:11:00
I want to welcome the
Revs. Williams and Birch...

:11:03
- You got the probation report?
- In the office.

:11:05
I'll be there in a minute.
:11:06
- And my dear friend
Reverend Milton Parks...

:11:09
...of the First Church of Harlem...
:11:10
...Reverend Chapman
and Reverend Murray.

:11:13
Thank you
for coming here today.

:11:15
I know it wasn't easy for you.
:11:17
Well, what can I say?
How do I start this?

:11:20
There is one thing, as mayor...
:11:22
...that I will never get over...
:11:26
...and that is the death
of a police officer.

:11:29
There is one thing in life
that I will never get over...

:11:32
...and that is the death
of an innocent child.

:11:37
But this is an incident
that won't go away...

:11:39
Tino Zapatti's probation report.
:11:44
The whole city...
:11:45
... all parts of the city...
:11:47
... Bushwick, Jamaica,
Washington Heights...

:11:49
... Brownsville, Harlem...
:11:52
This thing looks okay.
:11:54
Very okay. But
there is a conviction.

:11:56
Criminal possession
in the fourth degree.

:11:58
In the fourth degree. A 4-C.
It's a probational offense.

:12:02
Practically a misdemeanor.
:12:03
Kevin, there are 4-Cs,
and there are 4-Cs.

:12:08
You keep looking at that
as if it weren't kosher.

:12:10
A cut of meat is kosher.
A piece of fish...

:12:13
...savory foods are kosher.
But a probation report is not kosher.

:12:17
A probation report is merely
a probation report.

:12:21
I am a good Louisiana
lapsed Catholic, Abe.

:12:23
Don't talk to me about kosher.
Give it to me straight.

:12:26
What's wrong with this?
:12:28
It's too kosher.
:12:32
Translate that for me.
:12:34
The Virgin looks pregnant to me.
:12:39
Look. The supervisor signed this.
:12:41
So what?
:12:42
That's a lot of weight for a 4-C.
:12:44
So what happened...
:12:46
...to the original
little probation officer?

:12:48
Where is his signature?
:12:51
Do you know this supervisor?
:12:53
His name is Schwartz.
:12:54
- A landsman of yours?
- Landsman...

:12:56
...landsman.
:12:57
Stop trying your Yiddish out on me.
:12:59
You sound like a Shakespearean actor
from a Savannah pogrom.
