George is in his father's saloon, waiting for his dad to give him his birthday present: a trip to the fights at Madison Square Garden. They are about to leave when Judge demands George's father strip and lie down on the barroom floor. George doesn't know why, but his old man does it and Judge beats him senseless in front of the whole bar. When he's finished crying, George takes his father's gun and sets out into the night.
