A scene from Pay It Forward 2000
Jerry

You ever been on the street?

Arlene

My mom took us pretty close.

Jerry

Well, you can't know. Not until you look at a dumpster. But when you climb into that thing for the first time and you pull those newspapers over you, that's when you know you've messed your life up. Somebody comes along like your son, and gives me a leg up, I'll take it. Even from a kid, I'll take it.
