The Bonfire of the Vanities Page #14

1263

01:
25:32,452 -- 01:25:36,286

-Yes. Shall we take Peter with us?

-Lovely.

1264

01:
25:36,532 -- 01:25:39,330

Pay full attention to this story.

1265

01:
25:39,532 -- 01:25:42,842

We look better and better

the more we do for the Lambs.

1266

01:
25:43,012 -- 01:25:45,287

These poor little Lambs.

1267

01:
25:45,572 -- 01:25:47,961

These fuzzy-wuzzy little wogs!

1268

01:
25:51,892 -- 01:25:54,360

Phone call for you in the office.

1269

01:
25:55,332 -- 01:25:58,881

Thank you. I'm expecting a call

about the story.

1270

01:
25:59,212 -- 01:26:01,885

I'll see you at dinner. Thank you.

1271

01:
26:18,692 -- 01:26:20,250

Where's the phone?

1272

01:
26:20,332 -- 01:26:21,765

I lied.

1273

01:
26:22,532 -- 01:26:24,762

I wanted to see you alone.

1274

01:
26:26,092 -- 01:26:28,481

I'm going to do you a favor.

1275

01:
26:28,852 -- 01:26:32,003

Does this mean I'll finally get

into your panties?

1276

01:
26:34,892 -- 01:26:37,406

You don't deserve this, Peter.

1277

01:
26:39,892 -- 01:26:42,008

I'm going to tell you

something.

1278

01:
26:42,092 -- 01:26:44,765

I'm with some people right outside.

1279

01:
26:46,732 -- 01:26:48,324

Relax, darling.

1280

01:
26:51,532 -- 01:26:52,931

Do you remember...

1281

01:
26:53,412 -- 01:26:57,724

my pretty little Italian friend?

The painter.

1282

01:
26:59,372 -- 01:27:01,966

Frederico. No. Franco.

1283

01:
27:02,212 -- 01:27:03,611

Filippo.

1284

01:
27:03,692 -- 01:27:05,125

The sh*t.

1285

01:
27:07,252 -- 01:27:09,243

You are very intoxicated.

1286

01:
27:11,172 -- 01:27:15,484

Filippo has run off with a little slut

you should know about.

1287

01:
27:19,292 -- 01:27:20,805

Isn't that dangerous?

1288

01:
27:23,092 -- 01:27:24,923

At the very least, unsanitary?

1289

01:
27:25,012 -- 01:27:26,684

Shut up, Peter.

1290

01:
27:26,852 -- 01:27:28,444

You're not listening.

1291

01:
27:28,772 -- 01:27:32,606

Her name is Maria Ruskin.

1292

01:
27:34,412 -- 01:27:36,801

She was subletting my apartment.

1293

01:
27:39,892 -- 01:27:42,360

She was also subletting Filippo.

1294

01:
27:45,572 -- 01:27:47,164

As it turns out...

1295

01:
27:47,852 -- 01:27:52,607

she was in the car with Sherman McCoy

when he had his little mishap.

1296

01:
27:55,372 -- 01:27:56,930

You're joking.

1297

01:
27:57,172 -- 01:27:58,685

I never joke.

1298

01:
28:00,812 -- 01:28:03,042

She was in the bloody car.

1299

01:
28:05,612 -- 01:28:06,886

How do you know?

1300

01:
28:08,692 -- 01:28:10,808

The apartment was bugged.

1301

01:
28:12,052 -- 01:28:14,043

They had a wire in the intercom.

1302

01:
28:15,652 -- 01:28:18,883

They wanted to prove

I wasn't living there.

1303

01:
28:19,972 -- 01:28:21,405

Which I wasn't.

1304

01:
28:23,172 -- 01:28:26,721

Now I've lost the apartment

and the boyfriend.

1305

01:
28:29,932 -- 01:28:31,684

Do you know where they are?

1306

01:
28:31,772 -- 01:28:32,761

No.

1307

01:
28:37,892 -- 01:28:40,964

I am trusting you to find them.

1308

01:
28:44,492 -- 01:28:45,925

When you do...

1309

01:
28:46,732 -- 01:28:48,450

give them this.

1310

01:
28:50,252 -- 01:28:53,881

Tell them it's from the little twat

who turned them in.

1311

01:
28:55,612 -- 01:28:59,048

Thank you for seeing me

on such short notice, Mr. Ruskin.

1312

01:
28:59,252 -- 01:29:00,526

Peter Fallow.

1313

01:
29:00,692 -- 01:29:03,206

I'm a good friend of your wife.

1314

01:
29:03,372 -- 01:29:04,964

My wife. My wife.

1315

01:
29:05,292 -- 01:29:08,807

I'm glad she's not here.

Otherwise I couldn't have a drink.

1316

01:
29:09,292 -- 01:29:12,489

A Courvoisier VSOP. Put it in a sidecar.

1317

01:
29:12,692 -- 01:29:13,761

Where is Maria?

1318

01:
29:13,852 -- 01:29:16,366

Italy. She's always in Italy.

1319

01:
29:16,652 -- 01:29:19,041

She's young. She needs young people.

1320

01:
29:19,212 -- 01:29:20,964

I know what goes on.

1321

01:
29:21,132 -- 01:29:23,088

I'll want to talk to her.

1322

01:
29:23,252 -- 01:29:24,924

My office has her number.

1323

01:
29:27,092 -- 01:29:31,131

I'm not supposed to drink,

but I love a sidecar.

1324

01:
29:31,372 -- 01:29:33,442

So you're on The City Light?

1325

01:
29:34,012 -- 01:29:37,925

We're profiling the new tycoons.

Naturally, we thought of you.

1326

01:
29:38,252 -- 01:29:40,368

Good. Good. I like that.

1327

01:
29:40,732 -- 01:29:43,610

New tycoons. What do you want to know?

1328

01:
29:45,452 -- 01:29:48,046

The best one happened

a few weeks ago.

1329

01:
29:49,772 -- 01:29:53,128

My jackass pilot lands long

and the plane goes off the runway.

1330

01:
29:53,292 -- 01:29:54,930

I was on the plane.

1331

01:
29:55,212 -- 01:29:58,887

We were going to Mecca.

The plane is full of Arabs with animals.

1332

01:
29:59,092 -- 01:30:03,290

Goats, sheep, chickens. They don't

go anywhere without their animals.

1333

01:
30:03,572 -- 01:30:07,406

We had to put plastic in the cabins.

They urinate, they defecate.

1334

01:
30:07,692 -- 01:30:12,891

Anyway, the plane goes off the runway

and lands into that sand with a jolt!

1335

01:
30:13,132 -- 01:30:17,683

The right wing tip digs into the sand

and spins around in a circle.

1336

01:
30:18,092 -- 01:30:21,767

Three hundred and sixty degrees.

I'm scared shitless. Panic!

1337

01:
30:22,252 -- 01:30:26,086

I look in the cabin. In there, calm, quiet...

1338

01:
30:26,412 -- 01:30:29,290

they're picking up their luggage

and animals...

1339

01:
30:29,492 -- 01:30:32,848

and looking out the window

at a little fire on the wings.

1340

01:
30:33,052 -- 01:30:36,488

They're waiting for the doors

to open like nothing happened!

1341

01:
30:36,692 -- 01:30:38,330

Then it dawns on me.

1342

01:
30:38,612 -- 01:30:40,364

They think it's normal!

1343

01:
30:42,452 -- 01:30:44,329

That's how you stop a plane!

1344

01:
30:44,572 -- 01:30:47,769

Stick the wing in the sand

and let it spin until it stops!

1345

01:
30:52,652 -- 01:30:55,849

They'd never been on a plane before!

What do they know?

1346

01:
30:56,172 -- 01:30:58,242

They think this is how you do it!

1347

01:
31:06,012 -- 01:31:07,411

Mr. Ruskin?

1348

01:
31:15,692 -- 01:31:16,966

Mrs. Ruskin?

1349

01:
31:17,212 -- 01:31:20,488

I'm Peter Fallow.

I want to express my sympathies.

1350

01:
31:20,692 -- 01:31:22,284

How very kind.

1351

01:
31:22,612 -- 01:31:24,170

Did you know Arthur?

1352

01:
31:24,332 -- 01:31:27,290

Actually, I was quite close to him

when he died.

1353

01:
31:29,132 -- 01:31:33,762

I have reprobated myself,

over and over again, for not being there.

1354

01:
31:34,092 -- 01:31:37,129

I understand that

you're Sherman McCoy's lover.

1355

01:
31:37,452 -- 01:31:38,521

Excuse me?

1356

01:
31:38,612 -- 01:31:42,924

And that you were driving the car

on the night of that unfortunate accident.

1357

01:
31:43,212 -- 01:31:46,966

-Sherman would never tell you that.

-Tell me what happened that night.

1358

01:
31:47,052 -- 01:31:49,441

Listen, Mr. Peckerhead.
