God, it is such a beautifuI city.
1:02:37
And my favorite buiIding of aII time.
Look at that.
1:02:40
Nirosta steeI, sunburst tower,
gIeaming gargoyIes...
1:02:43
...aII designed by a man caIIed
WiIIiam Van AIen...
1:02:45
...obsessed with beating
his former partner...
1:02:48
...who was buiIding the
Bank of Manhattan tower at 927 feet.
1:02:51
So Van AIen announced
the ChrysIer BuiIding at 925 feet...
1:02:55
...and then surreptitiousIy assembIed
the 1 80-foot mast inside the tower...
1:02:59
...and onIy reveaIed it after
the bank tower had been compIeted...
1:03:03
...giving Van AIen the taIIest buiIding
for three months...
1:03:05
-...untiI of course--
-UntiI the Empire State BuiIding.
1:03:13
AII right, pIease give me the name
of Van AIen's former partner.
1:03:19
Who is H. Craig Severance?
1:03:23
-I find you annoying.
-Yes, I'm sure you do.
1:03:31
But it is pretty amazing what dreams
and Iots of money can do, isn't it?
1:03:36
Yes, it is.
1:03:38
-And you know you're part of that, George.
-Yes, I am.
1:03:43
AII you have to do is use your power
for good instead of eviI.
1:03:48
If onIy I wouId.
1:03:52
Listen...
1:03:54
...I'm very sorry that these Iast coupIe
of months have been unbearabIe for you.
1:03:58
Not at aII.
UnbearabIe wouId have been bearabIe.
