Quote by Ken Sobol

“All in all, a boy with more than the average share of problems, probably destined to end up no different than his father, or in jail, or in some other kind of trouble. The first time a cop crossed him, or a bookie demanded his money, or he was bounced from a job, would be the beginning of the end. There were kids like him in gutters and jail cells all around the country.”

'I can see now that I must have meant the second.' "What a smart boy.”

“He passed a hair salon called Snip Away, which sounded more like a vasectomy clinic than a beauty parlor. The Snip Away beauticians were either reformed mall girls or guys named Mario whose fathers were named Sal. Two patrons sat in a window - one getting a perm, the other a bleach job. Who wanted that? Who wanted to sit in a window and have the whole world watch you get your hair done?”
