to leave.

No.

No, look, I don't want to do that.

It's not about what

you want, honey,

unless you want to end up

just like your mother.

You don't have to worry about anything.

I will be with you to hold your hand.

Hi, Tom.

Not yet.

Okay.

I'm sorry. No cell phones, please.

Okay. Okay, I have to hang up.

Honey, I think I'm going to

wait in the waiting room.

Can you hurry up, please?
