Angela: Good, ‘cause I’m gonna wax that ass girl
CD: Bring it on
Jinny: You think we’re buying this mental incumbency crap?
Magda: I dunno, the judge might.
Jinny: Kara may be a nasty, self-centered, spoiled piece of work, but she’s not insane!
Magda: Thanks
Jinny: Ms. Taylor remind you of anyone?
Magda: Like mother like daughter.
Jinny: All of a sudden, my family looks like the Cleavers.
Magda: You believe that woman has actually been a mother?
Jinny: Oh, she’s never been a mother, thats the problem.
Magda: See, I believe her though. I think Taylor’s gonna put Kara away for good.
Jinny: Yeah, I know, but why solve a problem when you can ablitorate it?
Magda: See, that’s what pisses me off. Two people getting blessed with a child and they don’t wanna take responsibility for her. If I thought Kara was gonna get help in an institution, I’d be all for it. It’s gonna be the same thing, taking pills to cover up her problems, who knows how long they’re gonna keep her in there.
Jinny: She wouldn’t get no real help in jail either.
Magda: Nope.
Kara: What are you doing?
Jinny: You really are a road hazard, you just jay-walked.
Kara: You know what, I’m not talking to you guys.
Magda: Ok, well, if you change your mind, just give us a call.
Jinny: Aww, see now you’re just making life easier, you litter, you jay-walk
Magda: *laughing at Jinny*
Kara: What are you doing?
Jinny: You’re coming with us.
Magda: K?
Jinny: Get in, watch your head.
Magda: Feet too.
Kara: Why did you bring me here?
Magda: Pay your respects.
Jinny: The man standing by the door is John, Mary Baker’s husband, married 20 years next month. The young boy is Tim, the taller one is Will, those are her sons. Mary was a school teacher, the 4th grade class helped raise money for the flowers. They’re really gonna miss her.
Kara: I wanna go home.
Jinny: Ya, that’s just what Mary Baker wanted to do. Just waiting at the bust stop...Go home to John and her two sons. That didn’t happed, did it?
Kara: I did this? I took their mother away?
Jinny: The question is now, what should we do about it.
Magda: You’re father thinks an institution is the answer Kara, this way you can’t hurt anybody and you can never embarrass him again.
Kara: It’ll only be for a little while...Well, he promised.
Jinny: You trust him?
Magda: Trust yourself Kara, stand up to him and take responsibility for what you did.
Mr. Taylor: You force a confession out of a teenager without the presence of a parent or counsel?
Magda: Kara had a counsel, Anita Ornelas, PD
Mr. Taylor: Public Defender?
Magda: That’s right.
Mr. Taylor: Where the hell do you think-
Jinny: You’ve been fired.
Mr. Taylor: What? How dare you interfere? I’m her father, I know what’s best for my daughter.
Magda: Kara asked Social Services to reevaluate her phsycological condition.
Mr. Taylor: She didn’t ask, you pushed her!
Jinny: No, we offered to make a few phone calls.
Mr. Taylor: Where is my daughter?
Magda: She doesn’t wanna see you.
Mr. Taylor: You bring her to me now, or I’ll have both your badges! Who the hell to you think you are?!
Jinny: We’re cops Mr. Taylor, sword to protect and serve. Right now, we’re protecting Kara Taylor.
Magda: Oh god, my Dad was great though.
Jinny: *does that ‘yeah right’ cough*
Magda: He was good for a big ole’ hug and a smack on the butt too. And I respected him for that.
Jinny: My dad didn’t know what to do with a girl. I could sneak anything past him as long as it fit into a brown paper bag and I called it ‘girl stuff’.
Magda: *laughs kinda loud*
Jinny: He never once asked or looked.
Magda: You ever dance with your Dad?
Jinny: *sadly* No, I don’t think so.
Magda: Aw man, my Dad used to love to dance, *laughs* I remember...Oooh...he’d try to drag my mother to the clubs.
Jinny: *snickers and mumbles* Oh no.
Magda: She was always too tired from work, so sometimes we’d put on records in the living room and we’d be dancing.
Jinny: Yeah.
Magda: I was his dancing partner..It was fun...And we had a good time.
Jinny: I bet you’re good, aren’t you?
Magda: What, Dancing?
Jinny: Uh huh.
Magda: Oh yeah.
Jinny: Um hum
Magda: A little bit of Santa Maringe, I got some moves.
Jinny: *laughing*
Magda: I can definitely teach you come moves.
Jinny: Alright.
Magda: I’ll have you shaking in no time.
Jinny: I don’t think so.
Magda: Uh huh!
