Divine Alum: Wait till you grow up and try to make it in the
real world Kid. 

Sitting Kid: I don't even watch TV. The real world? Isn't
that a TV program? 

Divine Alum: After your sit in I'm sure you'll want to teach
poor kids in the Bronx. Just follow me Kid. Got the divinity
award,  Notre Dame, Latin scholarship, free boat to Harvard,
my old man was a security gaurd and my mother worked in a
sweat shop to pay my rent, but I couldn't touch a single
room in Cambridge, public transportation is good here.
Wonder what the people cleaning the buses make an hour. You
know what they pay a notrre dame harvard divinity graduate
to teach school in the Bronx, Kid?
