I love them tall. Acres and acres.
:40:09
Enjoy yourself, paisan.
:40:11
You need this more than I do.
:40:12
Tomorrow you'll be back
with ''The Treatment.''

:40:17
What does he mean?
:40:21
That was nice before.
:40:22
The way you snuggled up in front of him.
:40:24
What's ''The Treatment''?
:40:28
Some of the guys putting me
over the jumps 'cause I don't want to fight.

:40:32
Fight?
:40:33
Yeah. On the boxing team.
:40:35
I don't want to box.
I don't even want to think about it.

:40:37
Why should you have to box?
:40:40
Well, see, I used to fight, middleweight.
:40:44
I was pretty good, and they know it.
:40:48
Well, anyway....
:40:50
Well, come on. Tell me. I want to hear.
:40:54
Well, the thing is, see....
:40:57
I used to work out with this guy,
Dixie Wells.

:40:59
He's a real good friend of mine.
:41:01
He loved to box.
People on the outside had their eye on him.

:41:05
He was gonna come out of the Army
and go right up to the top.

:41:09
Well, one afternoon...
:41:11
...he and I were sparring in the gym.
:41:13
You know, kind of friendly-like.
:41:17
He must have been set pretty flat
on his feet...

:41:19
...'cause I caught him...
:41:22
...with a no-more-than-ordinary right cross.
:41:30
He didn't get up. He didn't move.
:41:33
He was in a coma for a week.
:41:36
Finally, he did pull out of it.
:41:39
Only, the thing was, he was blind.
:41:46
I went to see him at the hospital
a couple of times.

:41:51
Finally, I just couldn't go back.
:41:53
The last time he and I started talking
about fighting and....

:41:59
He started to cry.
