"I've been struggling and the kids don't have what they need it's been hard."
"Stacey you know I don't have a problem with sending you money."
"No you don't understand I'm not getting any child support; I'm not with Bryana's father anymore, and I don't have help."
"Stacey I don't think you heard me"( Bernie wipes sweat off of his forehead and flushes the toilet)
"I heard you Bernie, but I need more than money...I...I need you to help me."
"Help you ?"(Bernie Glares)
"I need you to take the kids."
"Stacey has it ever dawned on you that I don't have kids"
"It's never to late Bernie; they want to know their uncle."
"What Imma do with some kids?"
"You can do more than I can do for them.", Stacey says with an sincere tone.
" Are you listening to yourself Stacey?"
