:15:00
I can't worry about payments,
you know what I mean?
:15:03
I come home last Tuesday.
I have my money in cash.
:15:06
Comin' home, I ran into Jimmy Sparks.
:15:08
I owe him $700, like for four months.
I gotta pay the guy.
:15:11
He lives in my buildin', hangs out
across the street. I gotta pay him.
:15:14
So what happened?
:15:15
I had to give some to my mother.
:15:17
I wound up with $25
at the end of the week.
:15:19
And today, you ain't gonna believe,
'cause it's incredible.
:15:21
-I can't believe it myself.
-What?
:15:23
I was in a game.
I was ahead like $600 or $700, right?
:15:26
-You're kiddin'?
-That's the streak.
:15:27
You know Joey Clams?
:15:29
Joey Scala, yeah.
:15:30
-I know him, too, yeah.
-No, Joey Scala is Joey Clams.
:15:33
-Right.
-Right.
:15:34
-They're the same person.
-Yeah.
:15:37
So I was in there playin'
bankers and brokers. All of a sudden...
:15:41
...I'm ahead like $600, $700.
I'm really winnin'.
:15:43
All of a sudden some kid walks in
and yells that the bulls are comin', right?
:15:47
The cops are comin'. Everybody runs
away. I grab all the money. I go in.
:15:50
It's an excuse, like to get away.
:15:52
I'd give everybody the money later,
and that way I'd get out.
:15:55
I don't have to get into the game
and get a losin' streak.
:15:58
When I come out into the yard,
I don't know this buildin'.
:16:00
I don't know nothin'.
I couldn't get out. It was like a box.
:16:03
Big, like this. So I gotta go back in.
:16:05
Not only do I go back in,
but this kid says it's a false alarm.
:16:09
Imagine that?
I wanted to kill this fuckin' kid.
:16:13
I was so crazy, I wanted to kill this kid.
:16:15
Meanwhile, I gotta get back in the game.
Bing, bing, bing! I lose $400.
:16:20
Meanwhile, Frankie Bones is over there.
:16:22
I owe him $1,300 for seven,
eight months already.
:16:24
He's after me. I can't walk on the street
without duckin' that guy.
:16:27
He's like waitin' for me.
Like I can't move, you know.
:16:30
He sees that I'm losin', right?
So he's waitin' for me.
:16:33
He's tappin' me on the shoulder.
He's saying, ''Hey.''
:16:34
Tappin' me like this. Like a hawk.
:16:37
''Hey, get it up. You're losin'.
Give me some money.''
:16:39
I say, ''Frankie, come on. Give me a break
over here. Let me win some back.
:16:43
''I got debts. I'm in a big hole.''
:16:45
He says, ''Never mind, give me the money.''
I say, ''Okay, Frankie.''
:16:47
So I give him $200.
Meanwhile, I lost the deal.
:16:50
I go outside, a little depressed--
:16:51
I'll cut the story short
'cause you don't want to hear all this.
:16:54
I know, I know, I know.
:16:55
Make a long story short.
:16:57
So anyway, I went out shoppin'.
:16:59
Got a new tie, got this shirt, right?
You like the shirt?
