:25:00
Of what faith are you,
Mr. Allison?
:25:02
Huh?
:25:03
What church did
your parents raise you in?
:25:06
Oh, I didn't have no parents.
I was an orphanage kid.
:25:08
You mean you never
knew your parents?
:25:11
They died when
you were little?
:25:14
I mean there I was at the Allison Street
entrance one morning...
:25:16
in an empty egg crate.
:25:18
Allison Street, Milwaukee.
:25:20
I figure I'm a...
:25:24
I figure I'm illegitimate.
:25:27
Well, what's the difference, I say.
I got born, didn't I?.
:25:32
Didn't they give you any religious teaching
in the orphanage?
:25:35
Oh, sure.
:25:36
Every Sunday, some skinny old crack
used to come around...
:25:39
and go on about what cigarettes
will do to your insides and...
:25:43
things.
:25:45
But I broke out of there
when I was 14.
:25:48
The next few years...
:25:49
I seen the insides of more
halls of correction and jails...
:25:51
than I did churches.
:25:53
Then I joined
the marines.
:25:57
Now, you look at me,
ma'am.
:25:59
What do you see besides
a big, dumb guy?
:26:03
I'll tell ya.
:26:04
A marine, that's what I am.
:26:07
All through me, a marine...
:26:09
like you're a nun.
:26:11
You got your cross.
I got my globe and anchor.
:26:14
Ha ha ha ha ha.
:26:17
It took a lot
of working over...
:26:19
but they're the ones
could do it.
:26:21
My first D.I....
:26:22
That's, uh, drill
instructor, ma'am...
:26:24
When I was a recruit,
he looks me up and down...
:26:26
and he says, " Lad, I'm gonna make
you hate my guts."
:26:29
The old peep sight.
:26:31
He sure kept his promise.
:26:33
There were times I
wanted to commit murder.
:26:35
Then I seen the light...
:26:37
and I started being a marine.
:26:40
Other guys, you know,
most of them...
:26:42
they got homes, families.
:26:44
Me, I got the corps,
like you got the church.
:26:50
Yes, I'm...
:26:51
I'm sure they have
many things in common.
:26:54
Yeah.
:26:56
Yeah!
