Approximately six years. No vacation.
What'd you do?
Burglary.
You know, I know I fouled up
that typing test...
...but I do know how
to work a manual...
...and if you get any calls
for a manual typist...
...I'd appreciate it, you know?
Well, I'll see what I can do.
All I wanna....
All I wanna do is get a job.
I need a f***ing job.
I believe you.
Well, let me see.
I'm sorry to be a problem.
You know, like I can't drive a car
without permission.
-Why not?
-Well, it's a parole restriction.
I can't handle money, you know,
and it's like I'm limited...
...in terms of what they allow me to do.
How about the National Can Company?
-Do you think they'd let you work there?
-Yeah.
-I think that would be all right with them.
-It's not much. It's only scale.
You wanna try? Okay.
Let's see what we've got here.
Well, go here and see what they say.
Listen, if I get this job,
can I celebrate by taking you to dinner?
You're not sure?
Is that a half yes?
I guess so.
When you go there,
I hope you get the job.
-Thanks for your time.
-Good luck.
-Thank you.
-Let me know what happens.
Okay.
-Hello? Who is it?
-Who is this?
This is Henry Darin.
-Henry Darin? I've heard about you.
-Yeah.
-Is your daddy there?
-Yeah.
Well, you tell him that somebody
wants to give the big bear a bear hug.
-Who is it?
-Just tell him...
...somebody wants to give the big bear
a bear hug. He'll know.
Dad! Someone wants to give you
a big-bear big bear hug!
-Hello?
-Willy?
-Yeah?
-It's Max.
Dembo?
-How you doing?
-Max, thank-- Goddamn.
-Is that your boy?
-Yeah.
The last time you wrote,
he was learning how to walk.
Well, where the hell are you?
I got no wheels yet.
You wanna come get me?
Yes! Tell me where you are.
Well, why don't I meet you
on 7th and AIvarado?
-If I'm not there, wait for me, all right?
-Okay.
-You coming now?
-I'm coming now.
-Okay. I'll see you.
-Okay. Yeah.
-How you doing?
-Good. Get in the back, Bart. In the back!
-How you doing? Good to see you.
-It's going well.
Good. Rock 'n' roll!
-How you doing?
-Doing good.
-You working?
-I'm riveting.
Kitchens and bathrooms
in portable homes.
How'd you get the job?
Well, when I came out,
the parole officer got it for me...
...and when I got off parole, Selma said,
''It's good enough. Why don't you keep it?''
You'll be a riveter
the rest of your life, man.
Sh*t, no, man.
I'm working on my time.
I'm getting my drums together.
I'm gonna play.
Holy Jesus!
-Are you the one I talked to on the phone?
-Shake hands with Max Dembo.
-This is my son, Henry.
-How you doing?
Tell him a knock-knock joke.
He's got tons.
