:45:00
I don't know.
I hadn't thought about it.
:45:02
You're gonna
get yourself a good meal.
:45:05
You're gonna pass on that
double cheeseburger from Roy Rogers.
:45:09
You're going to go to Dominic's
and get takeout, on me.
:45:14
Get a decent meal.
:45:15
But before you go to Dominic's,
go to Macy's...
:45:17
...and get a chair...
:45:18
...with legs and arms.
:45:21
That apartment of yours...
:45:23
...looks like it belongs
in a homeless file.
:45:27
Then it's off to Crate & Barrel
for a knife...
:45:30
...a fork, a spoon...
:45:32
...and a glass while you're at it.
:45:34
Then I'll need a dishwasher.
:45:35
Just throw them out
after you finish eating.
:45:38
It's on me.
:45:40
Get a life.
:45:42
I've got yours.
It's quite enough.
:45:46
You read this?
:45:47
Today's Times editorial?
"Judge or Be Judged"?
:45:52
"Notwithstanding Judge Stern's
distinguished record...
:45:55
...one must ask,
'Would he be on the bench...
:45:57
...if he were not a former
law partner of the mayor's? '"
:46:01
I didn't appoint him.
He was nominated like everybody else.
:46:03
Everybody knows the party
arranges nomination of judges.
:46:07
Whose side are you on?
:46:08
I'm on yours...
:46:10
...and I always will be.
But I smell a hanging party.
:46:14
We should put
distance between ourselves...
:46:16
...and Walter Stern.
- Distance is shit.
:46:18
Distance!
:46:20
Distance is something you do
to your enemies.
:46:22
It's the thing of the '90s to make
friends extinct. Distance...
:46:25
...is the absence of menschkeit.
:46:29
Translate that for me.
:46:30
You don't know what
menschkeit means?
:46:32
I don't.
:46:33
Menschkeit.
:46:35
You know, something between men.
:46:37
It's about honor, character...
:46:41
Untranslatable.
:46:42
That's why it's Yiddish.
:46:43
I didn't know you'd
taken up the language.
:46:45
Abe laid it on me.
:46:47
Abe's a good man.
:46:49
You're a good man, Pappy.
:46:51
Underneath that Louisiana...
:46:53
...cane syrup...
:46:54
...plain red dirt.
:46:57
Not that different from the
pavements of Astoria, where I'm from.
