how much we hate
the torpedoes, we don't rat.
Rat?
Now, boys, get smart.
I know you're getting
pushed around...
...but one thing we've got in
this country is ways of fighting back.
Getting the facts to the public,
testifying for what you know is right...
...against what you know is wrong.
And what's ratting to them is telling
the truth for you! Can't you see that?
Can't you see that?
It seems to me we've gone just about
as far as we can at this time.
I think you'll agree with that, Father.
So I'd like to close with a few words
from St. Matthew.
Come unto me, all you...
That's our friends.
What did I tell you?
This is a police problem, not ours!
- These people need our help, Vince!
- Okay! Okay!
Only don't blame me when they ship
you off to Abyssinia!
I won't!
Edie, you'd better go home in pairs.
Twos is two, you know.
Come on!
Pop! Pop!
Don't go out there.
No, no. Come here. Come here!
Edie! Edie!
What happened to Pop?
He's an old man.
They won't hurt him.
Get out of here!
Here, up. Are you all right, Dugan?
Yeah, considering they were using
my head for a baseball.
You still D and D?
You still call it ratting?
- Are you on the level?
- What do you think?
If I stick my neck out
and they chop it off...
...are you willing to go all the way?
- Down the line.
They'll put the muscle on you too,
turned-around collar or not.
Wipe your face. Listen to me. You
stand up, and I'll stand up with you.
- Right down the wire?
- So help me God.
- I think we're okay.
- Steel pipes and baseball bats.
Well, they play pretty rough
around here.
- I can make it home now all right.
- Okay.
Which side are you with?
Me? I'm with me, Terry.
Hey, you got a dime
for a cup of coffee?
- Beat it, will you?
- Just a little dime you don't need?
Hey, I know you.
- You're Edie Doyle.
- Come on, beat it.
Your brother was a saint, the only one
who tried to get me a compensation.
What are you doing? Get out of here.
You remember, Terry.
You was there that night...
- Get out of here!
- You remember.
Get out of here.
Here's some change.
Go have yourself a ball.
You don't buy me. You're still a bum.
So long, Edie.
Lord have mercy on Joey.
Look who's calling me a bum.
Everybody loved Joey...
...the little kids to the old rummies.
Did you know him very well?
Well, you know, he got around.
- What did that man mean just now?
- Don't pay no attention to him.
He's drunk, he's falling down,
everything.
He's just a juicehead that hangs
around the neighborhood.
Don't pay no attention.
I'd better go now.
You don't have to be afraid of me.
I'm not gonna bite you.
I guess they don't let you walk
with fellas where you've been, huh?
- You know how the Sisters are.
- Yeah.
- Are you training to be a nun?
- It's just a regular college.
Wait a second.
It's run by the Sisters of St. Anne.
Where is that?
- It's in Tarrytown.
- Where's that?
In the country.
I don't like the country.
The crickets make me nervous.
So how often do you get in here?
I guess I haven't been here
since last Christmas.
We were gonna have
a Thanksgiving party.
That's nice.
What do you do up there?
You just, what, study?
- I want to be a teacher.
- Teacher?
That's very good. You know,
personally, I admire brains.
My brother Charley
is a very brainy guy.
He had a couple of years of college.
It isn't just brains.
- It's how you use them.
- Yeah, I get your thought.
You know, I seen you
a lot of times before.
Remember parochial school
out on Pulaski Street?
Seven, eight years ago?
You had your hair...
Braids.
Looked like a hunk of rope.
You had wires on your teeth
and glasses, everything.
You was really a mess.
I can get home all right now. Thanks.
Listen, don't get sore.
I'm just kidding you a little bit.
I just mean to tell you that you're...
You grew up very nice.
Thanks.
You don't...?
You don't remember me, do you?
I remembered you
the first moment I saw you.
