00:24:52,754 --> 00:24:57,251
MARIA: The newspapers, radio, television.
I can see it now.

353
00:24:57,426 --> 00:25:02,883
"Mr. Sherman McCoy of Park Avenue,
and Mrs. Arthur Ruskin of Fifth Avenue...

354
00:25:03,474 --> 00:25:07,307
"...are recuperating after their adventures
in the Bronx."

355
00:25:07,979 --> 00:25:09,522
[Maria laughs]

356
00:25:12,609 --> 00:25:14,935
Explain that one to your wife.

357
00:25:15,446 --> 00:25:17,439
SHERMAN: Yes, you have a point.

358
00:25:21,619 --> 00:25:23,327
But I'd feel better if--

359
00:25:23,997 --> 00:25:26,618
You don't have to feel better.

360
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:29,658
I was the one who was driving.

361
00:25:30,127 --> 00:25:32,286
And I say I didn't hit anybody.

362
00:25:32,463 --> 00:25:35,797
And I'm not reporting anything
to the police.

363
00:25:36,134 --> 00:25:40,962
And if you're a gentleman,
you'll support me in that decision.

364
00:25:42,308 --> 00:25:44,384
[Light instrumental music]

365
00:25:48,481 --> 00:25:50,438
MARIA: We were in the jungle.

366
00:25:51,693 --> 00:25:54,018
-We were attacked.
-That's true.

367
00:25:54,321 --> 00:25:57,073
-We fought our way out.
-We could've been killed.

368
00:25:57,157 --> 00:25:58,652
We fought.

369
00:25:59,159 --> 00:26:01,152
I feel like an animal.

370
00:26:01,704 --> 00:26:03,993
You drove the hell out of that car.

371
00:26:04,165 --> 00:26:07,665
The hard part was getting into the seat,
over that gearshift.

372
00:26:07,836 --> 00:26:09,460
SHERMAN: No, it was instinct.

373
00:26:09,546 --> 00:26:11,206
God, and that tire!

374
00:26:11,506 --> 00:26:14,377
-He was big, wasn't he?
-Sherman was bigger.

375
00:26:14,885 --> 00:26:17,507
-You were great.
-We were both great.

376
00:26:19,724 --> 00:26:23,057
This could be the best sex we've had
in a long time.

377
00:26:23,561 --> 00:26:26,681
-I still think--
-Don't think!

378
00:26:26,898 --> 00:26:28,523
Just fuck!

379
00:26:37,201 --> 00:26:39,110
JUDGE: Mr. Sonnenberg?

380
00:26:40,705 --> 00:26:43,077
Where the hell is Mr. Sonnenberg?

381
00:26:45,085 --> 00:26:49,083
Mr. Lockwood, you sit down.
If and when your lawyer appears--

382
00:26:49,381 --> 00:26:51,291
LOCKWOOD: Two to six, Judge.

383
00:26:51,592 --> 00:26:55,376
Two to six. Two weeks ago,
he told me two to six.

384
00:26:55,930 --> 00:26:57,638
Two to six, or we go to trial.

385
00:26:57,724 --> 00:27:00,511
JUDGE: Nobody wants to go to trial.
LOCKWOOD: I'll go.

386
00:27:00,602 --> 00:27:02,013
JUDGE: Approach the bench.

387
00:27:02,103 --> 00:27:04,096
I'll approach the bench.

388
00:27:06,942 --> 00:27:11,071
Listen, you son of a bitch.
You're a nice boy, with a lot going for you.

389
00:27:11,238 --> 00:27:15,237
We got 7,000 felony indictments
in the Bronx every year.

390
00:27:15,451 --> 00:27:18,368
We got room for 650 trials.
Yours isn't one of them.

391
00:27:18,454 --> 00:27:19,699
I go to trial.

392
00:27:19,914 --> 00:27:21,906
You go sit down.

393
00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:25,915
And you'll take whatever plea bargain
we give you.

394
00:27:26,129 --> 00:27:30,174
You'll kiss my ass and thank me
that I didn't put you away for 25 years.

395
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:34,594
That's what you'd get if this case goes
to trial. Now get out of my face.

396
00:27:45,317 --> 00:27:46,645
What'd he do?

397
00:27:47,444 --> 00:27:52,106
Robbed and raped a 70-year-old lady
and put her in a garbage can.

398
00:27:52,324 --> 00:27:53,819
Jesus Christ.

399
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,987
Welcome to the South Bronx.

400
00:27:57,455 --> 00:27:59,827
People versus Harold Williams.

401
00:28:00,792 --> 00:28:03,497
Indictment number 294721.

402
00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:08,330
This case was dismissed three weeks ago.

403
00:28:08,467 --> 00:28:09,926
Go get 'em, tiger.

404
00:28:10,970 --> 00:28:12,594
Why is this case here?

405
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,476
May I approach the bench, Your Honor?

406
00:28:18,311 --> 00:28:19,889
Who the hell are you?

407
00:28:22,023 --> 00:28:24,230
Assistant District Attorney Kramer.

408
00:28:24,693 --> 00:28:27,363
Mr. Kramer, you are new here.

409
00:28:27,696 --> 00:28:29,773
Let me explain something to you.

410
00:28:30,491 --> 00:28:33,860
This case is what we call a piece of shit.

411
00:28:34,203 --> 00:28:38,154
Which, loosely translated,
means you don't have any evidence.

412
00:28:40,002 --> 00:28:44,165
Except that District Attorney Weiss
has instructed me to show you--

413
00:28:44,340 --> 00:28:47,507
I know who the District Attorney is,
Mr. Kramer.

414
00:28:48,719 --> 00:28:52,171
The only reason Mr. Weiss is interested
in this case...

415
00:28:52,390 --> 00:28:54,846
...is because Mr. Williams over there...

416
00:28:55,227 --> 00:28:59,225
...is a white man who lives
in a nice big house in Riverdale.

417
00:29:00,733 --> 00:29:02,310
I'm not following you.

418
00:29:02,401 --> 00:29:04,643
JUDGE: Because it's an election year.

419
00:29:04,737 --> 00:29:08,319
Ninety-nine percent of those you shovel
through this court are black...

420
00:29:08,407 --> 00:29:11,693
...and the other ninety-nine percent
don't speak English.

421
00:29:12,203 --> 00:29:13,745
But they do vote.

422
00:29:14,580 --> 00:29:17,914
So your boss, the District Attorney,
Mr. Weiss...

423
00:29:18,376 --> 00:29:22,374
...who dreams every night
of one day becoming mayor of New York...

424
00:29:22,589 --> 00:29:24,380
...needs a white man.

425
00:29:24,549 --> 00:29:28,085
He needs to find him, book him,
and throw him in jail.

426
00:29:28,596 --> 00:29:30,339
Then everybody likes him.

427
00:29:30,431 --> 00:29:32,424
The press and voters like him.

428
00:29:34,268 --> 00:29:36,641
Even your mother would like him.

429
00:29:36,938 --> 00:29:39,061
-You following me?
-I am now.

430
00:29:39,274 --> 00:29:41,682
Now you tell your boss,
"Captain Ahab Weiss"...

431
00:29:41,777 --> 00:29:46,238
...that I know he's out there looking
for "the great white defendant."

432
00:29:46,448 --> 00:29:49,236
But Mr. Williams, over there, is not it!

433
00:29:51,788 --> 00:29:53,531
Don't take it personally.

434
00:29:53,915 --> 00:29:55,991
Maybe he didn't like your shoes.

435
00:29:56,418 --> 00:29:57,663
You Andruitti?

436
00:29:58,086 --> 00:30:01,669
I'm Martin, this is Goldberg.
We just came from Bronx Hospital.

437
00:30:02,091 --> 00:30:05,792
Kid named Henry Lamb came in last night
with a broken wrist.

438
00:30:06,095 --> 00:30:08,467
They fixed him up and sent him home.

439
00:30:08,765 --> 00:30:11,766
This morning, he comes back in
with a concussion.

440
00:30:11,935 --> 00:30:14,770
He goes into a coma
and now they say he'll die.

441
00:30:14,938 --> 00:30:16,563
KRAMER: Did you talk to him?

442
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:18,308
He's in a coma.

443
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:21,109
What else?

444
00:30:21,278 --> 00:30:23,355
There's a nurse busting my balls.

445
00:30:23,447 --> 00:30:27,113
Says the kid told his mother he was hit
by a Mercedes, which drove off.

446
00:30:27,201 --> 00:30:29,871
GOLDBERG: Hit-and-run.
RAY: The mother told you this?

447
00:30:29,955 --> 00:30:34,035
MARTIN: She's got a pile of parking tickets
and won't talk to the police.

448
00:30:34,126 --> 00:30:35,501
Why come to us?

449
00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:39,121
You've got an unconscious victim,
no witness, and no driver.

450
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,340
You've got what we call a piece of shit.
Right, Kramer?

451
00:30:43,678 --> 00:30:45,587
What we've got is a problem.

452
00:30:45,805 --> 00:30:47,964
Ever hear of Reverend Bacon?

453
00:30:48,809 --> 00:30:50,848
No, not me, gentlemen.

454
00:30:51,144 --> 00:30:54,146
Kramer, this is all yours. See you later.

455
00:30:56,816 --> 00:30:58,359
Reverend Bacon?

456
00:31:07,703 --> 00:31:09,992
REV. BACON: This is a tragedy!

457
00:31:11,165 --> 00:31:14,369
A fine young man has been struck down.

458
00:31:15,545 --> 00:31:19,709
God-fearing, church-going,
never in trouble...

459
00:31:20,342 --> 00:31:24,340
...graduated from high school,
on his way to college.

460
00:31:24,555 --> 00:31:28,600
Somebody comes along,
some rich white people...

461
00:31:28,893 --> 00:31:31,847
...in a rich white man's car and wham!

462
00:31:34,858 --> 00:31:38,358
They run him down and never even stop.

463
00:31:42,408 --> 00:31:45,078
Now what'll we do
about these parking tickets?

464
00:31:48,707 --> 00:31:51,328
First of all, Reverend.... Is it Reverend?

465
00:31:51,418 --> 00:31:53,909
Is, was and always will be.

466
00:31:55,547 --> 00:31:58,086
First of all, we have no evidence--

467
00:31:58,426 --> 00:32:00,418
This is your evidence!

468
00:32:03,264 --> 00:32:05,720
I'm sorry. I didn't see you.

469
00:32:05,934 --> 00:32:08,935
REV. BACON:
Mrs. Lamb is not speaking to the police.

470
00:32:09,271 --> 00:32:12,142
Until we have proper counsel,
I'll speak for her.

471
00:32:12,608 --> 00:32:14,268
Fine. That's good.

472
00:32:14,568 --> 00:32:19,065
I just want to get a few things straight.
The boy was hit by a car?

473
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,818
On Bruckner Boulevard!

474
00:32:20,909 --> 00:32:24,242
Innocently walking along
minding his own business.

475
00:32:24,454 --> 00:32:26,945
A clear case of hit-and-run.

476
00:32:27,583 --> 00:32:32,126
But there were no witnesses.
Without a witness, you have no case.

477
00:32:32,421 --> 00:32:34,331
You got what he told his mother.

478
00:32:34,423 --> 00:32:35,752
It's hearsay.

479
00:32:35,925 --> 00:32:40,137
You and I may believe it,
but it's not admissible in a court of law.

480
00:32:40,597 --> 00:32:43,432
If this boy was born on Park Avenue...

481
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,766
...and was run down by two niggers
in a Pontiac...

482
00:32:46,936 --> 00:32:49,095
...then you'd have a case, right?

483
00:32:49,230 --> 00:32:51,852
I work Park Avenue
and Bruckner Boulevard.

484
00:32:51,942 --> 00:32:54,184
There's good and bad in both places.

485
00:32:54,278 --> 00:32:56,769
We'll try to help this lady...

486
00:32:56,905 --> 00:32:59,064
...but there's not much to go on.

487
00:33:00,660 --> 00:33:03,329
I want you to make an investment here.

488
00:33:03,621 --> 00:33:06,955
An investment in steam control.

489
00:33:08,001 --> 00:33:09,329
Steam control?

490
00:33:09,836 --> 00:33:11,496
Steam control.

491
00:33:12,172 --> 00:33:16,170
A righteous steam is building up
in the souls of my people.

492
00:33:16,469 --> 00:33:18,794
And that steam is ready to blow!

493
00:33:19,180 --> 00:33:20,460
I see.

494
00:33:21,140 --> 00:33:24,344
On Judgment Day, I am your safety valve.

495
00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:27,306
Because when it blows, and it will...

496
00:33:27,522 --> 00:33:32,149
...how grateful you will be
that I am on your side.

497
00:33:32,361 --> 00:33:37,237
The one nigger who can control
the steam and save your white ass...

498
00:33:37,909 --> 00:33:40,234
...from being burned
off the face of the earth.

499
00:33:40,328 --> 00:33:41,657
So to speak.

500
00:33:45,208 --> 00:33:47,878
Thank you. We'll see what we can do.

501
00:33:48,671 --> 00:33:49,999
Excuse me.

502
00:34:02,394 --> 00:34:04,138
[Whispers] Thank you.

503
00:34:05,189 --> 00:34:06,897
ANNIE LAMB: He said....

504
00:34:07,399 --> 00:34:10,401
He said it started with an "R."

505
00:34:11,529 --> 00:34:14,696
The second letter was an "E"...

506
00:34:15,408 --> 00:34:16,903
...or a "P. "

507
00:34:17,369 --> 00:34:21,996
Those were the first two letters
of the license plate.

508
00:34:22,541 --> 00:34:23,786
[Sighs]

509
00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:27,036
We should move up here.

510
00:34:29,215 --> 00:34:33,212
Have you ever thought about moving out
of New York?

511
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,717
Keep a small place in town.
Save loads of money. What do you think?

512
00:34:39,392 --> 00:34:40,720
About what?

513
00:34:41,436 --> 00:34:43,892
Do you think we could leave New York?

514
00:34:45,690 --> 00:34:47,233
No.

515
00:34:47,568 --> 00:34:48,943
My father did it.

516
00:34:49,236 --> 00:34:51,561
You are not your father.

517
00:34:53,449 --> 00:34:55,608
PETER: She knew how to hurt a guy.

518
00:34:55,910 --> 00:34:58,745
No, he was nothing like his father.

519
00:34:59,622 --> 00:35:03,455
His father, "The Lion of Dunning,
Sponget and Leach. "

520
00:35:03,752 --> 00:35:07,252
His father, who took the subway
to work every day of his life.

521
00:35:07,464 --> 00:35:10,631
His father, who believed
in principles and ethics...

522
00:35:10,968 --> 00:35:15,796
...whose lessons about duty and debt
had whistled through his son's head.

523
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,139
Sherman McCoy was
nothing like his father.

524
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,149
JUDY: What're you looking for
in that paper?

525
00:35:24,650 --> 00:35:26,809
SHERMAN: Nothing. Nothing special.

526
00:35:27,153 --> 00:35:28,813
What's a bond?

527
00:35:29,113 --> 00:35:30,940
Sherman, do explain it.

528
00:35:31,157 --> 00:35:34,324
Yes, your mother and I really want
to hear this.

529
00:35:36,455 --> 00:35:39,824
A bond is a way of lending people money.

530
00:35:40,167 --> 00:35:44,829
Say you want to build a road or a hospital,
and you need a lot of money.

531
00:35:45,131 --> 00:35:47,669
What you do is issue a bond.

532
00:35:48,635 --> 00:35:50,295
Do you build roads?

533
00:35:50,970 --> 00:35:53,462
SHERMAN: No, I don't actually build them.

534
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,384
You're in over your head.

535
00:35:55,642 --> 00:35:57,302
Let me try.

536
00:35:58,020 --> 00:36:02,682
Darling, Daddy doesn't build roads
or hospitals or anything, really.

537
00:36:03,484 --> 00:36:06,651
Daddy handles bonds for the people
who raise the money.

538
00:36:06,863 --> 00:36:09,354
That's what he said. Bonds.

539
00:36:11,326 --> 00:36:15,158
Just imagine that a bond is a slice of cake.

540
00:36:15,873 --> 00:36:18,542
Now, you didn't bake that cake.

541
00:36:18,876 --> 00:36:22,494
But every time you hand a slice
of that cake to somebody else...

542
00:36:22,671 --> 00:36:24,580
...a little piece comes off.

543
00:36:24,673 --> 00:36:26,381
Little crumbs fall off.

544
00:36:26,884 --> 00:36:28,841
Really. Crumbs?

545
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,556
And you are allowed to keep those crumbs.

546
00:36:32,849 --> 00:36:36,514
And many a man has sold his soul
for those little crumbs.

547
00:36:36,728 --> 00:36:38,555
And that's what Daddy does.

548
00:36:38,855 --> 00:36:42,853
Daddy passes somebody else's cake around
and picks up all of the crumbs.

549
00:36:43,527 --> 00:36:48,569
But you have to imagine a lot of crumbs,
and a great big golden cake...

550
00:36:49,075 --> 00:36:51,233
...and a lot of golden crumbs.

551
00:36:52,537 --> 00:36:56,405
And imagine Daddy running around
picking up every little golden crumb...

552
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:57,780
...he can grab.

553
00:36:58,210 --> 00:37:00,535
And that's what Daddy does.

554
00:37:02,214 --> 00:37:04,670
You can call them crumbs if you want to.

555
00:37:04,759 --> 00:37:06,882
I'm doing the best I can.

556
00:37:07,929 --> 00:37:09,423
Excuse me.

557
00:37:18,607 --> 00:37:21,727
In my day, there was some integrity to it.

558
00:37:24,906 --> 00:37:28,904
Now it isn't about anything, is it?
Except the money.

559
00:37:29,411 --> 00:37:32,080
Well, I don't make the rules, so....

560
00:37:32,623 --> 00:37:35,161
All the more reason not to play the game.

561
00:37:38,087 --> 00:37:40,080
We're just having a little....

562
00:37:40,465 --> 00:37:42,457
It's nothing really.

563
00:37:47,139 --> 00:37:50,472
PETER: Up to this point in our story,
I was blissfully ignorant.

564
00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:53,264
I had no idea of the storm
that was gathering.

565
00:37:53,395 --> 00:37:55,353
Never even heard of Sherman McCoy.

566
00:37:55,439 --> 00:37:59,853
Hadn't the faintest notion that soon
his name would be inexorably tied to mine.

567
00:38:00,069 --> 00:38:03,653
That his fate would be inextricably bound
to my own destiny.

568
00:38:03,907 --> 00:38:05,567
I had my own problems...

569
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:09,948
...and I had no idea that Sherman McCoy
was the solution I was looking for.

570
00:38:11,748 --> 00:38:13,242
You're bad!

571
00:38:14,376 --> 00:38:15,835
[Jazz music]

572
00:38:18,172 --> 00:38:20,414
WOMAN: Caroline, you look beautiful!

573
00:38:20,758 --> 00:38:22,217
-You devil.
-You pig.

574
00:38:22,301 --> 00:38:25,255
-Join us for a cocktail.
-No, I'm with someone.

575
00:38:25,763 --> 00:38:27,756
And a pretty someone he is.

576
00:38:29,601 --> 00:38:32,851
Filippo Chirazzi, the artist.
Peter Fallow, the has-been.

577
00:38:32,938 --> 00:38:34,480
Enchanté.

578
00:38:34,773 --> 00:38:36,766
We're crowded this evening.

579
00:38:36,984 --> 00:38:39,819
Why don't you sit on top of Billy Cortez?

580
00:38:40,112 --> 00:38:42,782
I'll see if Caroline will sit on my face.

581
00:38:42,991 --> 00:38:47,452
No thanks. The last time I sat on your face
I got a yeast infection.

582
00:38:47,746 --> 00:38:49,288
[All laugh]

583
00:38:50,958 --> 00:38:52,500
Good evening, Peter.

584
00:38:54,712 --> 00:38:56,040
Good evening.

585
00:38:56,130 --> 00:38:58,800
Don't get up. Do you know my daughter?

586
00:39:00,009 --> 00:39:02,500
Of course. How are you, Evelyn?

587
00:39:02,721 --> 00:39:05,046
This is one of my invisible employees.

588
00:39:05,140 --> 00:39:09,470
One of the many journalists
who supposedly write for my newspaper.

589
00:39:09,812 --> 00:39:11,804
You're very honored to see him.

590
00:39:12,815 --> 00:39:14,013
I rarely do.

591
00:39:16,027 --> 00:39:18,814
PETER: I can explain. Come have a drink--

592
00:39:18,988 --> 00:39:21,147
We're having a private party.

593
00:39:21,533 --> 00:39:25,234
I was at a dinner last evening,
and halfway through the pudding...

594
00:39:25,496 --> 00:39:29,363
...a 4-year-old child came in
dragging a little toy cart.

595
00:39:29,750 --> 00:39:32,372
And on the cart was a fresh turd.

596
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:34,164
Her own, I suppose.

597
00:39:34,380 --> 00:39:37,381
The parents just shook their heads
and smiled.

598
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:40,678
I've made a big investment in you, Peter.

599
00:39:40,887 --> 00:39:43,379
Time and money, and it's not working.

600
00:39:43,766 --> 00:39:46,553
I could just shake my head and smile.

601
00:39:46,894 --> 00:39:49,979
But in my house, when a turd appears,
we deal with it.

602
00:39:50,064 --> 00:39:52,900
We dispose of it. We flush it away.

603
00:39:53,860 --> 00:39:56,695
We don't put it on the table
and call it caviar.

604
00:39:57,072 --> 00:39:59,693
Of course you don't.
I've been working at home.

605
00:39:59,783 --> 00:40:04,279
I'm working on a story that I can't talk
about here. It's a big story.

606
00:40:04,579 --> 00:40:07,284
I sincerely hope so, Peter.

607
00:40:08,208 --> 00:40:10,035
I sincerely hope so.

608
00:40:15,549 --> 00:40:19,382
PETER: It was the end of the road for me.
I could see it coming.

609
00:40:20,430 --> 00:40:22,588
See it coming? It was here.

610
00:40:23,391 --> 00:40:26,428
I'd had my chance and I'd blown it away
in a bottle.

611
00:40:26,728 --> 00:40:29,683
It was over. I had to face up to that fact.

612
00:40:31,942 --> 00:40:33,816
I could go back home.

613
00:40:34,111 --> 00:40:36,318
Small town, small newspaper.

614
00:40:36,739 --> 00:40:39,409
Or I could write a novel or two.

615
00:40:40,076 --> 00:40:42,069
Or I could slit my wrists.

616
00:40:42,329 --> 00:40:47,075
This last idea seemed most appealing,
as it required the least amount of effort.

617
00:40:49,420 --> 00:40:51,413
And then the telephone rang.

618
00:40:52,423 --> 00:40:53,966
[Phone rings]

619
00:40:56,636 --> 00:40:57,751
[Moans] Yeah?

620
00:40:57,846 --> 00:40:59,922
ALBERT: Peter! Albert Fox here.

621
00:41:01,683 --> 00:41:02,882
Peter?

622
00:41:03,185 --> 00:41:04,810
Peter!

623
00:41:06,105 --> 00:41:08,098
Yeah, this is Peter.

624
00:41:08,483 --> 00:41:10,475
You sound terrific.

625
00:41:10,860 --> 00:41:12,485
Any pulse?

626
00:41:13,989 --> 00:41:18,651
ALBERT: I called the paper. No one knew
where you were or who you were.

627
00:41:18,952 --> 00:41:20,660
Anything I should know?

628
00:41:20,788 --> 00:41:23,361
No, I'm just working at home today.

629
00:41:23,624 --> 00:41:27,788
Good. There's something
I want to talk to you about.

630
00:41:28,004 --> 00:41:30,163
There's a hell of a story in it.

631
00:41:30,507 --> 00:41:33,461
Meet me at NBC, studio 4H, 7:00.

632
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,261
Ciao.

633
00:41:35,512 --> 00:41:37,054
Yeah. Ciao.

634
00:41:41,310 --> 00:41:43,718
ALBERT:
You see that Henry Lamb material?

635
00:41:43,813 --> 00:41:45,722
PETER: Yeah, I looked at it.

636
00:41:46,191 --> 00:41:47,733
ALBERT: What do you think?

637
00:41:47,817 --> 00:41:49,146
What do I think?

638
00:41:49,485 --> 00:41:52,652
I think it's an unfortunate situation.

639
00:41:52,989 --> 00:41:54,732
Where's the goddamn story?

640
00:41:54,824 --> 00:41:59,154
A poor, innocent black kid
walking down the street...

641
00:41:59,412 --> 00:42:02,948
...and boom! Hit-and-run.
There's a story in it for somebody.

642
00:42:03,959 --> 00:42:05,952
The black community's up in arms.

643
00:42:06,045 --> 00:42:09,995
And when Reverend Bacon gets a feather
in his ass, the shit flies high.

644
00:42:12,010 --> 00:42:14,216
What's your angle on all this?

645
00:42:15,055 --> 00:42:17,261
What do you stand to get out of it?

646
00:42:18,183 --> 00:42:21,350
I'm a lawyer. I want justice done.

647
00:42:22,855 --> 00:42:25,939
Reverend Bacon is my friend.
It'll be good for him.

648
00:42:26,442 --> 00:42:30,357
And knowing your situation,
I thought if you broke the story--

649
00:42:30,530 --> 00:42:32,024
Wait a minute.

650
00:42:33,950 --> 00:42:36,192
What do you mean, my situation?

651
00:42:39,373 --> 00:42:41,947
Your boss was at my house for dinner.

652
00:42:42,543 --> 00:42:44,121
He said a few things.

653
00:42:44,545 --> 00:42:46,088
[Peter sighs]

654
00:42:46,255 --> 00:42:47,584
I see.

655
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,430
-You have a little daughter?
-Yes, I do.

656
00:42:53,597 --> 00:42:55,720
I bet she has a toy wagon.

657
00:42:55,974 --> 00:42:57,718
Yes, she does. Why?

658
00:42:57,977 --> 00:42:59,601
Got any scotch in that car?

659
00:43:00,605 --> 00:43:02,681
RIFKIN: Henry Lamb. Who's that?

660
00:43:02,899 --> 00:43:06,398
PETER: He was a student of yours
at Ruppert High.

661
00:43:06,611 --> 00:43:08,271
He was? What's he done?

662
00:43:08,572 --> 00:43:11,241
Nothing. He's been seriously injured.

663
00:43:11,617 --> 00:43:13,574
I'm a newspaper reporter.

664
00:43:13,786 --> 00:43:15,363
I don't remember him.

665
00:43:15,496 --> 00:43:17,536
What kind of student was he?

666
00:43:17,623 --> 00:43:20,293
If I don't remember him,
I guess he was okay.

667
00:43:21,127 --> 00:43:22,787
Was he a good student?

668
00:43:23,588 --> 00:43:27,918
Good doesn't apply at Ruppert High.
They're cooperative or life-threatening.

669
00:43:28,802 --> 00:43:31,507
-Wasn't he going to college?
-City College.

670
00:43:32,139 --> 00:43:37,134
If you live in the city, graduate high school,
and breathe, they take you.

671
00:43:39,021 --> 00:43:43,149
What about his performance in class?
Any aptitude, special skills?

672
00:43:44,443 --> 00:43:46,602
I got 65 students in each class.

673
00:43:46,779 --> 00:43:49,531
Tests, homework, any written work?

674
00:43:49,657 --> 00:43:53,952
There hasn't been written work
at Ruppert High for 20 years.

675
00:43:55,330 --> 00:43:57,822
How do you keep track of the kids?

676
00:43:58,042 --> 00:44:00,829
There must be some records.

677
00:44:01,128 --> 00:44:04,213
RIFKIN: You're thinking about
honor students and grades.

678
00:44:04,298 --> 00:44:08,213
We don't make those comparisons.
We just try to keep them off the streets.

679
00:44:08,303 --> 00:44:10,296
At Ruppert, an honor student...

680
00:44:10,472 --> 00:44:14,340
...is somebody who comes to class
and doesn't piss on the teacher.

681
00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:20,850
By that standard...

682
00:44:21,818 --> 00:44:23,976
...was Henry Lamb an honor student?

683
00:44:27,073 --> 00:44:28,532
He never pissed on me.

684
00:44:28,825 --> 00:44:33,488
SHERMAN: No, you're exaggerating
the situation. The franc is no problem.

685
00:44:34,081 --> 00:44:38,708
We can hedge that to next January,
to the term or to both, whatever.

686
00:44:39,879 --> 00:44:42,086
I don't think that's necessary.

687
00:44:43,008 --> 00:44:44,882
[Classical music]

688
00:44:46,011 --> 00:44:49,178
Look, Bernard, we've had our share of....

689
00:44:49,682 --> 00:44:55,602
Hell, I wouldn't even call them...problems,
so let's not work ourselves up...

690
00:44:55,897 --> 00:44:58,222
...into a...coma.

691
00:44:58,525 --> 00:45:00,517
Jesus Christ, let me see that!

692
00:45:00,735 --> 00:45:02,396
No, not you, Bernard.

693
00:45:11,914 --> 00:45:14,869

00:55:54,822 --> 00:55:56,103
Going up?

862
00:55:56,324 --> 00:55:58,780
Yeah. Yes, yes, I will.

863
00:55:59,285 --> 00:56:00,614
Should we...?

864
00:56:00,787 --> 00:56:03,325
-Is it bad time for you?
-No, no....

865
00:56:06,126 --> 00:56:08,084
We just have a few questions.

866
00:56:08,629 --> 00:56:11,547
-Was your car in use the night it happened?
-When?

867
00:56:11,716 --> 00:56:13,210
Tuesday, a week ago.

868
00:56:13,301 --> 00:56:15,210
Let me think.

869
00:56:15,345 --> 00:56:17,302
Anybody else use your car?

870
00:56:17,514 --> 00:56:19,341
My wife sometimes.

871
00:56:19,641 --> 00:56:20,922
The men at the garage.

872
00:56:21,018 --> 00:56:24,101
Parking garage? You leave your car
and they park it?

873
00:56:24,312 --> 00:56:26,518
Can we go see it?

874
00:56:27,857 --> 00:56:29,518
The car? Now?

875
00:56:29,734 --> 00:56:33,353
Since we're here.
There's certain things to look for.

876
00:56:33,655 --> 00:56:36,491
We don't find them, we're out of your hair.

877
00:56:36,742 --> 00:56:38,865
So you want to look at the car?

878
00:56:39,370 --> 00:56:41,162
I see. I see.

879
00:56:41,372 --> 00:56:46,331
We don't have a description of a driver,
so we have to look for the car.

880
00:56:46,670 --> 00:56:50,004
We're sorry for the inconvenience,
but it's routine.

881
00:56:50,174 --> 00:56:51,549
I understand.

882
00:56:51,842 --> 00:56:57,133
But if there is a routine,
then I ought to follow the routine...

883
00:56:57,223 --> 00:57:01,173
...that's appropriate to me,
to someone with a car in this situation.

884
00:57:01,269 --> 00:57:02,348
You see?

885
00:57:03,355 --> 00:57:05,347
No, I don't follow.

886
00:57:06,066 --> 00:57:09,767
If there's a routine
in an investigation like this...

887
00:57:10,029 --> 00:57:13,694
...there must also be a routine
for a person like me.

888
00:57:14,909 --> 00:57:17,780
For the owner of a car
with a license number.

889
00:57:18,037 --> 00:57:20,077
That's what I need to consider.

890
00:57:20,916 --> 00:57:22,410
The routine.

891
00:57:23,585 --> 00:57:25,792
We just want to look at your car.

892
00:57:26,714 --> 00:57:28,920
That's what I mean. You see?

893
00:57:29,675 --> 00:57:30,505
No.

894
00:57:31,427 --> 00:57:33,669
GOLDBERG: Excuse me, Mr. McCoy.

895
00:57:34,389 --> 00:57:36,547
Do you want to tell us something?

896
00:57:36,641 --> 00:57:37,673
No.

897
00:57:39,061 --> 00:57:40,555
How do you mean?

898
00:57:41,063 --> 00:57:44,397
I mean, if there is,
now is the time to tell us.

899
00:57:44,567 --> 00:57:46,559
Before things get complicated.

900
00:57:46,652 --> 00:57:48,028
No, no, no....

901
00:57:48,112 --> 00:57:51,066
I just think that to be certain...

902
00:57:51,324 --> 00:57:54,409
...to be safe, sure, I think--

903
00:57:56,913 --> 00:58:00,912
If you want to cooperate, that'd be great.

904
00:58:02,419 --> 00:58:04,993
If you have a reason not to cooperate...

905
00:58:05,089 --> 00:58:08,755
...you don't have to say anything.
That's your right.

906
00:58:08,927 --> 00:58:11,632
If you want, you can say nothing at all.

907
00:58:12,346 --> 00:58:14,754
You also have the right to an attorney.

908
00:58:15,099 --> 00:58:17,258
For that matter...

909
00:58:17,852 --> 00:58:20,474
...if you lack funds for an attorney...

910
00:58:20,772 --> 00:58:23,857
...the state will provide you
with one free of charge.

911
00:58:24,609 --> 00:58:26,401
If that's what you wanted.

912
00:58:30,157 --> 00:58:32,613
I think what I should do is...

913
00:58:35,663 --> 00:58:37,455
...talk to an attorney.

914
00:58:38,541 --> 00:58:41,115
GOLDBERG: So I casually read him
his rights.

915
00:58:41,294 --> 00:58:44,082
MARTIN: Then he sits down
on the guy's desk.

916
00:58:44,173 --> 00:58:47,708
And his eyes get bigger
and he starts double-talking like crazy.

917
00:58:47,802 --> 00:58:49,878
I know that there's something there.

918
00:58:49,971 --> 00:58:52,343
KRAMER: Mr. Weiss, I think we got him.

919
00:58:54,017 --> 00:58:55,132
Got who?

920
00:58:55,393 --> 00:58:57,386
Sherman McCoy. We got him.

921
00:58:57,646 --> 00:58:59,140
You think it's him?

922
00:58:59,815 --> 00:59:02,484
It's him! This guy is Park Avenue.

923
00:59:02,651 --> 00:59:07,314
His father ran Dunning, Sponget and Leach.
His wife is a socialite.

924
00:59:07,406 --> 00:59:09,898
Does this put an end
to this white-justice shit?

925
00:59:09,993 --> 00:59:11,820
We have zip on him.

926
00:59:11,995 --> 00:59:15,245
We could bring him in for questioning,
then go public.

927
00:59:16,166 --> 00:59:20,116
Go public? With what?
The only witness is in a coma, likely to die.

928
00:59:20,671 --> 00:59:23,162
Don't listen. You got a speech to make.

929
00:59:23,549 --> 00:59:26,171
Send a signal to the poor people
of the city.

930
00:59:26,344 --> 00:59:28,087
Let them know justice is blind.

931
00:59:28,179 --> 00:59:32,427
Let them know that rich whites
get the same treatment as poor blacks.

932
00:59:32,559 --> 00:59:34,682
You must give the people hope.

933
00:59:35,354 --> 00:59:37,679
You mean, we nail the WASP?

934
00:59:37,940 --> 00:59:39,518
To the wall.

935
00:59:41,944 --> 00:59:43,736
I like this man.

936
00:59:45,073 --> 00:59:47,908
So I tell him, "I'm your lawyer
from Legal Aid."

937
00:59:48,034 --> 00:59:52,115
He says, "I don't want a nigger lawyer.
I want a Jew."

938
00:59:52,372 --> 00:59:53,452
Nice guy.

939
00:59:53,540 --> 00:59:58,167
-It's his third drug arrest. He wants a deal.
-He'll say he was at the scene?

940
00:59:58,462 --> 01:00:01,083
He'll say whatever you want him to say.

941
01:00:01,590 --> 01:00:05,754
Get me Andruitti. Tell him it's urgent
about this Lamb shit.

942
01:00:06,220 --> 01:00:10,966
Suppose this other fellow comes forward.
There was another fellow. He was big--

943
01:00:11,392 --> 01:00:16,102
I believe you. It was a set-up.
They were going to rob you.

944
01:00:16,398 --> 01:00:19,067
He has good reasons not to come forward.

945
01:00:19,276 --> 01:00:21,399
Now, you just sit tight.

946
01:00:22,071 --> 01:00:26,567
Look, you were recommended
as the best criminal lawyer around.

947
01:00:26,784 --> 01:00:29,240
But I didn't come here to....

948
01:00:29,579 --> 01:00:33,791
I want to preempt this situation.
I don't want it to go any further.

949
01:00:34,418 --> 01:00:35,698
What does that mean?

950
01:00:35,794 --> 01:00:38,001
I want to take the initiative.

951
01:00:38,255 --> 01:00:40,711
I want to go to the police with Maria...

952
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,801
...with Mrs. Ruskin,
and tell them what happened.

953
01:00:44,095 --> 01:00:47,760
I feel morally certain
that what we did was right...

954
01:00:48,016 --> 01:00:50,009
...in the circumstances we were in.

955
01:00:50,101 --> 01:00:51,477

956
01:00:51,561 --> 01:00:54,397
Yeah, you Wall Street honchos
are real gamblers.

957
01:00:57,151 --> 01:00:59,144
What are you, nuts?

958
01:00:59,946 --> 01:01:02,271
They will devour you.

959
01:01:02,532 --> 01:01:04,110
-Eat you alive.
-Why?

960
01:01:04,784 --> 01:01:07,157
Forget that it's a political football.

961
01:01:07,287 --> 01:01:10,324
Forget about the TV and Reverend Bacon...

962
01:01:10,624 --> 01:01:12,949
...and Weiss's upcoming election.

963
01:01:13,168 --> 01:01:17,546
Remember that everyday, the Bronx DA
prosecutes people with names...

964
01:01:17,799 --> 01:01:20,634
...like Tiffany Latour, Sancho Rodriguez...

965
01:01:21,469 --> 01:01:24,673
...Chong Wong and Shabazz Tamali.

966
01:01:24,973 --> 01:01:29,801
So he's dying to get his hands on a nice
white couple like you and Mrs. Ruskin.

967
01:01:30,479 --> 01:01:32,353
I mean, Biscuit City.

968
01:01:32,648 --> 01:01:35,186
Open your mouth and they will arrest you.

969
01:01:35,318 --> 01:01:39,945
They will make a big show of the arrest.
It will be very unpleasant. Guaranteed.

970
01:01:40,031 --> 01:01:41,111
[Phone rings]

971
01:01:41,199 --> 01:01:44,284
And you don't want to be arrested
in the South Bronx.

972
01:01:48,666 --> 01:01:50,159
Put him on.

973
01:01:51,084 --> 01:01:52,199
I'll hold.

974
01:01:52,502 --> 01:01:55,076
I'll need to talk to Mrs. Ruskin too.

975
01:01:56,715 --> 01:01:58,673
I understand you went to Yale.

976
01:01:59,343 --> 01:02:01,170
Yeah. You too?

977
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,258
What did you think of it?

978
01:02:04,349 --> 01:02:07,516
It was okay, as law schools go.

979
01:02:07,727 --> 01:02:10,349
They give you the scholarly view.

980
01:02:10,605 --> 01:02:15,398
And it's good for anything you want to do
that doesn't involve real people.

981
01:02:18,030 --> 01:02:20,403
Andruitti, you guinea bastard!

982
01:02:25,539 --> 01:02:28,706
I'm sitting here with Mr. Sherman McCoy.

983
01:02:33,923 --> 01:02:37,043
I don't know if he needs a lawyer.
What do you think?

984
01:02:39,554 --> 01:02:41,547
Okay. So what does that mean?

985
01:02:44,768 --> 01:02:46,844
[Laughs] Yeah, yeah....

986
01:02:50,065 --> 01:02:51,774
We got a problem.

987
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:54,361
What is it?

988
01:02:54,737 --> 01:02:56,647
They're going to arrest you.

989

PETER: While Sherman faced catastrophe
in his career and in his marriage...

990
01:03:02,913 --> 01:03:07,077
...and while the police were circling,
while his life hung in the balance...

991
01:03:07,168 --> 01:03:09,160
...Sherman went to the opera.

Yes.

999
01:04:35,263 --> 01:04:37,589
Have you met Aubrey Buffing, the poet?

1000
01:04:37,683 --> 01:04:40,850
He's up for the Nobel Prize. He has AIDS.

full of boiling teeth.

Past the conversational bouquets.

01:19:01,205 --> 01:19:03,494
Not for the last million years.

1206
01:19:05,627 --> 01:19:08,996
My father rode the subway
every day of his life.

1207
01:19:11,634 --> 01:19:14,469
He didn't live in the South Bronx, though.

1208
01:19:15,596 --> 01:19:16,841
No....

1209
01:19:19,475 --> 01:19:20,970
I look terrible.

1210
01:19:22,604 --> 01:19:24,098
You look like shit.

1211
01:19:25,148 --> 01:19:27,770
PETER: You don't smell good, either.

1212
01:19:32,865 --> 01:19:36,531
I think when I was in jail
I pissed in my pants.

1213
01:19:46,213 --> 01:19:47,672
[Sherman sobs]

1214
01:19:50,259 --> 01:19:51,884
Take it easy.

1215
01:19:52,053 --> 01:19:54,010
SHERMAN: I'm all right.

1216
01:19:55,265 --> 01:19:56,640
I can't think.

1217
01:19:57,476 --> 01:19:59,018
Cheer yourself up.

1218
01:20:08,487 --> 01:20:09,898
SHERMAN: Thank you.

1219
01:20:09,988 --> 01:20:11,399
Your welcome.

1220
01:20:18,706 --> 01:20:22,075
Then this newspaper thing started.
This Peter Fallow.

1221
01:20:22,377 --> 01:20:26,209
Everything was wrong.
Total disregard for the truth.

1222
01:20:26,423 --> 01:20:27,834
This is your stop.

1223
01:20:27,925 --> 01:20:32,552
Everyone calls me by my first name,
like they know me. Like they own me.

1224
01:20:32,805 --> 01:20:37,598
Lawyers, police, newspapers.
How did I get to be so important?

1225
01:20:37,936 --> 01:20:41,934
You're not important. You're dinner.
Don't you get it?

1226
01:20:42,149 --> 01:20:45,352
A week from now,
they won't even remember what they ate.

1227
01:20:46,737 --> 01:20:48,730
Thank you for everything.

1228
01:20:48,948 --> 01:20:53,824
I should have just called the police
right away. Right when it happened.

1229
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:57,324
But it really wasn't my decision to make.

1230
01:20:57,582 --> 01:20:59,326
I wasn't driving the car.

1231
01:21:01,503 --> 01:21:03,994
INTERCOM: Stand clear of the doors,
please.

1232
01:21:04,089 --> 01:21:06,378
PETER: Sherman, wait a minute!

1233
01:21:07,927 --> 01:21:09,587
[Chaotic yelling]

1234
01:21:10,972 --> 01:21:13,130
POLLARD: It's going to be fine.

1235
01:21:15,310 --> 01:21:17,184
[Protesters yelling]

1236
01:21:23,736 --> 01:21:25,527
[Dramatic classical music]

1237
01:21:52,642 --> 01:21:55,215
PROTESTER: What do we want?
PROTESTERS: Justice!

1238
01:21:55,311 --> 01:21:58,229
PROTESTER: What do we get?
PROTESTERS: Racism!

1239
01:21:58,314 --> 01:22:00,391
[Chanting continues]

1240
01:22:17,544 --> 01:22:20,711
BOBBY: It's Sherman! A bravo, everybody!

1241
01:22:35,063 --> 01:22:38,515
You sly fox. Don't let the newspapers
keep you down.

1242
01:22:38,692 --> 01:22:40,851
The press are bloody fruit flies.

1243
01:22:41,028 --> 01:22:43,602
They hover over the feces.
Just swipe them away.

1244
01:22:43,698 --> 01:22:45,572
But they always come back to the shit.

1245
01:22:45,658 --> 01:22:46,773
[Laughter]

1246
01:22:46,868 --> 01:22:49,026
I always thought you were dull.

1247
01:22:54,751 --> 01:22:56,246
Congratulations.

1248
01:22:56,962 --> 01:22:59,963
Has anybody talked to you
about television?

1249
01:23:00,216 --> 01:23:03,466
We'd have to play down the racial thing.

1250
01:23:03,594 --> 01:23:05,967
Kind of make you more sympathetic.

1251
01:23:06,389 --> 01:23:11,098
I know I'm first, but I wanted to be there
before the corpse was cold.

1252
01:23:11,728 --> 01:23:13,187
$200,000.

1253
01:23:13,272 --> 01:23:15,763
-I beg your pardon?
-Fuck my pardon.

1254
01:23:16,066 --> 01:23:18,474
I'll suck your dick for the rights. $250,000.

1255
01:23:18,569 --> 01:23:22,781
A book, a mini-series. $500,000.
Go to jail, double.

1256
01:23:23,074 --> 01:23:26,075
-Is that a great blow job or what?
-Excuse me!

1257
01:23:28,246 --> 01:23:30,120
[Greetings exchanged]

1258
01:23:32,751 --> 01:23:35,159
Didn't mean anything to interrupt anything.

1259
01:23:35,254 --> 01:23:37,081
Gene asked me to come by.

1260
01:23:38,257 --> 01:23:40,499
I haven't talked with anyone yet.

1261
01:23:40,634 --> 01:23:42,923
If there's anything we can do....

1262
01:23:44,764 --> 01:23:47,089
I'll be back to work in a day or two.

1263
01:23:47,266 --> 01:23:51,264
That won't be necessary.
That's what I was sent to....

1264
01:23:51,521 --> 01:23:53,015
You don't have to.

1265
01:23:53,773 --> 01:23:56,609
I mean, you shouldn't come down.

1266
01:23:57,778 --> 01:24:00,020
They don't want you to come down.

1267
01:24:01,115 --> 01:24:02,942
Sherman, I'm sorry.

1268
01:24:03,284 --> 01:24:06,534
Between this and the way you handled
the Giscard deal....

1269
01:24:06,621 --> 01:24:09,788
-I mean, $600,000,000 is a--
-This is final?

1270
01:24:10,041 --> 01:24:12,330
Well, the firm feels that....

1271
01:24:13,545 --> 01:24:14,956
I'm sorry.

1272
01:24:34,693 --> 01:24:37,267
SHERMAN: Judy, could we....
What's going on?

1273
01:24:37,363 --> 01:24:42,191
This dinner party was planned weeks ago,
if you bothered to check your calendar.

1274
01:24:44,079 --> 01:24:45,870
Under the circumstances--

1275
01:24:45,956 --> 01:24:49,325
I know the whole story.
I saw it on television.

1276
01:24:51,170 --> 01:24:53,661
I'm sorry. Judy, I am.

1277
01:24:54,215 --> 01:24:58,083
You betrayed us. Me. Campbell.
Even yourself.

1278
01:24:58,595 --> 01:25:03,091
But I'm chairing the museum benefit
thanks to your escapades.

1279
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,723
What can I say? Life goes on.

1280
01:25:06,019 --> 01:25:09,305
JUDY: I'll make the best
of an appalling situation.

1281
01:25:09,690 --> 01:25:11,849
Can you forgive me?

1282
01:25:15,113 --> 01:25:19,609
I suppose I can forgive anything,
but not television.

1283
01:25:21,411 --> 01:25:22,870
I'm leaving you.

1284
01:25:25,708 --> 01:25:27,202
After the party.

1285
01:25:28,044 --> 01:25:30,878
Now if you will excuse me,
we have guests.

1286
01:25:34,758 --> 01:25:38,756
I'm terribly sorry to bother you.
Is this a bad time?

1287
01:25:40,932 --> 01:25:41,963
No.

1288
01:25:43,059 --> 01:25:44,637
The more the merrier.

1289
01:25:44,769 --> 01:25:47,557
I've been in touch with the co-op board.

1290
01:25:47,773 --> 01:25:50,643
We want you to know
you have our support.

1291
01:25:50,734 --> 01:25:52,276
Oh, thank you!

1292
01:25:52,570 --> 01:25:54,562
You know, I wanted to die...

1293
01:25:54,780 --> 01:25:58,150
...with everybody calling my name
in that courtroom.

1294
01:25:58,409 --> 01:26:00,367
Of course. It's hard to believe.

1295
01:26:00,453 --> 01:26:03,787
And then I thought, "I have a gun."

1296
01:26:05,417 --> 01:26:07,410
A 12-gauge, pump action.

1297
01:26:07,669 --> 01:26:09,709
We've known each other a long time.

1298
01:26:09,797 --> 01:26:13,000
POLLARD: We went to Buckley together.
My father knew your father.

1299
01:26:13,092 --> 01:26:15,963
I speak as a friend and also for the board.

1300
01:26:16,179 --> 01:26:18,504
How do I get the barrels into my mouth?

1301
01:26:18,598 --> 01:26:21,303
How am I going to pull the trigger?

1302
01:26:21,476 --> 01:26:24,810
I read about a man who took off his shoe...

1303
01:26:25,105 --> 01:26:27,513
...and pulled the trigger with his toe.

1304
01:26:29,819 --> 01:26:32,524
This can't be a comfortable situation
for you.

1305
01:26:35,700 --> 01:26:36,945
Is that a gun?

1306
01:26:37,035 --> 01:26:39,526
[Protesters chanting, background]

1307
01:26:39,997 --> 01:26:41,705
Where would I do it?

1308
01:26:42,332 --> 01:26:44,491
And who would find me?

1309
01:26:44,835 --> 01:26:46,495
Yes, exactly.

1310
01:26:46,796 --> 01:26:48,623
Have you considered...

1311
01:26:49,632 --> 01:26:51,791
...changing residence for a while?

1312
01:26:55,013 --> 01:26:56,638
You want me to leave?

1313
01:27:00,144 --> 01:27:01,721
This is my home.

1314
01:27:02,730 --> 01:27:07,024
I have no safe place to go.
People are threatening my life.

1315
01:27:07,485 --> 01:27:09,110
I must protect myself.

1316
01:27:11,281 --> 01:27:16,109
People are demonstrating out front.
Black people with basketballs.

1317
01:27:16,286 --> 01:27:18,444
You're putting everyone at risk!

1318
01:27:18,538 --> 01:27:21,243
It's not your fault. But that's the fact.

1319
01:27:21,541 --> 01:27:24,032
If you're so scared, you move out.

1320
01:27:25,003 --> 01:27:25,999
Please.

1321
01:27:26,547 --> 01:27:27,745
Start...

1322
01:27:28,757 --> 01:27:31,165
...by moving out of my apartment now.

1323
01:27:31,344 --> 01:27:33,336
I came here in good faith.

1324
01:27:34,180 --> 01:27:35,343
Now, out!

1325
01:27:37,392 --> 01:27:40,013
You were a fat blowhard at Buckley...

1326
01:27:40,187 --> 01:27:42,310
...and you're a fat blowhard now!

1327
01:27:42,397 --> 01:27:45,564
I'll enforce the provision
on unacceptable situations.

1328
01:27:45,859 --> 01:27:50,189
Another word and you'll have
an unacceptable situation up your ass!

1329
01:27:51,699 --> 01:27:53,028
March!

1330
01:27:53,117 --> 01:27:54,991
[Scattered laughter]

1331
01:27:59,291 --> 01:28:02,411
That goes for the rest of you too! Out!

1332
01:28:13,056 --> 01:28:14,883
SHERMAN: I said, "Get out!"

1333
01:28:14,975 --> 01:28:16,386
[Chaotic yelling]

1334
01:28:18,437 --> 01:28:20,809
Parasites! Everybody out!

1335
01:28:21,107 --> 01:28:24,440
Out of my house! Out of my apartment!

1336
01:28:27,071 --> 01:28:28,447
Out of my life!

1337
01:28:28,531 --> 01:28:29,776
[Gunshot]

1338
01:28:33,745 --> 01:28:36,237
[Shouts] Sherman McCoy is dead!

1339
01:28:36,624 --> 01:28:40,324
Sherman McCoy of Park Avenue
and Wall Street...

1340
01:28:40,836 --> 01:28:42,082
[Gunshot]

1341
01:28:42,422 --> 01:28:46,883
...will never be Sherman McCoy again!

1342
01:28:52,641 --> 01:28:57,350
PETER: Meanwhile,just a few blocks away,
I was being praised and congratulated.

1343
01:28:57,772 --> 01:29:00,773
It should have been
a triumphant yours truly...

1344
01:29:01,150 --> 01:29:02,561
...but it wasn't.

1345
01:29:03,278 --> 01:29:06,943
My encounter with the real
Sherman McCoy was spoiling everything.

1346
01:29:07,615 --> 01:29:09,275
Truth has a way of doing that.

1347
01:29:09,367 --> 01:29:10,945
Daddy, dinner.

1348
01:29:11,119 --> 01:29:15,117
-Yes. Shall we take Peter with us?
-Lovely.

1349
01:29:15,373 --> 01:29:18,291
Pay full attention to this story.

1350
01:29:18,502 --> 01:29:21,954
We look better and better
the more we do for the Lambs.

1351
01:29:22,131 --> 01:29:24,503
These poor little Lambs.

1352
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,292
These fuzzy-wuzzy little wogs!

1353
01:29:27,387 --> 01:29:28,632
[Laughter]

1354
01:29:31,391 --> 01:29:33,965
Phone call for you in the office.

1355
01:29:34,978 --> 01:29:38,679
Thank you. I'm expecting a call
about the story.

1356
01:29:39,024 --> 01:29:41,812
I'll see you at dinner. Thank you.

1357
01:29:59,338 --> 01:30:00,963
PETER: Where's the phone?

1358
01:30:01,049 --> 01:30:02,543
CAROLINE: I lied.

1359
01:30:03,343 --> 01:30:05,668
I wanted to see you alone.

1360
01:30:05,762 --> 01:30:06,960
[Door locks]

1361
01:30:07,055 --> 01:30:09,546
I'm going to do you a favor.

1362
01:30:09,933 --> 01:30:13,219
PETER: Does this mean I'll finally get
into your panties?

1363
01:30:16,232 --> 01:30:18,853
You don't deserve this, Peter.

1364
01:30:18,943 --> 01:30:20,402
[Peter cackles]

1365
01:30:21,446 --> 01:30:23,652
CAROLINE: I'm going to tell you
something.

1366
01:30:23,740 --> 01:30:26,528
PETER: I'm with some people right outside.

1367
01:30:28,579 --> 01:30:30,239
Relax, darling.

1368
01:30:30,331 --> 01:30:31,576
[Peter laughs]

1369
01:30:33,584 --> 01:30:35,043
Do you remember...

1370
01:30:35,545 --> 01:30:40,041
...my pretty little Italian friend?
The painter.

1371
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,465
Frederico. No. Franco.

1372
01:30:44,721 --> 01:30:46,180
CAROLINE: Filippo.

1373
01:30:46,265 --> 01:30:47,759
The shit.

1374
01:30:49,977 --> 01:30:52,053
PETER: You are very intoxicated.

1375
01:30:54,065 --> 01:30:58,561
Filippo has run off with a little slut
you should know about.

1376
01:31:02,532 --> 01:31:04,109
Isn't that dangerous?

1377
01:31:06,494 --> 01:31:08,404
At the very least, unsanitary?

1378
01:31:08,497 --> 01:31:10,240
CAROLINE: Shut up, Peter.

1379
01:31:10,415 --> 01:31:12,075
You're not listening.

1380
01:31:12,417 --> 01:31:16,416
Her name is Maria Ruskin.

1381
01:31:18,299 --> 01:31:20,790
She was subletting my apartment.

1382
01:31:24,014 --> 01:31:26,587
She was also subletting Filippo.

1383
01:31:29,937 --> 01:31:31,597
As it turns out...

1384
01:31:32,314 --> 01:31:37,273
...she was in the car with Sherman McCoy
when he had his little mishap.

1385
01:31:40,156 --> 01:31:41,781
You're joking.

1386
01:31:42,033 --> 01:31:43,611
I never joke.

1387
01:31:45,829 --> 01:31:48,155
CAROLINE: She was in the bloody car.

1388
01:31:50,835 --> 01:31:52,163
How do you know?

1389
01:31:54,047 --> 01:31:56,253
CAROLINE: The apartment was bugged.

1390
01:31:57,550 --> 01:31:59,627
They had a wire in the intercom.

1391
01:32:01,304 --> 01:32:04,674
CAROLINE: They wanted to prove
I wasn't living there.

1392
01:32:05,809 --> 01:32:07,304
Which I wasn't.

1393
01:32:09,146 --> 01:32:12,847
Now I've lost the apartment
and the boyfriend.

1394
01:32:16,196 --> 01:32:18,023
Do you know where they are?

1395
01:32:18,115 --> 01:32:19,146
No.

1396
01:32:24,497 --> 01:32:27,700
I am trusting you to find them.

1397
01:32:31,379 --> 01:32:32,873
When you do...

1398
01:32:33,715 --> 01:32:35,507
...give them this.

1399
01:32:37,386 --> 01:32:41,170
Tell them it's from the little twat
who turned them in.

1400
01:32:42,975 --> 01:32:46,557
PETER: Thank you for seeing me
on such short notice, Mr. Ruskin.

1401
01:32:46,770 --> 01:32:48,099
Peter Fallow.

1402
01:32:48,272 --> 01:32:50,893
I'm a good friend of your wife.

1403
01:32:51,066 --> 01:32:52,727
My wife. My wife.

1404
01:32:53,069 --> 01:32:56,734
I'm glad she's not here.
Otherwise I couldn't have a drink.

1405
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,574
A Courvoisier VSOP. Put it in a sidecar.

1406
01:33:00,785 --> 01:33:01,900
Where is Maria?

1407
01:33:01,995 --> 01:33:04,617
Italy. She's always in Italy.

1408
01:33:04,915 --> 01:33:07,406
She's young. She needs young people.

1409
01:33:07,585 --> 01:33:09,412
I know what goes on.

1410
01:33:09,587 --> 01:33:11,626
I'll want to talk to her.

1411
01:33:11,797 --> 01:33:13,541
My office has her number.

1412
01:33:15,802 --> 01:33:20,014
I'm not supposed to drink,
but I love a sidecar.

1413
01:33:20,265 --> 01:33:22,424
So you're on The City Light?

1414
01:33:23,018 --> 01:33:27,099
We're profiling the new tycoons.
Naturally, we thought of you.

1415
01:33:27,440 --> 01:33:29,646
Good. Good. I like that.

1416
01:33:30,026 --> 01:33:33,027
New tycoons. What do you want to know?

1417
01:33:34,948 --> 01:33:37,653
RUSKIN: The best one happened
a few weeks ago.

1418
01:33:39,453 --> 01:33:42,953
My jackass pilot lands long
and the plane goes off the runway.

1419
01:33:43,124 --> 01:33:44,832
I was on the plane.

1420
01:33:45,126 --> 01:33:48,958
We were going to Mecca.
The plane is full of Arabs with animals.

1421
01:33:49,172 --> 01:33:53,550
Goats, sheep, chickens. They don't
go anywhere without their animals.

1422
01:33:53,844 --> 01:33:57,842
We had to put plastic in the cabins.
They urinate, they defecate.

1423
01:33:58,140 --> 01:34:03,562
Anyway, the plane goes off the runway
and lands into that sand with a jolt!

1424
01:34:03,813 --> 01:34:08,559
The right wing tip digs into the sand
and spins around in a circle.

1425
01:34:08,985 --> 01:34:12,818
Three hundred and sixty degrees.
I'm scared shitless. Panic!

1426
01:34:13,323 --> 01:34:17,321
I look in the cabin. In there, calm, quiet...

1427
01:34:17,661 --> 01:34:20,663
...they're picking up their luggage
and animals...

1428
01:34:20,873 --> 01:34:24,373
...and looking out the window
at a little fire on the wings.

1429
01:34:24,586 --> 01:34:28,169
They're waiting for the doors
to open like nothing happened!

1430
01:34:28,382 --> 01:34:30,090
Then it dawns on me.

1431
01:34:30,384 --> 01:34:32,211
They think it's normal!

1432
01:34:32,302 --> 01:34:33,548
[Coughs]

1433
01:34:34,388 --> 01:34:36,344
That's how you stop a plane!

1434
01:34:36,598 --> 01:34:39,932
Stick the wing in the sand
and let it spin until it stops!

1435
01:34:40,018 --> 01:34:41,263
[Cackles]

1436
01:34:42,396 --> 01:34:43,855
[Sputters]

1437
01:34:45,024 --> 01:34:48,358
They'd never been on a plane before!
What do they know?

1438
01:34:48,694 --> 01:34:50,853
They think this is how you do it!

1439
01:34:51,364 --> 01:34:52,609
[Chokes]

1440
01:34:58,956 --> 01:35:00,415
Mr. Ruskin?

1441
01:35:09,050 --> 01:35:10,379
Mrs. Ruskin?

1442
01:35:10,635 --> 01:35:14,051
I'm Peter Fallow.
I want to express my sympathies.

1443
01:35:14,264 --> 01:35:15,924
How very kind.

1444
01:35:16,266 --> 01:35:17,891
Did you know Arthur?

1445
01:35:18,060 --> 01:35:21,145
Actually, I was quite close to him
when he died.

1446
01:35:23,066 --> 01:35:27,894
I have reprobated myself,
over and over again, for not being there.

1447
01:35:28,238 --> 01:35:31,405
I understand that
you're Sherman McCoy's lover.

1448
01:35:31,742 --> 01:35:32,856
Excuse me?

1449
01:35:32,951 --> 01:35:37,448
And that you were driving the car
on the night of that unfortunate accident.

1450
01:35:37,748 --> 01:35:41,663
-Sherman would never tell you that.
-Tell me what happened that night.

1451
01:35:41,753 --> 01:35:44,244
Listen, Mr. Peckerhead.

1452
01:35:44,673 --> 01:35:47,958
I am here for my husband's funeral.
Understand?

1453
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:51,297
Go away. Disappear. Disintegrate.

1454
01:35:54,308 --> 01:35:58,306
PETER: Yes, yes, yes.
This story was getting better every day.

1455
01:35:58,813 --> 01:36:00,272
I could smell it.

1456
01:36:00,523 --> 01:36:02,896
Hell, some of it was even true.

1457
01:36:02,984 --> 01:36:04,229
[Chuckles]

1458
01:36:04,319 --> 01:36:07,819
I was back on track.
I was a reporter again.

1459
01:36:12,620 --> 01:36:15,787
You're a muckraking yellow journalist!

1460
01:36:15,957 --> 01:36:20,619
You print this story without so much
as a by-your-leave to me or the Reverend.

1461
01:36:21,004 --> 01:36:22,629
Who do you think you are?

1462
01:36:22,714 --> 01:36:24,753
PETER: For chrissakes, calm down.

1463
01:36:24,841 --> 01:36:27,628
ANNIE LAMB: You have to keep
your voices down.

1464
01:36:29,638 --> 01:36:33,718
Sherman McCoy was not driving the car.
I think I can prove it.

1465
01:36:33,851 --> 01:36:34,882
So what?

1466
01:36:34,977 --> 01:36:38,845
This is our case. Right here.
The hospital is the guilty party.

1467
01:36:39,315 --> 01:36:40,643
The hospital?

1468
01:36:40,858 --> 01:36:44,856
The hospital. A young man comes in
with a cerebral concussion.

1469
01:36:45,155 --> 01:36:46,946
They treat him for a broken wrist.

1470
01:36:47,032 --> 01:36:51,244
That is our case. That is the lawsuit
we'll bring against the hospital.

1471
01:36:51,495 --> 01:36:55,327
That is what we have been
working toward all this time.

1472
01:36:55,541 --> 01:36:58,246
And you are confusing the issue.

1473
01:36:59,337 --> 01:37:01,330
What about Sherman McCoy?

1474
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:03,417
What about the truth?

1475
01:37:03,550 --> 01:37:05,044
Congratulations.

1476
01:37:05,886 --> 01:37:07,843
You're a reporter again.

1477
01:37:09,014 --> 01:37:11,684
Don't forget where your story came from.

1478
01:37:12,017 --> 01:37:14,853
REV. BACON: That's right.
You our boy, Peter.

1479
01:37:15,396 --> 01:37:18,350
You take care of us
and we'll take care of you.

1480
01:37:18,775 --> 01:37:23,936
I promise you that is going
to be a very profitable relationship...

1481
01:37:24,364 --> 01:37:26,357
...for all of us.

1482
01:37:26,450 --> 01:37:27,778
[Sobbing]

1483
01:37:39,297 --> 01:37:44,637
Annie, I know nothing can heal
the wound that you've suffered.

1484
01:37:46,222 --> 01:37:51,299
But $10,000,000 in damages
will make your grief more comfortable.

1485
01:37:59,736 --> 01:38:01,610
I could use a few things.

1486
01:38:02,239 --> 01:38:07,661
I feel that the presentation of my person
should be carefully designed.

1487
01:38:08,913 --> 01:38:11,914
I think I should have the right wardrobe.

1488
01:38:12,250 --> 01:38:16,746
So if Mr. Fox's limousine could pick me up
tomorrow morning...

1489
01:38:17,255 --> 01:38:19,164
...I could do some shopping.

1490
01:38:21,926 --> 01:38:23,255
Certainly.

1491
01:38:25,847 --> 01:38:28,006
PETER: I printed the story they wanted.

1492
01:38:30,478 --> 01:38:33,681
PETER: Ifyou work in a whorehouse,
there's only one thing to be.

1493
01:38:33,773 --> 01:38:35,682
The best whore in the house.

1494
01:38:35,942 --> 01:38:40,154
And I was beginning to see
even greater possibilities in my situation.

1495
01:38:40,447 --> 01:38:43,282
They're going to sue the hospital.

1496
01:38:44,493 --> 01:38:46,201
All they want is money.

1497
01:38:47,454 --> 01:38:51,500
Can you imagine using a tragedy like this
for your own selfish motives?

1498
01:38:51,667 --> 01:38:53,210
It really is terrible.

1499
01:38:53,294 --> 01:38:54,872
Shut up, asshole!

1500
01:38:59,301 --> 01:39:03,299
What is happening to my campaign?
The People versus Sherman McCoy?

1501
01:39:04,473 --> 01:39:06,015
Where is my issue?

1502
01:39:07,143 --> 01:39:08,970
Where is my cause?

1503
01:39:10,396 --> 01:39:12,021
Where is my hope?

1504
01:39:15,485 --> 01:39:18,155
We've got to talk to this Ruskin woman.

1505
01:39:23,828 --> 01:39:27,992
You go to the press. Tell them we're going
to question the woman.

1506
01:39:28,208 --> 01:39:32,917
If she's the woman in the car,
she faces possible charges, etc., etc.

1507
01:39:36,842 --> 01:39:38,123
WEISS: And you!

1508
01:39:39,220 --> 01:39:41,711
Mr. Wise-Guy-Know-It-All-Shitface!

1509
01:39:42,014 --> 01:39:45,016
You got us into this!
You're going to get us out.

1510
01:39:45,226 --> 01:39:47,219
Look at me when I talk to you!

1511
01:39:48,230 --> 01:39:52,939
Go to this broad.
Tell her she's in a whole lot of trouble.

1512
01:39:53,444 --> 01:39:58,071
But, if she's willing to cooperate,
if she'll say what we want her to say...

1513
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:00,233
...we will grant her immunity.

1514
01:40:02,578 --> 01:40:04,570
What are you waiting for? Go!

1515
01:40:09,043 --> 01:40:10,206
Today?

1516
01:40:11,212 --> 01:40:13,703
Her husband's funeral is today.

1517
01:40:16,218 --> 01:40:20,050
I don't care if today is
her mother's bar mitzvah.

1518
01:40:20,556 --> 01:40:22,383
Go to her. Now!

1519
01:40:27,063 --> 01:40:30,432
I hear you did some creative wiring
in the building.

1520
01:40:31,276 --> 01:40:33,981
You bugged
Caroline Heftshank's apartment.

1521
01:40:34,112 --> 01:40:36,782
PETER: In three minutes,
I had what I needed.

1522
01:40:37,074 --> 01:40:40,573
It was more than a story.
I had the makings of a book.

1523
01:40:40,786 --> 01:40:43,491
A great book. A prize-winning effort.

1524
01:40:43,998 --> 01:40:45,492
All I needed was a finish.

1525
01:40:45,583 --> 01:40:48,419
-Do you have the tape upstairs?
-I got it.

1526
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:51,838
PETER: I shipped off a present
to McCoy's lawyer...

1527
01:40:51,923 --> 01:40:53,715
...and waited for the fireworks.

1528
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:57,004
SHERMAN: [On tape] I don't feel
terrifically sexy at the moment.

1529
01:40:57,096 --> 01:41:00,512
MARIA: [On tape] You know I'm a sucker
for a soft dick, Sherman.

1530
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,091
SHERMAN: [On tape] You are incorrigible.

1531
01:41:03,603 --> 01:41:06,521
That is me! That's Maria!
Where did you get this?

1532
01:41:06,606 --> 01:41:07,638
Listen!

1533
01:41:10,319 --> 01:41:14,613
SHERMAN: We could still go to the police.
We could get a talented lawyer.

1534
01:41:14,782 --> 01:41:17,949
MARIA: And put our heads right
into the tiger's mouth?

1535
01:41:18,161 --> 01:41:20,403
I'm the one who was driving the car.

1536
01:41:20,663 --> 01:41:23,949
Shouldn't I be the one
to make that decision?

1537
01:41:24,459 --> 01:41:26,499
And I say no. I say no.

1538
01:41:27,838 --> 01:41:31,290
The apartment was wired?
It was bugged all that time?

1539
01:41:31,467 --> 01:41:32,630
Why?

1540
01:41:32,802 --> 01:41:33,916
Who knows?

1541
01:41:34,053 --> 01:41:38,799
Whoever sent this tape is either a fan
of yours or not a fan of Maria's.

1542
01:41:39,184 --> 01:41:41,093
Then we have this as evidence!

1543
01:41:41,186 --> 01:41:44,057
This tape is illegal. Totally illegal.

01:53:38,674 --> 01:53:42,720
And did that surprise you?

1717
01:53:43,054 --> 01:53:44,714
I was shocked.

1718
01:53:45,557 --> 01:53:50,634
There are certain qualities of virtue
that I admire in a human being.

1719
01:53:51,397 --> 01:53:53,021
Virtues that I hope...

1720
01:53:53,232 --> 01:53:54,892
...I possess myself.

1721
01:53:54,984 --> 01:53:57,226
MARIA: [On tape] We have time
for a quickie.

1722
01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:58,648
What do you say?

1723
01:53:58,738 --> 01:54:00,612
[Crowd gasps and murmurs]

1724
01:54:05,829 --> 01:54:08,949
SHERMAN: [On tape] I don't feel
terrifically sexy at the moment.

1725
01:54:09,041 --> 01:54:12,660
MARIA: [On tape] You know I'm a sucker
for a soft dick, Sherman.

1726
01:54:15,757 --> 01:54:17,750
SHERMAN: You are incorrigible.

1727
01:54:20,053 --> 01:54:24,134
SHERMAN: We could still go to the police.
We could get a talented lawyer.

1728
01:54:24,266 --> 01:54:26,804
MARIA: And put our heads
into the tiger's mouth?

1729
01:54:26,894 --> 01:54:29,136
I'm the one who was driving the car.

1730
01:54:29,230 --> 01:54:30,689
[Crowd roars]

1731
01:54:32,859 --> 01:54:34,519
[Chaotic yelling]

1732
01:54:37,113 --> 01:54:38,571
JUDGE: Order!

1733
01:54:43,870 --> 01:54:45,329
[Crowd yells]

1734
01:54:48,292 --> 01:54:50,415
Order in here, goddamn it! Order!

1735
01:54:55,424 --> 01:54:57,251
Approach the bench.

1736
01:54:59,971 --> 01:55:01,465
Now, gentlemen.

1737
01:55:06,311 --> 01:55:07,426
Damn it.

1738
01:55:08,772 --> 01:55:10,564
That can't be used.

1739
01:55:26,959 --> 01:55:28,952
-Whose tape is this?
-Mine.

1740
01:55:29,295 --> 01:55:30,374
Shut up!

1741
01:55:37,846 --> 01:55:40,847
I remind you that you are still under oath.

1742
01:55:45,646 --> 01:55:48,351
Did you record this conversation?

1743
01:55:49,817 --> 01:55:51,525
Yes, sir, I did.

1744
01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:54,609
I recorded the conversation on this tape.

1745
01:55:54,698 --> 01:55:56,607
My tape. This is my tape...

1746
01:55:56,825 --> 01:55:58,450
...of my conversation.

1747
01:55:59,536 --> 01:56:01,161
I recorded it.

1748
01:56:11,174 --> 01:56:12,633
Get out of my face.

1749
01:56:14,928 --> 01:56:15,877
All of you!

1750
01:56:16,305 --> 01:56:17,764
[Crowd roars]

1751
01:56:18,432 --> 01:56:20,804
You can't let them get away with this!

1752
01:56:22,895 --> 01:56:24,224
Order!

1753
01:56:25,731 --> 01:56:27,807
JUDGE: Order in the court!

1754
01:56:30,736 --> 01:56:34,070
You insist on testing the will of this court?

1755
01:56:34,574 --> 01:56:36,732
Now shut up and sit down!

1756
01:56:36,826 --> 01:56:38,486
[Crowd quiets]

1757
01:56:50,216 --> 01:56:51,379
Very well.

1758
01:56:52,510 --> 01:56:55,511
In the case of
The People versus Sherman McCoy...

1759
01:56:59,893 --> 01:57:03,060
...based on the evidence contained
in this recording...

1760
01:57:05,775 --> 01:57:09,358
...I order the indictment dismissed
in the interest of justice.

1761
01:57:09,445 --> 01:57:11,522
[Crowd roars]

1762
01:57:16,912 --> 01:57:19,119
That's not justice, you racist pig!

1763
01:57:20,624 --> 01:57:21,704
Racist?

1764
01:57:26,589 --> 01:57:29,259
You dare call me racist?

1765
01:57:33,764 --> 01:57:35,591
I say unto you...

1766
01:57:36,642 --> 01:57:39,976
...what does it matter
the color of a man's skin...

1767
01:57:40,271 --> 01:57:41,730
...if witnesses...

1768
01:57:41,814 --> 01:57:43,641
...perjure themselves?

1769
01:57:44,275 --> 01:57:45,734
If a prosecutor...

1770
01:57:46,319 --> 01:57:48,312
...enlists the perjurers?

1771
01:57:49,489 --> 01:57:51,482
When a district attorney...

1772
01:57:52,493 --> 01:57:54,532
...throws a man to the mob...

1773
01:57:54,787 --> 01:57:56,780
...for political gain?

1774
01:57:57,623 --> 01:57:59,782
When men of the cloth...

1775
01:58:02,504 --> 01:58:04,793
...men of God...

1776
01:58:06,299 --> 01:58:08,458
...take the prime cuts?

1777
01:58:15,183 --> 01:58:16,891
Is that justice?

1778
01:58:24,026 --> 01:58:25,686
I don't hear you.

1779
01:58:31,159 --> 01:58:33,829
I'll tell you whatjustice is.

1780
01:58:35,497 --> 01:58:36,992
Justice...

1781
01:58:38,042 --> 01:58:39,666
...is the law.

1782
01:58:41,379 --> 01:58:43,039
And the law...

1783
01:58:43,548 --> 01:58:46,039
...is man's feeble attempt...

1784
01:58:47,218 --> 01:58:50,884
...to set down the principles of decency.

1785
01:58:53,725 --> 01:58:55,184
Decency.

1786
01:58:56,520 --> 01:58:58,312
And decency is not a deal!

1787
01:59:00,233 --> 01:59:04,313
It isn't an angle, or a contract or a hustle.

1788
01:59:06,740 --> 01:59:08,400
Decency....

1789
01:59:15,374 --> 01:59:20,001
Decency is what
your grandmother taught you.

1790
01:59:24,217 --> 01:59:26,376
It's in your bones.

1791
01:59:30,933 --> 01:59:32,558
Now you go home.

1792
01:59:35,229 --> 01:59:40,473
Go home and be decent people.

1793
01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:47,067
Be decent.

1794
01:59:57,128 --> 01:59:59,620
Mr. McCoy, you're free to go.

1795
02:00:00,215 --> 02:00:02,172
[Dramatic instrumental music]

1796
02:00:04,135 --> 02:00:06,092
I don't fucking believe this.

1797
02:00:08,348 --> 02:00:09,379
Shit!

1798
02:00:16,649 --> 02:00:19,187
PETER: So we come to the end
of our story.

1799
02:00:20,153 --> 02:00:22,822
That was the last I saw of Sherman McCoy.

1800
02:00:23,114 --> 02:00:24,988
The last anyone saw of him.

1801
02:00:25,325 --> 02:00:26,570
He was gone...

1802
02:00:27,285 --> 02:00:30,785
...in a blaze of glory. A hero for our times.

1803
02:00:31,165 --> 02:00:34,368
Or as close to a hero
as we're likely to get these days.

1804
02:00:38,631 --> 02:00:40,291
[Cheering and applause]

1805

[Light instrumental music]

1806
02:00:47,474 --> 02:00:51,307
WEISS: And now, without further ado,
the man of the moment.

1807
02:00:52,021 --> 02:00:54,097
The winner of the Pulitzer Prize...

1808
02:00:54,190 --> 02:00:57,275
...the National Book Award
and every other prize you can win.

1809
02:00:57,360 --> 02:00:59,982
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Peter Fallow.

1810
02:01:05,703 --> 02:01:07,446
[Light instrumental music]

1811
02:01:23,556 --> 02:01:27,388
PETER: Sherman, who started with
so much, lost everything.

1812
02:01:27,894 --> 02:01:29,685
But he gained his soul.

1813
02:01:29,896 --> 02:01:32,565
Whereas I, who started with so little...

1814
02:01:33,066 --> 02:01:34,644
...gained everything.

1815
02:01:35,068 --> 02:01:38,901
"But what does it profit a man
if he gains the world and loses.... "

1816
02:01:39,406 --> 02:01:40,569
Ah, well.

1817
02:01:41,200 --> 02:01:43,359
There are compensations.
