[about girlie magazine]
Women look at these pictures?
Melina Hines
Yeah. They look at them and feel like crap.
Jasira Maroun
Do women ever look at them and feel good?
Melina Hines
Well, maybe. Is that how you feel? I mean, they're sexy pictures. How anyone feels when they look at them doesn't really matter. It's private. But how a kid your age got a magazine like this, that isn't private. Who gave you this?
Jasira Maroun

Melina Hines
Jasira, did an adult give you this?
