Uh, South Bronx, is that
name familiar to you at all?

[CLAPPING]

00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:10.930 align:middle line:84%
We have a few Easterners
here, I guess.

00:00:10.930 --> 00:00:14.800 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.550 align:middle line:84%
It's a place that can turn your
stomach, that's all I can say.

00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:21.008 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:21.008 --> 00:00:25.950 align:middle line:90%


00:00:25.950 --> 00:00:28.170 align:middle line:90%
Where am I in all this?

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:29.370 align:middle line:90%
Under a heap of rubble.

00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:32.310 align:middle line:84%
Somewhere in the middle of
waiting the nose of the rat

00:00:32.310 --> 00:00:33.720 align:middle line:90%
to sniff me out.

00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:36.690 align:middle line:84%
And to think a moment
of my human smell.

00:00:36.690 --> 00:00:39.840 align:middle line:84%
The rat will find it hard
to understand back off,

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.050 align:middle line:84%
bare its teeth,
turn tail and run.

00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:44.460 align:middle line:90%
But I am nothing at all.

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:45.570 align:middle line:90%
I am refuse.

00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:47.280 align:middle line:90%
I am a junk body.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.930 align:middle line:90%
I cannot be repaired.

00:00:48.930 --> 00:00:51.870 align:middle line:84%
I have damaged
irreplaceable parts.

00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:54.600 align:middle line:84%
Eyes, that refuse
to see any longer,

00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.370 align:middle line:90%
turned in on themselves.

00:00:56.370 --> 00:01:00.030 align:middle line:84%
Arms, that stick to my
sides, unable and unwilling

00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:03.780 align:middle line:84%
to move out of a lack of
anything for them to do.

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:06.780 align:middle line:84%
Legs, stiff and
straight out before me,

00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:09.960 align:middle line:84%
never having had
anywhere to go, never

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:12.360 align:middle line:90%
put to use to walk the world.

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:15.580 align:middle line:84%
My stomach is shrunken
and beyond food

00:01:15.580 --> 00:01:20.380 align:middle line:84%
because what I was served as
food, never really fed me.

00:01:20.380 --> 00:01:21.910 align:middle line:90%
But I could be useful.

00:01:21.910 --> 00:01:26.850 align:middle line:84%
I am garbage, like any batted
open can or empty milk carton.

00:01:26.850 --> 00:01:29.940 align:middle line:84%
I want, at least, to be
found useful by the rat.

00:01:29.940 --> 00:01:35.190 align:middle line:84%
To regain pride in myself before
I molder into insensibility.

00:01:35.190 --> 00:01:37.320 align:middle line:84%
If he hates and
fears me, then, it's

00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:40.800 align:middle line:84%
because it was my species
that hunted him, at one time,

00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:44.910 align:middle line:84%
and forced him to eat garbage
in secret humiliation.

00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:47.790 align:middle line:84%
He is confusing me
with my own kind.

00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:50.280 align:middle line:84%
If only he would
understand, and I

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.460 align:middle line:84%
could help by becoming
unrecognizable,

00:01:53.460 --> 00:01:54.750 align:middle line:90%
a pulp of flesh.

00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:57.450 align:middle line:90%


00:01:57.450 --> 00:02:00.800 align:middle line:90%
