:09:00
I don't want you getting
into any trouble.
:09:02
Come on, Father,
you know I never do.
:09:04
That's all I wish
for you and your friends.
:09:07
That's it?
:09:08
That's it.
Nothing else, I swear.
:09:10
You know,
a priest shouldn't swear.
:09:11
And kids shouldn't listen
to other people's confessions.
:09:14
I'll see you tonight.
:09:16
All right. See you.
:09:17
OK.
:09:19
Michael was the most sexually
experienced of our group,
:09:22
which meant
that he'd kissed a girl
:09:24
on more than one occasion.
:09:25
But his real love
was Carol Martinez.
:09:27
Hell's kitchen's half-breed -
:09:29
halfPuerto Rican, half Irish -
:09:30
she was raised by her father,
:09:32
her mother having died
at childbirth.
:09:34
Carol stayed
pretty much to herself,
:09:36
but was always comfortable
in our company.
:09:38
We could always count
on Carol to stand sentry
:09:41
on the first night
of the Ice Capades.
:09:43
While families lined
the front of the garden
:09:44
waiting to see
the skaters perform,
:09:46
we each had one eye in a hole
:09:48
watching two dozen beautiful,
nearly-naked women
:09:50
get into their skaters' outfits.
:09:54
This is what
heaven must be about.
:10:01
Oh, my God.
:10:05
Hey, uh, Carol,
you want to take a look?
:10:07
Like it's something
I haven't seen.
:10:09
Oh, you're so lucky.
:10:11
Oh, wow.
:10:12
She's so beautiful.
:10:13
Oh, my! I could die now,
and I wouldn't be sad.
:10:17
When my friends
and I were young,
:10:17
When my friends
and I were young,
:10:19
Hell's Kitchen was run
by a man named King Benny.
:10:22
When he was young, King Benny
was a hitman for Lucky Luciano.
:10:25
Lucky Luciano did a lot of good
for this country during WWII,
:10:28
but you ain't gonna read
about that in any history book.
:10:31
There was talk King Benny
was the shooter
:10:34
of "Mad Dog" Call,
that prick on West 23rd Street.
:10:36
He went bootlegging
with Dutch Schultz,
:10:38
and he opened a couple of clubs
:10:40
with "Tough Tony" Anastasia.
:10:42
I was 14 when
I first hear about him.
:10:44
The story goes, as a kid
he wasn't much of anything.
:10:47
He always got the shit kicked
out of him in street fights.
:10:50
And then one day -
:10:52
and who the fuck knows why -
:10:53
some Irish guy,
about 25 years old,
:10:56
takes King Benny, and flings him
down a flight of stairs.
:10:59
King Benny breaks
all his teeth in the front.
