:43:05
- Why are you looking at me like that?
- Like what?

:43:08
Why do you always follow me?
:43:12
Why do you always follow me
when I do something wrong?

:43:15
Why can't you follow me
when I do something right?

:43:18
- What are you talking about?
- What am I talking about?

:43:20
- I'm talking about the medal.
- What medal?

:43:23
What fucking medal?
What fucking medal?

:43:25
The only fucking medal that was ever
in our house. That fucking medal.

:43:30
The medal I won at football.
:43:32
And you sat on the sidelines
shouting instructions...

:43:35
like you could only see
what I was doing--

:43:36
you couldn't even
fucking play football--

:43:38
and you could only see
what I was doing wrong.

:43:41
I could never do anything
good enough foryou.

:43:43
And after the game,
you came up to me and said...

:43:46
"Gerry, did you foul the ball?"
:43:49
And I walked away from you, remember?
I walked away into the dressing room.

:43:52
You followed me in there and said again,
"Gerry, did you foul the ball?"

:43:56
All the other fathers were in there
laughing at you...

:43:58
calling you "Poor Giuseppe."
:44:00
And I ran out, and I hid,
and I wrote your name on the ground--

:44:03
your stupid Giuseppe fucking name--
:44:05
I wrote it in the dirt,
and I fucking pissed on it!

:44:09
I pissed on it...
:44:11
because I did foul the ball.
:44:14
What did it matter? We won.
For once in our lives, we won.

:44:18
You ruined that medal for me! I took it
to the pawn, and they laughed at me.

:44:20
- They wouldn't give me 50 pence for it.
- This is shock.

:44:23
And that's when I started to rob,
to prove that I was no good.

:44:27
- Delayed shock.
- Never mind delayed shock.

:44:29
I've been like this
since I was seven.

:44:32
I remember Mammy said to me,
"Don't upset Giuseppe. He's not well."

:44:35
Oh, dear Lord, he's not well.
So we'd tiptoe around the house.

:44:38
Like this, tiptoeing around the house.
"Not well, you know. He's not well."

:44:42
Then I got Holy Communion.
I thought I was eating you alive.

:44:45
Is it my fault you weren't well?
:44:47
Why did you have to be sick
all your life, Giuseppe?

:44:50
What'd you have to be sick
all your life for?

:44:52
When that mad bastard out there
threatened to shoot you, I was happy.

:44:56
I swear to God.
Honest to God, I was happy.

:44:58
I was delighted! You know why?
Because finally it was all over.
