Travis Bickle: May 10th. Thank God for the rain which has helped wash away the garbage and trash off the sidewalks. I'm workin' long hours now, six in the afternoon to six in the morning. Sometimes even eight in the morning, six days a week. Sometimes seven days a week. It's a long hustle but it keeps me real busy. I can take in three, three fifty a week. Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter. All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets. I go all over. I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn, I take 'em to Harlem. I don't care. Don't make no difference to me. It does to some. Some won't even take spooks. Don't make no difference to me.

the garbage and the trash off the sidewalks. I'm working long hours now. Six in the afternoon to 6 in the morning, sometimes even 8 in the morning. Six days a week, sometimes seven days a week. It's a long hustle, but it keeps me real busy. I can take in $300, $350 a week. Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter. All the animals come out at night. Whores, skunk-pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies. Sick, venal. Someday a real rain'll come and wash all this scum off the streets. I go all over. I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn. I take them to Harlem. I don't care. Don't make no difference to me. It does to some. Some won't even take spooks. Don't make no difference to me. Driver, 48th and 6th, please. Man, you are gorgeous! Beautiful little girl. I can't afford to get stopped anywhere. Oh, no. We wouldn't want that to happen. There'll be a big tip in it for you, you do the right things. You got a way. Yeah. Now you're talking! Driver, hurry up, will you?
