can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you
Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in?
/ may not win
But I can't be thrown
Out here
On my own
Out here
On my own
That was nice. Really.
Sentimental shit.
[WHISTLING]
MARTELLl:
That was beautiful!
That was beautiful.
It was beautiful.
- Yeah, this is it here.
- You live here?
My sister lives here.
I'm always welcome.
MARTELLI: Very nice.
COCO: Yeah.
They're very fancy, huh?
I'll wait till you get inside.
No. It's okay. Really.
- Okay.
- It's a good neighborhood.
- It's not much, but-
- Please, come on. That's not necessary.
I should pay you.
You know, I play your tapes
for my customers, you know.
They love that stuff.
My tips go up 20 percent, at least.
- And my son is happy.
- He's writing some good shit too.
We're gonna be all over the charts
one of these days.
- You make him happy, you know that?
- We're a hot team, you know.
- You make him hotter. You know?
- Sure.
I seem to have that effect on people.
What can I do? Thanks again.
- Good night, Bruno.
- Night. Take it easy.
MARTELLl:
Good night.

You're crazy.
You call a doctor?
I don't think she's hurt.
Since when are you
in the thinking business?
MORALES:
She's frightened.
- She's 5 fucking years old!
- Please keep your voice down.
Raul!
- You're in a church.
- You're in the Dark Ages!
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
You kiss my ass, Padre.
She needs a doctor! A doctor!
Not the goddamn Holy Ghost!
[PRAYS IN SPANISH]
[CLANGING]
Is she all right?
You're not attacked by a creep
at 5 years old and all right.
I'm sorry.
Doris, I wasn't there!
I wasn't fucking there!
What about your father?
I happen to be between
fathers right now.
DORIS:
What does that mean?
You got to understand something.
You got to understand
the Puerto Rican woman.
She thinks about the kids...
...how they gotta have a father.
Love has nothing to do with it.
My mom has an extra room.
She rents it out.
Next thing you know,
I've got a new father.
They're all right, mostly.
They may stay a day...
...or a week or a month,
if we're lucky.
Sometimes they even pay the rent.
They keep out all the rats.
Not animal-type rats.
I'm talking about real rats...
...the junkies and the winos...
...and the shitheads
and the people who beat up...
...little 5-year-old kids.
I got three sisters, see?
One of them, Maria, she's
in kind of a special place.
We see her a couple times a year.
She's got a birth defect.
That's a goddamn lie.
That's a goddamn lie!
Want to know about my father?
My first fucking father?
He ain't no special shit.
He's in New York State Penitentiary.
He's doing time.
I remember this one night
he got bothered...
...because I was making her laugh.
I was telling her stories.
It was just kid stuff.
Flying carpets and dragons.
And he got mad
because she was laughing!
And he said I was telling her lies.
And this one night...
...he got bothered.
He's beating me
and coming down on me...
...I said, "I make her laugh."
That's not a lie, that's a gift,
goddamn it.
He can't do it.
He said if he can't do it,
he sure as shit's gonna stop it.
And he went for me, and...
...she got in the way
all of a sudden, and...
...he put her head inside a fucking wall.
If it was my fucking head,
it would've been all right...
...but it wasn't. It was hers!
If it was my fucking fat head,
it would've been all right.
She's a beautiful kid.
She's 5 fucking years old.
She's got a pretty little laugh.
She still laughs, as a matter of fact.

FINSECKER:
Barbra Streisand didn't change her name.
DORIS: I don't want to talk about it.
- I'll call you Doris, like always.
DORIS:
I won't answer.
FINSECKER: It's a perfectly good name.
- For a perfectly good person.
A skinny, boring, nondescript,
perfectly good person.
I have
