It's a bar fight. But it's
an off-duty cop he whacked.

:07:02
He whacked a cop?
:07:05
Is the guy hurt?
:07:06
Well, Grandpa says he
"kicked the bull's ass...

:07:09
...the length of the bar
and halfway down 10th Ave."

:07:11
When is he gonna let up?
Oh, Christ.

:07:15
Well, what the hell, it's nice
to know I have strong genes.

:07:19
Hope I'm getting pinched
for bar fights in my 60s.

:07:21
Just remember, Adam,
along with those strong genes...

:07:25
...my father passes on a lot
of other crap to go with it.

:07:28
- So stay away from him.
- He's not looking to hurt me.

:07:30
No, he's not, but it'll happen anyway.
:07:34
He'll spend the night in the can.
Fine with me.

:07:38
- Lend me $800.
- Forget it.

:07:41
I stood bail for him three years ago.
I haven't heard from him since.

:07:44
- I don't stand bail for Jessie anymore.
- You're not.

:07:48
I'm borrowing the money.
I've got $200, I'd like 800 more.

:07:52
- So it's for you?
- Right.

:08:02
Adam, the last year
my mother was alive...

:08:07
...I was 7 years old. Okay?
:08:09
Jessie took me along Christmas Eve
to buy a tree, right?

:08:12
Near midnight we're passing an
Esso station up near Riverdale...

:08:15
...and right on top of the garage is
a perfect, all lit-up Christmas tree.

:08:20
So Jessie hits the brakes and he says,
"Wow, what a score, it's even got lights."

:08:24
Wait a minute.
:08:26
I'm standing lookout, I was 7 years old,
while he climbs up the drainpipe...

:08:30
...and pulls down the tree,
lights and all.

:08:33
What's so funny?
I got a dozen stories like that.

:08:36
Like helping him rob Lionel trains
out of Macy's when I was 12 years old.

:08:40
He's working there, I had to cut school
because he decided...

:08:43
...to take a box of engines out.
Thought he'd get money for it.

:08:47
- What happened?
- It doesn't matter what happened.

:08:51
- Just know who you're dealing with.
- All right, all right.

:08:59
- That's eight.
- Thanks.
