Joe,

:59:11
That's great.
It's all great.
:59:14
What's the matter?
:59:16
Nothin'. I just gotta
take a break for a minute.
:59:18
- You wanna take a break?
- Yeah.
:59:21
- All right.
- Got a cramp.
:59:25
[ Billiard Balls Clacking ]
:59:28
Man.
:59:30
[ Sighs ]
It's a nice-- nice spot.
:59:33
- Come here a long time.
- Yeah?
:59:35
- Yeah.
- You from around here?
You live around here?
:59:38
- New York, born and raised.
West 45th Street.
- Mmm.
:59:44
- Got a big family?
- No.
:59:47
Got a sister who
lives in Jersey.
:59:50
I had a brother,
but he got killed.
:59:53
- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.
:59:56
He welshed on some Shylocks.
They took him out to Canarsie,
shot him through the head.
1:00:00
Your brother?
1:00:06
How'd you get into
your line of work?
1:00:09
- My line of work?
- Yeah.
1:00:11
My father.
Was he tough.
1:00:15
You ever think about
doin' anything else?
1:00:18
- Like what?
- Like writing.
1:00:20
- Writing.
- Yeah.
1:00:22
- Come on, I've been collecting
for the Mob since I was 16.
- You have a huge gift.
1:00:24
- Yeah.
- No, I'm serious.
Really, it's-- it's uncanny.
1:00:29
- I mean, your instincts.
Dramatic instincts.
- Listen to me.
1:00:33
- Your play was very good.
Your play was very good.
- Really enviable.
1:00:36
You just didn't use your head.
Sometimes people don't think.
1:00:41
Well, sure, for you
it's simple, you know?
1:00:43
To someone who can draw, it all seems
logical, but for someone who can't--
1:00:48
I studied playwriting
with every teacher. I read every book.
1:00:51
Let me tell you about teachers.
I hate teachers.
1:00:53
Those blue-haired bitches used to
whack us with rulers. Forget teachers.
1:00:56
- There was a boy I knew when I was
growing up, and he played accordion.
- Yeah?
