Ms. Rain:
[to Precious] Come with me. [Precious doesn't listen] Precious? Excuse me?

Precious:
Nurse said I'm HIV positive. I ain't got nothing to write today.

Female Classmate:
[concerned] Is your baby okay?

Precious:
He all right. I just gotta stop breastfeeding him.

Ms. Rain:
[to Precious] I remember you once told me-- You never really got to tell your story. Write.

Precious:
[to Ms. Rain] F*** you! You don't know nothing what I been through! [tears start falling] I ain't never had no boyfriend. My daddy said he gonna marry me. I ain't gonna do, that would f***in' be illegal! [she starts crying]

Ms. Rain:
Write.

Precious:
[voice breaking] I'm tired, Ms. Rain.

Ms. Rain:
If not for yourself, then for the people who love you.

Precious:
[voice breaking] Nobody loves me.

Ms. Rain:
People do love you, Precious.

Precious:
[crying] Please don't lie to me, Ms. Rain. Love ain't done nothing for me, love beat me... raped me... called me an animal... make me so worthless and... make me sick.

Ms. Rain:
[about to cry] That wasn't love, Precious. [tear falls] Your baby loves you. [whispers] I love you. [voice breaking] Write.
