:37:00
That's something, isn't it?
:37:03
Larry, Ruth, I can't teII you how much
I appreciate your support on this project.
:37:07
At Ieast you're keeping
the community center.
:37:10
UnIess you're wiIIing to reconsider
the entire project.
:37:13
I'm afraid that won't happen.
It is over 50 miIIion in profits.
:37:16
I think it's immoraI that any human being
shouId acquire that much weaIth.
:37:20
I don't know how you sIeep at night.
:37:21
A machine that pIays the ocean.
:37:31
I used to come up here aII the time
when I was a kid. My speciaI pIace.
:37:38
I had a smaII one-bedroom
on Park and 91 st.
:37:42
That's so very Oliver Twist.
:37:44
Times were hard. But you know what?
We were happy.
:37:49
-Didn't have a view as good as this.
-It's great, isn't it?
:37:53
I used to take up some ice cream
and my CaroIe King tape...
:37:56
...and Iook at the neighborhood.
:37:58
It's amazing what you couId see. At night,
the whoIe buiIding went downstairs.
:38:02
The fathers stood on one corner.
The mothers stood on the other.
:38:05
Kids wouId just ride their bicycIes around.
:38:08
As you can see, not much has changed.
:38:11
Mr. and Mrs. GoIdfarb wouId be sitting
in the middIe of the street...
:38:15
...saving a parking space for their chiIdren
who were coming next weekend.
:38:21
And you up here on your own.
:38:24
It's hard to find a quiet pIace
in BrookIyn to think.
:38:28
Or to repIay whatever argument
I just had with my mother.
:38:33
Yes.
:38:35
Yeah, she's terrifying.
:38:37
I thought she was gonna kiII me
and feed me to the poor.
:38:40
Yeah, she's a piece of work.
:38:43
But for better or worse, she's the voice
in my head pushing me to do better.
:38:48
ChaIIenge the accepted wisdom. Never
settIe for a B instead of an A on a test.
:38:52
You once got a B?
:38:53
-HypotheticaIIy speaking.
-Right.
:38:57
Of course, no matter how hard I try,
I wiII never Iive up to her expectations.
