SUSAN:
Now tell me, when we
met on the street what did you want from me?
JULES:
Er ... the first thing
I wanted, really, the first thing that came
into my mind is, I wonder if she'll give me
a dollar so I can buy a bottle of wine. That
was the first thing.
SUSAN:
And then?
JULES:
And I was a little
cold, and I wasn't hungry, because these
people in the church here where we are at
right now. ahm, we had, er, the hundred
twenty-eight street, and, er, the Roman
Catholic church and they're so nice people
here. They feed you. So I would have really
been lying to you to tell you that I was
hungry. I don't have a place to stay, I ...
SUSAN:
Why's that?
JULES:
Because, er ... I,
did, er ... eight years in, er ... prison.
SUSAN:
What for?
JULES:
For armed robbery. I didn't hurt
anybody. In fact it wasn't really armed robbery, they
call it simulatin' a weapon. You know, I had my hand in
my pocket, but that was in the 70s. I wouldn't even take
the chance to do that now, I would be scared.
SUSAN:
Tell me about a typical day in
your life.
JULES:
A typical day in my life? A good
day? A good day?
SUSAN:
A good day and a bad day.
JULES:
Well, a good day was when I was 18
and I was married and I had a wife and a baby. That was
a nice time for me then. A bad day in my life I think
was, not, not the prison, because I survived the prison,
it was when I came out and my mother rejected me. That
was a bad day in my life.
SUSAN:
How do you see your future?
JULES:
I don't see none. I think I'm ...
sister, I'm gonna tell you somethin', and you're a
beautiful lady with pretty eyes. I don't see no future
right now. I really don't ...
