Alfred Chamberlain:
Those guys in the park, they said 'Hey, fatface! What are you staring at?' If I told them I wasn't staring at them, they would've beat me up for being a liar. And if I told them I was staring at them because I wanted to take their picture, then they'd beat me up for being a cop. So I told them I was staring at them because they looked familiar, and they beat me up for being a fag. There's no way of talking someone out of beating you up if that's what he wants to do

Alfred, what are you
talking about?
00:00:15.142 --> 00:00:17.372
When I first met you...
00:00:17.478 --> 00:00:19.378
I remember thinking to myself...
00:00:19.048 --> 00:00:23.041
this is the most formidable
person I've ever met.
00:00:23.015 --> 00:00:26.415
I don't stand a chance.
I'll try to stay the way I am.
00:00:26.052 --> 00:00:30.513
I'll try desperately,
but I don't stand a chance.
00:00:30.624 --> 00:00:33.957
It's only a matter of time, Patsy.
Very soon I'll be different.
00:00:34.061 --> 00:00:38.794
I'll be able to look at...
a half-empty glass of water and say...
00:00:38.933 --> 00:00:43.087
"My God, this glass isn't half-empty.
This glass is half-full."
00:00:46.106 --> 00:00:50.202
Patsy, I'm the one who has to change.
You're not the one who has to change.
00:00:58.285 --> 00:01:00.879
You see what happens
when you start...
00:01:00.988 --> 00:01:03.422
fooling around with the rules?
00:01:04.658 --> 00:01:08.001
It begins with weddings,
and it ends with...
00:01:08.529 --> 00:01:12.465
Well, there's no telling where it ends.
00:01:30.999 --> 00:01:35.012
There are reasons
for doing things the old way.
