:56:01
If that's what you wanted.
:56:07
I think what I should do is...
:56:12
...talk to an attorney.
:56:15
So I casually read him his rights.
:56:17
Then he sits down on the guy's desk.
:56:20
And his eyes get bigger
and he starts double-talking like crazy.

:56:23
I know that there's something there.
:56:26
Mr. Weiss, I think we got him.
:56:29
Got who?
:56:31
Sherman McCoy. We got him.
:56:33
You think it's him?
:56:35
It's him! This guy is Park Avenue.
:56:38
His father ran Dunning, Sponget and Leach.
His wife is a socialite.

:56:42
Does this put an end
to this white-justice shit?

:56:45
We have zip on him.
:56:47
We could bring him in for questioning,
then go public.

:56:51
Go public? With what?
The only witness is in a coma, likely to die.

:56:55
Don't listen. You got a speech to make.
:56:58
Send a signal to the poor people
of the city.

:57:00
Let them know justice is blind.
:57:02
Let them know that rich whites
get the same treatment as poor blacks.

:57:06
You must give the people hope.
:57:09
You mean, we nail the WASP?
:57:12
To the wall.
:57:15
I like this man.
:57:18
So I tell him, "I'm your lawyer
from Legal Aid."

:57:21
He says, "I don't want a nigger lawyer.
I want a Jew."

:57:25
Nice guy.
:57:27
-It's his third drug arrest. He wants a deal.
-He'll say he was at the scene?

:57:31
He'll say whatever you want him to say.
:57:34
Get me Andruitti. Tell him it's urgent
about this Lamb shit.

:57:39
Suppose this other fellow comes forward.
There was another fellow. He was big--

:57:44
I believe you. It was a set-up.
They were going to rob you.

:57:48
He has good reasons not to come forward.
:57:51
Now, you just sit tight.
:57:54
Look, you were recommended
as the best criminal lawyer around.

:57:58
But I didn't come here to....
