:07:00
The boss tells me to go get my time.
:07:04
I wouldn't get discouraged.
:07:05
Sometimes you lose a job
just to get a better one.

:07:08
I don't know.
:07:09
I just wanna think it over.
I mean, the whole thing over.

:07:14
That's why I came here to the park.
:07:17
I always think
I can think better in the park.

:07:21
That's why I took my shoes off.
:07:23
I always think better with my shoes off.
You ever notice that?

:07:26
On or off, I have trouble.
:07:28
But what I have to think about...
:07:30
...is if I should stay in New York in
the first place, or else go back home.

:07:35
I mean, you take New York.
:07:38
You never meet anybody to talk to...
:07:40
...unless it's somebody
you happen to know...

:07:42
...or somebody fresh or looking
for something they're not entitled to.

:07:46
It's an extremely unfriendly
community.

:07:49
If you only knew how long it took me
to save up the $ 1000.

:07:52
- What $ 1000?
- That I saved up.

:07:57
The reason I came to New York was
to try and make a name for myself.

:08:01
And I haven't even
gotten started on it.

:08:04
I'm getting nowhere.
You know what I mean?

:08:08
Some people,
when they get to that point...

:08:11
...where they realize
that they're getting nowhere...

:08:14
...they just kill themselves.
:08:17
But I don't feel like it.
:08:19
Well, that is a fairly drastic step.
:08:21
The only other thing is
to go back home.

:08:24
Do the same thing
as everybody else.

:08:27
Go back to work in the shoe factory.
:08:29
Marry the first man that asks.
:08:32
Or the second.
:08:35
And then...
:08:37
...goodbye "name for yourself."
:08:39
Goodbye dreams.
:08:43
In fact, goodbye, Charlie.
:08:48
If you'll forgive me, Gladys...
:08:50
...l'd better get back
to being gainfully employed.

:08:52
- Thanks for the peanuts.
- You're more than welcome.
