Clint: Spare me that, Tina. Take it to someone else who doesn't know you enough to believe you! Tina: Why are you being unnecessarily cruel to me? You don't want this child, fine! But accusing me of trying to trap you with the pregnancy is cruel. I have never shown up at your door for a day to ask you to take responsibility, since you decided not to. Why are you being unnecessarily cruel to me and the child? You are hurting me, Clint, and you know it! Haven't you done enough? Clint: (Voice notes) You don't need to show up at my door before I know... *** Clint, a young entrepreneur, found himself in a tumultuous relationship with Tina, a disabled beauty. They are left to get past each other's flaws and accept each other for who they are.
