Hey, hey, hey
Who caused this child
to walk on her own
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Who leads her down
this treacherous road
Hey, hey, hey, hey
She's dancing to
a song we can't hear
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I think one of the reasons
I live in New York is 'cause..
I know my way
around New York.
I don't know
my way around Paris.
I, uh...
don't know
my way around Denver.
I don't know
my way around Maui.
I don't know my way
around Toronto, etcetera.
So, it's almost by default.
I don't know very many people
who live in New York...
who don't also say,
"But I'm leaving."
And I've been thinking
of leaving...
for, uh, 35 years now.
I'm almost ready.
Last summer there
was a stretch of a couple of weeks...
where everywhere I turned
everyone seemed to be going nuts.
I mean, it's crazy enough
living in Brooklyn in the first place.
But, so many weird little things
kept popping up at once.
They all kinda got scrambled
together in my head.
I doubt that any of it
makes sense anymore...
but... this is how I remember it.
- You got it?
- I got it.
Remember, okay?
Saturday the sixteenth.
- Saturday the sixteenth?
- Yes.
- Saturday the sixteenth?
- Saturday the sixteenth.
It has to be that night.
It's got to be because it's the only night...
that Ramon and his band
are playing in Brooklyn. Okay?
Auggie, he's my brother.
Trust me, okay?
- Don't worry, sweetheart. It's a date.
- Trust me.
Thank you. Listen. Listen.
You're going to be so special.
Just remember the steps
I teach you. Okay?
And you're going to be
like Fred "Fucking" Astaire.
- Okay, Ginger. Whatever you say.
- Hey! Thief!
He took my bag! Hey!
He got your purse.
- Thank you very much, sir.
- You okay?
- I really appreciate that. Yeah. Thank you.
- All right. Good.
- That was great.
- All right.
Let's go call the cops,
have this little kid arrested.
- Come on.
- Wait a second.
We'll call from inside the store.
You're gonna
have him arrested?
Yeah.
- No. No. No! Don't!
- How old are you?
I see it in your eyes.
Me? I'm only... 12.
- Come on, he's...
- Is that what you're gonna give me now, lady?
No. He's scared
to death. Come on.
- You caught him in about five seconds flat.
- I'm only 12 years old...
and I only shoot people
who can't catch me, who are too old...
- Come on. Come on.
- Lady. Lady!
Mister, come on. I thank you for getting
it back, but let him go. He's too little.
- You're not gonna press charges against him?
- No.
- You're not gonna press charges against him?
- No. Look at him.
- Look at him? What about him?
- He's a baby. He looks like my little brother.
Sweetheart, babies are shooting people
in New York today.
- Do you see a gun on him? Come on.
- Do you read the papers?
- You got a gun on you?
- You're kidding me. Let him go, all right?
- Bye, bye. That's it.
- This is a joke already. Let him go.
- Stop it. Leave him alone, please!
- That's enough.
- Let's call the cops.
- Just let him go. All right?
I don't care. I don't want to
press charges. Thank you.
I do appreciate getting my purse back,
but please let him go.
- He's gonna be good. Look at him.
- Uh-huh.
You're not gonna do
anything anymore.
- Here, it's yours. It's yours.
- You're looking for trouble.
- You're looking for trouble.
- Go! Go!
- What are you doing?
- Why'd you do that?
You shit! Look at the poor girl.
Why you do that, you f*ck?
Why you stand there?
Do something! You think it's funny.
- It's not funny. I'm not laughing.
- How dare you do that!
How dare you take my thing
