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.
3:32:03
And I got everything
I thought that I ever wanted.
3:32:11
And it stiII wasn't enough.
3:32:18
And then the Iadies came.
3:32:23
You know, the kind
attracted to success.
3:32:32
And it didn't matter to them...
3:32:36
that I stuttered,
and I couId bareIy speak.
3:32:41
The more remote that I became,
the more they Iiked it.
3:32:47
They took it
as a sign of strength.
3:32:51
So I started pIaying games--
3:32:54
just to keep it interesting.
3:32:58
And the games
became a way of Iife.
