Two years later...
:06:05
M dad quit the mob,
but he couldn't quit the drugs.
:06:11
With a regular job,
he had more money to buy them.
:06:16
He hid it from us,
but he was high all the time.
:06:19
He got caught twice,
but he had the money for bail.
:06:24
Me and my mom and my brother
always used to say...
:06:28
"Why don't you just stay in jail
for a while?"
:06:33
He'd be eating ice cream
all the time.
:06:37
You know. that white stuff...
:06:39
Like the ice shavings?
:06:41
Yeah, the stuff with that kind of
hard ice in it.
:06:46
Our fridge was full of it.
:06:49
I mean, obvious or what?
:06:51
Once I was sniffing glue
in the living room...
:06:55
...when the cops raided our house.
I ran upstairs...
:06:59
...to hide my stuff in the closet.
:07:03
But when I opened the closet,
all these bags of white powder...
:07:08
...came falling out
where my dad had hidden them.
:07:11
I had it tough.
:07:14
When my old man was caught,
it was in the paper.
:07:18
At school someone pasted the article
in the class paper.
:07:21
People made fun of me,
and I hadn't done anything.
:07:25
Adults. too. Not just kids.
:07:28
Adults made fun of ypu?
:07:32
We'd go to someone's house,
and I couldn't go in.
:07:36
"Do you know what your dad did?"
their parents would say.
:07:40
"I didn't do it, you jerk!" I'd say.
"You know your son sniffs glue?"
:07:45
When I see that in the papers,
I think of the kids...
:07:50
They're the ones who suffer.
:07:52
If kids came to my place,
they'd think the juice was spiked.
:07:57
As if you'd put speed
in orange juice!
