1568

01:
35:17,540 -- 01:35:19,166

Did you hear about Mickey,

that scumbag?

1569

01:
35:19,166 -- 01:35:21,086

He went and threw

some chump off a roof.

1570

01:
35:22,254 -- 01:35:24,382

He's getting

5 to 15 years, man.

1571

01:
35:24,382 -- 01:35:26,550

They tried him

like an adult.

1572

01:
35:27,219 -- 01:35:29,304

Sh*t.

1573

01:
35:30,180 -- 01:35:32,349

I got a present

for you, Jim.

1574

01:
35:34,435 -- 01:35:36,604

A bag of the finest dope

1575

01:
35:36,604 -- 01:35:37,940

in Manhattan.

1576

01:
35:39,107 -- 01:35:40,233

You know, me and you?

1577

01:
35:40,942 -- 01:35:42,278

Like old times?

1578

01:
35:45,907 -- 01:35:47,492

I can't.

1579

01:
35:49,662 -- 01:35:51,247

Come on.

It would be dynamite.

1580

01:
35:53,249 -- 01:35:54,751

I got this thing to do.

1581

01:
35:55,919 -- 01:35:58,088

Why don't you come

check it out?

1582

01:
35:59,006 -- 01:36:01,134

No. I'm going to go,

then, you know?

1583

01:
36:02,176 -- 01:36:03,720

You know how it is.

1584

01:
36:05,889 -- 01:36:07,808

Take care of yourself,

little man.

1585

01:
36:25,580 -- 01:36:27,123

Know this.

1586

01:
36:28,166 -- 01:36:30,335

There's different types

of users of junk.

1587

01:
36:31,211 -- 01:36:32,963

You got your rich

dilettante square-ass

1588

01:
36:32,963 -- 01:36:34,465

who dabbles now and then

1589

01:
36:35,342 -- 01:36:37,719

and always has enough money

to run off to the Riviera

1590

01:
36:37,719 -- 01:36:40,347

if he feels he's f***ing around

to the danger point.

1591

01:
36:41,974 -- 01:36:44,644

Street junkies

hate these pricks,

1592

01:
36:45,269 -- 01:36:48,273

but they're always suckers,

and their money makes them tolerable.

1593

01:
36:49,817 -- 01:36:51,694

Then you got

your upper-middle-class

1594

01:
36:51,694 -- 01:36:53,320

Westchester preppies...

1595

01:
36:54,114 -- 01:36:55,865

same as the others,

basically.

1596

01:
36:56,658 -- 01:36:59,578

What they're good for is opening

their mommy and daddy's eyes

1597

01:
36:59,578 -- 01:37:01,039

to this social virus

1598

01:
37:01,039 -- 01:37:02,790

and putting pressure

on the government

1599

01:
37:02,790 -- 01:37:04,668

to do something about it.

1600

01:
37:07,087 -- 01:37:08,756

Then there's us street kids.

1601

01:
37:09,420 -- 01:37:12,510

Start f***ing around

very young,

1602

01:
37:14,000 -- 01:37:15,900

13 or so...

1603

01:
37:17,930 -- 01:37:20,270

We think we all

got it under control

1604

01:
37:20,270 -- 01:37:23,200

and won't get strung out.

1605

01:
37:24,230 -- 01:37:26,200

This rarely works.

1606

01:
37:27,320 -- 01:37:29,320

I'm living proof.

1607

01:
37:30,900 -- 01:37:34,370

But in the end,

you just got to see the junk

1608

01:
37:34,370 -- 01:37:36,080

as another 9-to-5 gig.

1609

01:
37:38,500 -- 01:37:42,350

The hours are just a bit more

inclined to shadows.
