:25:05
We had a full police escort, along
with bodyguards who were there...
:25:08
... to protect us from any thoughts
we might have of going AWOI...
:25:11
... prior to this press conference.
:25:13
A pair of New Jersey's finest
walked on either side of us...
:25:16
... as we entered
the lobby of the hotel.
:25:19
It was an indication of how
legitimate the Mob had gone...
:25:22
... that they could
bring in the local police...
:25:24
... to guard the façade of their racket.
:25:27
The local chief was a man
named Jack Scaglia.
:25:32
And of course, the two
gentlemen on my right...
:25:35
...who need no introduction,
have come here directly...
:25:38
...from their record-breaking
polio telethon in Miami, Florida.
:25:43
So the first thing I'd like to announce
is that Mr. Sanmarco...
:25:47
I wish I could tell you...
:25:49
... that Sally Sanmarco
was a slim, 6-foot-6 guy...
:25:51
... who looked like a prince
and spoke with an English accent.
:25:54
Then I wouldn't be
falling back on the stereotype.
:25:57
The trouble was, Sally was
straight out of central casting.
:26:02
A gangster
who looked and talked...
:26:04
... just like you would expect
from the movies.
:26:07
How did it feel to raise
all that money for polio?
:26:10
It felt great. It felt really great.
:26:12
From a publicity angle, and in
terms of giving him legitimacy...
:26:15
... this was a huge coup for Sally.
:26:18
Like I said, we were gods.
:26:21
We'd only been in the New York area
for an hour or so, during which time...
:26:25
... we were constantly watched
by police and reporters...
:26:28
... which ended up being
a good thing for us.
:26:31
We got you our best bridal suite.
:26:34
Fucking nice, huh?
:26:37
People talk about having fancy
apartments and hotel rooms...
:26:40
...on the West Side of Manhattan.
What do they see?
:26:42
Fucking New Jersey.
Here, you see New York City.
:26:53
Unfortunately,
Vince and I were acquainted...
:26:55
... with the dead girl in the bathroom
of our hotel suite in New Jersey.
