00:11:01,008 --> 00:11:03,184
You know, I will never
forget that night.

173
00:11:03,227 --> 00:11:04,794
Of course not,

174
00:11:04,838 --> 00:11:08,493
because I told you
what happened.

175
00:11:08,537 --> 00:11:10,104
I'm your memory.

176
00:11:12,497 --> 00:11:16,501
I got a full house
and a baby waiting to be born.

177
00:11:16,545 --> 00:11:19,417
You told him
how important this was?

178
00:11:19,461 --> 00:11:21,028
Of course I did,

179
00:11:21,071 --> 00:11:23,247
but that doesn't jive
with him.

180
00:11:23,291 --> 00:11:27,077
Put my neck
on the chopping block
to make this happen.

181
00:11:27,121 --> 00:11:30,820
Joe, would you just
calm yourself down?
He's gonna be here.

182
00:11:30,864 --> 00:11:33,867
He's probably
just nervous, you know?

183
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:36,913
He's standing somewhere
watching us right now.

184
00:11:40,612 --> 00:11:43,615
Hello.
My name is Joe Papp.

185
00:11:43,659 --> 00:11:46,009
Good evening, ladies.
May we have your attention?

186
00:11:46,053 --> 00:11:47,619
We're your tour guide
with the city.
Check this out.

187
00:11:47,663 --> 00:11:50,187
5, 6, 7, 8. Huh.

188
00:11:52,973 --> 00:11:56,585
I met Miguel Piñero
shortly after his release
from Sing Sing...

189
00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:58,979
Take off your shit, ho.What are you doing?

190
00:11:59,022 --> 00:12:01,982
...where, for the past year,
he found the courage

191
00:12:02,025 --> 00:12:05,812
to write and develop
a play called Short Eyes

192
00:12:05,855 --> 00:12:07,901
about the very place
where he was living.

193
00:12:07,944 --> 00:12:10,120
Let go, let go, let go.

194
00:12:10,164 --> 00:12:11,600
Go, go, go.

195
00:12:13,167 --> 00:12:16,736
All dramatists of real value

196
00:12:16,779 --> 00:12:19,042
must sooner or later confront

197
00:12:19,086 --> 00:12:23,220
what for themselves
is truly dangerous.

198
00:12:26,136 --> 00:12:26,963
Taxi.

199
00:12:31,446 --> 00:12:34,579
Now we are proud
to present to you Short Eyes.

200
00:12:38,018 --> 00:12:39,236
Go.

201
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,064
You do that very well.

202
00:12:56,297 --> 00:13:01,215
You know,
this is the best thing
that could happen to us.

203
00:13:01,258 --> 00:13:04,174
I think so. Really.

204
00:13:04,218 --> 00:13:08,178
I mean, we are less now.
We'll eat more.

205
00:13:08,222 --> 00:13:09,310
Hey.

206
00:13:09,353 --> 00:13:12,226
We'll go to dancing,

207
00:13:12,269 --> 00:13:14,837
we will swim
in the Hudson River,

208
00:13:14,881 --> 00:13:16,665
we will read poetry,

209
00:13:16,708 --> 00:13:20,582
we will go to the movies...

210
00:13:29,460 --> 00:13:31,680
[no audio]

211
00:13:39,035 --> 00:13:40,210
[police officer] Name?

212
00:13:40,254 --> 00:13:41,690
Miguel Piñero.

213
00:13:43,561 --> 00:13:45,520
What do you do
for a living?

214
00:13:45,563 --> 00:13:48,088
I'm a writer, poet,
reporter.

215
00:13:48,131 --> 00:13:49,393
Really?

216
00:13:49,437 --> 00:13:51,831
And a thief, a junkie

217
00:13:51,874 --> 00:13:53,963
and whatever else
one has to be sometimes.

218
00:13:54,007 --> 00:13:55,356
You know how it is.

219
00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:57,053
You?

220
00:13:57,097 --> 00:13:59,142
Tito. Tito Goya.

221
00:13:59,186 --> 00:14:01,275
And you?

222
00:14:01,318 --> 00:14:02,711
Hey, that's Goya.

223
00:14:02,754 --> 00:14:05,496
For the beans,
not the painter.

224
00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:07,716
If it's Goya,
it's gotta be good, ¿tu sabes?

225
00:14:11,502 --> 00:14:13,417
Charlie!

226
00:14:13,461 --> 00:14:15,593
You owe me three packs, man.

227
00:14:15,637 --> 00:14:19,336
[guard]Off the fuckin' noise.

228
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:22,383
Now, if I have to call your name
more than once, pray,

229
00:14:22,426 --> 00:14:24,602
'cause your soul
may belong to God,

230
00:14:24,646 --> 00:14:26,648
but your ass is mine.

231
00:14:26,691 --> 00:14:29,694
Yeah, and your brain
may belong to the state,

232
00:14:29,738 --> 00:14:33,220
but your sanity
belongs to me.

233
00:14:33,263 --> 00:14:35,613
[no audio]

234
00:14:38,094 --> 00:14:40,662
[horn honks]

235
00:14:44,013 --> 00:14:45,710
Fuck.

236
00:14:51,455 --> 00:14:53,414
Profe?

237
00:14:54,502 --> 00:14:57,592
Professor, you around?

238
00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:08,733
Hey, mira,brother man.

239
00:15:08,777 --> 00:15:11,301
You want to buy
a brand-new TV?
I just liberated it.

240
00:15:11,345 --> 00:15:14,304
$35, all right?
I got medical bills,
I gotta buy me a new liver.

241
00:15:14,348 --> 00:15:17,829
Tutu, you want to buy a TV?
It's brand-new.

242
00:15:17,873 --> 00:15:19,962
Shit. That thing
has a broken antenna.

243
00:15:20,006 --> 00:15:22,225
Ah, nah, look, Tutu,
it ain't broken.

244
00:15:22,269 --> 00:15:25,141
It's just a short one
so it don't get in the way
and shit like that. You dig?

245
00:15:27,883 --> 00:15:31,191
We need one
for the bathroom anyway.Hey, man, that's cool.

246
00:15:31,234 --> 00:15:33,889
That way you don't miss out
on the soap opera when
you're taking a shit.

247
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,499
That's funny, man.

248
00:15:35,543 --> 00:15:37,719
Why don't you talk that
foul fucking language
somewhere else?

249
00:15:37,762 --> 00:15:39,982
Yeah, like, be cool,
motherfucker.

250
00:15:54,214 --> 00:15:55,955
[softly]"The trouble
with our love is here.

251
00:15:55,998 --> 00:16:00,263
Our love is around..."
It's around...

252
00:16:00,307 --> 00:16:02,352
Maybe the next time
you break in,

253
00:16:02,396 --> 00:16:04,137
I should call the police.

254
00:16:06,443 --> 00:16:07,488
Maybe.

255
00:16:09,272 --> 00:16:12,667
Hi. I'm Sugar.

256
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:15,017
I'm Mikey's woman.

257
00:16:15,061 --> 00:16:19,108
I'm out here hustling for Mikey,
trying to make a living,

258
00:16:19,152 --> 00:16:22,720
doing the best that I can
for my man.

259
00:16:25,071 --> 00:16:26,289
Daddy hit me again.

260
00:16:26,333 --> 00:16:30,337
Ma, can you hear me?

261
00:16:30,380 --> 00:16:33,731
It's me, your baby.

262
00:16:33,775 --> 00:16:37,518
He was drunk.
I know, I know...

263
00:16:37,561 --> 00:16:39,520
He ain't my real dad.

264
00:16:39,563 --> 00:16:42,305
Every time you go to sleep,

265
00:16:42,349 --> 00:16:45,308
he comes into my room,

266
00:16:45,352 --> 00:16:46,875
and he sits on my bed,

267
00:16:46,918 --> 00:16:50,357
and he starts touching my leg.

268
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,447
He scares me
when he's like that.

269
00:16:53,490 --> 00:16:57,538
I know, I know.
The food. The landlord.

270
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,065
Where are you?

271
00:17:03,109 --> 00:17:06,329
You said you'd be around
if I needed you.

272
00:17:06,373 --> 00:17:08,940
And I need you, Ma.

273
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:17,514
Ma, they call me Tricky now,

274
00:17:17,558 --> 00:17:20,648
'cause I've turned
more tricks in one night

275
00:17:20,691 --> 00:17:23,303
than you turned in a lifetime.

276
00:17:28,482 --> 00:17:32,225
Ma, please help me.

277
00:17:32,268 --> 00:17:35,750
I'm tired of turning tricks.

278
00:17:35,793 --> 00:17:38,448
I want a kick.

279
00:17:38,492 --> 00:17:41,582
I want a fix.

280
00:17:41,625 --> 00:17:46,413
I want you to need me.

281
00:17:46,456 --> 00:17:49,155
I want you to need.

282
00:17:49,198 --> 00:17:54,812
I want you to need me.

283
00:17:59,556 --> 00:18:02,124
Cirrhosis.

284
00:18:02,168 --> 00:18:05,997
Sounds like a fucking flower,
doesn't it?

285
00:18:07,738 --> 00:18:10,132
I gotta draw up a will.

286
00:18:12,221 --> 00:18:15,181
So I figured, you know,
if we were married,

287
00:18:15,224 --> 00:18:18,488
you'd be the sole beneficiary
of my estate.

288
00:18:19,837 --> 00:18:22,013
State of what?

289
00:18:22,057 --> 00:18:24,233
State of mind?

290
00:18:24,277 --> 00:18:27,976
You want to reward me
by making me a widow?

291
00:18:28,019 --> 00:18:30,587
Believe it or not,
there are some benefits

292
00:18:30,631 --> 00:18:34,156
that come to you
by being married to me
that I want you to have.

293
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,637
You know what I mean?

294
00:18:50,041 --> 00:18:54,089
You think I like what I do?

295
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:55,830
It's acting.

296
00:18:55,873 --> 00:18:58,963
You always said
I couldn't act.Impossible.

297
00:18:59,007 --> 00:19:01,705
You're impossible.

298
00:19:01,749 --> 00:19:04,317
What am I gonna do
with you, huh?

299
00:19:07,189 --> 00:19:08,973
What are you talking about?

300
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,590
You know what I'm talking about.

301
00:19:16,633 --> 00:19:20,202
What if something
happens to you?

302
00:19:20,246 --> 00:19:23,205
I get scared, too, Mikey.

303
00:19:23,249 --> 00:19:26,208
Look... I understand
you don't want to marry me.

304
00:19:26,252 --> 00:19:30,604
I mean, I wouldn't, either.

305
00:19:30,647 --> 00:19:32,301
But...

306
00:20:02,244 --> 00:20:04,942
"April 6, 1988.

307
00:20:04,986 --> 00:20:07,815
You are hereby required to..."
Blah blah blah-de-blah.

308
00:20:07,858 --> 00:20:09,077
Shit.

309
00:20:10,818 --> 00:20:12,298
Battery's dead, man.What?

310
00:20:12,341 --> 00:20:15,736
You left the fucking radio on
all night. Shit.

311
00:20:15,779 --> 00:20:17,738
Dead battery?
What is this, an omen?

312
00:20:17,781 --> 00:20:20,697
Mikey, Mikey,
this ain't no omen.
This is my van, man.

313
00:20:20,741 --> 00:20:22,699
Look, if you gonna room
with me, Mikey,

314
00:20:22,743 --> 00:20:24,440
you gotta respect
my space, man.

315
00:20:24,484 --> 00:20:26,268
Shit.

316
00:20:26,312 --> 00:20:29,402
This motherfucker
ain't subsidized.

317
00:20:29,445 --> 00:20:33,275
Probably won't even
pass inspection now,
the way we going.

318
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:36,626
Neither will we.

319
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:38,411
How are you gonna have
Robert De Niro,

320
00:20:38,454 --> 00:20:40,369
Ralph Macchio and Burt Young
playing Puerto Ricans
in a new play?

321
00:20:40,413 --> 00:20:42,066
I don't wanna see that...

322
00:20:42,110 --> 00:20:44,678
Out. I don't want you
around here.

323
00:20:44,721 --> 00:20:46,984
Another Latino boom
is on the way, this time
with Italians playing us, bro.

324
00:20:47,028 --> 00:20:49,509
Out. Get over here.

325
00:20:49,552 --> 00:20:52,120
Come here.

326
00:20:52,163 --> 00:20:54,165
This is a public theater,
right?Yes, it is.

327
00:20:54,209 --> 00:20:56,124
I thought this was
the public theater.

328
00:20:56,167 --> 00:20:59,345
I'm part of the public, you see.
I don't need this shit, bro.

329
00:20:59,388 --> 00:21:02,261
Don't be treating me
like that, man.
I see how it is.

330
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:04,698
If you gotta see Rei,
you call him, but you do not
come by, you understand?

331
00:21:04,741 --> 00:21:07,178
You let me down
for the last time.

332
00:21:07,222 --> 00:21:11,008
Oh, so, what...
now you lost faith in me?Course not. I lost money.

333
00:21:11,052 --> 00:21:13,097
Look, Joe, I'm sorry,
but I wrote this shit.

334
00:21:13,141 --> 00:21:15,186
If you didn't like it,
that's not my problem.

335
00:21:15,230 --> 00:21:16,840
You wrote the shit?

336
00:21:16,884 --> 00:21:18,842
No, you wrote shit.
Nothing. Not a word.

337
00:21:18,886 --> 00:21:20,844
You've made me look bad.

338
00:21:20,888 --> 00:21:23,020
I'm your last friend.

339
00:21:23,064 --> 00:21:25,501
You remember? You said that.

340
00:21:25,545 --> 00:21:29,766
Well, it be's that way
sometimes, bro.

341
00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:33,596
Fuck you. Fuck you, man.

342
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,251
Fuck you. Fuck you, man.
Fuck you.

343
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:38,427
So what? Now you got Rei
up in there,

344
00:21:38,471 --> 00:21:41,952
fulfilling your quota
for "whore of the month"
Latino life, huh?

345
00:21:41,996 --> 00:21:44,781
I don't owe you shit.
I work for my commission,
motherfucker.

346
00:21:44,825 --> 00:21:46,914
Yeah.

347
00:21:49,090 --> 00:21:51,484
What happened to you, Miguel?

348
00:21:51,527 --> 00:21:53,486
Do you know?

349
00:21:53,529 --> 00:21:55,836
Do you know?

350
00:21:59,448 --> 00:22:01,363
Mikey. What's going on here?

351
00:22:01,407 --> 00:22:04,279
I love this man.

352
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:05,236
I know that.

353
00:22:15,377 --> 00:22:17,684
It's OK, bro.
Don't worry about it. Shit.

354
00:22:17,727 --> 00:22:19,468
Nobody ever plays fair

355
00:22:19,512 --> 00:22:21,557
when it comes to the heart
or the pocketbook.

356
00:22:21,601 --> 00:22:23,211
I've been there.

357
00:22:23,254 --> 00:22:26,562
No...Yes, yes, yes, yes.

358
00:22:26,606 --> 00:22:29,086
[Rei]I love you, Mikey,

359
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:31,088
but I got to agree
with Papp, you know?

360
00:22:31,132 --> 00:22:33,090
De Niro's
a box-office draw.

361
00:22:33,134 --> 00:22:36,442
I told Papp that I wanted you
to play my father,

362
00:22:36,485 --> 00:22:39,880
but... you know how it is.

363
00:22:39,923 --> 00:22:43,187
My man Bobby, he has clout.

364
00:22:43,231 --> 00:22:45,233
He fell in love with the part.

365
00:22:45,276 --> 00:22:48,105
Bobby? Oh, yeah. Bobby.

366
00:22:48,149 --> 00:22:50,281
You know I love you, Rei,
and all that shit, man,

367
00:22:50,325 --> 00:22:52,283
but sometimes you come across
like bad medicine.

368
00:22:52,327 --> 00:22:54,590
Like a fucking laxative.
You know what I mean?

369
00:22:54,634 --> 00:22:58,072
Hold me up.
Come on, hold me up. Shit.

370
00:22:58,115 --> 00:23:01,989
You are very talented, Rei.
Of course, with my talent...

371
00:23:02,032 --> 00:23:04,165
What the fuck's this story
about... whale hunting
offshore Korea?

372
00:23:04,208 --> 00:23:06,428
How you come up
with this foreign nonsense?

373
00:23:06,472 --> 00:23:09,431
You never seen
a fucking whale in your life,
and you ain't no Korean.

374
00:23:09,475 --> 00:23:12,173
You didn't have to do that.You wanted me
to teach you, right?

375
00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:14,523
Yeah, but not like this.

376
00:23:14,567 --> 00:23:17,787
I'm not one of your little boys
you just throw in the water,
make me learn how to swim.

377
00:23:17,831 --> 00:23:20,181
Well, it be's that way
sometimes, bro.

378
00:23:20,224 --> 00:23:23,227
You trying to fuck with me?
Fuck you, man.

379
00:23:23,271 --> 00:23:25,795
So, what, now you gonna
hit me with the chair?

380
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:29,016
You better hit me hard,
because if you lay me out
and I get back up,

381
00:23:29,059 --> 00:23:32,236
I'm gonna throw your ass
off this fucking roof.
Write about that.

382
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,456
You know, write about
what you know, all right?
Write about that.

383
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,763
Write about your mother,
your father.

384
00:23:36,806 --> 00:23:38,591
You got 20 stories floating
around inside your stomach.
Spit 'em out.

385
00:23:38,634 --> 00:23:41,420
And how am I just supposed
to spit 'em out, right?

386
00:23:41,463 --> 00:23:44,466
Well, sweetie, I'm not
gonna stick my finger
down your throat

387
00:23:44,510 --> 00:23:46,381
so you can puke.

388
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:48,644
And by the way...

389
00:23:48,688 --> 00:23:50,820
Go buy yourself
a Smith Corona Electric,

390
00:23:50,864 --> 00:23:52,779
'cause I can't read
your writing.

391
00:23:52,822 --> 00:23:54,781
Take it.

392
00:23:54,824 --> 00:23:58,480
Now sit down.
Smoke a joint.

393
00:23:58,524 --> 00:24:01,265
So I gave you my ass.

394
00:24:01,309 --> 00:24:03,659
What else you want, papi?

395
00:24:03,703 --> 00:24:07,141
Hmm? You want to grade
my fucking work?

396
00:24:07,184 --> 00:24:08,882
OK.

397
00:24:10,971 --> 00:24:13,582
You're God.

398
00:24:13,626 --> 00:24:14,888
But...

399
00:24:14,931 --> 00:24:17,064
Oh, man, what's going on?

400
00:24:17,107 --> 00:24:19,762
Because one day,
you're happy, you know,
you're proud of me.

401
00:24:19,806 --> 00:24:22,417
Now you're, uh...

402
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:25,333
You know, you're in a rage

403
00:24:25,376 --> 00:24:28,554
'cause I'm doing good.

404
00:24:30,730 --> 00:24:32,079
Excuse me.I'm not me.

405
00:24:32,122 --> 00:24:34,124
Excuse me.

406

407

Sentence passed,
if you catch my drift.

408
00:24:38,259 --> 00:24:40,435
Oh, you look familiar.
Which one are you today?

409
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:42,045
Actually, that's why I came.

410
00:24:42,089 --> 00:24:44,047
Come on, I got
a residual check from Kojak.

411
00:24:44,091 --> 00:24:46,093
They're running the show
in Africa.

412
00:24:46,136 --> 00:24:49,052
I'm sorry, all right?
It was just a case
of nerves, Profe. Here.

413
00:24:49,096 --> 00:24:51,054
Come on. It's not like
I'm gonna be around forever.

414
00:24:51,098 --> 00:24:53,361
You fucking button-pushing,
manipulating ingrate

415

whose latest heartfelt con
is your death,

416
00:24:56,451 --> 00:24:59,149
because, after all, you're
the only fucking person
dying in this world,

417
00:24:59,193 --> 00:25:01,456
because death was designed
just for you, right?

418
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,372
No, Daddy!
I don't want to die, Daddy!

419
00:25:04,415 --> 00:25:07,288
Shit. I should take
that bouncing check

420
00:25:07,331 --> 00:25:09,246
and welcome you
back into my home,
so that in the eventuality

421
00:25:09,290 --> 00:25:11,727
that I accidentally
shove a finger up your ass,

422
00:25:11,771 --> 00:25:14,164
you might squeeze
my mother's wedding band,

423
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:16,689
which I am wearing,
out of it, right?

424
00:25:16,732 --> 00:25:18,865
Look, bandito,
this shit has to stop.

425
00:25:18,908 --> 00:25:20,910
Anybody can be a poet
the way you live.

426
00:25:20,954 --> 00:25:23,609
Fuck it!
I could write like you
if I didn't have to worry

427
00:25:23,652 --> 00:25:25,828
about working and sleeping
or paying the rent.

428
00:25:25,872 --> 00:25:27,830
I know, I know, Profe.
I know, and I'm sorry.

429
00:25:27,874 --> 00:25:31,486
I do abuse you of your kindness
and humanity and shit.

That's the word, Miguel.Put that shit away.

Look, I want to read
to you how I...Tito.

how I figured out
that last act for

heard it.

436
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:54,422
All right, then, I'll leave.
You know? I'll just leave.

437
00:25:54,465 --> 00:25:57,425
Leave? Where the fuck
are you gonna go
at 4:00 in the morning

where you won't get arrested

439
00:25:59,470 --> 00:26:03,039
for carrying around
a stolen-from-me
Smith Corona?

440
00:26:14,137 --> 00:26:16,879
I got an idea.

441
00:26:16,923 --> 00:26:19,926
Now, I will rent this place

442
00:26:19,969 --> 00:26:24,408
not for your benefit
but for mine,

443
00:26:24,452 --> 00:26:27,629
so I can sleep,
so I can keep my job,

444
00:26:27,673 --> 00:26:31,807
so I can preserve my sanity
and write like you.

Twice, huh?

516
00:30:43,493 --> 00:30:44,538
Yeah.

517
00:30:52,241 --> 00:30:55,418
I guess it's true
what they say about jail.

518
00:30:55,462 --> 00:30:59,683
What's with you?
Little boys?

519
00:31:04,950 --> 00:31:07,561
Shit, I'd like to watch.

520
00:31:12,609 --> 00:31:15,874
Hey, wha-what's
the matter? Huh?

521
00:31:15,917 --> 00:31:17,266
[turns music off]

522
00:31:17,310 --> 00:31:19,051
Oh, man,
I was just kidding...

523
00:31:19,094 --> 00:31:21,270
Look, why the fuck
you come here for?

524
00:31:21,314 --> 00:31:24,012
Between insulting me
and getting yourself
worked up to be near me,

525
00:31:24,056 --> 00:31:25,405
you lost me.

526
00:31:25,448 --> 00:31:27,755
I thought that...

527
00:31:27,798 --> 00:31:29,975
Oh, forget it.
Just get out of here.Come on, Mikey...

528
00:31:30,018 --> 00:31:32,020
Just get the fuck
out of here.I'm sorry, OK?

529
00:31:32,064 --> 00:31:34,588
Get out of here!I'm just nervous.

530
00:31:35,981 --> 00:31:38,940
I'm sorry, Mikey.

531
00:31:40,376 --> 00:31:42,030
I didn't mean it.

532
00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:46,905
You know how long
I've been waiting for this?

533
00:31:49,777 --> 00:31:53,955
You like me so much
it makes me nervous.

534
00:31:53,999 --> 00:31:56,740
Since the first time
I saw you in the projects,

535
00:31:56,784 --> 00:32:00,222
and the rest
of how all that shit goes...

536
00:32:00,266 --> 00:32:04,792
I knew you, Mikey.

537
00:32:07,012 --> 00:32:11,233
You had no father.
I had too much of one.

538
00:32:11,277 --> 00:32:13,496
I said to myself...

539
00:32:13,540 --> 00:32:17,239
"Between me and him...
we'll make one happy child."

540
00:32:17,283 --> 00:32:18,588
[mumbles]

541
00:32:18,632 --> 00:32:22,288
Everyone's a fucking poet
tonight, huh?

542
00:32:22,331 --> 00:32:23,898
Maybe.

543
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:26,118
And I'll suck your cock
like a fucking poem,

544
00:32:26,161 --> 00:32:28,772
whatever that makes me.

545
00:32:28,816 --> 00:32:32,733
Whatever you want, Mikey,
I'll do it.

546
00:32:32,776 --> 00:32:35,605
I'm your whore.

547
00:33:01,109 --> 00:33:04,634
He comes into my room

548
00:33:04,678 --> 00:33:07,420
and he sits on my bed.

549
00:33:07,463 --> 00:33:09,900
He scares me
when he's like that,

550
00:33:09,944 --> 00:33:12,816
his hands touching me...

551
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:20,389
...getting all hard
and fast and hot,

552
00:33:20,433 --> 00:33:23,001
his spit falling
all over me.

553
00:33:23,044 --> 00:33:24,393
Mikey?

554
00:33:24,437 --> 00:33:26,134
Get out of here!You get out.

555
00:33:26,178 --> 00:33:27,744
Get the fuck out of here!

556
00:33:31,705 --> 00:33:35,448
The last time you had a job,
you were hired at 9:00
in the morning.

557
00:33:35,491 --> 00:33:36,840
By 11 you were fired.

558
00:33:36,884 --> 00:33:38,668
That was two years ago.

559
00:33:38,712 --> 00:33:41,497
So, what, are you
a detective now?

560
00:33:41,541 --> 00:33:44,065
Worse. I'm your mother.

561
00:33:44,109 --> 00:33:47,025
You just got out of jail,
now you're back inside.

562
00:33:47,068 --> 00:33:49,505
Mikey...

563
00:33:49,549 --> 00:33:53,074
didn't you learn anything good
the first time?

564
00:33:53,118 --> 00:33:56,338
You mean, besides acquiring
my first drug habit?

565
00:33:56,382 --> 00:33:58,253
Don't talk to me like that.

566
00:33:58,297 --> 00:34:00,081
It's just that...

567
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:02,083
[sighs]

568
00:34:02,127 --> 00:34:07,523
I am tired of visiting my son
behind bars.

569
00:34:07,567 --> 00:34:11,788
It's the only time
we... we get to talk.

570
00:34:11,832 --> 00:34:15,531
I mean, what happened
to that son I used to have?

571
00:34:15,575 --> 00:34:18,752
The little boy
who would bring me flowers?

572
00:34:18,795 --> 00:34:22,103
Who would write poems for me?

573
00:34:22,147 --> 00:34:24,105
I think, in your mind,

574
00:34:24,149 --> 00:34:27,500
our life had been like...
like Leave It to Beaver,

575
00:34:27,543 --> 00:34:30,285
but in my mind,
it was... it was different.

576
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:34,550
I'm sorry.

577
00:34:34,594 --> 00:34:37,466
You know, I'm sorry
for my antisocial behavior.

578
00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:39,642
It's not a choice.

579
00:34:46,519 --> 00:34:49,435
What do you want me to do?

580
00:34:52,742 --> 00:34:56,311
Make me proud before I go.

581
00:34:56,355 --> 00:34:59,227
What are you,
in a hurry today?

582
00:34:59,271 --> 00:35:00,968
No.

583
00:35:15,983 --> 00:35:18,638
You're talking with your eyes.

584
00:35:20,683 --> 00:35:23,730
OK.

585
00:35:23,773 --> 00:35:26,385
OK, mami.

586
00:35:26,428 --> 00:35:28,648
I'll make you proud.

587
00:35:28,691 --> 00:35:31,085
I'll make you proud
of me, you'll see.

588
00:35:31,129 --> 00:35:32,782
You'll see.

589
00:35:32,826 --> 00:35:34,871
I'll make you proud of me.

590
00:35:51,671 --> 00:35:58,112
I... I got this picture
of Jane Fonda,

591
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:02,290
so I would really stretch out,

592
00:36:02,334 --> 00:36:04,727
doing up my wood.

593
00:36:04,771 --> 00:36:07,208
No, no, no, man.
Say it natural.

594
00:36:07,252 --> 00:36:09,210
Not like a minister.

595
00:36:09,254 --> 00:36:13,475
Say it like you,
like-like here,
like... like Edgar.

596
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:16,348
Don't try to sound
all like Corinthian
Ricardo Montalban Cordoba dude.

597
00:36:16,391 --> 00:36:18,350
You know? Give me you,
the life, Harlem.

598
00:36:18,393 --> 00:36:20,352
Talk like you talk, you know?

599
00:36:20,395 --> 00:36:22,745
Like, be all the nigger
that you are.

600
00:36:24,704 --> 00:36:26,096
Did you say "nigger"?

601
00:36:30,927 --> 00:36:32,538
Nigger?

602
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:49,511
Wesson Oil
never had it so good.

603
00:36:49,555 --> 00:36:53,602
You see, I got this picture
of Jane Fonda.

604
00:36:53,646 --> 00:36:58,738
She got this
black silk satin bikini.

605
00:36:58,781 --> 00:37:00,479
Yeah, you dig?

606
00:37:00,522 --> 00:37:03,003
So I strips naked,
right, and I...

607
00:37:03,046 --> 00:37:07,355
and I starts to roll and roll.

608
00:37:07,399 --> 00:37:12,055
I mean, I am whipping
my johnson ronson
to the bone, boy.

609
00:37:12,099 --> 00:37:14,188
Ooh, yeah.

610
00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:17,235
Soon... ohh,

611
00:37:17,278 --> 00:37:20,803
everybody on the tier
knew that I was working out.

612
00:37:20,847 --> 00:37:22,631
[laughs]

613
00:37:22,675 --> 00:37:26,026
'Cause soon, everybody's voice
was with me.

614
00:37:26,069 --> 00:37:29,377
I... I starts...
I starts callin' out her name,

615
00:37:29,421 --> 00:37:32,293
real soft, you know?

616
00:37:32,337 --> 00:37:35,383
Janey.

617
00:37:35,427 --> 00:37:37,777
Ooh. Ahh.

618
00:37:37,820 --> 00:37:42,651
Janey, baby...

619
00:37:42,695 --> 00:37:46,176
Oh, get it, Janey, oh,
just a little louder, babe.

620
00:37:46,220 --> 00:37:48,744
Ooh, faster.

621
00:37:48,788 --> 00:37:53,923
I scream, "Ow!"
My knees buckle. Uhh...

622
00:37:53,967 --> 00:37:56,099
Oh, Janey, baby.

623
00:37:56,143 --> 00:37:57,231
Get it, baby.

624
00:37:57,275 --> 00:37:59,189
Get it. Get it, get it,
get it, get it.

625
00:37:59,233 --> 00:38:07,589
Get it.
Oh, Janey! Uh...

626
00:38:07,633 --> 00:38:10,418
Ahh. [chuckles]

627
00:38:10,462 --> 00:38:13,247
Now, that's Black Power.

628
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:14,292
[laughter and applause]

629
00:38:14,335 --> 00:38:17,033
That's it!
That's how we do it.

630
00:38:17,077 --> 00:38:21,516
Now you an actor.
You ain't Bowser anymore,
44756 armed robbery, man.

631
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,518
No, man. Not while you acting.

632
00:38:23,562 --> 00:38:28,393
You Ice, leading man
in Short Eyes!

633
00:38:28,436 --> 00:38:30,569
[♪ "Diente De Oro,"
Orlando Puntillarios Ríos]

634
00:38:48,413 --> 00:38:50,371
Well, when you're in prison,

635
00:38:50,415 --> 00:38:52,373
you're nowhere being nobody,
you're a number.

636
00:38:52,417 --> 00:38:55,115
You know? So when I started
writing my poetry and acting,

637
00:38:55,158 --> 00:38:57,204
I felt like somebody
in a land of nothing.

638
00:38:57,247 --> 00:39:00,163
I never felt so alive,
I never had so much energy.

639
00:39:00,207 --> 00:39:01,904
I'd go back to my cell,
I'd create something.

640
00:39:05,691 --> 00:39:09,521
I spoke to this
movie director this afternoon

641
00:39:09,564 --> 00:39:12,437
who's very much interested
in making a film
of Short Eyes.

642
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,788
I mean, there's Lumet,
there's-there's Pacino,
and...

643
00:39:15,831 --> 00:39:18,181
I mean, basically everybody
in this town, they love you,

644
00:39:18,225 --> 00:39:22,229
and I can get you
the best possible deal.

645
00:39:22,272 --> 00:39:24,405
Uh, Rob?Yes?

646
00:39:24,449 --> 00:39:26,146
Rob, is it?Yeah.

647
00:39:26,189 --> 00:39:28,670
So, you want to be my pimp?

648
00:39:28,714 --> 00:39:30,890
Is that it?
You want to pimp me out?

649
00:39:30,933 --> 00:39:32,892
Yes. Yes, very much so.

650
00:39:32,935 --> 00:39:35,721
I would...
I would love that.

651
00:39:37,853 --> 00:39:40,116
[woman]Well,
you must be feeling

652
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,075
really good tonight,Mr. Piñero.

653
00:39:42,118 --> 00:39:45,383
Your play Short Eyes
created a lot of controversy,
a lot of opposition,

654
00:39:45,426 --> 00:39:47,385
and still you won
six nominations.

655
00:39:47,428 --> 00:39:50,388
It's the first time
a Puerto Rican playwright
cleans up at the Tonys.

656
00:39:50,431 --> 00:39:52,564
Cleans up? At the Tonys, yes,

657
00:39:52,607 --> 00:39:54,957
but we have been cleaning up
and down in this town

658
00:39:55,001 --> 00:39:56,785
since the Marine Tigerdocked.

659
00:39:56,829 --> 00:40:00,485
You know, in your offices,
your restaurants,
the fine hotels.

660
00:40:00,528 --> 00:40:02,661
Later on, we were cleaned up
in Korea, then Vietnam.

661
00:40:02,704 --> 00:40:04,358
But when it came
to the writing,

662
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:06,795
we'd go chisel the motherfucker
straight out of beer cans,

663
00:40:06,839 --> 00:40:10,103
from the tar and the concrete
of the city and the roofs
of the city.

664
00:40:10,146 --> 00:40:12,061
You know, the metaphors
would flow from there.

665
00:40:12,105 --> 00:40:14,716
But check it out.
No windows tonight.

666
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,675
This is our time.

667
00:40:20,113 --> 00:40:23,508
It's not like we go
into the homes of the rich

668
00:40:23,551 --> 00:40:26,380
and we walk out
with a silver ashtray.

669
00:40:26,424 --> 00:40:30,340
No, we go in and we walk out
with something better...
their attention.

670
00:40:30,384 --> 00:40:32,168
We take them to a world
they used to fear,

671
00:40:32,212 --> 00:40:34,519
and we tell them,
"Hey, it's cool."

672
00:40:34,562 --> 00:40:36,521
"We used to
fear you, too, man."

673
00:41:03,373 --> 00:41:05,158
[laughs]

674
00:41:05,201 --> 00:41:07,029
This is our time.

675
00:41:09,728 --> 00:41:12,513
Yeah.

676
00:41:12,557 --> 00:41:14,689
Hey, check this out.

677
00:41:14,733 --> 00:41:16,735
I know this is gonna be

678
00:41:16,778 --> 00:41:18,737
kind of sappy
and out of character,

679
00:41:18,780 --> 00:41:20,956
but with you I can be sappy
and out of character.

680
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,393
Yeah, right.
You must think of me

681
00:41:23,437 --> 00:41:27,485
like some kind of
senile grandmother
or something.

682
00:41:27,528 --> 00:41:29,748
But you gotta promise me
one thing, Profe.

683
00:41:29,791 --> 00:41:32,533
That by tomorrow night,

684
00:41:32,577 --> 00:41:34,796
you'll come back to me

685
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,842
with a poem
that lays out, in detail,

686
00:41:36,885 --> 00:41:41,411
what's to be done
in case you or I die.

1204
01:12:13,459 --> 01:12:14,852
Hundred dollars
for the pair.

1205
01:12:14,895 --> 01:12:17,289
Big, big opening night tonight,
ladies and gentlemen.

1206
01:12:17,333 --> 01:12:20,248
Cuba and His Teddy Bear.

1207
01:12:20,292 --> 01:12:22,120
I swear, it's
Cuba and His Teddy Bear.

1208
01:12:22,163 --> 01:12:23,295
How about you, brother?

1209
01:12:23,339 --> 01:12:24,688
[man]No, thanks.

1210
01:12:24,731 --> 01:12:26,864
You got your tickets?
All right, be cool, be cool.

1211
01:12:28,648 --> 01:12:29,693
Good evening.

1212
01:12:29,736 --> 01:12:33,131
My name is Joseph Papp.

1213
01:12:39,790 --> 01:12:42,880
Our playwright tonight
belongs to a tradition,

1214
01:12:42,923 --> 01:12:45,230
a tradition of artists

1215
01:12:45,273 --> 01:12:48,799
whose devious
and renegade lives

1216
01:12:48,842 --> 01:12:53,238
paradoxically result...

1217
01:12:53,281 --> 01:12:56,807
in the most painstaking
devotion to the truth

1218
01:12:56,850 --> 01:13:00,201
and to the rigor
of their craft.

1219
01:13:01,551 --> 01:13:04,205
Cuba and His Teddy Bear?

1220
01:13:04,249 --> 01:13:05,772
No, this is
getting better.

1221
01:13:05,816 --> 01:13:08,862
You never know, man.
One day, you might
be as good as me.

1222
01:13:08,906 --> 01:13:10,386
That day
is today, baby.

1223
01:13:12,779 --> 01:13:16,914
If the life of our author
seems elusive and troubling,

1224
01:13:16,957 --> 01:13:22,223
one can only applaud
what is so candidly engaged
here by his art,

1225
01:13:22,267 --> 01:13:24,574
where nothing is stolen
or borrowed,

1226
01:13:24,617 --> 01:13:29,492
and a great deal is revealed.

1227
01:13:29,535 --> 01:13:30,536
[Piñero]Hi.

1228
01:13:33,191 --> 01:13:35,280
I really want to thank you
for your welcome

1229
01:13:35,323 --> 01:13:37,717
and say thank you
to you, Joe, you know?

1230
01:13:37,761 --> 01:13:39,545
How you doing this evening?

1231
01:13:39,589 --> 01:13:43,680
Look, it's like everything
he said is true, you know,

1232
01:13:43,723 --> 01:13:44,985
and, uh...

1233
01:13:45,029 --> 01:13:48,946
In this sense,
our playwright
is as blessed

1234
01:13:48,989 --> 01:13:52,863
and as straight a writer
as they come.

1235
01:13:52,906 --> 01:13:55,169
Please welcome...

1236
01:13:57,215 --> 01:13:59,086
...Mr. Miguel Piñero.

1237
01:14:07,007 --> 01:14:08,531
[Piñero] Dig it.

1238
01:14:16,190 --> 01:14:17,801
Ha-ha. It's
a great opportunity.

1239
01:14:17,844 --> 01:14:19,411
Did you see it
when I did it
with Marty?

1240
01:14:19,455 --> 01:14:21,108
Hey, where you been?

1241
01:14:21,152 --> 01:14:23,459
I been taking in
the scenery, you know.

1242
01:14:23,502 --> 01:14:27,854
Look, look, please,
please, don't make a scene.
This is his night.

1243
01:14:27,898 --> 01:14:29,508
Come on, it's his night.

1244
01:14:33,251 --> 01:14:35,122
[Papp laughs]

1245
01:15:10,244 --> 01:15:12,725
[man]Mr. Povod?

1246
01:15:15,467 --> 01:15:17,295
Yeah, that's my name.

1247
01:15:17,338 --> 01:15:20,472
Ask me again,
I'll tell you the same.

1248
01:15:20,516 --> 01:15:22,692
Here you go.How you doing, brother?

1249
01:15:22,735 --> 01:15:24,781
Good, good. How are you?All right, all right,
all right.

1250
01:15:24,824 --> 01:15:27,348
Where to?

1251
01:15:29,655 --> 01:15:33,050
Baby, you remember
the first time we came here,
I sang you a song?

1252
01:15:33,093 --> 01:15:35,008
Remember that?

1253
01:15:35,052 --> 01:15:36,880
I remember
you fell in the river.

1254
01:15:36,923 --> 01:15:38,621
Ha. Oh, that reminds me.

1255
01:15:38,664 --> 01:15:42,625
I wrote something for you
last night.

1256
01:15:42,668 --> 01:15:44,583
You did?

1257
01:15:44,627 --> 01:15:47,760
Yeah. First time
I write in months.
You want to hear it?

1258
01:15:47,804 --> 01:15:49,240
Do I have a choice?

1259
01:15:49,283 --> 01:15:53,418
'Course not. All right,
check this out.

1260
01:15:53,461 --> 01:15:55,420
Ahem.

1261
01:16:01,339 --> 01:16:04,255
"There are things
that never change,

1262
01:16:04,298 --> 01:16:07,214
"and we are not one of them,
I fear.

1263
01:16:07,258 --> 01:16:10,043
"The trouble with our love
is here.

1264
01:16:10,087 --> 01:16:12,611
"The trouble with our love
is around,

1265
01:16:12,655 --> 01:16:15,919
"when you cannot
look me in the eye and lie,

1266
01:16:15,962 --> 01:16:18,748
"when you run so far away

1267
01:16:18,791 --> 01:16:21,664
"that you forget
where to go back to.

1268
01:16:21,707 --> 01:16:24,710
"Now you are what you
never wanted to be.

1269
01:16:24,754 --> 01:16:27,321
"Go ahead, blame me.

1270
01:16:27,365 --> 01:16:29,062
"There are things
that'll never change.

1271
01:16:29,106 --> 01:16:32,152
"Now, we're two strangers
with a past

1272
01:16:32,196 --> 01:16:33,850
"and a future

1273
01:16:33,893 --> 01:16:36,113
"that ain't gonna last.

1274
01:16:36,156 --> 01:16:39,595
And that is the trouble
with our love."

1275
01:16:39,638 --> 01:16:43,773
Last night, we saw things
like we never did.

1276
01:16:43,816 --> 01:16:46,166
We both went our way

1277
01:16:46,210 --> 01:16:47,603
and hid.

1278
01:16:52,695 --> 01:16:54,348
You like it?

1279
01:16:54,392 --> 01:16:56,742
Are you finished?

1280
01:16:56,786 --> 01:17:00,006
Yeah. What do you think?

1281
01:17:00,050 --> 01:17:03,923
You want to know what I think?

1282
01:17:03,967 --> 01:17:06,665
Do you want to know
what I really think?

1283
01:17:06,709 --> 01:17:10,147
I've been hanging in there
all this time for this?

1284
01:17:10,190 --> 01:17:11,888
A poem?

1285
01:17:15,413 --> 01:17:18,503
What do you see
when you look at me? Hmm?

1286
01:17:18,546 --> 01:17:20,461
What do you see?

1287
01:17:24,901 --> 01:17:26,859
I'm a real person.

1288
01:17:26,903 --> 01:17:29,166
I'm a real person
that loves you.

1289
01:17:34,780 --> 01:17:36,826
You know, Miguel...

1290
01:17:38,610 --> 01:17:42,701
I really wish
you would have married me,

1291
01:17:42,745 --> 01:17:44,398
made me happy.

1292
01:17:46,139 --> 01:17:49,577
Had a real life
instead of all this jive shit.

1293
01:17:51,754 --> 01:17:54,757
Could've had your baby.

1294
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,976
Be just a little normal.

1295
01:17:59,370 --> 01:18:01,981
I ain't dead yet, you know?

1296
01:18:24,961 --> 01:18:27,398
Where... Where's my van?
Where's my van?

1297
01:18:27,441 --> 01:18:29,443
What happened? Where's my van?

1298
01:18:29,487 --> 01:18:30,836
Ay, Mikey.

1299
01:18:33,883 --> 01:18:35,319
They tow it away.

1300
01:18:37,408 --> 01:18:39,453
I'm sorry, Mikey.

1301
01:18:39,497 --> 01:18:41,412
I saw it
through the window.

1302
01:18:43,936 --> 01:18:46,156
Let me explain it to you.

1303
01:18:46,199 --> 01:18:49,028
I don't have the paper
because it's not my car.
It's my friend's.

1304
01:18:49,072 --> 01:18:51,030
Does your friend
have the registration?

1305
01:18:51,074 --> 01:18:53,990
Well, you see,
it's not that simple, sir.

1306
01:18:54,033 --> 01:18:56,993
[officer]Jesus!

1307
01:18:57,036 --> 01:18:58,995
Did he OD
or something?

1308
01:18:59,038 --> 01:19:00,779
No, no. He was sick.

1309
01:19:00,823 --> 01:19:03,086
We gotta
get the coroner.

1310
01:19:12,660 --> 01:19:14,184
Mikey, come on.

1311
01:19:16,621 --> 01:19:20,233
[Piñero]Doctor says
my body doesn't want
to cooperate, you know?

1312
01:19:20,277 --> 01:19:22,453
Doctors are always wrong.

1313
01:19:22,496 --> 01:19:25,499
I mean, who knows when
it's really your time to go?

1314
01:19:25,543 --> 01:19:28,894
Look at me with this
HIV shit. Fuck 'em.

1315
01:19:28,938 --> 01:19:31,157
You go when you're ready.

1316
01:19:31,201 --> 01:19:33,856
So you better sit your ass down
and eat some cuchifrito,

1317
01:19:33,899 --> 01:19:36,815
'cause this shit is ready.

1318
01:19:36,859 --> 01:19:40,819
And if this doesn't
kill you tonight,
nothing will.

1319
01:19:40,863 --> 01:19:43,604
Hey, Profe.
You got a clean shirt
I could borrow?

1320
01:19:43,648 --> 01:19:45,171
'Course I do.

1321
01:19:49,523 --> 01:19:52,700
What? What?

1322
01:19:52,744 --> 01:19:56,530
I love you, Profe. You know?
No matter what, I love you.

1323
01:19:59,229 --> 01:20:01,318
We're the only ones
left, baby.

1324
01:20:01,361 --> 01:20:03,102
Mikey.

1325
01:20:03,146 --> 01:20:05,757
Come on. You're making me wet.

1326
01:20:05,801 --> 01:20:10,849
OK, OK. It smells good,
you know? It smells good.

1327
01:20:10,893 --> 01:20:14,548
[Piñero]Reality wasn't
giving me no play, tu sabes?

1328
01:20:14,592 --> 01:20:16,507
When my ashtray

1329
01:20:16,550 --> 01:20:19,858
became the cemetery
of all my lost memories...

1330
01:20:19,902 --> 01:20:23,644
I wonder who wrote that tune
about bein' back on top in June.

1331
01:20:23,688 --> 01:20:26,212
Nigger forgot about
September and December.

1332
01:20:26,256 --> 01:20:28,998
Now, that is a month
to remember.

1333
01:20:29,041 --> 01:20:32,479
Well, I'm going nowhere.

1334
01:20:32,523 --> 01:20:35,004
Got nowhere to go.

1335
01:20:35,047 --> 01:20:39,182
Going nowhere fast.

1336
01:20:39,225 --> 01:20:41,967
But Sunday morning
in New York City,

1337
01:20:42,011 --> 01:20:44,796
for the junkie,
there ain't no pity.

1338
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:47,364
When walkin' down the street
with loaded dice,

1339
01:20:47,407 --> 01:20:52,673
you hear the people say,
"Hey, there goes Mikey.

1340
01:20:52,717 --> 01:20:56,721
"Mike Piñero.

1341
01:20:56,764 --> 01:20:58,810
The junkie Christ."

1342
01:21:11,170 --> 01:21:14,565
Buy me another drink, baby.

1343
01:21:14,608 --> 01:21:15,696
But Tito...

1344
01:21:18,786 --> 01:21:21,746
And they came from
out of nowhere, man.
Boom! Boom! Boom!

1345
01:21:21,789 --> 01:21:24,444
Blasting them .38s our way.

1346
01:21:24,488 --> 01:21:28,318
I was in the car outside
the cash-your-checks joint,
and he came out shooting...

1347
01:21:28,361 --> 01:21:30,798
[woman]He? Who's he?

1348
01:21:38,371 --> 01:21:40,112
Anyways, they ran, right?

1349
01:21:40,156 --> 01:21:42,549
They ran their
motherfucking asses off.

1350
01:21:42,593 --> 01:21:47,511
And those that didn't
just laid down and played dead.

1351
01:21:47,554 --> 01:21:50,470
He was badder
than all of them, man.

1352
01:21:50,514 --> 01:21:52,777
I mean, like... it was like...

1353
01:21:52,820 --> 01:21:55,780
He was Satan in heaven, right?

1354
01:21:55,823 --> 01:21:59,740
Fighting God for
a piece of the action, man.

1355
01:21:59,784 --> 01:22:01,264
That was Tito Goya.

1356
01:22:03,962 --> 01:22:06,573
A long way from Ponce, man.

1357
01:22:06,617 --> 01:22:10,012
Fucking kid's in jail
somewhere in fucking Texas.

1358
01:22:10,055 --> 01:22:12,231
I thought you said

1359
01:22:12,275 --> 01:22:15,931
he was crushed by an icebox
or something.

1360
01:22:34,950 --> 01:22:37,343
Uh, I gotta sit down.

1361
01:22:39,998 --> 01:22:41,521
[coughs]

1362
01:22:41,565 --> 01:22:43,001
Hey.

1363
01:22:49,268 --> 01:22:52,315
Julio, you call 911.
I'll take care of him.

1364
01:22:59,844 --> 01:23:01,715
He's OK.

1365
01:23:06,633 --> 01:23:12,857
[♪ men singing in Spanish]

1366
01:23:24,521 --> 01:23:27,132
Well, I never wanted
to be anybody,

1367
01:23:27,176 --> 01:23:28,829
but a guy once said to me,
"You could write,

1368
01:23:28,873 --> 01:23:31,310
and writing will
get you out of jail."

1369
01:23:31,354 --> 01:23:33,747
And it did and it didn't,
'cause I had to keep doing bad
to keep the writing good.

1370
01:23:33,791 --> 01:23:36,359
'Cause I sell trouble.

1371
01:23:36,402 --> 01:23:41,016
I'd go down, bring up
a sponge, another fish,
another pearl, maybe,

1372
01:23:41,059 --> 01:23:43,061
but after you make that dive
one too many times,

1373
01:23:43,105 --> 01:23:45,281
your ears get shot,
your eyes go blurry,

1374
01:23:45,324 --> 01:23:48,545
then, one day, you
finally come to the surface,
and you say, "You know what?

1375
01:23:48,588 --> 01:23:50,982
I like it
better down there."

1376
01:24:01,166 --> 01:24:04,213
Relax, Mikey.
I'm right here.

1377
01:24:08,826 --> 01:24:10,262
OK.

1378
01:24:12,221 --> 01:24:14,484
You know what to do
if I should go.

1379
01:24:16,747 --> 01:24:18,314
You remember the poem?

1380
01:24:18,357 --> 01:24:20,533
Yeah.

1381
01:24:20,577 --> 01:24:23,754
I remember. Don't worry.

1382
01:24:28,715 --> 01:24:33,416
I want music and wine

1383
01:24:33,459 --> 01:24:36,245
and poets prepared to read,

1384
01:24:36,288 --> 01:24:39,596
to testify, OK?

1386
01:24:46,820 --> 01:24:49,084
Relax. You got
a lot of work to do.

[♪ vocal improvisation]

1388
01:25:12,194 --> 01:25:16,154
Just once before I die,

1389
01:25:16,198 --> 01:25:18,722
I want to climb up
on the tenement sky,

1390
01:25:18,765 --> 01:25:22,029
to dream my lungs out
till I cry,

1391
01:25:22,073 --> 01:25:25,555
then scatter my ashes
through the Lower East Side...

1392
01:25:25,598 --> 01:25:28,035
So let me
sing my song tonight,

1393
01:25:28,079 --> 01:25:30,473
let me feel out of sight...

1394
01:25:30,516 --> 01:25:32,779
And let all eyes be dry

1395
01:25:32,823 --> 01:25:36,261
when they scatter my ashes
through the Lower East Side...

1396
01:25:36,305 --> 01:25:38,307
From Houston
to 14th Street,

1397
01:25:38,350 --> 01:25:40,613
from Second Avenue
to the mighty "D."

1398
01:25:40,657 --> 01:25:44,617
Here, the hustlers and suckers
meet the faggots and freaks.

1399
01:25:44,661 --> 01:25:49,013
We'll all get high on the ashes
that have been scattered

1400
01:25:49,056 --> 01:25:52,147
through the Lower East Side.

[♪ vocal improvisation]

1402
01:25:59,066 --> 01:26:01,068
There's no other place
for me to be.

1403
01:26:01,112 --> 01:26:03,549
There's no other place
that I can see.

1404
01:26:03,593 --> 01:26:06,813
There's no other town around
that brings you up
or keeps you down.

1405
01:26:06,857 --> 01:26:09,860
A thief, a junkie I've been.

1406
01:26:09,903 --> 01:26:12,210
Committed every known sin.

1407
01:26:12,254 --> 01:26:15,213
Jew and Gentiles,
bums and men of style.

1408
01:26:15,257 --> 01:26:17,650
Runaway child,
police shooting wild.

1409
01:26:17,694 --> 01:26:20,479
Mothers' futile wails,
pushers making sales.

1410
01:26:20,523 --> 01:26:23,700
Dope wheelers
and cocaine dealers
smoking pot.

1411
01:26:23,743 --> 01:26:26,137
Streets are hot
and feed off those
who bleed to death.

all that is true,

but this ain't no lie

01:26:35,451 --> 01:26:37,714
when I ask that my ashes
be scattered

1417
01:26:37,757 --> 01:26:39,672
through the Lower East Side.

1418
01:26:39,716 --> 01:26:43,850
So here I am.
Yeah, look at me...

1419
01:26:43,894 --> 01:26:46,592
I stand proud as you can see,

1420
01:26:46,636 --> 01:26:48,768
pleased to be from
the Lower East Side...

1421
01:26:48,812 --> 01:26:51,162
A street-fighting man,

1422
01:26:51,206 --> 01:26:52,816
a problem of this land...

1423
01:26:52,859 --> 01:26:56,472
I am the philosopher
of the criminal mind,

1424
01:26:56,515 --> 01:26:58,256
a dweller of prison time,

1425
01:26:58,300 --> 01:27:01,216
a cancer of
Rockefeller's ghettocide.

1426
01:27:01,259 --> 01:27:03,783
This concrete tomb
is my home...

1427
01:27:03,827 --> 01:27:07,091
To belong, to survive,
you gotta be strong...

1428
01:27:07,134 --> 01:27:09,224
You can't be shy,
lest without request,

1429
01:27:09,267 --> 01:27:11,487
someone will
scatter your ashes

1430
01:27:11,530 --> 01:27:14,359
through
the Lower East Side.

1431

[Piñero]I don't want
to be buried in Puerto Rico.

1432
01:27:21,627 --> 01:27:25,022
I don't want to rest
in some Long Island cemetery.

1433
01:27:27,329 --> 01:27:31,289
I want to be near
the stabbing, shooting,
gambling, fighting,

1434
01:27:31,333 --> 01:27:34,118
unnatural dying
and new-birth crying.

1435
01:27:34,161 --> 01:27:36,338
So, please, when I die,

1436
01:27:36,381 --> 01:27:37,730
don't take me far away.

1437
01:27:37,774 --> 01:27:39,732
Just keep me nearby.

1438
01:27:39,776 --> 01:27:42,431
Just take my ashes

1439
01:27:42,474 --> 01:27:46,217
and scatter them throughout
the Lower East Side.

1440
01:27:59,099 --> 01:28:01,798
[Piñero] Every player
is a poet, an actor,

1441
01:28:01,841 --> 01:28:03,626
a statesman, a priest,

1442
01:28:03,669 --> 01:28:06,063
but most of all,
he's a player.

1443
01:28:06,106 --> 01:28:07,978
You go out there
on the street,

1444
01:28:08,021 --> 01:28:10,241
and you meet
the world of suckers,

1445
01:28:10,285 --> 01:28:12,591
the world of greed,
and whatever other names
have been defined

1446
01:28:12,635 --> 01:28:15,507
for those that seek something
outside the acceptance
of their society,

1447
01:28:15,551 --> 01:28:19,163
and you stand with
your balls exposed
in the jungle of fear,

1448
01:28:19,206 --> 01:28:20,773
and you battle

1449
01:28:20,817 --> 01:28:22,384
and you fight the hardest
fight of your life

1450
01:28:22,427 --> 01:28:24,821
each day out there
in them streets

1451
01:28:24,864 --> 01:28:27,389
that demand blood
to nourish its own energies.

1452
01:28:27,432 --> 01:28:29,565
Today and all the todays
and tomorrows

1453

that are left
inside your soul, you know?

1454
01:28:31,741 --> 01:28:34,570
And when it's over and the streets are soaking up
in the blood,

1455
01:28:34,613 --> 01:28:37,181
you smile,

1456
01:28:37,224 --> 01:28:39,836
and you know that
you just won another day
with yourself, you know?
