[00:10.53]May 10th. [00:11.68] [00:12.54]Thank God...
[00:10.53]May 10th.
[00:11.68]
[00:12.54]Thank God for the rain, which is help wash away
[00:14.83]the garbage and the trash off the sidewalks.
[00:19.01]I'm working long hours now.
[00:20.78]6 days a week, sometimes 7 days a week.
[00:22.14]It's a long hustle, but it keeps me real busy.
[00:27.16]I can take in $300, $350 a week.
[00:29.69]Sometimes even more, when I do it off the meter.
[00:31.97]
[00:35.82]All the animals come out at night.
[00:38.59]Buggers, queens, fairies, ******, junkies.
[00:42.48]Sick, venal.
[00:44.36]Someday, a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
[00:47.54]
[00:49.18]I go all over.
[00:50.38]I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn.
[00:52.11]I take them to Harlem.
[00:54.34]I don't care. Don't make no difference to me.
[00:57.53]It does to some. Some won't even take spooks.
[01:00.66]Don't make no difference to me.
[01:02.03]
[01:04.36]Each night when I return the cab to the garage,
[01:06.68]I have to clean the back seat.
[01:10.15]Some nights, I clean off the blood.
[01:10.36]
[01:13.43]12 hours of work and I still can't sleep.
[01:16.06]Damn.
[01:17.98]Days go on and on. They don't end.
[01:23.54]All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go.
[01:27.25]I don't believe that one should devote
[01:31.00]his life to morbid self-attention.
[01:32.46]I believe that someone should become a person like other people.
[01:36.11]
[01:55.73]Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere.
[01:59.63]In bars, in cars... sidewalks, stores, everywhere.
[02:05.80]There's no escape.
[02:08.03]I'm God's lonely man.
[02:10.26]
[02:10.97]
[02:15.58]June 8th.
[02:18.56]
[02:18.56]My life has taken another turn again.
[02:21.16]The days move along with regularity, over and over...
[02:24.56]And suddenly... there is change.
[02:28.49]
[02:29.09]
[02:44.69]June 29th.
[02:46.66]
[02:47.78]I gotta get in shape now.
[02:49.15]From now on, it'll be 50 pushups each morning.
[02:51.02]Fifty pull-ups.
[02:52.78]From now on, it'll be total organization.
[02:54.64]Every muscle must be tight.
[02:59.76]
[03:01.47]The idea had been growing in my brain for some time.
[03:04.61]True force.
[03:06.22]All the king's men cannot put it back together again.
[03:09.45]
[03:19.96]You talking to me?
[03:24.53]You talking to me?
[03:27.78]You talking to me?
[03:32.14]Then who the hell else are you talking?
[03:33.66]Talking to me?
[03:36.29]Well, I'm the only one here.
[03:39.79]Who do you think you're talking to?
[03:42.93]Oh, yeah?
[03:45.40]Okay.
[03:53.82]
[03:54.77]Listen, you screwheads.
[03:57.71]Here is a man who would not take it anymore.
[03:58.92]A man who stood up against the scum, the dogs,
[04:01.59]the filth.
[04:02.71]Here is someone who stood up.
[04:15.20]Now I see it clearly.
[04:16.66]My whole life is pointed in one direction.
[04:19.44]I see that now.
[04:20.90]And never has been any choice for me.
