:17:02
He's got a wife, children.
:17:05
He's a wonderful father.
:17:08
His mother. . .
:17:09
. . .you should see her. Together with
his father, they're like a car wreck.
:17:14
It just rolls off his back.
:17:16
He sees them.
He pays the rent. Unbelievable!
:17:21
I was the one that wanted to get
married. He didn't really want it. . .
:17:26
. . .but he did it.
I don't know why.
:17:29
Why did you want to get married?
:17:34
I thought it would help me.
:17:39
But it didn't.
:17:41
I was so confused.
I was doing. . .
:17:44
. . .insane things.
:17:46
What sort of things, Leon?
:17:52
After the wedding. . .
:17:54
. . .I ran off for 10 days
to Atlantic City.
:17:58
Sonny was frantic.
:18:01
He knew I'd been drinking. He didn't
know where I was, who I was with.
:18:06
I couldn't explain the things I did.
:18:09
So I went to a psychiatrist. . .
:18:11
. . .who told me. . .
:18:13
. . .that I was a woman
trapped in a man's body.
:18:24
So right away he wanted to give me
money for the sex change operation.
:18:29
But where was he going to get it?
:18:31
$2,500?
:18:33
My God, he was in hock
up to his ears already.
:18:36
He needed the money
for your operation?
:18:38
It drive him crazy.
:18:41
He would fly into these rages.
:18:44
And I got more depressed than ever.
:18:47
I knew I'd never get my operation.
:18:52
So I tried to kill myself.
I took about a half a pound of pills.
:18:56
Blues, yellows, screamers,
uppers, downers, you name it.
