Bastard Out of Carolina Page #6

---

I want you to stop all this nonsense

before you make me really mad.

I'd rather die than go back

to living with you.

I bet you would.

I want you to leave.

I'm going to tell her.

I'm gonna tell her everything.

You don't want to help

your daddy at all, do you?

Do you?

You don't want to do anything for me!

You're the reason.

Anney loves me.

I know it.

But you make her ashamed,

ashamed of you.

And ashamed of loving me!

And it ain't right!

Anney is going to come back to me.

I know it.

She just needs a little time,

I understand that with everything

that's happened.

But if she wasn't coming back to me,

I would kill you. You know that.

I would break your neck.

Damn you!

Let me go!

Come here!

Let me go!

Stop!

Where are you going?

Where do you think you're going?

You're a big girl?

You guess you're so grown up,

you tell me what to do?

Come here.

You're going to say no to me?

I'll show you how grown you are.

You're so grown up?

You're going to say no to me?

Going to show me

how big and bad you are?

You son of a-b*tch!

You monster!

Come on, baby.

You bastard!

Oh, no!

Oh no, baby. Please!

- Baby! I just wanted to talk to her!

- Stay away!

I don't know what happened!

I just wanted to talk to her.

Please, Anney. I didn't mean it.

I didn't mean it. Please don't go.

Get out!

I didn't mean it!

Don't go! I can't live without you!

Kill me!

Glen! Stop it!

Please, baby, kill me!

Oh god, help.

Help me!

Come on, Bone.

Tell me who it was.

Just tell me, sweetheart.

No one's ever going to hurt you

again. Just tell me.

I want my Mama.

Your Mama ain't here, Bone.

I think you ought to let her be.

You want to go home?

Let's go.

Bone,

I know you don't understand this.

I barely understand, myself.

No woman should have to choose

between a baby and her lover.

Between her child and her husband.

We all do terrible things to the ones

we love sometimes

and it eats us up,

but we do them, just the same.

You want to know about your Mom,

I know.

I can't explain that to you.

I can't.

I don't know where she's gone.

None of us do,

but I know she loves you.

Don't doubt that.

And she'll never forgive herself.

I hate her.

You'll forgive her.

I hate her.

Hey, Anney.

Hey, Earle.

I'm OK, Uncle Earle.

Bone, I never wanted you to get hurt.

I never thought it would go

the way it did.

I never thought

Glen would hurt you like that.

And I just loved him.

You know that?

I just loved him so much.

I couldn't see him that way.

I couldn't believe.

I couldn't imagine.

You don't know how much I love you,

honey.

How much I've always loved you.

Mama.

I love you, Bone.

You're my best girl.

I love you.

Who had Mama been?

What had she wanted to be or do

before I was born?

Once I was born, her hopes turned

and I climbed up her life

like a flower reaching for the sun.

Her life had folded into mine.

Who would I be when I was 15, 20, 30?

Would I be as strong as she had been?

As hungry for love, as desperate,

determined and ashamed?

I wouldn't know,

but I was already

who I was going to be,

someone like her,

like my Mama, a Boatwright,

a bastard.

A bastard out of Carolina.

I love you, mama.
