SEX/NUDITY 3 - A man and a woman burst through the door of a house while kissing and fall back onto a bed (the woman lies on top of the man); the woman rolls away and says that she can't, but then climbs back on top of him and they kiss (sex is implied).
► A woman wakes up in bed with a man and she is covered with a sheet (we see her bare shoulders); she is startled when a young girl sees her with the sheet as she comes out of the bathroom. Women wear low-cut tops and dresses that reveal cleavage in several scenes.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - An older boy in a school bus trips a younger boy carrying a project on a board; the boy falls and the board breaks dropping pieces on the floor and other children laugh until a young girl yells at the bully and hits him in the face with a book (we see the bully later with a very bloody nose). A young girl pleads with a man not to leave her, and she cries and hits him as he pulls away and leaves. A man picks a girl up and she hits him several times in the face and head while crying, and then hugs him and they both cry. A man becomes angry and throws something off a boat.

A woman tells a man that if anyone comes to take a young girl away, "I'll smother you in your sleep." A woman says, "I'd kill a priest for a Benadryl." A young girl says of her cat, "Fred's not a killer, he's a lover." We read a newspaper headline that a woman committed suicide. A man talks about finding his sister dead on the bathroom floor after she committed suicide and blaming himself for not listening to her. We hear that a man was arrested for assault. A man says that his father died when he was 8 years old and that his mother turned her back on his sister when she got pregnant. A man tells his niece's teachers to "dumb her down." A young girl asks a man if there is a God and about Jesus and he talks to her about faith. A man tells a young girl, "You wished death upon me if I didn't buy you a piano." A young girl is sad and cries about her biological father not being interested in seeing her. We hear that a young woman attempted suicide and then when she tried again, she was successful.
► A man picks a girl up off the floor and carries her outside; we see them later walking and the girl hangs on the man and climbs on him like a jungle gym.
► Three cats are shown in cages as they await euthanasia in a veterinary office; a man takes them all home. We see that a cat has one eye and it is referred to in several scenes (one eyelid is permanently closed). A woman complains about the size of a cockroach she saw in her son's home.
