intelligent,
decent, sensitive man,
and... well, I have a feeling about you.
Like, well, like sometimes one of my kids
comes to see me about something,
and some of these kids, Marty,
in my classes, they...
they have so much warmth
and so much capacity.
Well, that's the feeling I have about you.
If you were one of my students,
I'd say to you
"Go ahead and buy the butcher shop.
You're a good butcher."
Well, there's lots of things
I could do with this shop.
I could organise my own supermarket.
Get a bunch of neighbourhood
merchants together.
That's what a lot of them are doin'.
What do you think?
I think anything you wanna do
you'll do well.
I'm Catholic. Are you Catholic?
Yes, I am.
Look, I only got about $3 on me now, but
I only live about eight blocks from here.
Why don't we go back to my house, I'll get
some dough and we can go somewhere?
I... I really should get home.
It's only a quarter of 12.
The clock's right up there.
I... I really should get home.
I told my father...
Well, I... I suppose a little while longer...
Do you suppose there's someplace
around here I could put on some makeup?
Oh. Hey, Mac!
You got a ladies' room around here?
- In the back.
- In the back.
- She told me, at the risk of her life.
- She always had thin hips.
She told me the doctor told her, if she had
more babies, it'd be at the risk of her life.
When she told me that,
she already had six!
Every time I saw her, she was either
goin' to the hospital or comin' from it.
- She was hatchin' 'em out like eggs.
- Her husband's a skinny fella.
Well, I bumped into her on the street
and she was as big as a barrel.
- I said to her "Mary..."
- Lou, seen Marty?
- No, I ain't seen him all night.
- Where's everybody?
"Didn't you say if you
had another it'd kill you?"
And her husband's a little bit of a man.
Well, last week on Tuesday she gave birth
to her baby in St Elizabeth's Hospital.
- A fine, healthy boy. Nine pounds.
- That's fine. So the doctor was wrong.
Oh, no. She died
right there in the hospital.
Oh, that's a sad story.
- And her husband's that little fella?
- That's the one.
That's a sad story.
...moving out to Port Chester.
It's silly to think of commuting.
I'd have to take the subway down to
125th, then take the bus to the railroad,
and then take the New York, New Haven
and Hartford out to Port Chester.
Then I think I have a 20-minute bus ride
out of Port Chester.
Somebody suggested that I buy a car,
but I'm terrified of cars.
I'm always afraid I'll kill someone.
Of course, it is a fine opportunity for me.
I could never hope to be the head of a
department in the New York City system,
especially not in the science courses.
Of course, I'm not sure
I want to be a department head.
It's mostly executive
and administrative work.
On the other hand...
Well, anyway I told you about my father
and, well, he depends on me a great deal.
Well, let me tell ya, Clara.
I think you're kiddin' yourself.
I mean, I used to think about
leavin' home, you know.
And that's what I used to say:
"My mother needs me."
But when you really come down to it,
that ain't it at all.
We're just afraid to go out on our own. It's
a big step when you go out on your own.
And I think you're kiddin' yourself
when you say your father needs you.
Actually, you need your father.
You know what I mean?
Well, you know what I mean.
You're livin' at home now and
you've got your father and mother there.
You could go on like that,
be a little girl all your life.
I'm afraid of being lonely.
You won't be so lonely.
You'll make friends right away.
Well, actually, I don't make friends easily.
What are you talkin' about?
You're a real likeable person.
You'll make friends
in Port Chester one-two-three.
You'll have people visitin' you
all the time. I'll visit you.
I'll get my brother Freddie's car
or you can call me up when you feel blue.
Or I'll call you up and...
It'll be real nice. Don't be so
