:54:23
Not a sign of Tommy anywhere.
:54:25
Yeah, l know. l've been all over.
:54:28
Don't worry, Drina.
He knows his way around.
:54:31
He can take care of himself.
:54:32
He can take care of himself
too well.
:54:34
How could he
have done such a thing?
:54:36
Where does he learn
about knives and--
:54:37
He had an expert teacher.
:54:40
Anyway, it's not hard to learn
in a place like this.
:54:43
But, he's not a bad kid.
Not really bad.
:54:45
He never has been.
:54:47
The famous Baby Face Martin
used to live on this block.
:54:50
He wasn't such a bad kid either, at first.
:54:52
He was smart and brave
and decent, at first.
:54:55
Like Tommy, you mean.
:54:57
Ever since he was a little kid,
l've tried to teach him what's right.
:55:00
l don't know what else to do.
l've tried to bring him up decent.
:55:02
What chance have they got
against all this?
:55:04
They've got to fight for a place to play,
fight for a little extra something to eat,
:55:06
fight for everything.
They get used to fighting.
:55:09
Enemies of society,
it says in the papers.
:55:11
Why not? What have they got
to be so friendly about?
:55:15
lt didn't do those things to you.
:55:17
Didn't it? Well, it did
enough to me, the other way.
:55:20
lt made them accept it
and get tough about it.
:55:22
lt made me into a fool.
:55:24
l spent my life dreaming
about tearing these places down.
:55:29
Well, l found out today.
:55:31
l saw myself and these rotten holes
we live in through somebody else's eyes.
:55:35
l wanted to tear them down
with my fingers.
:55:40
Yeah, you always talked about that--
:55:41
how you were going to
tear all this down
:55:43
and all the other places like them.
:55:44
How you were going to build
a decent world
:55:46
where people could live decent
and be decent.
:55:48
But now you want them down
just so she won't see them
:55:50
'cause they're not pretty
for her to see.
:55:52
All it means to you now
is whether or not you get her.
:55:54
Well, go on and get her.
And forget all this.
:55:56
And if you can forget, it's all you
were ever good for in the first place!
