I made sure all of you ate every day.
And when it came time for school, I found the money, - now, didn't I? - Don't you dare.
Don't.
Didn't I?! Yeah, Mama.
You did.
You did whatever you had to do.
All right.
That's it.

What does that even mean? Huh? What does that mean? You really don't recognize the dress, Mama? Huh? You don't know what this quarter is about? Yeah, I know what that's about.
It's about you being crazy as hell.
You're the crazy one.
You don't even remember the dress! You sold me to him.
That dress may be faded, Mama, but what he did to me it ain't.
What are you talking about? He gave you money, Mama.
I saw him! You shut your mouth.
He paid you, and he gave me a quarter.
And you let him take me.

You're gonna deny it? Look at her.
Yeah, look at her.
Look at all of us.
You did that.
You did that.
And you can't even admit it.
There ain't nothing to admit.
Oh, just take responsibility for once.
You know you did it.
I did not.
All of you are crazy.
Why can't you just say it? Maybe we can move on.
Maybe she can get some help.
I did the best I could.
Ugh! So, selling your daughters to Eli was the best you could? That didn't happen.
Stop it.
Okay.
I can't take this anymore.
Look at how this has affected us.
Just admit it! I didn't do anything.
Bonnie.
Bonnie, you're my only good daughter, and you know.
I'm the worst one.
Shelby was right.
I'm slowly killing you.
Huh? Every time you call me when you can't breathe I don't want to come help you.
I want you to die.
I want to walk in here one day and you're dead in this bed, alone.
You gonna cry now? Well, good 'Cause we've been crying for years.
You are so pathetic.
You sold us to Eli not for food on our table, not for a roof over our head, as if that's commendable.
You sold us so you could eat and drink and get high.
I hate you.
I will never forgive you.
So what? You got pregnant at 12.
I was 11.
Yeah.
My Mama sold me off.
I didn't complain.
I did what I had to do to make sure my brothers and sisters could eat.
God, it is always about somebody else, isn't it? When are you ever gonna take responsibility? Just say it! Saying it's all my fault? Yes! It is your fault.
Take some responsibility.
Oh, yeah.
Take some responsibility.
You mean like you did with the president? Don't you dare compare me having an affair to you selling your daughters.
You disgust me.
[Spits.]
Why you two still standing here? You better keep this.
It's all you have left of me.
[Crying.]
Here are all your notes.
Yes.

We get one shot to make this rumor cease about the affair in the oval.
She'll be fine.
Does she know the detailing points? Why don't you check with her? - I already did.
- And? She brushes me off.
She says she'll handle it and to relax.

I've spoken to her.
Will you ask her one more time? Fine.
When I see her, I will.
Thank you.

W-what happens when he comes back? Not one of y'all trifling asses better be here.
So, let me understand this.
There is no affair? No.
And we'd like to put that to rest.
Well, let's do that here and now.
So, why the implication? I don't know.
My wife this great First Lady of the United States was in the lobby when we were in the office, talking about my calendar.
So, Mrs.
Christian, you were there? Yes.
And you witnessed this young lady in the oval.
The door was open.
With all due respect, sir, I'm asking the First Lady.
So, you were there? Yes.
And the door was open? Yes.
So, the lies must make you furious.
Oh, well, they're not lies.
What's not a lie? Are are you saying there was an affair? Yes, of course.
Honey.
But the president just said that you were there and the door was open.
Yes, it was when we burst into it.
So, the door was closed.
No, the door was open.
You can call my secretary.
Well, if your wife was there, I'd really like to hear it from her.
Katelynn, uh, would you please tell the lady - what really happened? - The door was closed.
He was in there with that trash, Annie Belle Hayes.
They were on top of the desk when I walked in.
Katelynn wouldn't you like to hear someone from Washington that speaks the truth, Frank and candidly? Katelynn.
I think America should know that this man is a liar.
He can't keep his In his pants.
I've been dealing with it for 25 years.
It's enough.
Katelynn.
Yes, dear.
You can stop squeezing my hand.
I'm done with this interview.
You can finish it now.
I'm sorry.
We have been trying to hide the fact that my wife has a drinking problem.
Oh, don't you dare.
Don't you dare.
I will blow this place apart.
Shall we count the whores? You need to cut to commercial right now.

I don't want you telling any lies like your sisters did.
You shut up.
I'm going to the sheriff right now.
It's her word against mine, darling.
- You are going to prison for this.
- I'm what? I am what? A free man.
She was with my grandson, that's what she was.
She was, and she liked it.
She wanted it.
She's 15.
Well, yeah.
I'm into cougars these days.
I don't want you talking.
[Engine starts.]
Close your eyes, baby.
What? Close your eyes.
[Laughs.]
[Engine revs.]
Ugh! [Thudding.]
- Where's Bonnie? - She's not here.
- Where is she? - She went to go find Rebel.
- Where's Rebel? - She was with Eli.
- Again? - Yes.
- Okay, where are they now? - I don't know.
She was at the park or something.
I don't know.
- Where in the park? - I don't know.
[Telephone rings.]
- How am I supposed to know? - Bonnie? Larry: No.
You need to come outside.
I can't deal with this right now.
Ma'am, I'm giving you the benefit of not knocking the door down.
Come outside, out of the trailer park, and walk to your left.
- I'm not - you didn't let me finish.
Or I'll come through the door and help you come outside.
Would you like the kid to see that? - Stay here, Mac.
- Where are you going? - Just stay here.
- Annie, where you going? Just please stay here.
Hey.
Get back inside.
Ma'am.
What, Larry? What is this? What? What is it? Will you leave me alone? I can't do that, sweetheart.
