:26:00
I'll tell you what's the matter with him.
:26:02
With him, everything's either right or wrong.
There's no in-between.
:26:13
I remember once when he was
my precinct commander,
:26:16
the wholesale butcher in the neighbourhood
gave out Christmas turkeys.
:26:19
Every cop in the precinct got one.
:26:22
Butcher wasn't asking for any favours,
he just had an attack of Santa Claus.
:26:28
But Russell sent his turkey back.
:26:31
His wife was alive at the time,
they didn't have much, like the rest of us.
:26:36
But he sent his back.
:26:38
What a break for the turkey.
:26:42
You're smoking.
:26:45
Yeah, sure I'm smoking.
:27:04
You all right, Tony?
You look a bit off-key for graduation day.
:27:08
I didn't sleep worth a damn last night.
:27:14
Oh, your shoelaces is untied.
:27:18
I haven't heard that for years.
My father used to say it all the time.
:27:22
I miss him. Especially on a day like today.
:27:25
Do you remember that winter
:27:27
when you and I were
nothing more than rookies
:27:30
and the department had you marching
out there in the winds of Staten Island?
:27:35
You froze, because you wouldn't cooperate
with the boys from Tammany Hall.
:27:40
And it was Captain Kane of the old
7th Precinct that did something about it.
:27:45
Two days later, you were off Staten Island.
:27:49
It was as cold in the far reaches
of the Bronx where I was,
:27:53
and he didn't raise a finger to bring me in.
:27:56
I loved your father.
He was the only one I had.
:27:59
I didn't mind sharing him with you.
