-lt's your fault.
-You started it!

:04:02
I started it? It's your fault.
:04:04
At first my parents loved that I found
a job across the street from the house.

:04:10
My father, who was Irish,
was sent to work at the age of 11.

:04:13
He liked that I got myself a job.
:04:16
He always used to say
that American kids were spoiled lazy.

:04:25
Henry! Watch how you cross!
:04:28
Bring back milk!
:04:29
My mother was happy after
she found out the Ciceros...

:04:32
...came from the same part of Sicily
as she did. To my mother...

:04:36
...that was the answer to all her prayers.
:04:40
I was the luckiest kid in the world.
:04:42
I could go anywhere, do anything.
:04:45
I knew everybody, and everybody knew me.
:04:48
Wiseguys would pull up and Tuddy
would let me park their Cadillacs.

:04:53
Here I am, this little kid,
I can't even see over the steering wheel...

:04:56
...and I'm parking Cadillacs.
:05:02
But, it wasn't too long...
:05:04
...before my parents changed
their minds about my job at the cabstand.

:05:09
For them, it was supposed to be
a part-time job. But for me...

:05:13
...it was definitely full time.
:05:15
That's all I wanted to do.
:05:17
People like my father could never
understand, but I was part of something.

:05:21
I belonged. I was treated like a grown-up.
:05:24
Tell him 519.
:05:26
Every day I was learning to score.
:05:28
A dollar here, a dollar there.
I was living in a fantasy.

:05:34
Did you have a good day at school?
:05:36
My father was always pissed off.
:05:39
Pissed that he made such lousy money,
that my brother Michael...

:05:42
...was in a wheelchair.
:05:44
He was pissed that there were seven of us
living in such a tiny house.

:05:48
Tell me about this.
:05:50
It's a letter from school.
:05:53
It says you haven't been there in months.
:05:56
In months!
:05:59
You're a bum!
