and he wasn't pleased.
:14:01
He wasn't worried
about the pocket money,

:14:03
but the next step:
:14:04
when they ask you
to pick up a gun.

:14:06
He didn't want
that to happen to us.

:14:08
You think running
for King Benny's a good idea?

:14:10
It pays.
:14:11
A lot of things pay.
:14:13
Not like this. Whoa!
:14:15
Most priests like
to preach from the pulpit.

:14:18
Father Bobby liked to talk
:14:19
during the bump and shove
of a pickup game.

:14:22
Oh, good shot.
:14:24
I found an art class
for you to take.

:14:26
You know I can't afford
to take any art classes.

:14:28
You don't have to pay anything.
:14:29
Teacher's a friend of mine. Hmm?
:14:31
I don't know.
:14:32
Could be nothing
but a waste of time.

:14:34
Or it could be the first step.
:14:35
Step to what?
:14:36
Doing something with your life.
:14:38
It may help you get out of here.
:14:39
You all could get out of here.
:14:41
Are we gonna talk
or play basketball?

:14:44
Listen, I got a story
I want to tell you.

:14:46
It ain't the one
about the lepers, is it,

:14:48
'cause that one gave me
nightmares.

:14:50
No lepers. This is Michelangelo.
:14:51
He was born poor like you guys.
:14:53
He was a painter, a sculptor.
:14:55
He takes this job from the Pope.
:14:57
Good money, good work.
:14:58
Why'd the Pope call him?
:15:00
'Cause the Pope was looking
:15:01
for the best guy he could find
:15:03
to paint the ceiling
of his church in Rome.

:15:05
Don't sound like that big a job.
:15:07
To Michelangelo it was.
:15:09
Michelangelo needed the
job 'cause it paid more money

:15:11
than he ever had in his life.
:15:12
So he could pay off the loan
sharks chasing his father.

:15:15
What's his father?
:15:17
He was, like,
a low-level con guy

:15:19
who conned people out of money,
goats, sheep...

:15:21
Goats?
:15:22
Chickens, whatever he could.
:15:23
Chickens?
:15:24
- You know what happened?
- What?

:15:26
He painted a ceiling
no-one will ever forget.

:15:28
Painted like it was
touched by the hand of God.

:15:30
Did he pay off the loans?
:15:32
Every single one.
:15:34
Hey, how long did it take him?
:15:37
Took him about 9 years.
:15:38
Nine years?
:15:39
That's right.
:15:41
I had a Puerto Rican guy do
my whole apartment in 2 days -

:15:43
and he had a bum leg.
:15:45
I don't know what I'm gonna do
with you guys.

:15:47
Just give us a job
and leave the rest to us.

:15:50
You know what it was?
The Sistine Chapel.

:15:52
- 16th chapel?
- Sistine Chapel.

:15:54
Who painted the other 15?
