The Prudential Tower, 52 stories high...

is the tallest building

in the continental United States...

if you consider Manhattan Island

outside the continental United States.

Here's Bunker Hill Monument.

Stands 220 feet tall,

30 square feet at the bottom...

15 at the top, 294 winding stairs.

It'll take you approximately 2o minutes

to walk up, 15 minutes to come down...

and 10 days to get over it.

The Boston-Cambridge area has a total

As we make a right-hand turn,

look to your left.

You'll see the Boston Public Library.

The third oldest library in America.

There's over 2 million volumes

in its collection.

On your far left is the Old South Church.

As we make a right-hand turn

on Boston Street, look to your right.

You will see Trinity Church,

founded in 1877...

designed by Henry Hobson Richardson.

Phillip Brooks was pastor of this church

for 22 consecutive years.

While being pastor,

he was made Bishop of Massachusetts.

Most of you people remember Phillip Brooks

by his famous church hymns.

One of the most famous Christmas carols,

O Little Town of Bethlehem.

We'll make a brief stop in South Boston,

to discharge a passenger.

- See you next Sunday, Charly.

- Okay.

- Come on, Charly, just one beer.

- No, I can't. Not tonight, Gimp.

- I bet you're gonna see that school teacher.

- Boy, could I give her a lesson.

- I didn't think you went for broads.

- Sure I do.

What do you do with her?

I promised her. I can't talk about it.

What do you mean

you can't talk about it, Charly?

- Ain't I your best buddy?

- Sure you are.

- What's the big mystery?

- I promised her. I can't talk about it.

- Charly, I'm disappointed in you.

- Don't be mad at me, Gimp.

So come on over and have a beer.

Just a little beer.

Okay.

- Charly, how about playing a little music?

- Yeah, okay.

- I've got it here.

- Hold it, Hank.

- Charly's got lots of dough. Right, Charly?

- Yeah, I save my dough.

I bet you got a bundle

tucked under the mattress.

What do you save it for, Charly?

- Well, I don't know. Something.

- What?

- So blow two bits, Charly?

- Yeah.

Watch this.

Charly, what did you do to it?

Drop a slug in?

No, I put a quarter in there, Gimp.

A real quarter.

Talk to the juke, Charly, like you always do.

Yeah, okay.

Juke, I put a quarter in there,

and you better play. Do you hear?

Charly, Juke don't like to be scolded.
