Yesterday, I was
a respected Jewish liberal.

:51:11
Ten minutes of news like this,
and now I'm a hymie racist pig?

:51:17
The ltalians are going to love this.
:51:19
The lrish, too.
:51:21
And the WASPs.
:51:24
They love this shit more than anybody.
:51:27
They love laughing at me.
:51:30
All the rich sons of bitches.
:51:32
They still think they own this town.
:51:34
They sit in their co-ops, Park Avenue, Fifth,
Beekman Place, snug like a bug.

:51:39
Twelve-foot ceilings, a wing for them,
one for the help.

:51:42
They think money'll protect them.
:51:44
You stupid sons of bitches!
:51:50
I'd like to light a fire under their
white asses. Let them see how it feels.

:51:55
Let the Third World see the smoke
and come after them!

:51:58
Let them feel what it's like when every
Puerto Rican, West lndian, Cuban, Korean...

:52:03
...Albanian, Filipino, black man
from every borough....

:52:07
The future knows how to cross a bridge!
:52:12
You laugh.
:52:14
You laugh! All right!
Here's what we're going to do!

:52:17
We're going to turn this thing around
if it kills us!

:52:21
We'll prove to these black motherfuckers--
:52:24
Pardon my language.
:52:26
We'll prove to these niggers
that this administration loves them!

:52:31
No matter what it takes.
:52:33
I am no racist hymie.
:52:37
By November...
:52:39
...they are going to be thinking of me as...
:52:44
...the first black district attorney
of Bronx County.

:52:50
They're going to beg me to be mayor.
:52:53
We'll walk away with that election.
:52:55
No question!
:52:56
That's what we'll do!
:52:59
If we have to screw every white asshole
from Albany to Park Avenue, we will!
