:58:01
I want to preempt this situation.
I don't want it to go any further.

:58:06
What does that mean?
:58:07
I want to take the initiative.
:58:09
I want to go to the police with Maria...
:58:12
...with Mrs. Ruskin,
and tell them what happened.

:58:15
I feel morally certain
that what we did was right...

:58:19
...in the circumstances we were in.
:58:22
Yeah, you Wall Street honchos
are real gamblers.

:58:28
What are you, nuts?
:58:30
They will devour you.
:58:33
-Eat you alive.
-Why?

:58:35
Forget that it's a political football.
:58:37
Forget about the TV and Reverend Bacon...
:58:40
...and Weiss's upcoming election.
:58:43
Remember that everyday, the Bronx DA
prosecutes people with names...

:58:47
...like Tiffany Latour, Sancho Rodriguez...
:58:51
...Chong Wong and Shabazz Tamali.
:58:54
So he's dying to get his hands on a nice
white couple like you and Mrs. Ruskin.

:58:59
I mean, Biscuit City.
:59:02
Open your mouth and they will arrest you.
:59:04
They will make a big show of the arrest.
It will be very unpleasant. Guaranteed.

:59:10
And you don't want to be arrested
in the South Bronx.

:59:17
Put him on.
:59:19
I'll hold.
:59:21
I'll need to talk to Mrs. Ruskin too.
:59:25
I understand you went to Yale.
:59:27
Yeah. You too?
:59:30
What did you think of it?
:59:32
It was okay, as law schools go.
:59:35
They give you the scholarly view.
:59:38
And it's good for anything you want to do
that doesn't involve real people.

:59:45
Andruitti, you guinea bastard!
:59:52
I'm sitting here with Mr. Sherman McCoy.
