She's 500 pounds, Jim.

1036

00:
58:22,439 -- 00:58:24,442

She got a mustache

thicker than her father.

1037

00:
58:24,442 -- 00:58:27,361

No. That's your

mother, Mickey.

1038

00:
58:27,361 -- 00:58:29,823

She does not exist.

Don't fool yourself.

1039

00:
58:29,823 -- 00:58:31,950

Be careful.

I'm about to whack.

1040

00:
58:35,371 -- 00:58:37,165

Oh, sh*t, man.

1041

00:
58:41,294 -- 00:58:43,631

My brother's going to take care

of us and this car.

1042

00:
58:46,718 -- 00:58:49,137

Pedro,

wake the f*** up!

1043

00:
58:49,930 -- 00:58:51,056

Pedro, come on, man!

1044

00:
58:51,056 -- 00:58:53,518

You're going to get us killed,

what are you doing?

1045

00:
58:53,518 -- 00:58:54,519

I got it, man.

1046

00:
58:55,144 -- 00:58:56,479

You want me to drive?

1047

00:
58:56,479 -- 00:58:59,024

Mickey, you better drive the car.

I'm serious, man.

1048

00:
58:59,024 -- 00:59:02,278

Just don't blow my high. If there's a

scratch in the car, my brother'll kill me.

1049

00:
59:33,190 -- 00:59:34,316

Yo, get out of the booth!

1050

00:
59:37,487 -- 00:59:38,863

Get out the booth, huh?

1051

00:
59:39,822 -- 00:59:40,991

Get out.

1052

00:
59:41,909 -- 00:59:43,243

F***ing...

1053

00:
59:44,037 -- 00:59:44,787

What's up? What's up?

1054

00:
59:44,787 -- 00:59:46,080

Come on, I'm in a hurry.

Where's the car?

1055

00:
59:46,080 -- 00:59:48,417

It's good to see you, too.

It's over here.

1056

00:
59:48,417 -- 00:59:51,295

It's nice.

It's smokin'.

1057

00:
59:51,295 -- 00:59:52,505

You tell me that?

1058

00:
59:52,505 -- 00:59:53,714

It's everything

you wanted.

1059

00:
59:53,714 -- 00:59:55,884

Get your hands off.

You guys look like sh*t.

1060

00:
59:55,884 -- 00:59:58,596

Oh, my God.

1061

00:
59:59,430 -- 01:00:00,722

They're taking the car.

1062

01:
00:00,722 -- 01:00:02,517

Show me the sign, man!

1063

01:
00:02,517 -- 01:00:04,060

Show me

the freaking sign!

1064

01:
00:04,060 -- 01:00:05,854

It's right there.

You see?

1065

01:
00:05,854 -- 01:00:07,481

It says "tow-away." Huh?

1066

01:
00:08,440 -- 01:00:09,817

You scumbags even read?

1067

01:
00:09,817 -- 01:00:11,485

I should kick

all your punk asses!

1068

01:
00:11,485 -- 01:00:12,821

Goddamn it!

1069

01:
00:12,821 -- 01:00:13,905

I can get you

another car tonight.

1070

01:
00:13,905 -- 01:00:16,282

Yeah? John Halligan is

waiting for this car.

1071

01:
00:16,282 -- 01:00:17,785

I got him out

of bed with his wife.

1072

01:
00:17,785 -- 01:00:19,328

You know how this

makes me f***ing look?

1073

01:
00:19,328 -- 01:00:20,205

Kenny, get off.

1074

01:
00:24,001 -- 01:00:25,586

You're too stupid

to be my brother!

1075

01:
00:26,461 -- 01:00:27,338

You're too stupid!

1076

01:
00:28,339 -- 01:00:29,674

You want a piece

of me, Carroll?

1077

01:
00:29,674 -- 01:00:31,635

Back off! Back off!

1078

01:
00:33,011 -- 01:00:34,680

- Kenny, no more!

- Mr. Tough Guy.

1079

01:
00:35,389 -- 01:00:37,808

- Kenny, no more!

- Huh? Tough guy?

1080

01:
00:47,278 -- 01:00:48,404

Give me a sip

of your soda.

1081

01:
00:58,208 -- 01:01:00,169

You wipe off the bottle

before you take a sip?

1082

01:
01:00,461 -- 01:01:03,255

You don't even think twice

about sharing works with Mickey.

1083

01:
01:04,340 -- 01:01:06,009

You think you'll catch something

from the bottle

1084

01:
01:06,009 -- 01:01:07,553

you're not catch

from a needle?

1085

01:
01:07,803 -- 01:01:10,138

You mistake me for somebody

who gives a sh*t.

1086

01:
01:11,224 -- 01:01:13,851

Headquarters...

home on and off

1087

01:
01:13,851 -- 01:01:15,854

to every down-and-out

junkie and wino

1088

01:
01:15,854 -- 01:01:18,190

from 14th Street

to the Bowery.

1089

01:
01:19,066 -- 01:01:20,985

It's like a f***ing

all-star team.

1090

01:
01:20,985 -- 01:01:22,487

Jimmy, the other day,

1091

01:
01:22,487 -- 01:01:24,239

my mother's been

ragging on me,

1092

01:
01:24,239 -- 01:01:26,242

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

1093

01:
01:26,242 -- 01:01:28,577

"You've tried every other way.

Go to church.

1094

01:
01:28,577 -- 01:01:30,330

Put yourself

in Christ's hands."

1095

01:
01:30,330 -- 01:01:33,417

So I do it, man.

I figure, give it a shot.

1096

01:
01:33,417 -- 01:01:34,459

I dig Jesus.

1097

01:
01:34,459 -- 01:01:38,214

So, I go, man. High mass...

a choir and everything.

1098

01:
01:38,214 -- 01:01:40,967

The first thing I see

on the right, the side altar,

1099

01:
01:40,967 -- 01:01:44,388

are those little candles

in the red glass

1100

01:
01:44,388 -- 01:01:46,808

that we used when

it was windy in the park

1101

01:
01:46,808 -- 01:01:47,851

to cook up.

1102

01:
01:48,476 -- 01:01:51,522

And then, this altar boy,

he's coming down the aisle

1103

01:
01:51,522 -- 01:01:53,607

with this 6-foot candle.

1104

01:
01:53,607 -- 01:01:57,320

I envision this

huge spoon above it, man,

1105

01:
01:57,320 -- 01:02:00,407

with, like, shopping bags

full of dope inside of it.

1106

01:
02:00,407 -- 01:02:02,660

And then the kicker

comes, man.

1107

01:
02:02,660 -- 01:02:05,330

The priest, he starts doing

the thing with the incense.

1108

01:
02:05,330 -- 01:02:07,248

You know,

starts wafting out.

1109

01:
02:07,248 -- 01:02:08,918

I'm in the back.

It finally hits me.

1110

01:
02:08,918 -- 01:02:11,587

"Where do I know

this smell from, man?

1111

01:
02:11,587 -- 01:02:13,756

My room, man."

1112

01:
02:13,756 -- 01:02:16,135

It's the smell exactly

1113

01:
02:16,135 -- 01:02:19,430

of really primo dope

cooking up.

1114

01:
02:19,430 -- 01:02:20,890

Yeah?

1115

01:
02:20,890 -- 01:02:23,935

Exactly the same.

1116

01:
02:23,935 -- 01:02:25,729

So what

happened next?

1117

01:
02:25,729 -- 01:02:27,606

At that point, I split.

1118

01:
02:27,606 -- 01:02:28,899

I went home,

1119

01:
02:30,277 -- 01:02:32,821

I went inside my closet,

1120

01:
02:32,821 -- 01:02:35,908

I got my stash out

of the inside pocket

1121

01:
02:35,908 -- 01:02:38,870

of my sharkskin

easter suit,

1122

01:
02:39,579 -- 01:02:42,833

and I got stoned.

1123

01:
02:42,833 -- 01:02:43,917

Ba bing...

1124

01:
02:43,917 -- 01:02:46,295

ba bang.

1125

01:
02:48,548 -- 01:02:50,425

I love a ritual.

1126

01:
02:53,179 -- 01:02:55,347

Oh, Mary, if you can hear me...

1127

01:
02:57,433 -- 01:03:02,272

I need you to fill

Jim's heart with love

1128

01:
03:02,272 -- 01:03:05,735

because he really

needs it now.

1129

01:
03:10,449 -- 01:03:12,034

Oh, God...

1130

01:
03:13,745 -- 01:03:16,539

please watch over my son.

1131

01:
03:18,250 -- 01:03:20,627

He needs you now.

1132

01:
03:24,591 -- 01:03:26,301

Just take care of him, okay?

1133

01:
03:26,301 -- 01:03:28,012

I'll be okay.

1134

01:
03:38,315 -- 01:03:40,610

I love you, Jim.

1135

01:
03:40,610 -- 01:03:43,072

I love you.

1136

01:
03:44,740 -- 01:03:48,161

Hey, you holding?

You straight, man?

1137

01:
03:48,161 -- 01:03:49,913

Get out of here.

1138

01:
03:49,913 -- 01:03:50,455
