:38:02
- Okay.
- All right.

:38:06
Now do you want to hear
a real tragedy?

:38:08
I can't eat tongue anymore.
:38:12
But I'm gonna save it.
:38:15
Maybe I should have it mounted
and hang it in my study, huh?

:38:23
Okay. So I made a list
of subjects for you to talk about.

:38:27
All the heavy stuff... death,
love, marriage, family.

:38:31
Oh, all of the stuff
that you're scared of. Huh.

:38:34
- Things I want to hear you talk about.
- And you're scared of.

:38:37
Why be ashamed? Everybody's
afraid of those things.

:38:41
Add fear to the list.
:38:43
You don't seem to be scared.
:38:45
I told you, I have
my early morning moments.

:38:48
Did you ever know anybody
who was dying?

:38:51
Yeah, I had an uncle.
Mike. He was young.

:38:54
He was more
of a brother, really.

:38:56
Testing, testing.
[Clears Throat]

:39:00
Mike taught me football, taught me
music, taught me how to drive.

:39:03
[Chuckles] We used to drive around
this empty lot for hours.

:39:07
Yeah, he was 42
when he died. Cancer.

:39:10
And you never
talked about it?

:39:12
We did what people do, you know?
We pretended nothing was wrong.

:39:15
- Hmm.
- That's actually when I gave up
music, when Mike died.

:39:18
- Oh, yeah, when you grew up, huh?
- When I woke up, Coach.

:39:21
Saw I better get moving if I'm
gonna make anything out of my life.

:39:25
Well, you made a big success.
I always knew you would. But you ran.

:39:29
Did you ever stop to think
about what you're running from?

:39:32
[Turns On Recorder,
Clears Throat]

:39:35
Okay, what do you want
to tackle first here?

:39:38
Death? Love? What about
marriage? That's a good one.

:39:41
- Stickball.
- Stickball?

:39:44
- Yeah. Did you ever play stickball?
- Uh, no.

:39:46
Kids don't play stickball anymore,
really. I played Little League.

:39:49
They don't play anymore?
Oh, that's too bad.

:39:51
Stickball was what
all the slum kids played.

:39:54
You know, where I grew up.
Manhattan, the Lower East Side.

:39:57
- [Children Chattering]
- A broom handle and a rubber ball
was all you needed.
