:18:02
Those guys are gonna use me up
and end me.

:18:05
No, they won't, man.
:18:08
You know why? Because you're
smarter than all of them.

:18:10
You're gonna get up there,
:18:12
you're gonna keep your eyes open
and your mouth shut.

:18:14
You're gonna know the names,
the whole scenario.

:18:17
You're gonna have the place
wired in a week.

:18:19
The place is overcrowded.
:18:21
They got bunk beds lined up
in the gymnasium

:18:23
to handle the overflow.
:18:25
I'm going in a room
with 200 other guys, Frank.

:18:29
So picture this --
first night, lights out.

:18:31
Guards are moving out
of the space,

:18:33
Iooking back over their
shoulders, laughing at me,

:18:35
"You are miles from home."
:18:39
Door closes, boom --
I'm on the floor,

:18:41
I got some big guy's knee
in my back.

:18:43
I can give it a little go, but
there will be too many of them.

:18:46
Someone takes a pipe out
from under a mattress,

:18:47
starts beating me
in the face --

:18:49
not to hurt me, just to knock
all my teeth out

:18:51
so I can give him head
all night,

:18:52
and they don't have to worry
about me biting.

:18:54
Let's say I make it through
7 years

:18:57
minus 84 days
for good behavior.

:18:59
W-What then?
What kind of skills do I have?

:19:01
I can't get a job
in the straight world.

:19:03
I can't go back to doing this.
:19:05
It's 15 years to life
for a second pinch.

:19:07
I mean, I --
:19:10
I'm gonna be a 38-year-old
punked-out ex-con

:19:12
with government-issue
dentures.

:19:14
38 is still young.
:19:16
You're gonna get out,
and you and me,

:19:18
we're gonna start something
up -- you know, a fucking bar.

:19:20
We're two lrish kids
from Brooklyn.

:19:22
Where the fuck would we be
without a bar, right?

:19:24
How can we not have a bar?
:19:26
Come on, we have free hot dogs
on "Monday Night Football,"

:19:30
you know?
:19:31
We got an old jukebox
in the corner.

:19:33
Green beer on St. Patty's day.
:19:36
Fuck green beer, Frank.
:19:37
You've been working 15 years
to get away from green beer.

:19:39
God, I hate this shit, too.
I'm just saying we got options.

:19:42
I appreciate the thought.
:19:44
I don't see it, man.
:19:46
Seven years, you're gonna be
running your own show.

:19:48
I don't see you
working with me.

:19:49
We've known each other
since we were 3.

:19:52
Have I ever broken a promise
to you, huh?

:19:54
Have I ever once broken
a promise to you?

:19:56
Have I ever said I'm gonna be
somewhere and not shown up?
