:31:00
On Bruckner Boulevard!
:31:02
Innocently walking along
minding his own business.

:31:05
A clear case of hit-and-run.
:31:08
But there were no witnesses.
Without a witness, you have no case.

:31:13
You got what he told his mother.
:31:15
It's hearsay.
:31:16
You and I may believe it,
but it's not admissible in a court of law.

:31:21
If this boy was born on Park Avenue...
:31:23
...and was run down by two niggers
in a Pontiac...

:31:27
...then you'd have a case, right?
:31:29
I work Park Avenue
and Bruckner Boulevard.

:31:31
There's good and bad in both places.
:31:34
We'll try to help this lady...
:31:36
...but there's not much to go on.
:31:40
I want you to make an investment here.
:31:43
An investment in steam control.
:31:47
Steam control?
:31:49
Steam control.
:31:51
A righteous steam is building up
in the souls of my people.

:31:55
And that steam is ready to blow!
:31:58
I see.
:31:59
On Judgment Day, I am your safety valve.
:32:03
Because when it blows, and it will...
:32:06
...how grateful you will be
that I am on your side.

:32:10
The one nigger who can control
the steam and save your white ass...

:32:16
...from being burned
off the face of the earth.

:32:18
So to speak.
:32:23
Thank you. We'll see what we can do.
:32:26
Excuse me.
:32:39
Thank you.
:32:42
He said....
:32:44
He said it started with an "R."
:32:48
The second letter was an "E"...
:32:52
...or a "P. "
:32:53
Those were the first two letters
of the license plate.
