09:30Technically.

10:57I joined the high school team, started going to meets,

10:59and that's where I met the first love of my life.

11:01Mommy.

11:01The second love of my life.

11:02The reascent?

11:03One of the loves of my life.

11:04B-Patties?

11:05No.

11:05It was Maxine.

11:07The mother to my daughter.

11:08But you have a kid?

11:09Mm-hmm.

11:10First time you hear about this.

11:14Welcome to Officer Track and Field Regionals.

11:34We noticed you have a good farm.

11:38Oh!

11:40Oh!

11:41Oh!

11:42Oh, my face!

11:43Did someone hit me my own face?

11:46Oh, shit!

11:48You know, you're pretty fast.

11:49The track is not the only thing I passed out.

11:52Wow.

11:53Mm-hmm.

11:54You are bad at this.

11:55It's not the only thing I'm bad at, you know?

11:59I love this origin story.

12:01Me, too.

12:02But Mommy didn't.

12:05Too much!

12:06Not to do you see it.

12:08Maxine and I, we had a really good thing.

12:11Yeah, we're on and off for years.

12:13But Mommy's spirit never really took to Maxine.

12:15See, Mommy must have felt like Maxine was, you know, taking me away from her.

12:30Jezebel!

12:33Corrupting my one and uncle, innocent son!

12:38Mommy, beg you ten minutes now.

12:42Why?

12:43If you ever make me lose my religion, then they'll go be in your skin!

12:47Mommy was never a fan of all of the girl-girl them in a Ben life.

12:51That's not true.

12:52She was fine if I didn't care about them.

12:53But Ben actually cared about Maxine.

12:55Mm-hmm.

12:55So she was a threat.

12:57That is true.

12:59Especially when things got real.

13:01Mm-hmm.

13:05I'm pregnant.

13:07Lord have mercy!

13:10Ask her who the father is.

13:12Ben is the father.

13:13My baby Ben is a virgin.

13:16Well, and this baby in my uterus is Jesus.

13:19And Ben is Joseph.

13:21Blastomy.

13:22Excuse me.

13:24Get out, Jezebel.

13:26Get out!

13:28You gonna let her talk to me like that?

13:29You gonna let her talk to me like that?

13:31Bitch-ass mama's boy.

13:36Never mind you here, Ben.

13:38I've been picking a fit room.

13:39Even sneaking out of the hospital.

13:41Forget little evidence.

13:42When you took blood from my baby?

13:44Jesus Christ.

13:46No.

13:47Sitting little more definitive.

13:56My granny neck back.

13:57I'm chancing upon the crooked toe.

14:01A crooked toe?

14:02Mm-hmm.

14:03Explain yourselves.

14:04Well, you know, it's a family trait.

14:06It goes back generations.

14:07A great granny had it.

14:09I mean, should we just show her?

14:09Mm-hmm.

14:10You could show her.

14:10All right.

14:11Look upon this.

14:11Hold on.

14:13All right, look.

14:17Rawr.

14:18It's like Jurassic Park.

14:19Look.

14:21Okay.

14:22Time to leave for the airport.

14:26What happened to you?

14:28My wife will go to Tokyo, mommy.

14:30Why you don't want to go?

14:31Because my wife will see my baby.

14:33No.

14:33No, sir.

14:36That is not your baby.

14:38No, sir.

14:39You need to focus on getting your gold medal.

14:43Just like that walking mattress out.

14:46They focus upon the other man.

14:50You hear me?

14:52All right.

14:55Horigato, Mr. Roboto.

14:58Let's go.

15:02You know, I listened to my mom and I didn't see my daughter until she was about four years old.

15:07You know, because I was busy racing.

15:08And that's okay.

15:10Because kids don't remember anything before the age of four anyway.

15:13Who would tell you, sir?

15:14Still stupid.

15:17Well, looking back, probably could have done things a little differently.

15:21But it was really important for me to make my mom happy.

15:26And nothing earned more than one of that busted in soul.

15:34Hi.

15:35Hey, mommy.

15:36Oh, you're the champ.

15:39Champ.

15:40Oh.

15:43So, mommy.

15:45I really need my medal back real quick.

15:47Why you want your medal back?

15:52Uh...

16:08And they are...

16:12Hmm.

16:15They test positive steroids.

16:20And the people that were...

16:22Them.

16:23Them.

16:24Them.

16:25Them.

16:27Them.

16:37Them.

16:54Them.

16:57That was, that was hard, it was a really hard time for me.

17:08Life was so tough after I tested positive for the games.

17:12Everybody hated me.

17:13Canada, they're all coming after me, my money, my reputation, everything.

17:19Mommy?

17:19Yeah?

17:21We're going to finish this house, yeah?

17:22Nobody finished it.

17:24It's too big.

17:28All these stupid people, them, and so-called friends, they would turn them back for me,

17:33mommy.

17:34And Canada track.

17:36Them of my money, they don't want to give it to me.

17:38How do you money was in a trust?

17:41How come everything that happened to you is somebody else part of bed?

17:45Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, Charlie thinks a idiot thinks a guard.

17:49Them say no way, I'm sure that this is positive.

17:52You are responsible for your own actions.

18:00All right, mommy.

18:02Excuse me.

18:04Are you all visiting people that live in the neighborhood, or...

18:11Well, I can stand here all day.

18:14You know, mommy, she never really cared about the house, or any of those things.

18:18Materia.

18:19But I could see in her eyes, that she was looking at me different.

18:25Yeah.

18:26So I spent a lot of time trying to prove it wasn't my fault.

18:35And when she got cancer, I realized I was running out of time, so I had to pray on it.

18:44Dear Father God.

18:45Yes, Lord.

18:46Please cure my mother of the cancer in her body.

18:49Hear our Christ.

18:50Hallelujah.

18:51Yes, Jesus.

18:52And if that's too much trouble, then please prove to her an effemmy fault may get a catch in a

19:001988, Father God.
