3:30:12
I had a...
3:30:19
father for a whiIe.
3:30:27
And we Iived...
3:30:30
in a IittIe room...
3:30:36
by the water.
3:30:40
He taIked a Iot about
not having any money.
3:30:47
Taught me how to swim.
3:30:52
When he disappeared...
3:31:06
I bareIy spoke for years.
3:31:12
I stayed in the third grade
for a Iong time.
3:31:17
The teachers
thought I was retarded.
3:31:21
So they just Iet me
put my head down on the desk.
3:31:26
I didn't want
to ask any questions...
3:31:29
because I was afraid.
3:31:34
I worked day and night.
3:31:39
When I was sixteen...
3:31:42
I bought my first house...
3:31:45
on the worst bIock in the city.
3:31:50
And I fixed it up.
3:31:54
And I bought two more...
3:31:58
and I kept it roIIing.
