life is hard and tough, but so what?

Spent an afternoon watching
for this 17-year-old girl for
life is hard and painful
to think about gossip girl crazy inside those who belong to the joy of young people
all this does not belong to her. Maybe it will never belong to her again.
I shed tears when I saw her HIV test positive. I
just want to ask one sentence
WHY ME just like her ?
But who can answer it, my dear.
This is not a silly reunion movie on the
contrary, this is a courageous movie.
It tells us the true cruelty and struggle of life.

Precious quotes

  • Mary: We would, we would, uh, start doin' it, and he reached over... and he touched my baby. And I asked him, and I said "Carl, what are you doing"? And he told me to shut, to shut my fat ass up, and it was good for her.

    Mrs. Weiss: And what did you do then?

    Mary: I shut my fat ass up. And I don't want you to sit there and judge me, Miss Weiss.

    Mrs. Weiss: [Angrily] You shut up and you let him abuse your daughter.

    Mary: I didi not want him to abuse my daughter. I did not want him to hurt her.

    Mrs. Weiss: [Overlapping with Mary's voice] But you ALLOWED him to hurt her!

    Mary: I did not want him to do nothin' to her. I wanted him to make love to me. That was my man. That was my fuckin' man. That was my man, and he wanted my daughter. And that's why I hated her. Because my man who was supposed to be loving me, who was supposed to be making love to me was fucking my baby. And she made him leave. She made him go away.

    Mrs. Weiss: So whose fault was that?

    Mary: It's this bitch's fault, because she let my man have her. And she didn't say nothin', she didn't scream, she didn't do nothin'. So, those things that she told you I did to her? Who... who... who else was going to love me? Hmmm? Since you got your degree, and you know every fuckin' thing, who was gonna love me? Who... who... was gonna make me feel good? Who was gonna touch me, and make me feel good late at night? And she made him go away. So... when you sit there, and you writin' them fuckin' notes on your pad about who you think I am, and why I did it and all of that... because I didn't have a man.

  • Clareece 'Precious' Jones: [of Ms. Rain and her friend] They talk like TV channels I don't watch... I'm glad Abdul here to listen in, though, 'cause I know they're smart.
