731

00:
38:57,758 -- 00:38:59,468

but I gave in.

732

00:
39:05,392 -- 00:39:07,811

It was like a long heat wave

through my body.

733

00:
39:08,979 -- 00:39:14,611

Any ache or pain or sadness or guilty

feeling was completely flushed out.

734

00:
39:35,803 -- 00:39:40,058

Look, Ma, I'm not in the mood for your

dime-store psychology, all right?

735

00:
39:40,058 -- 00:39:41,894

Could you just please

leave me alone?

736

00:
39:41,894 -- 00:39:43,186

I got a little sick,

all right?

737

00:
39:43,186 -- 00:39:45,356

We're not going to

live like this, Jim.

738

00:
39:45,356 -- 00:39:48,819

We're not going to live like this.

I'm warning you! I'm telling you.

739

00:
39:48,819 -- 00:39:49,986

Oh, God, Mom.

740

00:
39:49,986 -- 00:39:51,656

You're always warning me,

aren't you?

741

00:
39:51,656 -- 00:39:54,825

Blah, blah, blah.

You're always in my f***ing ear.

742

00:
39:54,825 -- 00:39:58,204

Blah, blah, blah.

You don't know anything.

743

00:
39:58,204 -- 00:39:59,665

What are you

talking about?

744

00:
39:59,665 -- 00:40:01,834

Go clean toilets or whatever

the hell it is you do.

745

00:
40:01,834 -- 00:40:03,711

When you're done,

clean this one.

746

00:
40:04,295 -- 00:40:05,713

Don't talk like that!

747

00:
40:05,713 -- 00:40:07,716

What's the matter with you?

748

00:
40:11,554 -- 00:40:13,306

Gee whiz, Ma,

you know...

749

00:
40:13,306 -- 00:40:16,309

we got to have these

heart-to-heart talks more often.

750

00:
40:16,309 -- 00:40:18,229

They're really

good for us.

751

00:
40:19,355 -- 00:40:20,440

I don't know you.

752

00:
40:22,900 -- 00:40:25,237

I don't believe

this is you, Jim.

753

00:
40:26,363 -- 00:40:28,616

Please, Jim.

I don't know who you are.

754

00:
40:28,616 -- 00:40:31,787

Yeah, I know. I was such

a good little boy, right...

755

00:
40:31,787 -- 00:40:33,830

with such potential,

wasn't that it?

756

00:
40:33,830 -- 00:40:35,958

Is that what

you're going to say?

757

00:
40:42,758 -- 00:40:45,720

Oh, Jim.

What's happening?

758

00:
40:45,720 -- 00:40:47,722

Jim, what's happening?

759

00:
40:49,349 -- 00:40:52,477

First, it's

a Saturday-night thing,

760

00:
40:52,477 -- 00:40:55,481

and you feel cool,

like a gangster or a rock star.

761

00:
40:56,441 -- 00:40:58,526

It's just something

to kill the boredom, you know?

762

00:
40:59,361 -- 00:41:01,947

They call it a chippie,

a small habit.

763

00:
41:02,781 -- 00:41:06,202

It feels so good,

you start doing it on Tuesdays,

764

00:
41:06,202 -- 00:41:08,080

then Thursdays.

765

00:
41:09,331 -- 00:41:10,707

Then it's got you.

766

00:
41:11,250 -- 00:41:13,294

Every wise-ass punk

on the block says

767

00:
41:13,294 -- 00:41:14,503

it won't happen to them,

768

00:
41:15,130 -- 00:41:16,465

but it does.

769

00:
41:21,387 -- 00:41:22,514

Go do it!

770

00:
41:22,514 -- 00:41:24,015

I ain't doing it.

I always do it!

771

00:
41:26,060 -- 00:41:27,519

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

772

00:
41:30,106 -- 00:41:33,819

Excuse me, ma'am. Could you tell me

the fastest way to the subway?

773

00:
41:34,653 -- 00:41:38,949

Yeah. That's the "B" train.

Go to this corner and make a left.

774

00:
41:38,949 -- 00:41:39,826

It's right there.

775

00:
41:40,202 -- 00:41:41,786

What are you doing?

Let go! Let go!

776

00:
41:42,495 -- 00:41:44,248

Let go of that!

777

00:
41:44,373 -- 00:41:46,542

Oh, my God!

What? Oh!

778

00:
41:47,752 -- 00:41:50,213

- Help! No! No!

- What are you doing?

779

00:
41:51,382 -- 00:41:52,508

Let's go!

780

00:
42:00,642 -- 00:42:01,894

Come on!

781

00:
42:05,982 -- 00:42:07,525

I don't feel like going in today.

782

00:
42:09,612 -- 00:42:13,366

Father, is it all right

if I don't go in today?

783

00:
42:13,700 -- 00:42:16,203

Why? What are you

scared of?

784

00:
42:16,495 -- 00:42:19,247

Nothing. I just don't

feel like it, that's all.

785

00:
42:19,624 -- 00:42:24,546

I imagine you have more to confess

than anybody here.

786

00:
42:24,546 -- 00:42:26,214

Unburden yourself.

787

00:
42:35,517 -- 00:42:38,104

Bless me, Father,

for I have sinned.

788

00:
42:38,104 -- 00:42:42,150

It's been about four months

since my last confession.

789

00:
42:42,484 -- 00:42:44,778

Yes, my son?

790

00:
42:46,697 -- 00:42:48,449

Well, I don't know

where to start, Father.

791

00:
42:50,201 -- 00:42:52,621

Have you taken the name

of Jesus Christ in vain?

792

00:
42:52,746 -- 00:42:55,082

Yeah. Yeah, I have.

793

00:
42:55,082 -- 00:42:57,168

Have you disrespected

your mother and father?

794

00:
42:57,168 -- 00:42:58,419

Uh-huh.

795

00:
42:58,419 -- 00:43:01,048

Have you stolen

or cheated your fellow man?

796

00:
43:03,217 -- 00:43:05,136

Yeah, but I'm

not proud of it.

797

00:
43:05,136 -- 00:43:06,470

Have you had

impure thoughts

798

00:
43:06,470 -- 00:43:09,015

or engaged

in impure deeds?

799

00:
43:09,015 -- 00:43:10,726

Oh, Father, you have no idea.

800

00:
43:10,726 -- 00:43:14,230

Is there something else that you

want to tell me in your own words?

801

00:
43:15,857 -- 00:43:18,610

I've done all kinds

of crazy sh*t.

802

00:
43:18,610 -- 00:43:20,696

Oh, excuse me, Father.

803

00:
43:20,863 -- 00:43:22,407

F***, I'm s...

804

00:
43:23,324 -- 00:43:24,618

Christ, I have

a dirty mouth.

805

00:
43:24,618 -- 00:43:26,161

Look, I'm...

I'm sorry about that.

806

00:
43:26,953 -- 00:43:28,498

Will you just go on?

807

00:
43:29,123 -- 00:43:30,374

10 Hail Marys,

808

00:
43:30,708 -- 00:43:33,003

five Our Fathers.

809

00:
43:35,923 -- 00:43:37,091

What do you mean?

810

00:
43:37,091 -- 00:43:38,217

And that's it?

811

00:
43:38,217 -- 00:43:39,594

That's my punishment?

812

00:
43:44,057 -- 00:43:45,767

You know something?

813

00:
43:46,728 -- 00:43:49,230

My friend Bobby,

he was the best,

814

00:
43:49,855 -- 00:43:51,441

and he's dead.

815

00:
43:54,070 -- 00:43:56,405

This sucks! You know that?

This really sucks.

816

00:
43:57,115 -- 00:43:58,450

It's not fair, Father.

817

00:
44:01,620 -- 00:44:03,330

Your nose is running,

818

00:
44:03,330 -- 00:44:05,250

your stomach cramps,

819

00:
44:05,250 -- 00:44:07,460

your legs feel like

they've played

820

00:
44:07,460 -- 00:44:09,796

six straight games

on top of each other,

821

00:
44:10,505 -- 00:44:13,092

and the voice is always there

in the back of your head...

822

00:
44:13,884 -- 00:44:17,013

"Just one more time.

then we'll stop."

823

00:
44:36,620 -- 00:44:39,623

Quick to the ball. Quick to the ball.

Two hands. Good, Ignatius.

824

00:
44:39,832 -- 00:44:42,919

Good. Good. Quick to the ball.

Two hands. Right behind you.

825

00:
44:42,919 -- 00:44:44,630

Sir, all right if I use

the bathroom, Coach?

826

00:
44:44,630 -- 00:44:46,006

Jim, you got a bladder

like a woman.

827

00:
44:46,006 -- 00:44:47,091

Let's go. Again.

828

00:
44:47,926 -- 00:44:49,636

There we go. Right behind him.

829

00:
44:49,636 -- 00:44:50,553

Right behind him.
