I got-- It's just that I got--
- I got-- - Things got you down?
- Yeah. - It happens to the best of us.
Yeah, it got me real down.
I just want to go out and really, really do something.
Taxi life, you mean?
Yeah, well--
No, it's--
I don't know.
I just wanna go out...
and really--
I really wanna--
I got some bad ideas in my head. I just--
Look at it this way.
A man takes a job, you know?
And that job-- I mean, like that--
That becomes what he is.
You know, like--
You do a thing and that's what you are.
Like I've been a cabbie for years. Ten years at night.
I still don't own my own cab. You know why?
Because I don't want to. That must be what I want.
To be on the night shift drivin' somebody else's cab.
You understand?
I mean, you become-- You get a job, you become the job.
One guy lives in Brooklyn. One guy lives in Sutton Place.
You got a lawyer. Another guy's a doctor.
Another guy dies. Another guy gets well.
People are born.
I envy you your youth.
Go on, get laid, get drunk. Do anything.
You got no choice, anyway. I mean, we're all fucked.
More or less, ya know.
I don't know. That's about the dumbest thing I ever heard.
It's not Bertrand Russell. But what do you want? I'm a cabbie.
What do I know? I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about.
Maybe I don't know either.
