00:23:52,452 --> 00:23:56,764
MARIA: The newspapers, radio, television.
I can see it now.

353
00:23:56,932 --> 00:24:02,165
"Mr. Sherman McCoy of Park Avenue,
and Mrs. Arthur Ruskin of Fifth Avenue...

354
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:06,407
"...are recuperating after their adventures
in the Bronx."

355
00:24:07,052 --> 00:24:08,531
[Maria laughs]

356
00:24:11,492 --> 00:24:13,722
Explain that one to your wife.

357
00:24:14,212 --> 00:24:16,123
SHERMAN: Yes, you have a point.

358
00:24:20,132 --> 00:24:21,770
But I'd feel better if--

359
00:24:22,412 --> 00:24:24,926
You don't have to feel better.

360
00:24:25,772 --> 00:24:27,842
I was the one who was driving.

361
00:24:28,292 --> 00:24:30,362
And I say I didn't hit anybody.

362
00:24:30,532 --> 00:24:33,729
And I'm not reporting anything
to the police.

363
00:24:34,052 --> 00:24:38,682
And if you're a gentleman,
you'll support me in that decision.

364
00:24:39,972 --> 00:24:41,963
[Light instrumental music]

365
00:24:45,892 --> 00:24:47,769
MARIA: We were in the jungle.

366
00:24:48,972 --> 00:24:51,202
-We were attacked.
-That's true.

367
00:24:51,492 --> 00:24:54,131
-We fought our way out.
-We could've been killed.

368
00:24:54,212 --> 00:24:55,645
We fought.

369
00:24:56,132 --> 00:24:58,043
I feel like an animal.

370
00:24:58,572 --> 00:25:00,767
You drove the hell out of that car.

371
00:25:00,932 --> 00:25:04,288
The hard part was getting into the seat,
over that gearshift.

372
00:25:04,452 --> 00:25:06,010
SHERMAN: No, it was instinct.

373
00:25:06,092 --> 00:25:07,684
God, and that tire!

374
00:25:07,972 --> 00:25:10,725
-He was big, wasn't he?
-Sherman was bigger.

375
00:25:11,212 --> 00:25:13,726
-You were great.
-We were both great.

376
00:25:15,852 --> 00:25:19,049
This could be the best sex we've had
in a long time.

377
00:25:19,532 --> 00:25:22,524
-I still think--
-Don't think!

378
00:25:22,732 --> 00:25:24,290
Just fuck!

379
00:25:32,612 --> 00:25:34,443
JUDGE: Mr. Sonnenberg?

380
00:25:35,972 --> 00:25:38,247
Where the hell is Mr. Sonnenberg?

381
00:25:40,172 --> 00:25:44,006
Mr. Lockwood, you sit down.
If and when your lawyer appears--

382
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:46,123
LOCKWOOD: Two to six, Judge.

383
00:25:46,412 --> 00:25:50,041
Two to six. Two weeks ago,
he told me two to six.

384
00:25:50,572 --> 00:25:52,210
Two to six, or we go to trial.

385
00:25:52,292 --> 00:25:54,965
JUDGE: Nobody wants to go to trial.
LOCKWOOD: I'll go.

386
00:25:55,052 --> 00:25:56,405
JUDGE: Approach the bench.

387
00:25:56,492 --> 00:25:58,403
I'll approach the bench.

388
00:26:01,132 --> 00:26:05,091
Listen, you son of a bitch.
You're a nice boy, with a lot going for you.

389
00:26:05,252 --> 00:26:09,086
We got 7,000 felony indictments
in the Bronx every year.

390
00:26:09,292 --> 00:26:12,090
We got room for 650 trials.
Yours isn't one of them.

391
00:26:12,172 --> 00:26:13,366
I go to trial.

392
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:15,483
You go sit down.

393
00:26:15,812 --> 00:26:19,327
And you'll take whatever plea bargain
we give you.

394
00:26:19,532 --> 00:26:23,411
You'll kiss my ass and thank me
that I didn't put you away for 25 years.

395
00:26:23,532 --> 00:26:27,650
That's what you'd get if this case goes
to trial. Now get out of my face.

396
00:26:37,932 --> 00:26:39,206
What'd he do?

397
00:26:39,972 --> 00:26:44,443
Robbed and raped a 70-year-old lady
and put her in a garbage can.

398
00:26:44,652 --> 00:26:46,085
Jesus Christ.

399
00:26:46,412 --> 00:26:48,164
Welcome to the South Bronx.

400
00:26:49,572 --> 00:26:51,847
People versus Harold Williams.

401
00:26:52,772 --> 00:26:55,366
Indictment number 294721.

402
00:26:57,612 --> 00:27:00,001
This case was dismissed three weeks ago.

403
00:27:00,132 --> 00:27:01,531
Go get 'em, tiger.

404
00:27:02,532 --> 00:27:04,090
Why is this case here?

405
00:27:06,052 --> 00:27:08,771
May I approach the bench, Your Honor?

406
00:27:09,572 --> 00:27:11,085
Who the hell are you?

407
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:15,248
Assistant District Attorney Kramer.

408
00:27:15,692 --> 00:27:18,252
Mr. Kramer, you are new here.

409
00:27:18,572 --> 00:27:20,563
Let me explain something to you.

410
00:27:21,252 --> 00:27:24,483
This case is what we call a piece of shit.

411
00:27:24,812 --> 00:27:28,600
Which, loosely translated,
means you don't have any evidence.

412
00:27:30,372 --> 00:27:34,365
Except that District Attorney Weiss
has instructed me to show you--

413
00:27:34,532 --> 00:27:37,569
I know who the District Attorney is,
Mr. Kramer.

414
00:27:38,732 --> 00:27:42,042
The only reason Mr. Weiss is interested
in this case...

415
00:27:42,252 --> 00:27:44,607
...is because Mr. Williams over there...

416
00:27:44,972 --> 00:27:48,806
...is a white man who lives
in a nice big house in Riverdale.

417
00:27:50,252 --> 00:27:51,765
I'm not following you.

418
00:27:51,852 --> 00:27:54,002
JUDGE: Because it's an election year.

419
00:27:54,092 --> 00:27:57,528
Ninety-nine percent of those you shovel
through this court are black...

420
00:27:57,612 --> 00:28:00,763
...and the other ninety-nine percent
don't speak English.

421
00:28:01,252 --> 00:28:02,731
But they do vote.

422
00:28:03,532 --> 00:28:06,729
So your boss, the District Attorney,
Mr. Weiss...

423
00:28:07,172 --> 00:28:11,006
...who dreams every night
of one day becoming mayor of New York...

424
00:28:11,212 --> 00:28:12,930
...needs a white man.

425
00:28:13,092 --> 00:28:16,482
He needs to find him, book him,
and throw him in jail.

426
00:28:16,972 --> 00:28:18,644
Then everybody likes him.

427
00:28:18,732 --> 00:28:20,643
The press and voters like him.

428
00:28:22,412 --> 00:28:24,687
Even your mother would like him.

429
00:28:24,972 --> 00:28:27,008
-You following me?
-I am now.

430
00:28:27,212 --> 00:28:29,521
Now you tell your boss,
"Captain Ahab Weiss"...

431
00:28:29,612 --> 00:28:33,890
...that I know he's out there looking
for "the great white defendant."

432
00:28:34,092 --> 00:28:36,765
But Mr. Williams, over there, is not it!

433
00:28:39,212 --> 00:28:40,884
Don't take it personally.

434
00:28:41,252 --> 00:28:43,243
Maybe he didn't like your shoes.

435
00:28:43,652 --> 00:28:44,846
You Andruitti?

436
00:28:45,252 --> 00:28:48,688
I'm Martin, this is Goldberg.
We just came from Bronx Hospital.

437
00:28:49,092 --> 00:28:52,641
Kid named Henry Lamb came in last night
with a broken wrist.

438
00:28:52,932 --> 00:28:55,207
They fixed him up and sent him home.

439
00:28:55,492 --> 00:28:58,370
This morning, he comes back in
with a concussion.

440
00:28:58,532 --> 00:29:01,251
He goes into a coma
and now they say he'll die.

441
00:29:01,412 --> 00:29:02,970
KRAMER: Did you talk to him?

442
00:29:03,052 --> 00:29:04,644
He's in a coma.

443
00:29:05,612 --> 00:29:07,330
What else?

444
00:29:07,492 --> 00:29:09,483
There's a nurse busting my balls.

445
00:29:09,572 --> 00:29:13,087
Says the kid told his mother he was hit
by a Mercedes, which drove off.

446
00:29:13,172 --> 00:29:15,732
GOLDBERG: Hit-and-run.
RAY: The mother told you this?

447
00:29:15,812 --> 00:29:19,725
MARTIN: She's got a pile of parking tickets
and won't talk to the police.

448
00:29:19,812 --> 00:29:21,131
Why come to us?

449
00:29:21,292 --> 00:29:24,602
You've got an unconscious victim,
no witness, and no driver.

450
00:29:25,292 --> 00:29:28,648
You've got what we call a piece of shit.
Right, Kramer?

451
00:29:28,972 --> 00:29:30,803
What we've got is a problem.

452
00:29:31,012 --> 00:29:33,082
Ever hear of Reverend Bacon?

453
00:29:33,892 --> 00:29:35,848
No, not me, gentlemen.

454
00:29:36,132 --> 00:29:39,010
Kramer, this is all yours. See you later.

455
00:29:41,572 --> 00:29:43,051
Reverend Bacon?

456
00:29:52,012 --> 00:29:54,207
REV. BACON: This is a tragedy!

457
00:29:55,332 --> 00:29:58,404
A fine young man has been struck down.

458
00:29:59,532 --> 00:30:03,525
God-fearing, church-going,
never in trouble...

459
00:30:04,132 --> 00:30:07,966
...graduated from high school,
on his way to college.

460
00:30:08,172 --> 00:30:12,051
Somebody comes along,
some rich white people...

461
00:30:12,332 --> 00:30:15,165
...in a rich white man's car and wham!

462
00:30:18,052 --> 00:30:21,408
They run him down and never even stop.

463
00:30:25,292 --> 00:30:27,852
Now what'll we do
about these parking tickets?

464
00:30:31,332 --> 00:30:33,846
First of all, Reverend.... Is it Reverend?

465
00:30:33,932 --> 00:30:36,321
Is, was and always will be.

466
00:30:37,892 --> 00:30:40,326
First of all, we have no evidence--

467
00:30:40,652 --> 00:30:42,563
This is your evidence!

468
00:30:45,292 --> 00:30:47,647
I'm sorry. I didn't see you.

469
00:30:47,852 --> 00:30:50,730
REV. BACON:
Mrs. Lamb is not speaking to the police.

470
00:30:51,052 --> 00:30:53,805
Until we have proper counsel,
I'll speak for her.

471
00:30:54,252 --> 00:30:55,844
Fine. That's good.

472
00:30:56,132 --> 00:31:00,444
I just want to get a few things straight.
The boy was hit by a car?

473
00:31:00,612 --> 00:31:02,125
On Bruckner Boulevard!

474
00:31:02,212 --> 00:31:05,409
Innocently walking along
minding his own business.

475
00:31:05,612 --> 00:31:08,001
A clear case of hit-and-run.

476
00:31:08,612 --> 00:31:12,969
But there were no witnesses.
Without a witness, you have no case.

477
00:31:13,252 --> 00:31:15,083
You got what he told his mother.

478
00:31:15,172 --> 00:31:16,446
It's hearsay.

479
00:31:16,612 --> 00:31:20,651
You and I may believe it,
but it's not admissible in a court of law.

480
00:31:21,092 --> 00:31:23,811
If this boy was born on Park Avenue...

481
00:31:23,972 --> 00:31:27,009
...and was run down by two niggers
in a Pontiac...

482
00:31:27,172 --> 00:31:29,242
...then you'd have a case, right?

483
00:31:29,372 --> 00:31:31,886
I work Park Avenue
and Bruckner Boulevard.

484
00:31:31,972 --> 00:31:34,122
There's good and bad in both places.

485
00:31:34,212 --> 00:31:36,601
We'll try to help this lady...

486
00:31:36,732 --> 00:31:38,802
...but there's not much to go on.

487
00:31:40,332 --> 00:31:42,892
I want you to make an investment here.

488
00:31:43,172 --> 00:31:46,369
An investment in steam control.

489
00:31:47,372 --> 00:31:48,646
Steam control?

490
00:31:49,132 --> 00:31:50,724
Steam control.

491
00:31:51,372 --> 00:31:55,206
A righteous steam is building up
in the souls of my people.

492
00:31:55,492 --> 00:31:57,722
And that steam is ready to blow!

493
00:31:58,092 --> 00:31:59,320
I see.

494
00:31:59,972 --> 00:32:03,044
On Judgment Day, I am your safety valve.

495
00:32:03,212 --> 00:32:05,885
Because when it blows, and it will...

496
00:32:06,092 --> 00:32:10,529
...how grateful you will be
that I am on your side.

497
00:32:10,732 --> 00:32:15,408
The one nigger who can control
the steam and save your white ass...

498
00:32:16,052 --> 00:32:18,282
...from being burned
off the face of the earth.

499
00:32:18,372 --> 00:32:19,646
So to speak.

500
00:32:23,052 --> 00:32:25,612
Thank you. We'll see what we can do.

501
00:32:26,372 --> 00:32:27,646
Excuse me.

502
00:32:39,532 --> 00:32:41,204
[Whispers] Thank you.

503
00:32:42,212 --> 00:32:43,850
ANNIE LAMB: He said....

504
00:32:44,332 --> 00:32:47,210
He said it started with an "R."

505
00:32:48,292 --> 00:32:51,329
The second letter was an "E"...

506
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:53,445
...or a "P. "

507
00:32:53,892 --> 00:32:58,329
Those were the first two letters
of the license plate.

508
00:32:58,852 --> 00:33:00,046
[Sighs]

509
00:33:00,932 --> 00:33:03,162
We should move up here.

510
00:33:05,252 --> 00:33:09,086
Have you ever thought about moving out
of New York?

511
00:33:09,572 --> 00:33:13,406
Keep a small place in town.
Save loads of money. What do you think?

512
00:33:15,012 --> 00:33:16,286
About what?

513
00:33:16,972 --> 00:33:19,327
Do you think we could leave New York?

514
00:33:21,052 --> 00:33:22,531
No.

515
00:33:22,852 --> 00:33:24,171
My father did it.

516
00:33:24,452 --> 00:33:26,682
You are not your father.

517
00:33:28,492 --> 00:33:30,562
PETER: She knew how to hurt a guy.

518
00:33:30,852 --> 00:33:33,571
No, he was nothing like his father.

519
00:33:34,412 --> 00:33:38,087
His father, "The Lion of Dunning,
Sponget and Leach. "

520
00:33:38,372 --> 00:33:41,728
His father, who took the subway
to work every day of his life.

521
00:33:41,932 --> 00:33:44,969
His father, who believed
in principles and ethics...

522
00:33:45,292 --> 00:33:49,922
...whose lessons about duty and debt
had whistled through his son's head.

523
00:33:51,652 --> 00:33:54,086
Sherman McCoy was
nothing like his father.

524
00:33:55,372 --> 00:33:57,932
JUDY: What're you looking for
in that paper?

525
00:33:58,412 --> 00:34:00,482
SHERMAN: Nothing. Nothing special.

526
00:34:00,812 --> 00:34:02,404
What's a bond?

527
00:34:02,692 --> 00:34:04,444
Sherman, do explain it.

528
00:34:04,652 --> 00:34:07,689
Yes, your mother and I really want
to hear this.

529
00:34:09,732 --> 00:34:12,963
A bond is a way of lending people money.

530
00:34:13,292 --> 00:34:17,763
Say you want to build a road or a hospital,
and you need a lot of money.

531
00:34:18,052 --> 00:34:20,486
What you do is issue a bond.

532
00:34:21,412 --> 00:34:23,004
Do you build roads?

533
00:34:23,652 --> 00:34:26,041
SHERMAN: No, I don't actually build them.

534
00:34:26,212 --> 00:34:27,884
You're in over your head.

535
00:34:28,132 --> 00:34:29,724
Let me try.

536
00:34:30,412 --> 00:34:34,883
Darling, Daddy doesn't build roads
or hospitals or anything, really.

537
00:34:35,652 --> 00:34:38,689
Daddy handles bonds for the people
who raise the money.

538
00:34:38,892 --> 00:34:41,281
That's what he said. Bonds.

539
00:34:43,172 --> 00:34:46,847
Just imagine that a bond is a slice of cake.

540
00:34:47,532 --> 00:34:50,092
Now, you didn't bake that cake.

541
00:34:50,412 --> 00:34:53,882
But every time you hand a slice
of that cake to somebody else...

542
00:34:54,052 --> 00:34:55,883
...a little piece comes off.

543
00:34:55,972 --> 00:34:57,610
Little crumbs fall off.

544
00:34:58,092 --> 00:34:59,969
Really. Crumbs?

545
00:35:00,812 --> 00:35:03,531
And you are allowed to keep those crumbs.

546
00:35:03,812 --> 00:35:07,327
And many a man has sold his soul
for those little crumbs.

547
00:35:07,532 --> 00:35:09,284
And that's what Daddy does.

548
00:35:09,572 --> 00:35:13,406
Daddy passes somebody else's cake around
and picks up all of the crumbs.

549
00:35:14,052 --> 00:35:18,887
But you have to imagine a lot of crumbs,
and a great big golden cake...

550
00:35:19,372 --> 00:35:21,442
...and a lot of golden crumbs.

551
00:35:22,692 --> 00:35:26,401
And imagine Daddy running around
picking up every little golden crumb...

552
00:35:26,492 --> 00:35:27,720
...he can grab.

553
00:35:28,132 --> 00:35:30,362
And that's what Daddy does.

554
00:35:31,972 --> 00:35:34,327
You can call them crumbs if you want to.

555
00:35:34,412 --> 00:35:36,448
I'm doing the best I can.

556
00:35:37,452 --> 00:35:38,885
Excuse me.

557
00:35:47,692 --> 00:35:50,684
In my day, there was some integrity to it.

558
00:35:53,732 --> 00:35:57,566
Now it isn't about anything, is it?
Except the money.

559
00:35:58,052 --> 00:36:00,612
Well, I don't make the rules, so....

560
00:36:01,132 --> 00:36:03,566
All the more reason not to play the game.

561
00:36:06,372 --> 00:36:08,283
We're just having a little....

562
00:36:08,652 --> 00:36:10,563
It's nothing really.

563
00:36:15,052 --> 00:36:18,249
PETER: Up to this point in our story,
I was blissfully ignorant.

564
00:36:18,332 --> 00:36:20,926
I had no idea of the storm
that was gathering.

565
00:36:21,052 --> 00:36:22,929
Never even heard of Sherman McCoy.

566
00:36:23,012 --> 00:36:27,244
Hadn't the faintest notion that soon
his name would be inexorably tied to mine.

567
00:36:27,452 --> 00:36:30,888
That his fate would be inextricably bound
to my own destiny.

568
00:36:31,132 --> 00:36:32,724
I had my own problems...

569
00:36:32,932 --> 00:36:36,925
...and I had no idea that Sherman McCoy
was the solution I was looking for.

570
00:36:38,652 --> 00:36:40,085
You're bad!

571
00:36:41,172 --> 00:36:42,571
[Jazz music]

572
00:36:44,812 --> 00:36:46,962
WOMAN: Caroline, you look beautiful!

573
00:36:47,292 --> 00:36:48,691
-You devil.
-You pig.

574
00:36:48,772 --> 00:36:51,605
-Join us for a cocktail.
-No, I'm with someone.

575
00:36:52,092 --> 00:36:54,003
And a pretty someone he is.

576
00:36:55,772 --> 00:36:58,889
Filippo Chirazzi, the artist.
Peter Fallow, the has-been.

577
00:36:58,972 --> 00:37:00,451
Enchant�.

578
00:37:00,732 --> 00:37:02,643
We're crowded this evening.

579
00:37:02,852 --> 00:37:05,571
Why don't you sit on top of Billy Cortez?

580
00:37:05,852 --> 00:37:08,412
I'll see if Caroline will sit on my face.

581
00:37:08,612 --> 00:37:12,890
No thanks. The last time I sat on your face
I got a yeast infection.

582
00:37:13,172 --> 00:37:14,651
[All laugh]

583
00:37:16,252 --> 00:37:17,731
Good evening, Peter.

584
00:37:19,852 --> 00:37:21,126
Good evening.

585
00:37:21,212 --> 00:37:23,772
Don't get up. Do you know my daughter?

586
00:37:24,932 --> 00:37:27,321
Of course. How are you, Evelyn?

587
00:37:27,532 --> 00:37:29,762
This is one of my invisible employees.

588
00:37:29,852 --> 00:37:34,004
One of the many journalists
who supposedly write for my newspaper.

589
00:37:34,332 --> 00:37:36,243
You're very honored to see him.

590
00:37:37,212 --> 00:37:38,361
I rarely do.

591
00:37:40,292 --> 00:37:42,965
PETER: I can explain. Come have a drink--

592
00:37:43,132 --> 00:37:45,202
We're having a private party.

593
00:37:45,572 --> 00:37:49,121
I was at a dinner last evening,
and halfway through the pudding...

594
00:37:49,372 --> 00:37:53,081
...a 4-year-old child came in
dragging a little toy cart.

595
00:37:53,452 --> 00:37:55,966
And on the cart was a fresh turd.

596
00:37:56,252 --> 00:37:57,685
Her own, I suppose.

597
00:37:57,892 --> 00:38:00,770
The parents just shook their heads
and smiled.

598
00:38:01,212 --> 00:38:03,931
I've made a big investment in you, Peter.

599
00:38:04,132 --> 00:38:06,521
Time and money, and it's not working.

600
00:38:06,892 --> 00:38:09,565
I could just shake my head and smile.

601
00:38:09,892 --> 00:38:12,850
But in my house, when a turd appears,
we deal with it.

602
00:38:12,932 --> 00:38:15,651
We dispose of it. We flush it away.

603
00:38:16,572 --> 00:38:19,291
We don't put it on the table
and call it caviar.

604
00:38:19,652 --> 00:38:22,166
Of course you don't.
I've been working at home.

605
00:38:22,252 --> 00:38:26,564
I'm working on a story that I can't talk
about here. It's a big story.

606
00:38:26,852 --> 00:38:29,446
I sincerely hope so, Peter.

607
00:38:30,332 --> 00:38:32,084
I sincerely hope so.

608
00:38:37,372 --> 00:38:41,047
PETER: It was the end of the road for me.
I could see it coming.

609
00:38:42,052 --> 00:38:44,122
See it coming? It was here.

610
00:38:44,892 --> 00:38:47,804
I'd had my chance and I'd blown it away
in a bottle.

611
00:38:48,092 --> 00:38:50,925
It was over. I had to face up to that fact.

612
00:38:53,092 --> 00:38:54,889
I could go back home.

613
00:38:55,172 --> 00:38:57,288
Small town, small newspaper.

614
00:38:57,692 --> 00:39:00,252
Or I could write a novel or two.

615
00:39:00,892 --> 00:39:02,803
Or I could slit my wrists.

616
00:39:03,052 --> 00:39:07,603
This last idea seemed most appealing,
as it required the least amount of effort.

617
00:39:09,852 --> 00:39:11,763
And then the telephone rang.

618
00:39:12,732 --> 00:39:14,211
[Phone rings]

619
00:39:16,772 --> 00:39:17,841
[Moans] Yeah?

620
00:39:17,932 --> 00:39:19,923
ALBERT: Peter! Albert Fox here.

621
00:39:21,612 --> 00:39:22,761
Peter?

622
00:39:23,052 --> 00:39:24,610
Peter!

623
00:39:25,852 --> 00:39:27,763
Yeah, this is Peter.

624
00:39:28,132 --> 00:39:30,043
You sound terrific.

625
00:39:30,412 --> 00:39:31,970
Any pulse?

626
00:39:33,412 --> 00:39:37,883
ALBERT: I called the paper. No one knew
where you were or who you were.

627
00:39:38,172 --> 00:39:39,810
Anything I should know?

628
00:39:39,932 --> 00:39:42,400
No, I'm just working at home today.

629
00:39:42,652 --> 00:39:46,645
Good. There's something
I want to talk to you about.

630
00:39:46,852 --> 00:39:48,922
There's a hell of a story in it.

631
00:39:49,252 --> 00:39:52,085
Meet me at NBC, studio 4H, 7:00.

632
00:39:52,332 --> 00:39:53,811
Ciao.

633
00:39:54,052 --> 00:39:55,531
Yeah. Ciao.

634
00:39:59,612 --> 00:40:01,921
ALBERT:
You see that Henry Lamb material?

635
00:40:02,012 --> 00:40:03,843
PETER: Yeah, I looked at it.

636
00:40:04,292 --> 00:40:05,771
ALBERT: What do you think?

637
00:40:05,852 --> 00:40:07,126
What do I think?

638
00:40:07,452 --> 00:40:10,489
I think it's an unfortunate situation.

639
00:40:10,812 --> 00:40:12,484
Where's the goddamn story?

640
00:40:12,572 --> 00:40:16,724
A poor, innocent black kid
walking down the street...

641
00:40:16,972 --> 00:40:20,362
...and boom! Hit-and-run.
There's a story in it for somebody.

642
00:40:21,332 --> 00:40:23,243
The black community's up in arms.

643
00:40:23,332 --> 00:40:27,120
And when Reverend Bacon gets a feather
in his ass, the shit flies high.

644
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:31,168
What's your angle on all this?

645
00:40:31,972 --> 00:40:34,088
What do you stand to get out of it?

646
00:40:34,972 --> 00:40:38,009
I'm a lawyer. I want justice done.

647
00:40:39,452 --> 00:40:42,410
Reverend Bacon is my friend.
It'll be good for him.

648
00:40:42,892 --> 00:40:46,646
And knowing your situation,
I thought if you broke the story--

649
00:40:46,812 --> 00:40:48,245
Wait a minute.

650
00:40:50,092 --> 00:40:52,242
What do you mean, my situation?

651
00:40:55,292 --> 00:40:57,760
Your boss was at my house for dinner.

652
00:40:58,332 --> 00:40:59,845
He said a few things.

653
00:41:00,252 --> 00:41:01,731
[Peter sighs]

654
00:41:01,892 --> 00:41:03,166
I see.

655
00:41:06,212 --> 00:41:08,772
-You have a little daughter?
-Yes, I do.

656
00:41:08,932 --> 00:41:10,968
I bet she has a toy wagon.

657
00:41:11,212 --> 00:41:12,884
Yes, she does. Why?

658
00:41:13,132 --> 00:41:14,690
Got any scotch in that car?

659
00:41:15,652 --> 00:41:17,643
RIFKIN: Henry Lamb. Who's that?

660
00:41:17,852 --> 00:41:21,208
PETER: He was a student of yours
at Ruppert High.

661
00:41:21,412 --> 00:41:23,004
He was? What's he done?

662
00:41:23,292 --> 00:41:25,852
Nothing. He's been seriously injured.

663
00:41:26,212 --> 00:41:28,089
I'm a newspaper reporter.

664
00:41:28,292 --> 00:41:29,805
I don't remember him.

665
00:41:29,932 --> 00:41:31,888
What kind of student was he?

666
00:41:31,972 --> 00:41:34,532
If I don't remember him,
I guess he was okay.

667
00:41:35,332 --> 00:41:36,924
Was he a good student?

668
00:41:37,692 --> 00:41:41,844
Good doesn't apply at Ruppert High.
They're cooperative or life-threatening.

669
00:41:42,692 --> 00:41:45,286
-Wasn't he going to college?
-City College.

670
00:41:45,892 --> 00:41:50,682
If you live in the city, graduate high school,
and breathe, they take you.

671
00:41:52,492 --> 00:41:56,451
What about his performance in class?
Any aptitude, special skills?

672
00:41:57,692 --> 00:41:59,762
I got 65 students in each class.

673
00:41:59,932 --> 00:42:02,571
Tests, homework, any written work?

674
00:42:02,692 --> 00:42:06,810
There hasn't been written work
at Ruppert High for 20 years.

675
00:42:08,132 --> 00:42:10,521
How do you keep track of the kids?

676
00:42:10,732 --> 00:42:13,405
There must be some records.

677
00:42:13,692 --> 00:42:16,650
RIFKIN: You're thinking about
honor students and grades.

678
00:42:16,732 --> 00:42:20,486
We don't make those comparisons.
We just try to keep them off the streets.

679
00:42:20,572 --> 00:42:22,483
At Ruppert, an honor student...

680
00:42:22,652 --> 00:42:26,361
...is somebody who comes to class
and doesn't piss on the teacher.

681
00:42:31,012 --> 00:42:32,604
By that standard...

682
00:42:33,532 --> 00:42:35,602
...was Henry Lamb an honor student?

683
00:42:38,572 --> 00:42:39,971
He never pissed on me.

684
00:42:40,252 --> 00:42:44,723
SHERMAN: No, you're exaggerating
the situation. The franc is no problem.

685
00:42:45,292 --> 00:42:49,729
We can hedge that to next January,
to the term or to both, whatever.

686
00:42:50,852 --> 00:42:52,968
I don't think that's necessary.

687
00:42:53,852 --> 00:42:55,649
[Classical music]

688
00:42:56,732 --> 00:42:59,769
Look, Bernard, we've had our share of....

689
00:43:00,252 --> 00:43:05,929
Hell, I wouldn't even call them...problems,
so let's not work ourselves up...

690
00:43:06,212 --> 00:43:08,442
...into a...coma.

691
00:43:08,732 --> 00:43:10,643
Jesus Christ, let me see that!

692
00:43:10,852 --> 00:43:12,444
No, not you, Bernard.

693
00:43:21,572 --> 00:43:24,405

00:53:38,092 --> 00:53:39,320
Going up?

862
00:53:39,532 --> 00:53:41,887
Yeah. Yes, yes, I will.

863
00:53:42,372 --> 00:53:43,646
Should we...?

864
00:53:43,812 --> 00:53:46,246
-Is it bad time for you?
-No, no....

865
00:53:48,932 --> 00:53:50,809
We just have a few questions.

866
00:53:51,332 --> 00:53:54,130
-Was your car in use the night it happened?
-When?

867
00:53:54,292 --> 00:53:55,725
Tuesday, a week ago.

868
00:53:55,812 --> 00:53:57,643
Let me think.

869
00:53:57,772 --> 00:53:59,649
Anybody else use your car?

870
00:53:59,852 --> 00:54:01,604
My wife sometimes.

871
00:54:01,892 --> 00:54:03,120
The men at the garage.

872
00:54:03,212 --> 00:54:06,170
Parking garage? You leave your car
and they park it?

873
00:54:06,372 --> 00:54:08,488
Can we go see it?

874
00:54:09,772 --> 00:54:11,364
The car? Now?

875
00:54:11,572 --> 00:54:15,042
Since we're here.
There's certain things to look for.

876
00:54:15,332 --> 00:54:18,051
We don't find them, we're out of your hair.

877
00:54:18,292 --> 00:54:20,328
So you want to look at the car?

878
00:54:20,812 --> 00:54:22,530
I see. I see.

879
00:54:22,732 --> 00:54:27,487
We don't have a description of a driver,
so we have to look for the car.

880
00:54:27,812 --> 00:54:31,009
We're sorry for the inconvenience,
but it's routine.

881
00:54:31,172 --> 00:54:32,491
I understand.

882
00:54:32,772 --> 00:54:37,846
But if there is a routine,
then I ought to follow the routine...

883
00:54:37,932 --> 00:54:41,720
...that's appropriate to me,
to someone with a car in this situation.

884
00:54:41,812 --> 00:54:42,847
You see?

885
00:54:43,812 --> 00:54:45,723
No, I don't follow.

886
00:54:46,412 --> 00:54:49,961
If there's a routine
in an investigation like this...

887
00:54:50,212 --> 00:54:53,727
...there must also be a routine
for a person like me.

888
00:54:54,892 --> 00:54:57,645
For the owner of a car
with a license number.

889
00:54:57,892 --> 00:54:59,848
That's what I need to consider.

890
00:55:00,652 --> 00:55:02,085
The routine.

891
00:55:03,212 --> 00:55:05,328
We just want to look at your car.

892
00:55:06,212 --> 00:55:08,328
That's what I mean. You see?

893
00:55:09,052 --> 00:55:09,848
No.

894
00:55:10,732 --> 00:55:12,882
GOLDBERG: Excuse me, Mr. McCoy.

895
00:55:13,572 --> 00:55:15,642
Do you want to tell us something?

896
00:55:15,732 --> 00:55:16,721
No.

897
00:55:18,052 --> 00:55:19,485
How do you mean?

898
00:55:19,972 --> 00:55:23,169
I mean, if there is,
now is the time to tell us.

899
00:55:23,332 --> 00:55:25,243
Before things get complicated.

900
00:55:25,332 --> 00:55:26,651
No, no, no....

901
00:55:26,732 --> 00:55:29,565
I just think that to be certain...

902
00:55:29,812 --> 00:55:32,770
...to be safe, sure, I think--

903
00:55:35,172 --> 00:55:39,006
If you want to cooperate, that'd be great.

904
00:55:40,452 --> 00:55:42,920
If you have a reason not to cooperate...

905
00:55:43,012 --> 00:55:46,527
...you don't have to say anything.
That's your right.

906
00:55:46,692 --> 00:55:49,286
If you want, you can say nothing at all.

907
00:55:49,972 --> 00:55:52,281
You also have the right to an attorney.

908
00:55:52,612 --> 00:55:54,682
For that matter...

909
00:55:55,252 --> 00:55:57,766
...if you lack funds for an attorney...

910
00:55:58,052 --> 00:56:01,010
...the state will provide you
with one free of charge.

911
00:56:01,732 --> 00:56:03,450
If that's what you wanted.

912
00:56:07,052 --> 00:56:09,407
I think what I should do is...

913
00:56:12,332 --> 00:56:14,050
...talk to an attorney.

914
00:56:15,092 --> 00:56:17,560
GOLDBERG: So I casually read him
his rights.

915
00:56:17,732 --> 00:56:20,405
MARTIN: Then he sits down
on the guy's desk.

916
00:56:20,492 --> 00:56:23,882
And his eyes get bigger
and he starts double-talking like crazy.

917
00:56:23,972 --> 00:56:25,963
I know that there's something there.

918
00:56:26,052 --> 00:56:28,327
KRAMER: Mr. Weiss, I think we got him.

919
00:56:29,932 --> 00:56:31,001
Got who?

920
00:56:31,252 --> 00:56:33,163
Sherman McCoy. We got him.

921
00:56:33,412 --> 00:56:34,845
You think it's him?

922
00:56:35,492 --> 00:56:38,052
It's him! This guy is Park Avenue.

923
00:56:38,212 --> 00:56:42,683
His father ran Dunning, Sponget and Leach.
His wife is a socialite.

924
00:56:42,772 --> 00:56:45,161
Does this put an end
to this white-justice shit?

925
00:56:45,252 --> 00:56:47,004
We have zip on him.

926
00:56:47,172 --> 00:56:50,289
We could bring him in for questioning,
then go public.

927
00:56:51,172 --> 00:56:54,960
Go public? With what?
The only witness is in a coma, likely to die.

928
00:56:55,492 --> 00:56:57,881
Don't listen. You got a speech to make.

929
00:56:58,252 --> 00:57:00,766
Send a signal to the poor people
of the city.

930
00:57:00,932 --> 00:57:02,604
Let them know justice is blind.

931
00:57:02,692 --> 00:57:06,765
Let them know that rich whites
get the same treatment as poor blacks.

932
00:57:06,892 --> 00:57:08,928
You must give the people hope.

933
00:57:09,572 --> 00:57:11,802
You mean, we nail the WASP?

934
00:57:12,052 --> 00:57:13,565
To the wall.

935
00:57:15,892 --> 00:57:17,610
I like this man.

936
00:57:18,892 --> 00:57:21,611
So I tell him, "I'm your lawyer
from Legal Aid."

937
00:57:21,732 --> 00:57:25,645
He says, "I don't want a nigger lawyer.
I want a Jew."

938
00:57:25,892 --> 00:57:26,927
Nice guy.

939
00:57:27,012 --> 00:57:31,449
-It's his third drug arrest. He wants a deal.
-He'll say he was at the scene?

940
00:57:31,732 --> 00:57:34,246
He'll say whatever you want him to say.

941
00:57:34,732 --> 00:57:38,725
Get me Andruitti. Tell him it's urgent
about this Lamb shit.

942
00:57:39,172 --> 00:57:43,723
Suppose this other fellow comes forward.
There was another fellow. He was big--

943
00:57:44,132 --> 00:57:48,648
I believe you. It was a set-up.
They were going to rob you.

944
00:57:48,932 --> 00:57:51,492
He has good reasons not to come forward.

945
00:57:51,692 --> 00:57:53,728
Now, you just sit tight.

946
00:57:54,372 --> 00:57:58,684
Look, you were recommended
as the best criminal lawyer around.

947
00:57:58,892 --> 00:58:01,247
But I didn't come here to....

948
00:58:01,572 --> 00:58:05,611
I want to preempt this situation.
I don't want it to go any further.

949
00:58:06,212 --> 00:58:07,440
What does that mean?

950
00:58:07,532 --> 00:58:09,648
I want to take the initiative.

951
00:58:09,892 --> 00:58:12,247
I want to go to the police with Maria...

952
00:58:12,332 --> 00:58:15,210
...with Mrs. Ruskin,
and tell them what happened.

953
00:58:15,492 --> 00:58:19,007
I feel morally certain
that what we did was right...

954
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:21,163
...in the circumstances we were in.

955

are real gamblers.

957

What are you, nuts?

958
00:58:30,692 --> 00:58:32,922
They will devour you.

959
00:58:33,172 --> 00:58:34,685
-Eat you alive.
-Why?

960
00:58:35,332 --> 00:58:37,607
Forget that it's a political football.

961
00:58:37,732 --> 00:58:40,644
Forget about the TV and Reverend Bacon...

962
00:58:40,932 --> 00:58:43,162
...and Weiss's upcoming election.

963
00:58:43,372 --> 00:58:47,570
Remember that everyday, the Bronx DA
prosecutes people with names...

964
00:58:47,812 --> 00:58:50,531
...like Tiffany Latour, Sancho Rodriguez...

965
00:58:51,332 --> 00:58:54,404
...Chong Wong and Shabazz Tamali.

966
00:58:54,692 --> 00:58:59,322
So he's dying to get his hands on a nice
white couple like you and Mrs. Ruskin.

967
00:58:59,972 --> 00:59:01,769
I mean, Biscuit City.

968
00:59:02,052 --> 00:59:04,486
Open your mouth and they will arrest you.

969
00:59:04,612 --> 00:59:09,049
They will make a big show of the arrest.
It will be very unpleasant. Guaranteed.

970

[Phone rings]

971
00:59:10,252 --> 00:59:13,210
And you don't want to be arrested
in the South Bronx.

972
00:59:17,412 --> 00:59:18,845
Put him on.

973
00:59:19,732 --> 00:59:20,801
I'll hold.

974
00:59:21,092 --> 00:59:23,560
I'll need to talk to Mrs. Ruskin too.

975
00:59:25,132 --> 00:59:27,009
I understand you went to Yale.

976
00:59:27,652 --> 00:59:29,404
Yeah. You too?

977
00:59:30,852 --> 00:59:32,365
What did you think of it?

978
00:59:32,452 --> 00:59:35,489
It was okay, as law schools go.

979
00:59:35,692 --> 00:59:38,206
They give you the scholarly view.

980
00:59:38,452 --> 00:59:43,048
And it's good for anything you want to do
that doesn't involve real people.

981
00:59:45,572 --> 00:59:47,847
Andruitti, you guinea bastard!

982
00:59:52,772 --> 00:59:55,809
I'm sitting here with Mr. Sherman McCoy.

983
01:00:00,812 --> 01:00:03,804
I don't know if he needs a lawyer.
What do you think?

984
01:00:06,212 --> 01:00:08,123
Okay. So what does that mean?

985
01:00:11,212 --> 01:00:13,203
[Laughs] Yeah, yeah....

986
01:00:16,292 --> 01:00:17,930
We got a problem.

987
01:00:19,012 --> 01:00:20,411
What is it?

988
01:00:20,772 --> 01:00:22,603
They're going to arrest you.

in his career and in his marriage...

...and while the police were circling,
while his life hung in the balance...

Yes.

Have you met Aubrey Buffing, the poet?

01:15:47,572 --> 01:15:49,767
Not for the last million years.

1206
01:15:51,812 --> 01:15:55,043
My father rode the subway
every day of his life.

1207
01:15:57,572 --> 01:16:00,291
He didn't live in the South Bronx, though.

1208
01:16:01,372 --> 01:16:02,566
No....

1209
01:16:05,092 --> 01:16:06,525
I look terrible.

1210
01:16:08,092 --> 01:16:09,525
You look like shit.

1211
01:16:10,532 --> 01:16:13,046
PETER: You don't smell good, either.

1212
01:16:17,932 --> 01:16:21,447
I think when I was in jail
I pissed in my pants.

1213
01:16:30,732 --> 01:16:32,131
[Sherman sobs]

1214
01:16:34,612 --> 01:16:36,170
Take it easy.

1215
01:16:36,332 --> 01:16:38,209
SHERMAN: I'm all right.

1216
01:16:39,412 --> 01:16:40,731
I can't think.

1217
01:16:41,532 --> 01:16:43,011
Cheer yourself up.

1218
01:16:52,092 --> 01:16:53,445
SHERMAN: Thank you.

1219
01:16:53,532 --> 01:16:54,885
Your welcome.

1220
01:17:01,892 --> 01:17:05,123
Then this newspaper thing started.
This Peter Fallow.

1221
01:17:05,412 --> 01:17:09,087
Everything was wrong.
Total disregard for the truth.

1222
01:17:09,292 --> 01:17:10,645
This is your stop.

1223
01:17:10,732 --> 01:17:15,169
Everyone calls me by my first name,
like they know me. Like they own me.

1224
01:17:15,412 --> 01:17:20,008
Lawyers, police, newspapers.
How did I get to be so important?

1225
01:17:20,332 --> 01:17:24,166
You're not important. You're dinner.
Don't you get it?

1226
01:17:24,372 --> 01:17:27,444
A week from now,
they won't even remember what they ate.

1227
01:17:28,772 --> 01:17:30,683
Thank you for everything.

1228
01:17:30,892 --> 01:17:35,568
I should have just called the police
right away. Right when it happened.

1229
01:17:35,852 --> 01:17:38,924
But it really wasn't my decision to make.

1230
01:17:39,172 --> 01:17:40,844
I wasn't driving the car.

1231
01:17:42,932 --> 01:17:45,321
INTERCOM: Stand clear of the doors,
please.

1232
01:17:45,412 --> 01:17:47,607
PETER: Sherman, wait a minute!

1233
01:17:49,092 --> 01:17:50,684
[Chaotic yelling]

1234
01:17:52,012 --> 01:17:54,082
POLLARD: It's going to be fine.

1235
01:17:56,172 --> 01:17:57,969
[Protesters yelling]

1236
01:18:04,252 --> 01:18:05,970
[Dramatic classical music]

1237
01:18:31,972 --> 01:18:34,440
PROTESTER: What do we want?
PROTESTERS: Justice!

1238
01:18:34,532 --> 01:18:37,330
PROTESTER: What do we get?
PROTESTERS: Racism!

1239
01:18:37,412 --> 01:18:39,403
[Chanting continues]

1240
01:18:55,852 --> 01:18:58,889
BOBBY: It's Sherman! A bravo, everybody!

1241
01:19:12,652 --> 01:19:15,962
You sly fox. Don't let the newspapers
keep you down.

1242
01:19:16,132 --> 01:19:18,202
The press are bloody fruit flies.

1243
01:19:18,372 --> 01:19:20,840
They hover over the feces.
Just swipe them away.

1244
01:19:20,932 --> 01:19:22,729
But they always come back to the shit.

1245
01:19:22,812 --> 01:19:23,881
[Laughter]

1246
01:19:23,972 --> 01:19:26,042
I always thought you were dull.

1247
01:19:31,532 --> 01:19:32,965
Congratulations.

1248
01:19:33,652 --> 01:19:36,530
Has anybody talked to you
about television?

1249
01:19:36,772 --> 01:19:39,889
We'd have to play down the racial thing.

1250
01:19:40,012 --> 01:19:42,287
Kind of make you more sympathetic.

1251
01:19:42,692 --> 01:19:47,208
I know I'm first, but I wanted to be there
before the corpse was cold.

1252
01:19:47,812 --> 01:19:49,211
$200,000.

1253
01:19:49,292 --> 01:19:51,681
-I beg your pardon?
-Fuck my pardon.

1254
01:19:51,972 --> 01:19:54,281
I'll suck your dick for the rights. $250,000.

1255
01:19:54,372 --> 01:19:58,411
A book, a mini-series. $500,000.
Go to jail, double.

1256
01:19:58,692 --> 01:20:01,570
-Is that a great blow job or what?
-Excuse me!

1257
01:20:03,652 --> 01:20:05,449
[Greetings exchanged]

1258
01:20:07,972 --> 01:20:10,281
Didn't mean anything to interrupt anything.

1259
01:20:10,372 --> 01:20:12,124
Gene asked me to come by.

1260
01:20:13,252 --> 01:20:15,402
I haven't talked with anyone yet.

1261
01:20:15,532 --> 01:20:17,727
If there's anything we can do....

1262
01:20:19,492 --> 01:20:21,722
I'll be back to work in a day or two.

1263
01:20:21,892 --> 01:20:25,726
That won't be necessary.
That's what I was sent to....

1264
01:20:25,972 --> 01:20:27,405
You don't have to.

1265
01:20:28,132 --> 01:20:30,851
I mean, you shouldn't come down.

1266
01:20:31,972 --> 01:20:34,122
They don't want you to come down.

1267
01:20:35,172 --> 01:20:36,924
Sherman, I'm sorry.

1268
01:20:37,252 --> 01:20:40,369
Between this and the way you handled
the Giscard deal....

1269
01:20:40,452 --> 01:20:43,489
-I mean, $600,000,000 is a--
-This is final?

1270
01:20:43,732 --> 01:20:45,927
Well, the firm feels that....

1271
01:20:47,092 --> 01:20:48,445
I'm sorry.

1272
01:21:07,372 --> 01:21:09,840
SHERMAN: Judy, could we....
What's going on?

1273
01:21:09,932 --> 01:21:14,562
This dinner party was planned weeks ago,
if you bothered to check your calendar.

1274
01:21:16,372 --> 01:21:18,090
Under the circumstances--

1275
01:21:18,172 --> 01:21:21,403
I know the whole story.
I saw it on television.

1276
01:21:23,172 --> 01:21:25,561
I'm sorry. Judy, I am.

1277
01:21:26,092 --> 01:21:29,801
You betrayed us. Me. Campbell.
Even yourself.

1278
01:21:30,292 --> 01:21:34,604
But I'm chairing the museum benefit
thanks to your escapades.

1279
01:21:35,092 --> 01:21:37,128
What can I say? Life goes on.

1280
01:21:37,412 --> 01:21:40,563
JUDY: I'll make the best
of an appalling situation.

1281
01:21:40,932 --> 01:21:43,002
Can you forgive me?

1282
01:21:46,132 --> 01:21:50,444
I suppose I can forgive anything,
but not television.

1283
01:21:52,172 --> 01:21:53,571
I'm leaving you.

1284
01:21:56,292 --> 01:21:57,725
After the party.

1285
01:21:58,532 --> 01:22:01,251
Now if you will excuse me,
we have guests.

1286
01:22:04,972 --> 01:22:08,806
I'm terribly sorry to bother you.
Is this a bad time?

1287
01:22:10,892 --> 01:22:11,881
No.

1288
01:22:12,932 --> 01:22:14,445
The more the merrier.

1289
01:22:14,572 --> 01:22:17,245
I've been in touch with the co-op board.

1290
01:22:17,452 --> 01:22:20,205
We want you to know
you have our support.

1291
01:22:20,292 --> 01:22:21,771
Oh, thank you!

1292
01:22:22,052 --> 01:22:23,963
You know, I wanted to die...

1293
01:22:24,172 --> 01:22:27,403
...with everybody calling my name
in that courtroom.

1294
01:22:27,652 --> 01:22:29,529
Of course. It's hard to believe.

1295
01:22:29,612 --> 01:22:32,809
And then I thought, "I have a gun."

1296
01:22:34,372 --> 01:22:36,283
A 12-gauge, pump action.

1297
01:22:36,532 --> 01:22:38,488
We've known each other a long time.

1298
01:22:38,572 --> 01:22:41,644
POLLARD: We went to Buckley together.
My father knew your father.

1299
01:22:41,732 --> 01:22:44,485
I speak as a friend and also for the board.

1300
01:22:44,692 --> 01:22:46,922
How do I get the barrels into my mouth?

1301
01:22:47,012 --> 01:22:49,606
How am I going to pull the trigger?

1302
01:22:49,772 --> 01:22:52,969
I read about a man who took off his shoe...

1303
01:22:53,252 --> 01:22:55,561
...and pulled the trigger with his toe.

1304
01:22:57,772 --> 01:23:00,366
This can't be a comfortable situation
for you.

1305
01:23:03,412 --> 01:23:04,606
Is that a gun?

1306
01:23:04,692 --> 01:23:07,081
[Protesters chanting, background]

1307
01:23:07,532 --> 01:23:09,170
Where would I do it?

1308
01:23:09,772 --> 01:23:11,842
And who would find me?

1309
01:23:12,172 --> 01:23:13,764
Yes, exactly.

1310
01:23:14,052 --> 01:23:15,804
Have you considered...

1311
01:23:16,772 --> 01:23:18,842
...changing residence for a while?

1312
01:23:21,932 --> 01:23:23,490
You want me to leave?

1313
01:23:26,852 --> 01:23:28,365
This is my home.

1314
01:23:29,332 --> 01:23:33,450
I have no safe place to go.
People are threatening my life.

1315
01:23:33,892 --> 01:23:35,450
I must protect myself.

1316
01:23:37,532 --> 01:23:42,162
People are demonstrating out front.
Black people with basketballs.

1317
01:23:42,332 --> 01:23:44,402
You're putting everyone at risk!

1318
01:23:44,492 --> 01:23:47,086
It's not your fault. But that's the fact.

1319
01:23:47,372 --> 01:23:49,761
If you're so scared, you move out.

1320
01:23:50,692 --> 01:23:51,647
Please.

1321
01:23:52,172 --> 01:23:53,321
Start...

1322
01:23:54,292 --> 01:23:56,601
...by moving out of my apartment now.

1323
01:23:56,772 --> 01:23:58,683
I came here in good faith.

1324
01:23:59,492 --> 01:24:00,607
Now, out!

1325
01:24:02,572 --> 01:24:05,086
You were a fat blowhard at Buckley...

1326
01:24:05,252 --> 01:24:07,288
...and you're a fat blowhard now!

1327
01:24:07,372 --> 01:24:10,409
I'll enforce the provision
on unacceptable situations.

1328
01:24:10,692 --> 01:24:14,844
Another word and you'll have
an unacceptable situation up your ass!

1329
01:24:16,292 --> 01:24:17,566
March!

1330
01:24:17,652 --> 01:24:19,449
[Scattered laughter]

1331
01:24:23,572 --> 01:24:26,564
That goes for the rest of you too! Out!

1332
01:24:36,772 --> 01:24:38,524
SHERMAN: I said, "Get out!"

1333
01:24:38,612 --> 01:24:39,965
[Chaotic yelling]

1334
01:24:41,932 --> 01:24:44,207
Parasites! Everybody out!

1335
01:24:44,492 --> 01:24:47,689
Out of my house! Out of my apartment!

1336
01:24:50,212 --> 01:24:51,531
Out of my life!

1337
01:24:51,612 --> 01:24:52,806
[Gunshot]

1338
01:24:56,612 --> 01:24:59,001
[Shouts] Sherman McCoy is dead!

1339
01:24:59,372 --> 01:25:02,921
Sherman McCoy of Park Avenue
and Wall Street...

1340

[Gunshot]

1341
01:25:04,932 --> 01:25:09,210
...will never be Sherman McCoy again!

1342
01:25:14,732 --> 01:25:19,248
PETER: Meanwhile,just a few blocks away,
I was being praised and congratulated.

1343
01:25:19,652 --> 01:25:22,530
It should have been
a triumphant yours truly...

1344
01:25:22,892 --> 01:25:24,245
...but it wasn't.

1345
01:25:24,932 --> 01:25:28,447
My encounter with the real
Sherman McCoy was spoiling everything.

1346
01:25:29,092 --> 01:25:30,684
Truth has a way of doing that.

1347
01:25:30,772 --> 01:25:32,285
Daddy, dinner.

1348
01:25:32,452 --> 01:25:36,286
-Yes. Shall we take Peter with us?
-Lovely.

1349
01:25:36,532 --> 01:25:39,330
Pay full attention to this story.

1350
01:25:39,532 --> 01:25:42,842
We look better and better
the more we do for the Lambs.

1351
01:25:43,012 --> 01:25:45,287
These poor little Lambs.

1352
01:25:45,572 --> 01:25:47,961
These fuzzy-wuzzy little wogs!

1353
01:25:48,052 --> 01:25:49,246
[Laughter]

1354
01:25:51,892 --> 01:25:54,360
Phone call for you in the office.

1355
01:25:55,332 --> 01:25:58,881
Thank you. I'm expecting a call
about the story.

1356
01:25:59,212 --> 01:26:01,885
I'll see you at dinner. Thank you.

1357
01:26:18,692 --> 01:26:20,250
PETER: Where's the phone?

1358
01:26:20,332 --> 01:26:21,765
CAROLINE: I lied.

1359
01:26:22,532 --> 01:26:24,762
I wanted to see you alone.

1360
01:26:24,852 --> 01:26:26,001
[Door locks]

1361
01:26:26,092 --> 01:26:28,481
I'm going to do you a favor.

1362
01:26:28,852 --> 01:26:32,003
PETER: Does this mean I'll finally get
into your panties?

1363
01:26:34,892 --> 01:26:37,406
You don't deserve this, Peter.

1364
01:26:37,492 --> 01:26:38,891
[Peter cackles]

1365
01:26:39,892 --> 01:26:42,008
CAROLINE: I'm going to tell you
something.

1366
01:26:42,092 --> 01:26:44,765
PETER: I'm with some people right outside.

1367
01:26:46,732 --> 01:26:48,324
Relax, darling.

1368
01:26:48,412 --> 01:26:49,606
[Peter laughs]

1369
01:26:51,532 --> 01:26:52,931
Do you remember...

1370
01:26:53,412 --> 01:26:57,724
...my pretty little Italian friend?
The painter.

1371
01:26:59,372 --> 01:27:01,966
Frederico. No. Franco.

1372
01:27:02,212 --> 01:27:03,611
CAROLINE: Filippo.

1373
01:27:03,692 --> 01:27:05,125
The shit.

1374
01:27:07,252 --> 01:27:09,243
PETER: You are very intoxicated.

1375
01:27:11,172 --> 01:27:15,484
Filippo has run off with a little slut
you should know about.

1376
01:27:19,292 --> 01:27:20,805
Isn't that dangerous?

1377
01:27:23,092 --> 01:27:24,923
At the very least, unsanitary?

1378
01:27:25,012 --> 01:27:26,684
CAROLINE: Shut up, Peter.

1379
01:27:26,852 --> 01:27:28,444
You're not listening.

1380
01:27:28,772 --> 01:27:32,606
Her name is Maria Ruskin.

1381
01:27:34,412 --> 01:27:36,801
She was subletting my apartment.

1382
01:27:39,892 --> 01:27:42,360
She was also subletting Filippo.

1383
01:27:45,572 --> 01:27:47,164
As it turns out...

1384
01:27:47,852 --> 01:27:52,607
...she was in the car with Sherman McCoy
when he had his little mishap.

1385
01:27:55,372 --> 01:27:56,930
You're joking.

1386
01:27:57,172 --> 01:27:58,685
I never joke.

1387
01:28:00,812 --> 01:28:03,042
CAROLINE: She was in the bloody car.

1388
01:28:05,612 --> 01:28:06,886
How do you know?

1389
01:28:08,692 --> 01:28:10,808
CAROLINE: The apartment was bugged.

1390
01:28:12,052 --> 01:28:14,043
They had a wire in the intercom.

1391
01:28:15,652 --> 01:28:18,883
CAROLINE: They wanted to prove
I wasn't living there.

1392
01:28:19,972 --> 01:28:21,405
Which I wasn't.

1393
01:28:23,172 --> 01:28:26,721
Now I've lost the apartment
and the boyfriend.

1394
01:28:29,932 --> 01:28:31,684
Do you know where they are?

1395
01:28:31,772 --> 01:28:32,761
No.

1396
01:28:37,892 --> 01:28:40,964
I am trusting you to find them.

1397
01:28:44,492 --> 01:28:45,925
When you do...

1398
01:28:46,732 --> 01:28:48,450
...give them this.

1399
01:28:50,252 --> 01:28:53,881
Tell them it's from the little twat
who turned them in.

1400
01:28:55,612 --> 01:28:59,048
PETER: Thank you for seeing me
on such short notice, Mr. Ruskin.

1401
01:28:59,252 --> 01:29:00,526
Peter Fallow.

1402
01:29:00,692 --> 01:29:03,206
I'm a good friend of your wife.

1403
01:29:03,372 --> 01:29:04,964
My wife. My wife.

1404
01:29:05,292 --> 01:29:08,807
I'm glad she's not here.
Otherwise I couldn't have a drink.

1405
01:29:09,292 --> 01:29:12,489
A Courvoisier VSOP. Put it in a sidecar.

1406
01:29:12,692 --> 01:29:13,761
Where is Maria?

1407
01:29:13,852 --> 01:29:16,366
Italy. She's always in Italy.

1408
01:29:16,652 --> 01:29:19,041
She's young. She needs young people.

1409
01:29:19,212 --> 01:29:20,964
I know what goes on.

1410
01:29:21,132 --> 01:29:23,088
I'll want to talk to her.

1411
01:29:23,252 --> 01:29:24,924
My office has her number.

1412
01:29:27,092 --> 01:29:31,131
I'm not supposed to drink,
but I love a sidecar.

1413
01:29:31,372 --> 01:29:33,442
So you're on The City Light?

1414
01:29:34,012 --> 01:29:37,925
We're profiling the new tycoons.
Naturally, we thought of you.

1415
01:29:38,252 --> 01:29:40,368
Good. Good. I like that.

1416
01:29:40,732 --> 01:29:43,610
New tycoons. What do you want to know?

1417
01:29:45,452 --> 01:29:48,046
RUSKIN: The best one happened
a few weeks ago.

1418
01:29:49,772 --> 01:29:53,128
My jackass pilot lands long
and the plane goes off the runway.

1419
01:29:53,292 --> 01:29:54,930
I was on the plane.

1420
01:29:55,212 --> 01:29:58,887
We were going to Mecca.
The plane is full of Arabs with animals.

1421
01:29:59,092 --> 01:30:03,290
Goats, sheep, chickens. They don't
go anywhere without their animals.

1422
01:30:03,572 --> 01:30:07,406
We had to put plastic in the cabins.
They urinate, they defecate.

1423
01:30:07,692 --> 01:30:12,891
Anyway, the plane goes off the runway
and lands into that sand with a jolt!

1424
01:30:13,132 --> 01:30:17,683
The right wing tip digs into the sand
and spins around in a circle.

1425
01:30:18,092 --> 01:30:21,767
Three hundred and sixty degrees.
I'm scared shitless. Panic!

1426
01:30:22,252 --> 01:30:26,086
I look in the cabin. In there, calm, quiet...

1427
01:30:26,412 --> 01:30:29,290
...they're picking up their luggage
and animals...

1428
01:30:29,492 --> 01:30:32,848
...and looking out the window
at a little fire on the wings.

1429
01:30:33,052 --> 01:30:36,488
They're waiting for the doors
to open like nothing happened!

1430
01:30:36,692 --> 01:30:38,330
Then it dawns on me.

1431
01:30:38,612 --> 01:30:40,364
They think it's normal!

1432
01:30:40,452 --> 01:30:41,646
[Coughs]

1433
01:30:42,452 --> 01:30:44,329
That's how you stop a plane!

1434
01:30:44,572 --> 01:30:47,769
Stick the wing in the sand
and let it spin until it stops!

1435
01:30:47,852 --> 01:30:49,046
[Cackles]

1436
01:30:50,132 --> 01:30:51,531
[Sputters]

1437
01:30:52,652 --> 01:30:55,849
They'd never been on a plane before!
What do they know?

1438
01:30:56,172 --> 01:30:58,242
They think this is how you do it!

1439
01:30:58,732 --> 01:30:59,926
[Chokes]

1440
01:31:06,012 --> 01:31:07,411
Mr. Ruskin?

1441
01:31:15,692 --> 01:31:16,966
Mrs. Ruskin?

1442
01:31:17,212 --> 01:31:20,488
I'm Peter Fallow.
I want to express my sympathies.

1443
01:31:20,692 --> 01:31:22,284
How very kind.

1444
01:31:22,612 --> 01:31:24,170
Did you know Arthur?

1445
01:31:24,332 --> 01:31:27,290
Actually, I was quite close to him
when he died.

1446
01:31:29,132 --> 01:31:33,762
I have reprobated myself,
over and over again, for not being there.

1447
01:31:34,092 --> 01:31:37,129
I understand that
you're Sherman McCoy's lover.

1448
01:31:37,452 --> 01:31:38,521
Excuse me?

1449
01:31:38,612 --> 01:31:42,924
And that you were driving the car
on the night of that unfortunate accident.

1450
01:31:43,212 --> 01:31:46,966
-Sherman would never tell you that.
-Tell me what happened that night.

1451
01:31:47,052 --> 01:31:49,441
Listen, Mr. Peckerhead.

1452
01:31:49,852 --> 01:31:53,003
I am here for my husband's funeral.
Understand?

1453
01:31:53,292 --> 01:31:56,204
Go away. Disappear. Disintegrate.

1454
01:31:59,092 --> 01:32:02,926
PETER: Yes, yes, yes.
This story was getting better every day.

1455
01:32:03,412 --> 01:32:04,811
I could smell it.

1456
01:32:05,052 --> 01:32:07,327
Hell, some of it was even true.

1457
01:32:07,412 --> 01:32:08,606
[Chuckles]

1458
01:32:08,692 --> 01:32:12,048
I was back on track.
I was a reporter again.

1459
01:32:16,652 --> 01:32:19,689
You're a muckraking yellow journalist!

1460
01:32:19,852 --> 01:32:24,323
You print this story without so much
as a by-your-leave to me or the Reverend.

1461
01:32:24,692 --> 01:32:26,250
Who do you think you are?

1462
01:32:26,332 --> 01:32:28,288
PETER: For chrissakes, calm down.

1463
01:32:28,372 --> 01:32:31,045
ANNIE LAMB: You have to keep
your voices down.

1464
01:32:32,972 --> 01:32:36,885
Sherman McCoy was not driving the car.
I think I can prove it.

1465
01:32:37,012 --> 01:32:38,001
So what?

1466
01:32:38,092 --> 01:32:41,801
This is our case. Right here.
The hospital is the guilty party.

1467
01:32:42,252 --> 01:32:43,526
The hospital?

1468
01:32:43,732 --> 01:32:47,566
The hospital. A young man comes in
with a cerebral concussion.

1469
01:32:47,852 --> 01:32:49,570
They treat him for a broken wrist.

1470
01:32:49,652 --> 01:32:53,691
That is our case. That is the lawsuit
we'll bring against the hospital.

1471
01:32:53,932 --> 01:32:57,607
That is what we have been
working toward all this time.

1472
01:32:57,812 --> 01:33:00,406
And you are confusing the issue.

1473
01:33:01,452 --> 01:33:03,363
What about Sherman McCoy?

1474
01:33:03,852 --> 01:33:05,365
What about the truth?

1475
01:33:05,492 --> 01:33:06,925
Congratulations.

1476
01:33:07,732 --> 01:33:09,609
You're a reporter again.

1477
01:33:10,732 --> 01:33:13,292
Don't forget where your story came from.

1478
01:33:13,612 --> 01:33:16,331
REV. BACON: That's right.
You our boy, Peter.

1479
01:33:16,852 --> 01:33:19,685
You take care of us
and we'll take care of you.

1480
01:33:20,092 --> 01:33:25,041
I promise you that is going
to be a very profitable relationship...

1481
01:33:25,452 --> 01:33:27,363
...for all of us.

1482
01:33:27,452 --> 01:33:28,726
[Sobbing]

1483
01:33:39,772 --> 01:33:44,892
Annie, I know nothing can heal
the wound that you've suffered.

1484
01:33:46,412 --> 01:33:51,281
But $10,000,000 in damages
will make your grief more comfortable.

1485
01:33:59,372 --> 01:34:01,169
I could use a few things.

1486
01:34:01,772 --> 01:34:06,971
I feel that the presentation of my person
should be carefully designed.

1487
01:34:08,172 --> 01:34:11,050
I think I should have the right wardrobe.

1488
01:34:11,372 --> 01:34:15,684
So if Mr. Fox's limousine could pick me up
tomorrow morning...

1489
01:34:16,172 --> 01:34:18,003
...I could do some shopping.

1490
01:34:20,652 --> 01:34:21,926
Certainly.

1491
01:34:24,412 --> 01:34:26,482
PETER: I printed the story they wanted.

1492
01:34:28,852 --> 01:34:31,924
PETER: Ifyou work in a whorehouse,
there's only one thing to be.

1493
01:34:32,012 --> 01:34:33,843
The best whore in the house.

1494
01:34:34,092 --> 01:34:38,131
And I was beginning to see
even greater possibilities in my situation.

1495
01:34:38,412 --> 01:34:41,131
They're going to sue the hospital.

1496
01:34:42,292 --> 01:34:43,930
All they want is money.

1497
01:34:45,132 --> 01:34:49,011
Can you imagine using a tragedy like this
for your own selfish motives?

1498
01:34:49,172 --> 01:34:50,651
It really is terrible.

1499
01:34:50,732 --> 01:34:52,245
Shut up, asshole!

1500
01:34:56,492 --> 01:35:00,326
What is happening to my campaign?
The People versus Sherman McCoy?

1501
01:35:01,452 --> 01:35:02,931
Where is my issue?

1502
01:35:04,012 --> 01:35:05,764
Where is my cause?

1503
01:35:07,132 --> 01:35:08,690
Where is my hope?

1504
01:35:12,012 --> 01:35:14,572
We've got to talk to this Ruskin woman.

1505
01:35:20,012 --> 01:35:24,005
You go to the press. Tell them we're going
to question the woman.

1506
01:35:24,212 --> 01:35:28,728
If she's the woman in the car,
she faces possible charges, etc., etc.

1507
01:35:32,492 --> 01:35:33,720
WEISS: And you!

1508
01:35:34,772 --> 01:35:37,161
Mr. Wise-Guy-Know-It-All-Shitface!

1509
01:35:37,452 --> 01:35:40,330
You got us into this!
You're going to get us out.

1510
01:35:40,532 --> 01:35:42,443
Look at me when I talk to you!

1511
01:35:43,412 --> 01:35:47,928
Go to this broad.
Tell her she's in a whole lot of trouble.

1512
01:35:48,412 --> 01:35:52,849
But, if she's willing to cooperate,
if she'll say what we want her to say...

1513
01:35:53,012 --> 01:35:54,923
...we will grant her immunity.

1514
01:35:57,172 --> 01:35:59,083
What are you waiting for? Go!

1515
01:36:03,372 --> 01:36:04,487
Today?

1516
01:36:05,452 --> 01:36:07,841
Her husband's funeral is today.

1517
01:36:10,252 --> 01:36:13,927
I don't care if today is
her mother's bar mitzvah.

1518
01:36:14,412 --> 01:36:16,164
Go to her. Now!

1519
01:36:20,652 --> 01:36:23,883
I hear you did some creative wiring
in the building.

1520
01:36:24,692 --> 01:36:27,286
You bugged
Caroline Heftshank's apartment.

1521
01:36:27,412 --> 01:36:29,972
PETER: In three minutes,
I had what I needed.

1522
01:36:30,252 --> 01:36:33,608
It was more than a story.
I had the makings of a book.

1523
01:36:33,812 --> 01:36:36,406
A great book. A prize-winning effort.

1524
01:36:36,892 --> 01:36:38,325
All I needed was a finish.

1525
01:36:38,412 --> 01:36:41,131
-Do you have the tape upstairs?
-I got it.

1526
01:36:41,612 --> 01:36:44,410
PETER: I shipped off a present
to McCoy's lawyer...

1527
01:36:44,492 --> 01:36:46,210
...and waited for the fireworks.

1528
01:36:46,292 --> 01:36:49,364
SHERMAN: [On tape] I don't feel
terrifically sexy at the moment.

1529
01:36:49,452 --> 01:36:52,728
MARIA: [On tape] You know I'm a sucker
for a soft dick, Sherman.

1530
01:36:52,812 --> 01:36:55,201
SHERMAN: [On tape] You are incorrigible.

1531
01:36:55,692 --> 01:36:58,490
That is me! That's Maria!
Where did you get this?

1532
01:36:58,572 --> 01:36:59,561
Listen!

1533
01:37:02,132 --> 01:37:06,250
SHERMAN: We could still go to the police.
We could get a talented lawyer.

1534
01:37:06,412 --> 01:37:09,449
MARIA: And put our heads right
into the tiger's mouth?

1535
01:37:09,652 --> 01:37:11,802
I'm the one who was driving the car.

1536
01:37:12,052 --> 01:37:15,203
Shouldn't I be the one
to make that decision?

1537
01:37:15,692 --> 01:37:17,648
And I say no. I say no.

1538
01:37:18,932 --> 01:37:22,242
The apartment was wired?
It was bugged all that time?

1539
01:37:22,412 --> 01:37:23,527
Why?

1540
01:37:23,692 --> 01:37:24,761
Who knows?

1541
01:37:24,892 --> 01:37:29,443
Whoever sent this tape is either a fan
of yours or not a fan of Maria's.

1542
01:37:29,812 --> 01:37:31,643
Then we have this as evidence!

1543
01:37:31,732 --> 01:37:34,485
This tape is illegal. Totally illegal.

01:48:59,772 --> 01:49:03,651
And did that surprise you?

1717
01:49:03,972 --> 01:49:05,564
I was shocked.

1718
01:49:06,372 --> 01:49:11,241
There are certain qualities of virtue
that I admire in a human being.

1719
01:49:11,972 --> 01:49:13,530
Virtues that I hope...

1720
01:49:13,732 --> 01:49:15,324
...I possess myself.

1721
01:49:15,412 --> 01:49:17,562
MARIA: [On tape] We have time
for a quickie.

1722
01:49:17,652 --> 01:49:18,926
What do you say?

1723
01:49:19,012 --> 01:49:20,809
[Crowd gasps and murmurs]

1724
01:49:25,812 --> 01:49:28,804
SHERMAN: [On tape] I don't feel
terrifically sexy at the moment.

1725
01:49:28,892 --> 01:49:32,362
MARIA: [On tape] You know I'm a sucker
for a soft dick, Sherman.

1726
01:49:35,332 --> 01:49:37,243
SHERMAN: You are incorrigible.

1727
01:49:39,452 --> 01:49:43,365
SHERMAN: We could still go to the police.
We could get a talented lawyer.

1728
01:49:43,492 --> 01:49:45,926
MARIA: And put our heads
into the tiger's mouth?

1729
01:49:46,012 --> 01:49:48,162
I'm the one who was driving the car.

1730
01:49:48,252 --> 01:49:49,651
[Crowd roars]

1731
01:49:51,732 --> 01:49:53,324
[Chaotic yelling]

1732
01:49:55,812 --> 01:49:57,211
JUDGE: Order!

1733
01:50:02,292 --> 01:50:03,691
[Crowd yells]

1734
01:50:06,532 --> 01:50:08,568
Order in here, goddamn it! Order!

1735
01:50:13,372 --> 01:50:15,124
Approach the bench.

1736
01:50:17,732 --> 01:50:19,165
Now, gentlemen.

1737
01:50:23,812 --> 01:50:24,881
Damn it.

1738
01:50:26,172 --> 01:50:27,890
That can't be used.

1739
01:50:43,612 --> 01:50:45,523
-Whose tape is this?
-Mine.

1740
01:50:45,852 --> 01:50:46,887
Shut up!

1741
01:50:54,052 --> 01:50:56,930
I remind you that you are still under oath.

1742
01:51:01,532 --> 01:51:04,126
Did you record this conversation?

1743
01:51:05,532 --> 01:51:07,170
Yes, sir, I did.

1744
01:51:07,932 --> 01:51:10,127
I recorded the conversation on this tape.

1745
01:51:10,212 --> 01:51:12,043
My tape. This is my tape...

1746
01:51:12,252 --> 01:51:13,810
...of my conversation.

1747
01:51:14,852 --> 01:51:16,410
I recorded it.

1748
01:51:26,012 --> 01:51:27,411
Get out of my face.

1749
01:51:29,612 --> 01:51:30,522
All of you!

1750
01:51:30,932 --> 01:51:32,331
[Crowd roars]

1751
01:51:32,972 --> 01:51:35,247
You can't let them get away with this!

1752
01:51:37,252 --> 01:51:38,526
Order!

1753
01:51:39,972 --> 01:51:41,963
JUDGE: Order in the court!

1754
01:51:44,772 --> 01:51:47,969
You insist on testing the will of this court?

1755
01:51:48,452 --> 01:51:50,522
Now shut up and sit down!

1756
01:51:50,612 --> 01:51:52,204
[Crowd quiets]

1757
01:52:03,452 --> 01:52:04,567
Very well.

1758
01:52:05,652 --> 01:52:08,530
In the case of
The People versus Sherman McCoy...

1759
01:52:12,732 --> 01:52:15,769
...based on the evidence contained
in this recording...

1760
01:52:18,372 --> 01:52:21,808
...I order the indictment dismissed
in the interest of justice.

1761
01:52:21,892 --> 01:52:23,883
[Crowd roars]

1762
01:52:29,052 --> 01:52:31,168
That's not justice, you racist pig!

1763
01:52:32,612 --> 01:52:33,647
Racist?

1764
01:52:38,332 --> 01:52:40,892
You dare call me racist?

1765
01:52:45,212 --> 01:52:46,964
I say unto you...

1766
01:52:47,972 --> 01:52:51,169
...what does it matter
the color of a man's skin...

1767
01:52:51,452 --> 01:52:52,851
...if witnesses...

1768
01:52:52,932 --> 01:52:54,684
...perjure themselves?

1769
01:52:55,292 --> 01:52:56,691
If a prosecutor...

1770
01:52:57,252 --> 01:52:59,163
...enlists the perjurers?

1771
01:53:00,292 --> 01:53:02,203
When a district attorney...

1772
01:53:03,172 --> 01:53:05,128
...throws a man to the mob...

1773
01:53:05,372 --> 01:53:07,283
...for political gain?

1774
01:53:08,092 --> 01:53:10,162
When men of the cloth...

1775
01:53:12,772 --> 01:53:14,967
...men of God...

1776
01:53:16,412 --> 01:53:18,482
...take the prime cuts?

1777
01:53:24,932 --> 01:53:26,570
Is that justice?

1778
01:53:33,412 --> 01:53:35,004
I don't hear you.

1779
01:53:40,252 --> 01:53:42,812
I'll tell you whatjustice is.

1780
01:53:44,412 --> 01:53:45,845
Justice...

1781
01:53:46,852 --> 01:53:48,410
...is the law.

1782
01:53:50,052 --> 01:53:51,644
And the law...

1783
01:53:52,132 --> 01:53:54,521
...is man's feeble attempt...

1784
01:53:55,652 --> 01:53:59,167
...to set down the principles of decency.

1785
01:54:01,892 --> 01:54:03,291
Decency.

1786
01:54:04,572 --> 01:54:06,290
And decency is not a deal!

1787
01:54:08,132 --> 01:54:12,045
It isn't an angle, or a contract or a hustle.

1788
01:54:14,372 --> 01:54:15,964
Decency....

1789
01:54:22,652 --> 01:54:27,089
Decency is what
your grandmother taught you.

1790
01:54:31,132 --> 01:54:33,202
It's in your bones.

1791
01:54:37,572 --> 01:54:39,130
Now you go home.

1792
01:54:41,692 --> 01:54:46,720
Go home and be decent people.

1793
01:54:51,292 --> 01:54:53,044
Be decent.

1794
01:55:02,692 --> 01:55:05,081
Mr. McCoy, you're free to go.

1795
01:55:05,652 --> 01:55:07,529
[Dramatic instrumental music]

1796
01:55:09,412 --> 01:55:11,289
I don't fucking believe this.

1797
01:55:13,452 --> 01:55:14,441
Shit!

1798
01:55:21,412 --> 01:55:23,846
PETER: So we come to the end
of our story.

1799
01:55:24,772 --> 01:55:27,332
That was the last I saw of Sherman McCoy.

1800
01:55:27,612 --> 01:55:29,409
The last anyone saw of him.

1801
01:55:29,732 --> 01:55:30,926
He was gone...

1802
01:55:31,612 --> 01:55:34,968
...in a blaze of glory. A hero for our times.

1803
01:55:35,332 --> 01:55:38,404
Or as close to a hero
as we're likely to get these days.

1804
01:55:42,492 --> 01:55:44,084
[Cheering and applause]

[Light instrumental music]

1806
01:55:50,972 --> 01:55:54,647
WEISS: And now, without further ado,
the man of the moment.

1807
01:55:55,332 --> 01:55:57,323
The winner of the Pulitzer Prize...

1808
01:55:57,412 --> 01:56:00,370
...the National Book Award
and every other prize you can win.

1809
01:56:00,452 --> 01:56:02,966
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Peter Fallow.

[Light instrumental music]

1811
01:56:25,572 --> 01:56:29,247
PETER: Sherman, who started with
so much, lost everything.

1812
01:56:29,732 --> 01:56:31,450
But he gained his soul.

1813
01:56:31,652 --> 01:56:34,212
Whereas I, who started with so little...

1814
01:56:34,692 --> 01:56:36,205
...gained everything.

1815
01:56:36,612 --> 01:56:40,287
"But what does it profit a man
if he gains the world and loses.... "

1816
01:56:40,772 --> 01:56:41,887
Ah, well.

1817
01:56:42,492 --> 01:56:44,562
There are compensations.
