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.
:09:05
That was nice what you did
in there for them.
:09:07
Might get out of this cesspool
because of you.
:09:10
Well, I had them over a barrel.
:09:12
Somebody loves you, you got a hell of
a weapon in the relationship, you know?
:09:18
Hey.
:09:22
Listen, it's supposed
to work both ways, kiddo.
:09:25
I mean, if you love somebody back,
then they got an equal weapon, no?
:09:28
You're right.
I guess we got a standoff.
:09:30
- I guess we do.
- They may move. I think you did it.
:09:33
- I better get a cab.
- Good.
:09:35
- How about dinner next week?
- Sure. What time should we be there?
:09:39
- You did want Christine, no?
- Of course, Adam.
:09:42
You know Christine's always welcome.
You wanna catch a ride with us?
:09:46
- No, thanks.
- Okay, good night, Adam.
:09:48
- Bye, sweetheart.
- Why doesn't he wanna ride with us?
:09:49
- Bye, sweetheart.
- Why doesn't he wanna ride with us?
