Yonkers Joe Page #2

on Boston?

No, no, it's too high.

No. All right. I'll call you back.

Jeff. Hey. It's Joe.

Yeah, what are you

showing on Boston?

No, come on. You keep moving it around.

There's no room there.

I'll tell you what,

you know what?

Give me the Knicks

plus 7 1/2 for a dime,

and give me, uh...

give me Buddy's Revenge

in the late-night double.

$50 box. Yeah.

You know what?

I got a call.

All right, I got to go.

I'll call you back. All right. Bye.

Hello?

Hey, Irene, yeah.

How you doing?

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, I'll be there

tomorrow.

Yeah. Bye.

He participates. It's not that.

They all love him.

He's always been a model client.

Then what is it?

Well, as you know,

he's very high-functioning.

He reads, he writes, he

has excellent comprehension.

It's just that his

mood swings are intense.

Irene, what did he do?

It's not just

one incident.

His whole attitude is

becoming more and more hostile.

In the 12 years that

he's been with us,

he's never used

profanity like this.

You know what? I'll donate more,

whatever it takes to get over this.

Oh, no, no, no.

It's not a question of money.

He turns 21 in three weeks.

He's got to move on.

You need to come

and pick up your son

next Wednesday

morning.

I can't take him with me.

That's impossible.

I'm a salesman. I'm on the

road constantly. You know that.

That's good.

Joe loves to travel.

He takes the buses, the

subways, everywhere by himself.

Wait a minute. What are you saying,

that I should take him to work with me?

He can't stay here.

He attacked an employee.

We have a no-tolerance rule

against that sort of thing,

and I'm gonna tell you

right now,

so will that group home.

All right. What happens

if I don't take him?

Well, then I am gonna

have to refer you

to some state-run

facilities.

Come on, Irene. You know

what those places are like.

You would do that?

I'm not the one

who makes that decision.

Well, isn't there

another place

until he's ready

for the group home?

Well, there's

the Golden Angels.

It's a private facility

in Greenburgh,

but it's expensive.

All right. How much?

It's a great deal

of money, Joe,

Plus there's a lot

of red tape involved.

You mean tax forms,

work stubs,

all that nonsense?

The whole 9.

Look, the logical place

for Joe is the group home.

It's where he belongs.

He'll get a job and

he'll live productively.

That's all I want.

Well, good.

If you take him now,

he'll see what it's like

to be with family.

And in 6 months,

you can reapply for the next

transitive training session.

In 6 months?

You're killing this kid if you

put him with me for 6 months.

He was supposed to enter

the program in three weeks,
