:16:03
Outside events meant little.
:16:05
In a society changing
radically by the hour,
:16:07
we watched the images scatter
nightly across the TV screens.
:16:10
Young protesters spoke about how
they were gonna change our lives
:16:13
and fix the world.
:16:15
But while they shouted
their slogans,
:16:17
my friends and I went
to funeral services
:16:20
for the young men
of Hell's Kitchen
:16:21
who came back from Vietnam
in body bags.
:16:24
We viewed with scepticism
the faces on television -
:16:27
those protected by money
and upper middle-class standing.
:16:33
A growing army of feminists
marched across the country,
:16:36
demanding equality...
:16:38
Yet our mothers
still cooked and cared
:16:41
for men who abused them
mentally and physically.
:16:44
For me and my friends,
:16:46
these developments
carried no weight.
:16:48
They might as well have
occurred in another country,
:16:51
in another century.
:16:53
Our attention was elsewhere.
:16:54
We sat with Father Bobby
visiting John,
:16:56
hoping he would recover
from a punctured lung -
:16:59
a gift from one of his mother's
overzealous boyfriends.
:17:02
Hope you like these.
:17:04
You better not tell me
you don't.
:17:07
OK.
:17:09
Father Bobby didn't let
that situation rest.
:17:13
I gave on Sunday.
I'm in a rush, OK?
:17:15
John Reilly.
:17:16
Little punk.
:17:18
He got out of line,
so I put him back in line.
:17:20
You put him in the hospital.
:17:22
He's alive, ain't he?
:17:23
Look, if he's smart,
he learned himself a lesson.
:17:25
What are you, about 220? 230?
:17:27
Yeah.
:17:28
You're a big guy.
:17:29
How much you think
John Reilly weighs?
:17:31
80? 85?
:17:32
That's not even a featherweight.
:17:34
If this were a fight,
:17:36
you'd be
way out of your division.
:17:38
Look, it was a slap.
It was nothing.
:17:41
Well, next time,
you'll be meeting me.
:17:44
And I may not be
in your division,
:17:46
but I do weigh
more than 85 pounds,
:17:49
and you won't need
a doctor when I'm done.
:17:51
You'll need a priest...
:17:52
to pray over your body.
:17:58
See you in church.
