The Bonfire of the Vanities Page #9

Beekman Place, snug like a bug.

781

00:
51:39,532 -- 00:51:42,205

Twelve-foot ceilings, a wing for them,

one for the help.

782

00:
51:42,292 -- 00:51:44,044

They think money'll protect them.

783

00:
51:44,132 -- 00:51:45,884

You stupid sons of b*tches!

784

00:
51:50,852 -- 00:51:54,925

I'd like to light a fire under their

white asses. Let them see how it feels.

785

00:
51:55,012 -- 00:51:58,163

Let the Third World see the smoke

and come after them!

786

00:
51:58,652 -- 00:52:03,646

Let them feel what it's like when every

Puerto Rican, West Indian, Cuban, Korean...

787

00:
52:03,732 -- 00:52:07,168

Albanian, Filipino, black man

from every borough...

788

00:
52:07,492 -- 00:52:10,325

The future knows how to cross a bridge!

789

00:
52:12,412 -- 00:52:13,481

You laugh.

790

00:
52:14,212 -- 00:52:17,443

You laugh! All right!

Here's what we're going to do!

791

00:
52:17,732 -- 00:52:20,929

We're going to turn this thing around

if it kills us!

792

00:
52:21,212 -- 00:52:24,170

We'll prove to these black motherfuckers--

793

00:
52:24,452 -- 00:52:25,885

Pardon my language.

794

00:
52:26,092 -- 00:52:31,086

We'll prove to these n*ggers

that this administration loves them!

795

00:
52:31,652 -- 00:52:33,404

No matter what it takes.

796

00:
52:33,772 -- 00:52:36,161

I am no racist hymie.

797

00:
52:37,252 -- 00:52:38,446

By November...

798

00:
52:39,332 -- 00:52:42,529

they are going to be thinking of me as...

799

00:
52:44,732 -- 00:52:47,690

the first black district attorney

of Bronx County.

800

00:
52:50,492 -- 00:52:52,722

They're going to beg me to be mayor.

801

00:
52:53,172 -- 00:52:54,969

We'll walk away with that election.

802

00:
52:55,052 -- 00:52:56,087

No question!

803

00:
52:56,172 -- 00:52:57,685

That's what we'll do!

804

00:
52:57,772 -- 00:52:58,841

Yes!

805

00:
52:59,292 -- 00:53:03,922

If we have to screw every white a**hole

from Albany to Park Avenue, we will!

806

00:
53:14,852 -- 00:53:16,444

Here he comes now.

807

00:
53:16,612 -- 00:53:18,330

-Tony, hi.

-It's Eddie, sir.

808

00:
53:18,412 -- 00:53:20,846

I'm Detective Martin,

this is Detective Goldberg.

809

00:
53:20,932 -- 00:53:24,288

We're investigating a car accident.

Maybe you heard about it.

810

00:
53:27,692 -- 00:53:29,808

Yes! On television.

811

00:
53:30,052 -- 00:53:31,963

Last night. My wife...

812

00:
53:32,212 -- 00:53:36,524

We said, "We have a Mercedes

and the license starts with 'R.'"

813

00:
53:36,652 -- 00:53:38,005

You and a lot of people.

814

00:
53:38,092 -- 00:53:39,320

Going up?

815

00:
53:39,532 -- 00:53:41,887

Yeah. Yes, yes, I will.

816

00:
53:42,372 -- 00:53:43,646

Should we...?

817

00:
53:43,812 -- 00:53:46,246

-Is it bad time for you?

-No, no...

818

00:
53:48,932 -- 00:53:50,809

We just have a few questions.

819

00:
53:51,332 -- 00:53:54,130

-Was your car in use the night it happened?

-When?

820

00:
53:54,292 -- 00:53:55,725

Tuesday, a week ago.

821

00:
53:55,812 -- 00:53:57,643

Let me think.

822

00:
53:57,772 -- 00:53:59,649

Anybody else use your car?

823

00:
53:59,852 -- 00:54:01,604

My wife sometimes.

824

00:
54:01,892 -- 00:54:03,120

The men at the garage.

825

00:
54:03,212 -- 00:54:06,170

Parking garage? You leave your car

and they park it?

826

00:
54:06,372 -- 00:54:08,488

Can we go see it?

827

00:
54:09,772 -- 00:54:11,364

The car? Now?

828

00:
54:11,572 -- 00:54:15,042

Since we're here.

There's certain things to look for.

829

00:
54:15,332 -- 00:54:18,051

We don't find them, we're out of your hair.

830

00:
54:18,292 -- 00:54:20,328

So you want to look at the car?

831

00:
54:20,812 -- 00:54:22,530

I see. I see.

832

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.

833

00:
54:27,812 -- 00:54:31,009

We're sorry for the inconvenience,

but it's routine.

834

00:
54:31,172 -- 00:54:32,491

I understand.

835

00:
54:32,772 -- 00:54:37,846

But if there is a routine,

then I ought to follow the routine...

836

00:
54:37,932 -- 00:54:41,720

that's appropriate to me,

to someone with a car in this situation.

837

00:
54:41,812 -- 00:54:42,847

You see?

838

00:
54:43,812 -- 00:54:45,723

No, I don't follow.

839

00:
54:46,412 -- 00:54:49,961

If there's a routine

in an investigation like this...

840

00:
54:50,212 -- 00:54:53,727

there must also be a routine

for a person like me.

841

00:
54:54,892 -- 00:54:57,645

For the owner of a car

with a license number.

842

00:
54:57,892 -- 00:54:59,848

That's what I need to consider.

843

00:
55:00,652 -- 00:55:02,085

The routine.

844

00:
55:03,212 -- 00:55:05,328

We just want to look at your car.

845

00:
55:06,212 -- 00:55:08,328

That's what I mean. You see?

846

00:
55:09,052 -- 00:55:09,848

No.

847

00:
55:10,732 -- 00:55:12,882

Excuse me, Mr. McCoy.

848

00:
55:13,572 -- 00:55:15,642

Do you want to tell us something?

849

00:
55:15,732 -- 00:55:16,721

No.

850

00:
55:18,052 -- 00:55:19,485

How do you mean?

851

00:
55:19,972 -- 00:55:23,169

I mean, if there is,

now is the time to tell us.

852

00:
55:23,332 -- 00:55:25,243

Before things get complicated.

853

00:
55:25,332 -- 00:55:26,651

No, no, no...

854

00:
55:26,732 -- 00:55:29,565

I just think that to be certain...

855

00:
55:29,812 -- 00:55:32,770

to be safe, sure, I think--

856

00:
55:35,172 -- 00:55:39,006

If you want to cooperate, that'd be great.

857

00:
55:40,452 -- 00:55:42,920

If you have a reason not to cooperate...

858

00:
55:43,012 -- 00:55:46,527

you don't have to say anything.

That's your right.

859

00:
55:46,692 -- 00:55:49,286

If you want, you can say nothing at all.

860

00:
55:49,972 -- 00:55:52,281

You also have the right to an attorney.

861

00:
55:52,612 -- 00:55:54,682

For that matter...

862

00:
55:55,252 -- 00:55:57,766

if you lack funds for an attorney...

863

00:
55:58,052 -- 00:56:01,010

the state will provide you

with one free of charge.

864

00:
56:01,732 -- 00:56:03,450

If that's what you wanted.

865

00:
56:07,052 -- 00:56:09,407

I think what I should do is...

866

00:
56:12,332 -- 00:56:14,050

talk to an attorney.

867

00:
56:15,092 -- 00:56:17,560

So I casually read him

his rights.

868

00:
56:17,732 -- 00:56:20,405

Then he sits down

on the guy's desk.

869

00:
56:20,492 -- 00:56:23,882

And his eyes get bigger

and he starts double-talking like crazy.

870

00:
56:23,972 -- 00:56:25,963

I know that there's something there.

871

00:
56:26,052 -- 00:56:28,327

Mr. Weiss, I think we got him.

872

00:
56:29,932 -- 00:56:31,001

Got who?

873

00:
56:31,252 -- 00:56:33,163

Sherman McCoy. We got him.

874

00:
56:33,412 -- 00:56:34,845

You think it's him?

875

00:
56:35,492 -- 00:56:38,052

It's him! This guy is Park Avenue.

876

00:
56:38,212 -- 00:56:42,683

His father ran Dunning, Sponget and Leach.

His wife is a socialite.

877

00:
56:42,772 -- 00:56:45,161

Does this put an end

to this white-justice sh*t?

878

00:
56:45,252 -- 00:56:47,004
