Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,560
See this guy?
2
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,850
I know this guy.
He's a car thief.
3
00:02:24,980 --> 00:02:28,320
He know that most car alarms operate by a simple electric sensor.
4
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,610
You just jiggle the door, you complete a circuit
5
00:02:30,730 --> 00:02:32,190
and trigger the siren.
6
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,860
I've been stealing cars since I was 14.
7
00:02:34,990 --> 00:02:38,570
The truth is, alarms make my job easier, not harder.
8
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:42,080
Say somebody's walking by and sees me fiddling with the ignition.
9
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,330
So sorry, ma'am.
10
00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:46,170
These stupid alarms, you know?
11
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,630
He knows that they can be set off by someone
12
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:51,880
breaking into the vehicle or bumping into it...
13
00:02:52,010 --> 00:02:55,800
or some invisible machination of the car's interior,
14
00:02:55,930 --> 00:02:58,970
or for that matter, by other alarms.
15
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:02,470
He also knows that they go off accidentally so often
16
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,900
that in New York at least no one pays any attention.
17
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:09,400
I'm Detective Dante Moretti, NYPD.
18
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,480
I've been on auto crimes for seven years
19
00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:14,280
and I'd say in that time, well, in Manhattan anyway,
20
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,360
a car alarm has not prevented
the theft or burglary of a single vehicle,
21
00:03:17,490 --> 00:03:20,080
not one. Ever.
22
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Frankly, that's a lot of BS.
23
00:03:22,330 --> 00:03:25,750
I'm Richie McIntyre of the Security Industry Trade Association.
24
00:03:25,870 --> 00:03:28,750
We estimate that in 2003 alone car alarms...
25
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,210
Today in New York City
26
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:33,550
- Administrative Code Section 24-221...
- Asshole.
27
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:35,340
...states that all car alarms
28
00:03:35,470 --> 00:03:37,550
must automatically shut off within three minutes.
29
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,800
I don't think that's quite fast enough.
30
00:03:39,930 --> 00:03:41,600
I'll tell you why.
31
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,430
Let's say it's 4:00 a.m.
and you've been up since 1:00
32
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,640
with your colicky newborn.
33
00:03:48,810 --> 00:03:51,770
And just as you're getting her down...
34
00:03:56,780 --> 00:03:59,200
Let's say you're reading German philosophy.
35
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,410
Hegel, for instance.
36
00:04:11,630 --> 00:04:13,920
You're too stupid really to understand any of this
37
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:16,130
but in your dogged way you've been reading and rereading
38
00:04:16,260 --> 00:04:18,180
the same passage for the past half-hour.
39
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,140
And just as you're beginning to get it...
40
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:23,890
Unfolded becoming. Unfolded becoming.
41
00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:37,320
Or say you haven't gotten it up for the past month,
42
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,490
the usual reasons...
43
00:04:40,610 --> 00:04:44,950
boredom, rage, short positions in the market...
44
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,870
but tonight for some reason
45
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,080
you feel an unexpected ease in that department.
46
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,970
Come on, David.
47
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:09,270
Just let it go.
48
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,900
Shut up, you bastard!
49
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:17,440
At times like those
50
00:05:17,570 --> 00:05:20,780
you don't really want to wait three minutes, do you?
51
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,820
Or one minute.
52
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:25,160
Or even 30 seconds.
53
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,330
Personally, I don't think we should have to hear it at all.
54
00:05:28,450 --> 00:05:30,370
Maybe you don't either.
55
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:32,540
But unlike you,
56
00:05:32,670 --> 00:05:35,630
I do something about it.
57
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,920
I'm the Rectifier.
58
00:05:39,050 --> 00:05:41,260
Today at City Hall, Mayor Rheinnhardt Schneer
59
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:43,260
met with 178 motorists
60
00:05:43,390 --> 00:05:45,430
whose vehicles have been damaged by a figure
61
00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:48,140
identifying himself only as the Rectifier.
62
00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:49,980
I'm here with one of the victims.
63
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:52,770
This is Allen J Corpitanni of Bayonne, New Jersey.
64
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:55,940
Mr. Corpitanni, could you show us the letter you received?
65
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,610
Could you read it for us?
66
00:05:59,740 --> 00:06:02,150
Yeah. "Dear Allen J Corpitanni,
67
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:04,410
on the evening of April 3rd
68
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:07,030
your burglar alarm disturbed the citizens of New York.
69
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,450
Every time the Rectifier or anyone in his organization
70
00:06:10,580 --> 00:06:12,830
encounters a motor vehicle with its alarm on
71
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,960
for any interval whatsoever"...
he underlined that part...
72
00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:19,420
"it will be damaged.
That is why
73
00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:22,170
you are obliged to repair your battery cable
74
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,090
- at a cost of approximately $200.
- Shut up, you stupid douche.
75
00:06:25,220 --> 00:06:28,220
Subsequent offenses will receive more severe sentences.
76
00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:30,680
The Rectifier." Actually, I fixed it myself
77
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:32,940
with a little wire.
78
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:35,690
Didn't cost me nothing.
79
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:38,900
Mayor Schneer, however, was typically unamused.
80
00:06:39,020 --> 00:06:43,360
I will not tolerate that kind of creep in my city.
81
00:06:43,490 --> 00:06:44,910
Come on, Your Honor,
82
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:47,030
at worst this guy's guilty of a misdemeanor.
83
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,120
We got 316 complaints about him.
84
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,710
At 90 days each and served consecutively, that comes to almost...
85
00:06:54,830 --> 00:06:57,710
78 years.
86
00:06:57,830 --> 00:07:00,420
A WOR poll indicates
87
00:07:00,550 --> 00:07:02,710
that the Rectifier is a popular figure.
88
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:04,880
On Halloween some kids even dressed up as the Rectifier.
89
00:07:05,010 --> 00:07:07,220
Who cares what these morons think?
90
00:07:07,340 --> 00:07:09,810
I'm the mayor, not them.
91
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:12,980
This self-styled Rectifier
92
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,310
is nothing but a two-bit vigilante
93
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,400
rationalizing his immaturity and impotent rage
94
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,570
in the name of justice.
95
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,160
The Rectifier, I presume.
96
00:07:29,030 --> 00:07:31,200
I'm sorry, is there something you want?
97
00:07:31,330 --> 00:07:35,660
Well, first I want you to pay us for the window you broke...
98
00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:39,750
$616 plus tax and installation.
99
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,170
Somebody broke a window?
100
00:07:44,970 --> 00:07:48,090
Yes, somebody did.
101
00:07:50,010 --> 00:07:53,100
You took fingerprints.
102
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Well, these aren't mine.
103
00:07:56,690 --> 00:07:59,560
And even if they were, you would need a court order
104
00:07:59,690 --> 00:08:01,690
to get my fingerprints for comparison.
105
00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:03,980
And for that you need probable cause
106
00:08:04,110 --> 00:08:05,740
which you don't have, so...
107
00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:08,360
Unless you've already been arrested
108
00:08:08,490 --> 00:08:11,330
and the prints are in the system.
109
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:16,160
On three occasions.
110
00:08:16,290 --> 00:08:18,420
Yes.
111
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:20,630
Spent 30 days in the city jail
112
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:23,250
for breaking a window of a Lexus,
113
00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:26,510
trying to turn off the car alarm.
114
00:08:29,090 --> 00:08:30,680
You a reporter?
115
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,640
I write things sometimes.
116
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,680
I can write something about you if you want.
117
00:08:35,810 --> 00:08:37,730
No, thanks.
118
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:39,770
I'm not interested.
119
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:43,730
Fine.
But if I tell the cops and the press that you're the Rectifier
120
00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:46,150
Mayor Schneer will find out.
121
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,650
Schneer hates you, you know that.
122
00:08:47,780 --> 00:08:50,410
- I hate him more.
- How do you know?
123
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:53,370
Schneer hates millions.
124
00:08:53,490 --> 00:08:55,830
I hate one.
125
00:08:55,950 --> 00:08:58,540
My hate's stronger.
126
00:09:01,580 --> 00:09:04,090
Fine. I'll pay you your money.
127
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:06,460
I don't care about the money.
128
00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:09,800
Then what do you care about?
129
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,640
What you're doing, everybody in this city wants to do.
130
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,850
Only they don't have the guts.
131
00:09:14,970 --> 00:09:16,850
How come you're different?
132
00:09:16,970 --> 00:09:20,310
Maybe the question is,
133
00:09:20,430 --> 00:09:23,610
why do people put up with it?
134
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:27,480
Because human beings are sheep.
135
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,280
Even if they see the slaughterhouse,
136
00:09:31,410 --> 00:09:34,660
the door's open, waiting for them,
137
00:09:34,780 --> 00:09:37,080
they go in quietly as if they deserve it.
138
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,830
It's quite pathetic, actually.
139
00:09:40,750 --> 00:09:42,120
Who are you?
140
00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:44,710
Ekaterina Filippovna.
141
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,960
Nice to meet you too, Mr. Owen.
142
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,090
So how did you begin?
143
00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:53,090
How did you get to be the Rectifier?
144
00:09:58,310 --> 00:10:02,100
By not being the Rectifier.
145
00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:14,530
We'd been living in New York for five years at that point
146
00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:16,580
and I liked everything about it,
147
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,740
even the noise at first.
148
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:23,170
But after a while it began to bother me.
149
00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:05,330
Could you close that?
150
00:11:39,410 --> 00:11:42,370
Why had I come here?
151
00:12:08,650 --> 00:12:11,980
That wasn't the first time.
152
00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:18,530
I did that for a couple of years
153
00:12:18,660 --> 00:12:21,990
like a hobby.
154
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:31,880
Lots of things are maddening.
The tax system is maddening.
155
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,670
I know, I know. What I'm saying...
156
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,010
You're saying.
You're always saying, David.
157
00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:38,090
I'm saying what can you do about it?
158
00:12:38,220 --> 00:12:40,470
Hey, guys...
159
00:12:40,590 --> 00:12:44,600
- Nothing.
- We're trying to talk.
160
00:13:00,610 --> 00:13:02,410
Shut up, you bastard!
161
00:13:02,530 --> 00:13:05,370
David, stop.
162
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:11,210
Come on. Come on.
163
00:13:23,390 --> 00:13:25,560
No. No.
164
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,600
Ignore it.
165
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,060
Ignore it. It's not there.
166
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:33,860
- It's there.
- It's not there.
167
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:36,820
- It's there.
- David, David.
168
00:13:53,330 --> 00:13:56,920
Oh, thank you, god.
169
00:13:57,050 --> 00:14:00,880
Here we go. Watch this.
170
00:14:01,010 --> 00:14:04,640
- Is this your car, sir?
- No, sir, it's not.
171
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,760
What are you doing here?
172
00:14:05,890 --> 00:14:07,600
Now what I should have said was...
173
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,810
These alarms have been going off for six hours.
174
00:14:09,930 --> 00:14:11,640
My kid's sick.
It's keeping her awake.
175
00:14:11,770 --> 00:14:14,900
I was just disconnecting the battery so she could get some sleep.
176
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:18,530
Look, I know how you feel, but cars are private property.
177
00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:21,610
You can't just break in.
You have to call us.
178
00:14:21,740 --> 00:14:23,450
I know that.
I knew that.
179
00:14:23,570 --> 00:14:25,410
But what I actually said was...
180
00:14:25,530 --> 00:14:27,370
I did call you!
I called you three times.
181
00:14:27,490 --> 00:14:29,410
In fact, it was only twice.
182
00:14:29,540 --> 00:14:32,250
We came all three times and the alarm wasn't going.
183
00:14:32,370 --> 00:14:34,830
That's because it shuts off for a minute every so often,
184
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,630
then it starts back up again.
If you'd gotten out of your car
185
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:40,550
and stuck around for more than 30 seconds
you might have fucking heard it.
186
00:14:40,670 --> 00:14:42,260
So instead of this...
187
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:44,260
Why don't you go on home to your little angel,
188
00:14:44,380 --> 00:14:46,430
make sure she's all right?
You don't need this mess.
189
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:48,060
- Okay.
- I'll take care of things.
190
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:50,060
- Appreciate it.
- Sure.
191
00:14:50,180 --> 00:14:52,850
That's all right.
All right.
192
00:14:52,980 --> 00:14:54,900
- You guys are great.
- Take care now.
193
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:56,770
...I got this.
194
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:59,650
You're gonna arrest me?
You're gonna arrest me for this?
195
00:14:59,780 --> 00:15:03,110
Why don't you arrest the guy that has that alarm,
196
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,160
keeping everybody up?
197
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,070
As soon as they put me in jail,
198
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,160
in fact, the moment they snapped on the cuffs...
199
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,990
- Watch your head.
- ...I felt calm,
200
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,960
calmer than I'd ever been in my life.
201
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,580
What'd he do?
202
00:15:15,710 --> 00:15:18,000
Busted into a car whose alarm was going off.
203
00:15:18,130 --> 00:15:20,090
Who's gonna take him down to Central Booking?
204
00:15:20,210 --> 00:15:22,670
The two cops drove me down to Central Booking
205
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,300
and the next morning they loaded a bunch of us into a police van
206
00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:28,510
and took us over to Manhattan Criminal Court...
207
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,110
...and left us there in the van for an hour.
208
00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:40,860
- What do you want, man?
- Get me a low-fat yogurt.
209
00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:42,690
No one spoke.
210
00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:46,530
Not one of us said a word for the entire hour.
211
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:12,680
I'm watching this shit.
212
00:16:12,810 --> 00:16:15,020
Come on, let us watch it for chrissake.
213
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:17,060
What are they doing, man?
214
00:16:17,190 --> 00:16:19,270
Why did they change channels?
215
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,860
They weren't even watching.
216
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:24,650
Then I understood.
217
00:16:24,780 --> 00:16:26,820
It was simply to remind us that they were there,
218
00:16:26,950 --> 00:16:30,490
that we were in their power.
219
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,660
What were you doing in the red Volkswagen?
220
00:16:35,790 --> 00:16:39,250
I was trying to disconnect the car alarm.
221
00:16:39,370 --> 00:16:41,460
It had been going off for five hours.
222
00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:43,550
You mean, this is the guy
223
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:47,590
who really did break into the car to turn off the alarm?
224
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,510
That's what all the car thieves say when they get caught.
225
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,260
Oh, that's funny.
226
00:16:54,390 --> 00:16:56,980
Getting arrested was the best thing that ever happened to me,
227
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:59,020
in the Hegelian sense.
228
00:16:59,140 --> 00:17:01,230
It was the negative that transformed me
229
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,030
and led to my becoming what I in fact was.
230
00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:07,240
What were you?
231
00:17:08,450 --> 00:17:10,360
The Rectifier,
232
00:17:10,490 --> 00:17:12,410
potentially.
233
00:17:12,530 --> 00:17:14,830
Potentially?
234
00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:20,000
My becoming unfolded.
235
00:17:28,590 --> 00:17:31,050
Let's get out of here.
236
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:38,180
If you're a writer, what are you doing in a furniture store?
237
00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:41,400
I work for my uncle sometimes.
He lets me use his office.
238
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,440
Office? For what?
239
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,820
To track down all lunatics, bring them to justice.
240
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:48,280
Go on.
What happened afterwards?
241
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,240
What did Helen say when you came home?
242
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,330
I think you should go to jail more often.
243
00:17:57,740 --> 00:18:00,370
Maybe I will.
244
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:16,680
Everybody laughed
245
00:18:16,810 --> 00:18:20,810
but I felt like I could be back there tomorrow.
246
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,020
I used to think that there was nothing you could do about the noise,
247
00:18:25,150 --> 00:18:28,030
but once you get started it's easy.
248
00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:31,070
What's hard is stopping.
249
00:18:33,530 --> 00:18:36,700
So this isn't the first time?
250
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,540
How long have you been doing it?
251
00:18:41,660 --> 00:18:43,580
A couple of years.
252
00:18:43,710 --> 00:18:46,710
A couple of years?
253
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:50,710
Well, never this big.
254
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,510
I mean, mostly just,
255
00:18:53,630 --> 00:18:55,550
you know, letting the air our of tires,
256
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,760
ripping windshield wipers off cars,
257
00:18:57,890 --> 00:19:00,060
stuff like that.
258
00:19:00,180 --> 00:19:03,270
And you never thought to mention it?
259
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:13,280
What else don't I know?
260
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,200
Come on, you do things I don't know about.
261
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,160
I am not breaking into cars and going to jail.
262
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,540
It's like you're a delinquent or a thug.
263
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:23,080
Oh, right, I'm a criminal.
I'm a terrorist. I'm Al-Zarqawi.
264
00:19:23,210 --> 00:19:26,000
Come on, David.
We have a child.
265
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,210
We're supposed to be the adults.
266
00:19:28,340 --> 00:19:30,800
I am the adult. I have the adult job.
267
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,050
I had no idea that our life meant to so little
268
00:19:34,170 --> 00:19:37,050
that you would risk it this way.
What is this all about?
269
00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:39,050
What are you doing?
It doesn't make any sense.
270
00:19:39,180 --> 00:19:41,060
Oh, man.
271
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,850
Forget it.
272
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:29,350
I guess I don't understand why you take it all so personally.
273
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:32,270
I mean, do you...
274
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,690
do you think that the noise is
275
00:20:34,820 --> 00:20:36,780
deliberately directed at you?
276
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:39,740
I don't think
277
00:20:39,870 --> 00:20:42,740
they're out to get me.
278
00:20:44,370 --> 00:20:47,790
In fact, what infuriates me is how indifferent they all are
279
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,460
to me, to you, to everyone.
280
00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:53,960
Close the window, you know.
281
00:20:54,090 --> 00:20:57,050
Don't think about it.
282
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,720
I can't.
283
00:21:02,430 --> 00:21:05,390
You can't close the window?
284
00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:09,100
What if I want it open?
285
00:21:10,650 --> 00:21:13,270
I see.
286
00:21:14,020 --> 00:21:16,650
You don't want an answer.
287
00:21:18,030 --> 00:21:20,570
So what do I do, just turn on the air conditioner,
288
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:23,240
- put in earplugs?
- Yeah.
289
00:21:23,370 --> 00:21:25,540
Or we can get one of those white noise machines.
290
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:27,910
What about the other people?
291
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,330
- What other people?
- People in outdoor cafes,
292
00:21:31,460 --> 00:21:33,920
people that work in garages, that can't close the window,
293
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,590
that don't have air conditioning?
294
00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:39,170
Do we have to worry about them?
295
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:42,840
This is a problem in the world, Helen.
296
00:21:42,970 --> 00:21:45,180
I know it's not as serious
297
00:21:45,310 --> 00:21:48,520
as global warming or funding for chamber music,
298
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,940
but it affects people every day,
299
00:21:53,060 --> 00:21:57,610
tens of thousands of people, I bet millions of people, every day.
300
00:21:59,860 --> 00:22:03,280
And you just want me to adjust to it.
301
00:22:04,830 --> 00:22:07,700
What else can we do?
302
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:11,540
Helen, what if Jonas Salk had this attitude?
303
00:22:11,670 --> 00:22:15,000
What if he had this attitude towards polio?
304
00:22:15,130 --> 00:22:17,250
"Oh, it's polio, you know.
Just adjust to it."
305
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:21,380
Do you think you're a Jonas-Salklike figure?
306
00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:31,980
Okay, babe.
307
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:35,940
I love you, Jonas.
308
00:22:36,060 --> 00:22:38,940
Oh, stop it. Stop it.
309
00:22:39,070 --> 00:22:41,400
I'm serious. I'm serious.
310
00:22:41,530 --> 00:22:43,450
You said you'd stop?
311
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:46,120
Stopping... I've stopped.
312
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,580
Why?
313
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:50,540
Well, Helen doesn't like it.
314
00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:52,540
She thinks I'm crazy.
315
00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:55,330
Which doesn't mean you have to put up with the noise.
316
00:22:55,460 --> 00:22:57,290
I put up with it.
317
00:22:57,420 --> 00:23:00,800
Sometimes I snap, but mostly I put up with it.
318
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,630
- We all do. We put up with worse.
- Like what?
319
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,510
Nuclear proliferation,
320
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,600
religious fanatics.
The world's going to hell, David. Haven't you noticed?
321
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,140
Nothing's perfect.
322
00:23:11,770 --> 00:23:13,520
Nothing's perfect?
323
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,560
Barbara didn't get it.
324
00:23:15,690 --> 00:23:17,770
I thought you were stopping.
325
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,570
Nobody got it.
So I tried other methods.
326
00:23:20,690 --> 00:23:24,030
When I came across a car alarm I'd write down the plate number.
327
00:23:24,150 --> 00:23:26,280
I paid $150 a year for a website
328
00:23:26,410 --> 00:23:28,910
that gave me access to DMV records
329
00:23:29,030 --> 00:23:31,290
and I filed suit against repeat offenders
330
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:33,080
in small claims court.
331
00:23:33,210 --> 00:23:37,040
Are you with us, David?
332
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:40,840
It's a deduction for uncollectible accounts
333
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,800
for the Depco default.
334
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,090
Line 23.
335
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,810
Your Honor, the car alarms in question
336
00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:54,270
have resulted in disturbance of the peace, damage to business,
337
00:23:54,390 --> 00:23:57,520
loss of income and sleep to hundreds
if not thousands of New Yorkers.
338
00:23:57,650 --> 00:23:59,310
Dismissed.
339
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,360
Your Honor, we have neighbors,
block associations, even firefighters...
340
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,940
Dismissed.
341
00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:06,070
...citing evidence that above a certain level
342
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,410
noise can constitute a kind of physical assault that can...
343
00:24:10,530 --> 00:24:13,660
Dismissed!
344
00:24:58,250 --> 00:25:00,330
This was amusing the first time.
345
00:25:00,460 --> 00:25:03,090
It had certain quixotic charm.
346
00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:04,920
Now it's boring.
347
00:25:05,050 --> 00:25:08,180
I'm sorry.
348
00:25:09,130 --> 00:25:10,720
30 days suspended.
349
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,890
If I see you back here
350
00:25:13,010 --> 00:25:15,390
you'll do time.
351
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,190
This is absurd.
352
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:22,560
It's quixotic.
353
00:25:22,690 --> 00:25:25,690
That's not funny.
354
00:25:28,150 --> 00:25:30,700
That house in Nyack is still for sale.
355
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:33,580
I don't want to move to Nyack.
356
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,410
- We could move back to Winnetka.
- You want to go to Winnetka?
357
00:25:37,540 --> 00:25:39,040
No, I...
358
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,500
You can't stand the noise
but you don't want to move where it's quiet.
359
00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:45,090
Because it's wrong, Helen.
The noise is wrong.
360
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:47,090
I seem to be the only one that cares.
361
00:25:47,210 --> 00:25:50,340
So what, David?
Lots of things are wrong.
362
00:25:51,260 --> 00:25:53,550
Just let them be wrong.
363
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,390
What can we do about it?
364
00:25:55,510 --> 00:25:57,810
Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing.
365
00:25:57,930 --> 00:25:59,810
I want you to see a therapist.
366
00:25:59,940 --> 00:26:02,440
This is not a psychological problem.
It's a social problem.
367
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,690
It's a political...
go ahead and get that.
368
00:26:04,820 --> 00:26:06,980
It's not like we're having a conversation or anything.
369
00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:10,110
David, you are having a breakdown.
370
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,780
Can't you see that?
371
00:26:11,910 --> 00:26:14,910
This is all you do.
This is all you talk about.
372
00:26:15,410 --> 00:26:17,580
You are obsessed.
373
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,540
It's affecting Chris.
374
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,460
What do you mean?
What do you mean, it's affecting Chris?
375
00:26:24,590 --> 00:26:27,250
She keeps asking, why does daddy get so upset?
376
00:26:27,380 --> 00:26:30,090
Her teacher said that she's getting short-tempered,
377
00:26:30,220 --> 00:26:32,680
wanted to know if there was anything wrong at home.
378
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,390
Maybe it's a problem with the teacher.
379
00:26:34,510 --> 00:26:37,180
It is not the teacher's problem.
It is you.
380
00:26:37,310 --> 00:26:39,180
You need to let this go.
381
00:26:39,310 --> 00:26:42,900
Just... just let it go.
382
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,610
I can't, okay? I can't.
383
00:26:52,740 --> 00:26:55,370
I can't.
384
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,700
Then leave.
385
00:27:00,660 --> 00:27:03,290
Move out.
386
00:27:13,220 --> 00:27:15,680
All right, we'll go to the country.
387
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,350
We'll...
388
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:20,520
borrow my brother's place for the weekend,
389
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,560
just for the weekend
390
00:27:23,690 --> 00:27:26,310
to see.
391
00:27:28,940 --> 00:27:32,280
Just to see.
392
00:27:39,490 --> 00:27:41,370
What is she doing?
393
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:44,460
Playing with the neighbor's dog.
394
00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:09,440
What is it, a leaf blower?
395
00:28:09,570 --> 00:28:11,320
Yeah.
396
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,990
Some towns have regulations against them.
397
00:28:14,110 --> 00:28:16,740
Not this one.
398
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,660
Evan says the country's quieter but
the noises seem to bother you more.
399
00:28:21,790 --> 00:28:23,700
Who's Evan?
400
00:28:23,830 --> 00:28:26,210
Caitlin's dad.
401
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,840
Look at her. She's blowing everything into the street.
402
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,340
The wind's just gonna blow it right back on.
403
00:28:33,460 --> 00:28:36,220
You think she thinks about the gasoline she's using,
404
00:28:36,340 --> 00:28:38,300
the pollution, the noise?
405
00:28:38,430 --> 00:28:40,720
No.
406
00:28:40,850 --> 00:28:43,930
Whatever happened to rakes?
407
00:28:45,060 --> 00:28:47,730
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to talk to her.
408
00:28:47,850 --> 00:28:49,770
Excuse me!
409
00:28:49,900 --> 00:28:52,570
Hi. Can you turn that off, please?
410
00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:55,320
- What?
- Can you turn it off?
411
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,150
We're just here for the weekend and...
412
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,410
You guys have a rake?
A rake.
413
00:28:59,530 --> 00:29:01,240
- Yeah, I got a rake.
- Yeah, got a rake?
414
00:29:01,370 --> 00:29:02,780
- Yeah.
- You know how to use it?
415
00:29:02,910 --> 00:29:06,000
Is it the dad who hit you?
416
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,000
The mom.
417
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,210
It was mommy's fault.
418
00:29:10,330 --> 00:29:12,460
Did you hit her back?
419
00:29:12,590 --> 00:29:14,340
No.
420
00:29:17,550 --> 00:29:21,680
"Then the sirens sang again
in their irresistible voices.
421
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,810
Odysseus shouted and struggled until he was exhausted.
422
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:28,190
And when the sirens' island was left far behind
423
00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:30,270
his men released him
424
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,900
and drew the wax from their ears."
425
00:29:37,570 --> 00:29:39,360
Good night, honey.
426
00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:46,830
Helen made it clear...
one more strike and I was out.
427
00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:50,170
She wondered if I was mature enough to have a family.
428
00:29:50,290 --> 00:29:53,250
Mature enough?
Did she really say that?
429
00:29:53,380 --> 00:29:55,710
She didn't mean it.
She was frightened.
430
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,420
Of what?
431
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,390
You ever been married?
432
00:30:01,510 --> 00:30:04,180
No.
433
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,320
This is great... all your stuff.
434
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,690
Anyway, after that I realized
435
00:30:18,820 --> 00:30:21,320
I just had to put up with it
436
00:30:21,450 --> 00:30:23,370
like everyone else.
437
00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:26,080
So I did.
438
00:30:28,540 --> 00:30:31,960
I put up with the power saws that firemen started up twice a day
439
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,500
just to make sure they worked.
440
00:30:33,630 --> 00:30:36,710
I put up with backup beepers going off at 5:00 in the morning
441
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,340
on an empty street, their background-level sensors
442
00:30:39,460 --> 00:30:42,720
malfunctioning as usual.
I put up with the ambulances,
443
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,640
the fire engines, the electric sidewalk washers,
444
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,810
trucks that clean out furnaces, the jackhammers,
445
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:51,730
cement pourers, piledrivers, nail guns, boom boxes,
446
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:56,060
the shrieking subways, those pneumatic lifts on buses.
447
00:30:56,190 --> 00:30:58,440
They can scare the life out of you.
448
00:30:58,570 --> 00:31:00,740
Irv? Irv, what is it?
449
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:02,740
Irv!
450
00:31:02,860 --> 00:31:06,620
- Oh my god.
- Are you having chest pains?
451
00:31:08,450 --> 00:31:12,290
- L.
- You have the second leg.
452
00:31:18,170 --> 00:31:19,920
This is nice. What is it?
453
00:31:20,050 --> 00:31:24,260
- Mozart.
- No, I meant the wine.
454
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,600
Do you want to split something?
455
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,770
- H.
- That's the last letter.
456
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:37,440
No, I'm hungry.
457
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,690
Do I have to get every letter or can I just guess?
458
00:31:40,820 --> 00:31:43,780
You can guess.
It's good to guess.
459
00:32:13,770 --> 00:32:16,310
"Truth"!
460
00:32:29,740 --> 00:32:31,580
What are you doing?
That's my car.
461
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:34,370
- Why don't you turn off the alarm?
- It'll stop in a minute.
462
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:36,670
I can't wait that long.
Where's your clicker?
463
00:32:36,790 --> 00:32:38,830
It doesn't work.
What do you want me to do?
464
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,130
Disconnect the fucking thing so it never goes off.
465
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,670
Don't be ridiculous.
466
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,850
Officer, Officer.
467
00:32:54,770 --> 00:32:58,150
You were told you cannot do this.
468
00:32:58,270 --> 00:32:59,730
You have to call us.
469
00:32:59,860 --> 00:33:02,070
- You never come.
- We're here now.
470
00:33:02,190 --> 00:33:03,730
Because I broke the window.
471
00:33:03,860 --> 00:33:05,900
You don't come when the cars are attacking us,
472
00:33:06,030 --> 00:33:08,530
- only when we're attacking the cars.
- The car didn't attack you.
473
00:33:08,660 --> 00:33:11,330
Oh, so what you're saying...
what you're really saying is,
474
00:33:11,450 --> 00:33:14,700
the car matters, we don't.
We're pieces of shit.
475
00:33:14,830 --> 00:33:16,500
He's nuts.
476
00:33:16,620 --> 00:33:19,540
He's not nuts.
He just doesn't understand what he's doing,
477
00:33:19,670 --> 00:33:22,880
what it means in the context.
478
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,050
Why aren't you arresting the real criminals...
479
00:33:25,170 --> 00:33:26,970
the guys from Enron and WorldCom and...
480
00:33:27,090 --> 00:33:29,050
Is this your business, ma'am?
Move.
481
00:33:29,180 --> 00:33:31,050
- Yes, this is my business.
- Move.
482
00:33:31,180 --> 00:33:33,930
This is everybody's business.
483
00:33:38,730 --> 00:33:42,190
Daddy, you promised.
484
00:33:43,940 --> 00:33:46,900
30 days and a $10,000 fine.
485
00:33:47,030 --> 00:33:49,820
And I'm making a note on your jacket.
486
00:33:49,950 --> 00:33:52,570
You show up here again
487
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:55,830
and you'll do a year.
488
00:34:25,570 --> 00:34:26,690
Papi!
489
00:34:26,820 --> 00:34:28,900
Hola, mi nina. Como estas?
490
00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:31,660
Me hacias falta.
491
00:35:00,350 --> 00:35:02,980
Hello?
492
00:35:58,030 --> 00:36:00,660
Welcome back.
493
00:36:06,670 --> 00:36:09,290
Judson fired me.
494
00:36:14,050 --> 00:36:15,970
You packed my stuff.
495
00:36:16,090 --> 00:36:20,300
Are we going on vacation or am I moving out?
496
00:36:20,430 --> 00:36:22,890
You're moving out.
497
00:36:25,730 --> 00:36:29,020
Yeah, Chris!
498
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,150
Daddy!
499
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,900
I missed you so much.
500
00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:37,070
- Did you get my letters?
- All five of them.
501
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,070
I missed you too.
502
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,080
I need you
503
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,330
to score me a goal right now.
504
00:36:44,450 --> 00:36:47,250
I need you to go out there and score me a goal, okay?
505
00:36:47,370 --> 00:36:48,920
- Okay.
- Come on.
506
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,670
I'll be right here.
507
00:37:02,140 --> 00:37:04,560
So who is it?
508
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,650
The guy you're seeing.
509
00:37:11,650 --> 00:37:13,980
Evan.
510
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,990
Evan.
511
00:37:19,660 --> 00:37:21,120
Who the fuck is Evan?
512
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:23,160
David...
513
00:37:23,290 --> 00:37:25,330
Is it a boy or a girl?
514
00:37:25,450 --> 00:37:26,710
He's Caitlin's father.
515
00:37:26,830 --> 00:37:28,750
Caitlin.
516
00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:30,790
Is that the fat one?
517
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,210
No, that's Minerva.
Caitlin's the redhead.
518
00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:37,010
Oh, I like her. She's sexy.
519
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:38,590
David, she's seven.
520
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:40,890
She's sexy. It's not my fault.
521
00:37:41,010 --> 00:37:42,350
I didn't say I wanted...
522
00:37:42,470 --> 00:37:45,470
You know...
523
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,690
I swear to god, they are the same ones...
524
00:37:48,810 --> 00:37:52,560
So is the dad sexy too?
525
00:37:52,690 --> 00:37:54,610
Is...
526
00:37:54,730 --> 00:37:57,860
How is it with you? Do you...
Is he great?
527
00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:59,320
Actually, you know what?
I don't care.
528
00:37:59,450 --> 00:38:02,530
- You know what? It's fun.
- I don't really want to hear it.
529
00:38:02,660 --> 00:38:04,990
You have your little thing, I have mine.
530
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,080
So how long is this...
531
00:38:08,210 --> 00:38:10,460
how long have you been doing this little thing?
532
00:38:10,580 --> 00:38:12,500
A week.
533
00:38:12,630 --> 00:38:14,670
- A week?
- No, I'm at the soccer game.
534
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,670
Excuse me, you know...
535
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,050
- Hold on a second. Hold on.
- I don't know if you noticed,
536
00:38:19,170 --> 00:38:21,390
but when you have a cell phone you don't have to shout.
537
00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:23,510
We used to have these things called booths,
538
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,970
phone booths, you know...
539
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:30,270
...where you wouldn't have to disturb everyone.
540
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,440
Why do you have to leave?
541
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,530
Well, because mom...
542
00:38:36,650 --> 00:38:39,240
Mom and I think it's best
543
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,860
just for now.
544
00:38:40,990 --> 00:38:42,700
'Cause you keep
getting in trouble?
545
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:44,490
Yeah, I guess, more or less.
546
00:38:44,620 --> 00:38:46,620
Look at that guy.
547
00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:48,160
What's he doing?
548
00:38:48,290 --> 00:38:50,370
Putting boats in the water.
549
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:52,210
What kind of boats?
550
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:55,000
I think they're origami boats.
551
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,760
- He made them out of paper.
- Cool.
552
00:39:09,850 --> 00:39:12,270
Is that why they call them sirens,
553
00:39:12,390 --> 00:39:14,310
because of those women?
554
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,060
What women, honey?
555
00:39:16,190 --> 00:39:18,480
Who sang on the rocks.
556
00:39:19,650 --> 00:39:22,280
Yeah, I think you're right.
557
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:27,450
Come on now.
558
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,660
So why can't you be more like Odysseus?
559
00:39:30,790 --> 00:39:33,790
Like him how?
560
00:39:34,250 --> 00:39:36,790
He had his men tie him to the mast
561
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,260
so he didn't wreck the ship.
562
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,810
I'm sorry, honey.
563
00:39:52,810 --> 00:39:55,310
You seem so calm.
564
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,730
Were you really okay with it...
565
00:39:57,860 --> 00:40:00,480
her being with someone else?
566
00:40:00,610 --> 00:40:03,200
I don't know.
Maybe I liked it.
567
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,200
- Why did you like it?
- I don't know.
568
00:40:09,950 --> 00:40:12,620
'Cause I'm crazy.
569
00:40:12,750 --> 00:40:15,710
I'm out of my fucking mind, right?
570
00:40:39,230 --> 00:40:42,110
I'm kidding. I was joking.
571
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,780
- It's a joke.
- You're insane.
572
00:40:44,900 --> 00:40:46,820
No, I'm not.
The prison shrink said I wasn't.
573
00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:50,660
You know what I can't stand?
It's how angry you are all the time.
574
00:40:50,780 --> 00:40:52,700
You like it.
575
00:40:52,830 --> 00:40:55,250
You like being angry.
576
00:40:55,370 --> 00:40:57,750
What are you so angry about?
577
00:40:57,870 --> 00:40:59,670
That I'm impotent.
578
00:40:59,790 --> 00:41:01,300
Not always.
Not even very often.
579
00:41:01,420 --> 00:41:05,470
Not always sexually...
580
00:41:06,170 --> 00:41:08,890
but always.
581
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,510
Always.
582
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,140
It's the buzzer. It's the doorbell.
583
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:20,520
The van is here for your things.
584
00:41:31,780 --> 00:41:34,330
I got a place at 24th and 6th.
585
00:41:34,450 --> 00:41:36,370
Once I moved downtown
586
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,420
I didn't have a job, or a family,
587
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:41,960
or friends really.
588
00:41:42,090 --> 00:41:44,550
All I had was the noise.
589
00:41:44,670 --> 00:41:46,550
Where's my money?
590
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:50,760
Where's my fucking money, man?
I need...
591
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,430
Every night the same alarm.
592
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,270
It wasn't a car.
593
00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:43,690
It had to be one of the buildings on the block,
594
00:42:43,810 --> 00:42:46,440
but which one?
595
00:43:04,670 --> 00:43:06,380
Read me back the last paragraph.
596
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:09,590
No, the one before that.
597
00:43:14,010 --> 00:43:17,180
Excuse me, do you have an alarm in this building,
598
00:43:17,310 --> 00:43:19,220
a burglar alarm?
599
00:43:19,350 --> 00:43:21,390
- We already have one, thanks.
- I know you have one.
600
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,270
No, not you.
601
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,810
It works fine.
602
00:43:24,940 --> 00:43:26,940
That's actually a matter of opinion.
603
00:43:27,070 --> 00:43:30,610
It went off last night for half an hour at 3:00 a.m.
604
00:43:30,740 --> 00:43:33,490
- Did you know that?
- No, you can't cut that.
605
00:43:33,610 --> 00:43:36,370
- The transition won't make sense.
- Hello? Hello?
606
00:43:36,490 --> 00:43:39,080
- Can you hold on?
- Hi.
607
00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:51,760
Why do you think it was our alarm?
608
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,300
I live right across the street.
I heard it go off.
609
00:43:56,430 --> 00:43:58,350
It was...
610
00:43:58,470 --> 00:44:01,310
Is that yours?
611
00:44:01,430 --> 00:44:04,020
Yes. Yeah, I know.
612
00:44:04,140 --> 00:44:08,650
If you were to set it off I would be able to tell.
613
00:44:08,770 --> 00:44:10,690
I can't do that.
614
00:44:10,820 --> 00:44:13,360
But I will have the company recalibrate it
615
00:44:13,490 --> 00:44:15,360
the next time they come.
616
00:44:15,490 --> 00:44:19,200
Is there a number I could call you in case it goes off again?
617
00:44:19,330 --> 00:44:22,080
- Okay, but 400, not 800.
- Take one.
618
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:23,620
Just one.
619
00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:26,580
No, I cut them.
Not you, not Jerry. Me.
620
00:44:26,710 --> 00:44:30,710
This is your business number.
Do you have a cell phone?
621
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,420
I don't have a cell phone.
622
00:44:32,550 --> 00:44:34,510
I'll have it to you by 4:00.
623
00:44:34,630 --> 00:44:38,430
No, no, no, if I do it that fast, it won't be any good.
624
00:44:38,550 --> 00:44:40,810
Okay, 3:00.
625
00:44:40,930 --> 00:44:43,560
Okay, bye.
626
00:44:53,070 --> 00:44:55,860
Excuse me. Excuse me.
627
00:44:56,740 --> 00:44:58,320
- Do you hear that?
- What?
628
00:44:58,450 --> 00:44:59,580
The whistle.
629
00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:02,740
Oh, yeah, that's the intercom.
It does that a lot.
630
00:45:05,620 --> 00:45:08,580
- How do you get it to stop?
- Talk to the super.
631
00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:10,790
How do you find the super?
632
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,420
I don't know.
633
00:45:12,550 --> 00:45:14,420
You live here and you don't know how to find a super?
634
00:45:14,550 --> 00:45:16,550
Sometimes he's around, sometimes he's not.
635
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,090
I don't know where he goes.
636
00:45:21,260 --> 00:45:23,100
Doesn't bother you?
637
00:45:23,220 --> 00:45:24,850
You know what does bother me?
638
00:45:24,980 --> 00:45:27,230
- That manhole cover on 6th.
- What manhole cover?
639
00:45:27,350 --> 00:45:29,980
You can hear it best from over here.
640
00:45:34,190 --> 00:45:35,860
That's not it. There.
641
00:45:35,990 --> 00:45:37,570
And there again.
You heard it?
642
00:45:37,700 --> 00:45:38,860
Yeah, I hear it.
643
00:45:38,990 --> 00:45:40,950
It's every time a car comes down the street.
644
00:45:41,070 --> 00:45:42,830
How could that bother you and not the intercom?
645
00:45:42,950 --> 00:45:45,540
You notice this, I notice that.
646
00:45:45,660 --> 00:45:48,120
Yeah, what?
647
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,130
'Cause you promised it
by Monday, Jack.
648
00:45:51,250 --> 00:45:54,170
Whose fault is that?
649
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,050
No, I didn't say Wednesday...
650
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,830
Yeah.
651
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,670
Thank you.
652
00:46:31,790 --> 00:46:34,880
It was funny how that affected me... the applause.
653
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,380
That's when I realized...
654
00:46:37,510 --> 00:46:40,720
this was my job now, my calling.
655
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,260
Yeah, you have it right...
like Jonas Salk.
656
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,610
After that I never got caught.
657
00:47:01,740 --> 00:47:04,160
I stopped being angry.
658
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,540
I developed a kind of intuition
659
00:47:06,660 --> 00:47:08,620
where the cops would be and where they wouldn't.
660
00:47:08,750 --> 00:47:10,500
It was easy, really.
661
00:47:10,620 --> 00:47:12,750
Once I gave up everything else,
662
00:47:12,870 --> 00:47:15,960
I knew how to be the Rectifier.
663
00:47:19,010 --> 00:47:21,470
What you've been doing is cutting battery cables...
664
00:47:21,590 --> 00:47:23,300
...which kills your basic
665
00:47:23,430 --> 00:47:26,050
factory-installed device.
Two problems:
666
00:47:26,180 --> 00:47:30,140
one... if the guy's got a Nightwatch or a Convoy,
667
00:47:30,270 --> 00:47:31,980
any decent aftermarket alarm,
668
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:34,230
it's got an auxiliary power source, right,
669
00:47:34,350 --> 00:47:36,270
and cutting the battery cable won't even stop it;
670
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,400
and two...
even if it does work, once the cable's fixed...
671
00:47:39,530 --> 00:47:42,910
...the alarm's back in business.
672
00:47:43,030 --> 00:47:44,700
What about the alarm trumpet?
673
00:47:44,820 --> 00:47:46,830
Alarm trumpet? No, no, no.
674
00:47:46,950 --> 00:47:50,120
Those are only on older car alarms.
Now it all goes to the horn.
675
00:47:50,250 --> 00:47:54,120
All right?
So in this particular case you go straight for the electronics.
676
00:47:54,250 --> 00:47:56,460
It's usually right down here,
677
00:47:56,590 --> 00:47:59,170
under the dash. Voila.
678
00:48:05,340 --> 00:48:07,640
You know, it's funny,
679
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,100
the alarm right in your ear can drive you crazy,
680
00:48:10,220 --> 00:48:13,600
but the ones further away can sound kind of nice,
681
00:48:13,730 --> 00:48:15,730
sort of plaintive.
682
00:48:15,850 --> 00:48:18,730
You think so?
683
00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:22,900
Yeah.
684
00:48:39,340 --> 00:48:41,210
Fucking son of a...
685
00:48:41,340 --> 00:48:43,880
I know, I know.
686
00:48:44,010 --> 00:48:46,640
But I've got an idea.
Follow my logic on this one, okay?
687
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,300
We piggyback on this guy.
We oppose him personally, of course,
688
00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:52,720
but we support the idea, the issue.
It's very popular with the people.
689
00:48:52,850 --> 00:48:54,730
You might bounce a couple of points in the polls.
690
00:48:54,850 --> 00:48:57,980
- Fuck that shit. Fuck it.
- Okay, fuck it.
691
00:48:58,110 --> 00:49:00,980
See if we can use the Patriot Act or
any of the antiterrorist statutes...
692
00:49:01,110 --> 00:49:02,690
- Mr. Mayor.
- ...on this piece of shit.
693
00:49:02,820 --> 00:49:04,490
Mr. Mayor, we're ready.
694
00:49:04,610 --> 00:49:05,780
Great.
695
00:49:05,900 --> 00:49:08,530
Now?
696
00:49:10,870 --> 00:49:15,160
This self-styled Rectifier
697
00:49:15,290 --> 00:49:17,250
is nothing but a two-bit vigilante
698
00:49:17,370 --> 00:49:20,250
rationalizing his immaturity and impotent rage
699
00:49:20,380 --> 00:49:22,840
in the name of justice.
700
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,310
Looks like fun.
701
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,560
But I'm doing it, not you.
702
00:49:40,690 --> 00:49:42,980
Oh, you think it's easy for me,
703
00:49:43,110 --> 00:49:46,110
I'm only a fiction? Perhaps.
704
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:48,860
But then my suffering is also a fiction.
705
00:49:48,990 --> 00:49:50,910
Your is real.
706
00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:54,490
And you just sit there.
707
00:50:29,610 --> 00:50:32,740
Out of the way, Katia.
708
00:51:17,410 --> 00:51:20,160
The Rectifier, I presume.
709
00:51:20,830 --> 00:51:22,710
It was stupid,
710
00:51:22,830 --> 00:51:26,380
the whole business.
711
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,300
I wrecked the ship.
712
00:51:29,420 --> 00:51:32,380
Let me ask you something.
713
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,220
The noise was driving you crazy,
714
00:51:36,350 --> 00:51:38,720
so you moved from the Upper West Side
715
00:51:38,850 --> 00:51:41,230
where it's relatively quiet
716
00:51:41,350 --> 00:51:43,060
down here where it's twice as loud.
717
00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:45,360
Why?
718
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,030
It's the one place I could find
719
00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:50,440
that I could afford.
It's near my daughter's...
720
00:51:50,570 --> 00:51:52,490
Because you love the noise.
721
00:51:52,610 --> 00:51:54,870
You hate it, but you love hating it.
722
00:51:54,990 --> 00:51:57,780
- It's your muse.
- My muse?
723
00:51:57,910 --> 00:52:00,500
You've read Hegel but you haven't understood him.
724
00:52:00,620 --> 00:52:03,250
I'm sick of Hegel.
I wish I'd never heard of him.
725
00:52:03,370 --> 00:52:09,210
The genius of a car alarm is that you can't talk back to it.
726
00:52:09,340 --> 00:52:13,340
It has a mouth, but no ears.
727
00:52:13,470 --> 00:52:15,890
It makes you pay attention to it, but it pays none to you.
728
00:52:16,010 --> 00:52:17,760
And how does that make me love it?
729
00:52:17,890 --> 00:52:19,930
Because it's safe.
730
00:52:20,060 --> 00:52:22,060
You summon all your rage,
731
00:52:22,180 --> 00:52:25,060
you hurl yourself at it
732
00:52:25,190 --> 00:52:28,150
and nothing happens.
733
00:52:28,650 --> 00:52:30,530
The whole secret of power
734
00:52:30,650 --> 00:52:33,280
is to make it unresponsive.
735
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,110
The more arbitrary it is,
736
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:39,790
the more cruel and irrational,
737
00:52:39,910 --> 00:52:43,460
the more we respect it,
738
00:52:43,580 --> 00:52:46,830
the more we love it.
739
00:52:48,090 --> 00:52:50,750
So what are we gonna do about it?
740
00:52:58,350 --> 00:53:01,180
You liked me right away at my uncle's store, didn't you?
741
00:53:01,310 --> 00:53:04,140
Liked you?
Is that the word?
742
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,810
You wanted to fuck me?
743
00:53:06,940 --> 00:53:09,560
I wanted to smack you, you were so rude.
744
00:53:09,690 --> 00:53:12,070
And?
745
00:53:12,190 --> 00:53:14,860
And maybe I wanted to look at you.
746
00:53:14,990 --> 00:53:16,110
That's all?
747
00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:17,740
No.
748
00:53:17,860 --> 00:53:22,330
And once I'd done that I would want to do other things...
749
00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:25,870
touch you,
750
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,920
get you aroused,
751
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,750
listen to you come.
752
00:53:33,210 --> 00:53:36,260
Is that the same as wanting to fuck you?
753
00:53:36,380 --> 00:53:39,470
When you imagine it,
754
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,310
do you think about me coming or you coming?
755
00:53:42,430 --> 00:53:44,600
You.
756
00:53:44,730 --> 00:53:47,600
And am I astounded
757
00:53:47,730 --> 00:53:51,610
by your sexual prowess,
758
00:53:51,730 --> 00:53:54,940
haunted and blasted, weeping of pleasure?
759
00:53:55,070 --> 00:53:57,780
Something like that.
760
00:53:57,900 --> 00:54:01,330
So I'm the object and you're the subject.
761
00:54:01,450 --> 00:54:05,660
No, no, no, you can't astound an object.
762
00:54:05,790 --> 00:54:07,370
We're both subjects.
763
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:10,080
So I'm the object and you're the subject?
764
00:54:10,210 --> 00:54:13,050
You can't astound an object.
765
00:54:13,170 --> 00:54:15,630
How can you make me come but by rendering me an object?
766
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,470
I can't make you come
767
00:54:18,590 --> 00:54:22,100
if you keep talking.
Stop talking.
768
00:54:23,260 --> 00:54:27,730
I can't make you come unless you agree to it.
769
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,190
No.
770
00:54:31,690 --> 00:54:34,690
I want you to force me.
771
00:54:36,110 --> 00:54:39,360
I want you to make me do things I don't want to do.
772
00:54:52,540 --> 00:54:56,050
What was that, another notch on your belt?
773
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,470
We both get a notch, no?
774
00:55:00,590 --> 00:55:02,550
- Hey!
- What now?
775
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,060
Where did you guys go?
776
00:55:06,180 --> 00:55:08,770
Well, you can keep breaking into cars
777
00:55:08,890 --> 00:55:12,230
until they put you away for a year,
778
00:55:12,350 --> 00:55:14,560
or we can do something real.
779
00:55:14,690 --> 00:55:17,900
What do you mean by real?
780
00:55:19,150 --> 00:55:21,570
Excuse me, is this the board of elections?
781
00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:29,200
I think this is the board of elections.
782
00:55:29,330 --> 00:55:31,960
Can I get the packet for initiative petitions?
783
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:33,880
- You want to run for office?
- No.
784
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,130
I think they mean the ballot initiative.
785
00:55:36,250 --> 00:55:37,420
Ballot initiative?
786
00:55:37,550 --> 00:55:39,720
- Yeah?
- No.
787
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,090
Did you mean the citizen-initiated referendum
788
00:55:42,220 --> 00:55:43,800
to amend the city charter?
789
00:55:43,930 --> 00:55:45,350
You got to go to the city clerk for that.
790
00:55:45,470 --> 00:55:46,640
No, you don't.
791
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,220
Yes, you do.
It's right there in the book.
792
00:55:48,350 --> 00:55:50,020
You can do it right here.
793
00:55:50,140 --> 00:55:52,730
We've only got packets for running for office.
794
00:55:52,850 --> 00:55:54,770
Packets? What packets?
There are no packets.
795
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:56,900
Yes, there are.
And you get them from the city clerk.
796
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:59,650
You can draw up your own petition form for people to sign.
797
00:55:59,780 --> 00:56:02,860
I think we've got a sample somewhere.
798
00:56:02,990 --> 00:56:05,070
How many signatures do we need to get on the ballot?
799
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,910
5% of the number of city residents
800
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,290
who voted in the last election for governor
801
00:56:10,410 --> 00:56:12,370
or 30,000, whichever is less.
802
00:56:12,500 --> 00:56:15,580
"Fewer."
803
00:56:16,630 --> 00:56:19,420
So we just make one of these up ourselves?
804
00:56:19,550 --> 00:56:22,380
Yes.
Don't forget to write on top what you're petitioning for.
805
00:56:22,510 --> 00:56:24,640
But you still got to file them with city clerk.
806
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,510
- That's true.
- May I keep this?
807
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,100
Sure.
808
00:56:28,220 --> 00:56:30,890
Thank you.
809
00:56:34,980 --> 00:56:36,730
Get away from me.
810
00:56:36,860 --> 00:56:39,150
"So as to preserve,
protect and promote
811
00:56:39,270 --> 00:56:41,440
the public health, safety and welfare
812
00:56:41,570 --> 00:56:43,990
and the peace and quiet of the inhabitants of the city,
813
00:56:44,110 --> 00:56:46,950
we forbid any and all use of car alarms
814
00:56:47,070 --> 00:56:49,200
within the five boroughs of New York City,
815
00:56:49,330 --> 00:56:51,750
violations to be punished by a fine
816
00:56:51,870 --> 00:56:54,580
of not less than $100 per incident."
817
00:56:54,710 --> 00:56:56,630
What about backup beepers?
818
00:56:56,750 --> 00:56:58,630
No, no backup beepers.
819
00:56:58,750 --> 00:57:00,920
They make sense to people and if we try to argue...
820
00:57:01,050 --> 00:57:04,840
Makes sense?
They infantilize us.
821
00:57:04,970 --> 00:57:06,970
They're overprotective.
822
00:57:07,090 --> 00:57:08,680
Put in backup beepers.
823
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,010
Thank you, I've heard it, but the alarm industry
824
00:57:11,140 --> 00:57:12,980
is gonna use it to portray us as extremists
825
00:57:13,100 --> 00:57:15,100
out of touch with the general public.
We can't just...
826
00:57:15,230 --> 00:57:18,150
Why do you cave in to those people?
What, are you a pussy? Come on.
827
00:57:18,270 --> 00:57:19,690
Put in backup beepers.
828
00:57:19,820 --> 00:57:22,900
David, do you want to win on alarms
829
00:57:23,030 --> 00:57:26,150
or do you want to lose on alarms and backup beepers?
830
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,030
'Cause if you want to lose,
do it by yourself.
831
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,790
I'm only here to win.
832
00:57:32,370 --> 00:57:35,540
- Put in the backup beepers.
- That's not funny.
833
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,170
Hi, I'm collecting signatures.
834
00:57:38,290 --> 00:57:40,090
Signatures for the ballot.
835
00:57:40,210 --> 00:57:42,420
Excuse me, we're trying to get...
836
00:57:42,550 --> 00:57:45,300
- No, I'm sorry.
- No, no, no.
837
00:57:45,420 --> 00:57:46,970
Would you be willing to sign?
We're trying to get...
838
00:57:47,090 --> 00:57:48,760
Sure, I'll sign.
839
00:57:48,890 --> 00:57:50,550
- I got one.
- You got one?
840
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,600
- Yeah, I got one.
- I've got nothing.
841
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,470
Excuse me...
842
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,520
We need help.
We can't do this alone.
843
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:57,600
No, I'm in a rush, man.
844
00:57:57,730 --> 00:57:59,860
It's a petition to ban car alarms.
845
00:57:59,980 --> 00:58:01,820
Who's the girl with the dark hair?
846
00:58:01,940 --> 00:58:03,610
Her name is Gruska.
847
00:58:03,730 --> 00:58:06,650
She's good.
She's getting lots of signatures.
848
00:58:08,450 --> 00:58:10,740
- Would you sign it?
- Ban car alarms.
849
00:58:10,870 --> 00:58:12,740
- Yes.
- Thank you.
850
00:58:12,870 --> 00:58:15,330
- Please, where do I sign?
- Of course I will.
851
00:58:15,450 --> 00:58:17,620
We're collecting signatures to ban car alarms.
852
00:58:17,750 --> 00:58:20,420
Ban car alarms.
853
00:58:32,100 --> 00:58:34,390
Finally, the big night arrives, opening night, right?
854
00:58:34,510 --> 00:58:36,890
He's waiting in the wings.
He keeps saying the line over and over.
855
00:58:37,020 --> 00:58:39,310
"Is that a cannon I hear?
Is that a cannon I hear?"
856
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,650
He's got it.
He knows it cold.
857
00:58:41,770 --> 00:58:43,190
He's gonna fuck it up.
858
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,400
Well, he gets his cue.
He comes through the curtain.
859
00:58:46,530 --> 00:58:48,610
He crosses the stage.
He gets hit with a spotlight.
860
00:58:48,740 --> 00:58:50,740
And right as he's about to deliver his big line...
861
00:58:50,860 --> 00:58:53,160
kaboom!
There's this huge explosion.
862
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,040
He hits the deck. The crowd is stunned.
And what does he say?
863
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:00,460
"Jesus Christ,
what the fuck was that?"
864
00:59:03,710 --> 00:59:06,380
Not bad, right?
Pretty good?
865
00:59:06,510 --> 00:59:09,420
That's a good joke.
That's funny.
866
00:59:09,550 --> 00:59:12,720
I can tell that to the Japanese guys.
Think they'd even get it?
867
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,260
Are you kidding me? They would love it.
It would work like a charm.
868
00:59:15,390 --> 00:59:17,270
Good.
869
00:59:17,390 --> 00:59:20,060
Did you see this yet?
870
00:59:20,770 --> 00:59:23,190
They're getting a lot of signatures on that.
871
00:59:23,310 --> 00:59:26,570
Jackie says they're gonna get that initiative on the ballot.
872
00:59:28,900 --> 00:59:31,860
Son of a b...
873
00:59:32,860 --> 00:59:37,620
I want to talk to this EK Filippnova prick.
874
00:59:37,740 --> 00:59:39,370
"Filippovna."
875
00:59:39,500 --> 00:59:41,330
By the way, he's a she.
876
00:59:41,460 --> 00:59:44,080
Pretty cute too.
877
00:59:46,210 --> 00:59:47,500
You look great.
878
00:59:47,630 --> 00:59:49,210
Bitch then.
879
00:59:49,340 --> 00:59:53,340
I want to talk to this EK Filippovna...
880
00:59:53,470 --> 00:59:56,140
bitch.
881
00:59:56,810 --> 00:59:59,810
Your initiative won't make it.
I can tell you that right now.
882
00:59:59,930 --> 01:00:01,810
If you supported it, it would.
883
01:00:01,940 --> 01:00:04,270
You could take the credit.
884
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,360
People would love you.
885
01:00:09,780 --> 01:00:12,490
The Rectifier is behind this, right?
886
01:00:12,610 --> 01:00:14,450
No comment.
887
01:00:14,570 --> 01:00:17,950
I could call a grand jury.
I could ask you that question in front of them.
888
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,330
If you didn't answer I could find you in contempt
889
01:00:20,450 --> 01:00:23,080
and send you to jail.
890
01:00:23,210 --> 01:00:25,920
Go ahead.
891
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,550
You're fucking him, aren't you?
892
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,340
What do you like about him?
893
01:00:35,470 --> 01:00:37,510
I never met the guy,
894
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,680
but if I did, what I would like is that he was alone,
895
01:00:40,810 --> 01:00:43,890
everyone against him, and he fought anyway.
896
01:00:44,020 --> 01:00:46,940
I'm alone.
Everyone's against me.
897
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,400
Oh, you think just because I got elected, millions of votes,
898
01:00:50,530 --> 01:00:54,200
that the people are with me?
899
01:00:55,410 --> 01:00:57,320
They hate me.
900
01:00:57,450 --> 01:00:59,370
You know why?
901
01:00:59,490 --> 01:01:01,370
Because when you're strong
902
01:01:01,500 --> 01:01:04,460
you don't cave in.
903
01:01:05,330 --> 01:01:08,000
When you're not a weakling like they are,
904
01:01:08,130 --> 01:01:11,130
they hate you for it.
905
01:01:13,010 --> 01:01:15,010
You want to run things...
you got to be a monster.
906
01:01:15,130 --> 01:01:17,050
You got to be willing to kill people.
907
01:01:17,180 --> 01:01:19,850
Who'd you kill?
908
01:01:20,350 --> 01:01:22,270
No comment.
909
01:01:22,390 --> 01:01:24,560
Nice people can't do it.
910
01:01:24,690 --> 01:01:29,020
They get chewed up, spit out, nothing left but a fart.
911
01:01:29,650 --> 01:01:31,900
You know what I used to tell my kids when they were little,
912
01:01:32,030 --> 01:01:33,900
when they still spoke to me?
913
01:01:34,030 --> 01:01:38,700
Something would happen they didn't like
914
01:01:38,820 --> 01:01:42,240
and they would say,
"Oh, that's unfair."
915
01:01:42,370 --> 01:01:45,580
And I would say,
"No, don't say that's unfair.
916
01:01:45,710 --> 01:01:50,750
Say that's not beautiful."
917
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,510
People like your boyfriend, the Recti-fairy,
918
01:01:54,630 --> 01:01:56,550
need everything beautiful.
919
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,680
That's why they're so helpless.
920
01:02:01,260 --> 01:02:04,180
But you're not like that.
921
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,940
So drop that putz.
Come work with me.
922
01:02:08,060 --> 01:02:11,060
I'll show you how to run the world.
923
01:02:16,610 --> 01:02:18,530
What would I do?
924
01:02:18,660 --> 01:02:22,950
I don't know.
Personal advisor...
925
01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:27,250
parks commissioner.
926
01:02:27,370 --> 01:02:29,920
What about economic development?
927
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:31,540
What is that?
928
01:02:31,670 --> 01:02:34,000
Bringing business here.
929
01:02:34,130 --> 01:02:37,010
I got a Japanese contingent coming.
930
01:02:37,130 --> 01:02:39,890
They would love you.
931
01:02:43,100 --> 01:02:44,970
Okay.
932
01:02:46,100 --> 01:02:49,230
Only if you support the initiative.
933
01:02:49,350 --> 01:02:52,360
Don't waste your time on that.
934
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,070
That's too tiny.
935
01:02:55,190 --> 01:02:57,740
Then promise you won't oppose us.
936
01:02:59,660 --> 01:03:02,820
No.
937
01:03:07,750 --> 01:03:10,420
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to England
938
01:03:10,540 --> 01:03:13,170
to study philosophy.
939
01:03:14,420 --> 01:03:17,050
So fuck you.
940
01:03:39,950 --> 01:03:43,950
I wanted to thank you all for helping out today.
941
01:03:44,070 --> 01:03:47,160
We have unofficially collected
942
01:03:47,290 --> 01:03:50,370
over 40,000 signatures.
943
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,960
That's more than 10,000 above the minimum.
944
01:03:55,090 --> 01:03:57,710
But remember, at least half will be disqualified,
945
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,720
so we need to get at least 20,000 more.
946
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,840
- Can we do it?
- Yes, we can do it.
947
01:04:03,970 --> 01:04:07,850
Shut up. Stop it. Stop it.
948
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:14,230
Come on, stop it.
949
01:04:31,710 --> 01:04:35,080
You and Gruska seem to be getting along.
950
01:04:36,210 --> 01:04:39,420
- Do you like her?
- She's nice.
951
01:04:39,550 --> 01:04:41,630
What about you?
952
01:04:43,130 --> 01:04:44,550
What about me what?
953
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,300
Are you attracted to her?
954
01:04:47,430 --> 01:04:50,970
She's attracted to you.
955
01:04:51,730 --> 01:04:54,390
Did you talk or are you making trouble?
956
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:58,150
We talked.
957
01:04:58,770 --> 01:05:01,650
What did you talk about?
958
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,320
She wants to come home with us.
959
01:05:04,450 --> 01:05:07,990
Is she weird or homeless?
960
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,200
She's sexy.
961
01:05:14,370 --> 01:05:15,670
What did you say?
962
01:05:15,790 --> 01:05:17,750
Dad,
963
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,300
mom's here.
964
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,180
- Put your seat belts on.
- Okay.
965
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:28,220
Take mommy's bag.
966
01:05:30,430 --> 01:05:32,770
Your girlfriend's very pretty.
967
01:05:32,890 --> 01:05:37,150
She's not my girlfriend.
968
01:05:38,730 --> 01:05:41,360
Anyway, you've got no complaints, right?
969
01:05:49,490 --> 01:05:53,120
Bye.
970
01:05:53,250 --> 01:05:57,210
Hi. Yeah.
We'll be there in 20 minutes.
971
01:06:03,130 --> 01:06:07,010
Hey, we should celebrate.
972
01:06:25,900 --> 01:06:28,240
Come here, David.
973
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:29,530
Yeah.
974
01:06:29,660 --> 01:06:31,910
We're looking at my pussy.
975
01:06:32,030 --> 01:06:34,240
Oh, good.
976
01:06:34,370 --> 01:06:37,710
Hold still, please.
977
01:06:39,170 --> 01:06:41,880
See? I knew it.
978
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,550
You have a beautiful pussy.
979
01:06:44,670 --> 01:06:46,970
You have a nice one too.
980
01:06:47,090 --> 01:06:49,890
No, I don't. It's ugly.
981
01:06:50,010 --> 01:06:53,720
It looks like it threw up on itself or something.
982
01:06:53,850 --> 01:06:55,720
Yeah, look at it.
983
01:06:55,850 --> 01:06:58,520
- What are you talking about?
- It's ugly.
984
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,230
What are you talking about?
Nothing is wrong.
985
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,940
Believe me, plenty is wrong.
986
01:07:04,650 --> 01:07:08,490
Has anyone...
has a man ever said anything about it?
987
01:07:08,610 --> 01:07:12,120
No. Of course not.
988
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,240
But it's not the point.
989
01:07:15,370 --> 01:07:17,910
You want to be beautiful.
990
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:21,080
But you are beautiful,
991
01:07:21,210 --> 01:07:23,460
incredibly beautiful.
992
01:07:23,590 --> 01:07:26,340
Yes, thank you.
993
01:07:26,460 --> 01:07:28,760
But you want to be completely beautiful
994
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,260
with no flaw.
995
01:07:31,390 --> 01:07:34,510
I'm happy with how I look generally,
996
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,560
but my pussy spoils it.
997
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,940
It drags down the whole thing.
998
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,900
You know anyone that's perfect?
999
01:07:47,030 --> 01:07:48,940
I'm discussing ideals.
1000
01:07:49,070 --> 01:07:53,200
I mean a beauty you cannot separate from outward things.
1001
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,580
I'm talking about
1002
01:07:55,700 --> 01:07:57,620
looking in the mirror and feeling
1003
01:07:57,740 --> 01:08:00,370
you're one of the angels.
1004
01:08:00,500 --> 01:08:03,830
Are you a beast or an angel?
1005
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,300
Can I be a human being?
1006
01:08:07,420 --> 01:08:09,420
No,
1007
01:08:09,550 --> 01:08:11,470
because a human being
1008
01:08:11,590 --> 01:08:13,430
is nothing but a question,
1009
01:08:13,550 --> 01:08:16,560
and the question is beast or angel,
1010
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,520
beast or god?
1011
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,640
You...
1012
01:08:20,770 --> 01:08:24,650
you're obsessing with alarms and everything.
1013
01:08:24,770 --> 01:08:27,690
What do you think you're doing?
1014
01:08:27,820 --> 01:08:30,650
Aren't you trying to lift yourself
1015
01:08:30,780 --> 01:08:33,030
and everyone else
1016
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,370
up from the bestiality of this awful noise
1017
01:08:36,490 --> 01:08:39,490
to the heavenly silence?
1018
01:08:42,410 --> 01:08:45,540
That's beautiful.
1019
01:08:46,130 --> 01:08:50,170
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1020
01:08:50,300 --> 01:08:52,840
So you want to make heaven for the ear.
1021
01:08:52,970 --> 01:08:57,890
And I want to make it for the body.
1022
01:09:27,500 --> 01:09:30,500
Chris says you'll make it on the ballot.
1023
01:09:30,630 --> 01:09:33,840
She's very excited.
1024
01:09:33,970 --> 01:09:36,300
Well, it's an easy sell.
1025
01:09:36,430 --> 01:09:39,350
Everyone hates alarms.
1026
01:09:39,470 --> 01:09:42,980
I guess you're not completely impotent after all.
1027
01:09:47,350 --> 01:09:50,400
Winning make you nervous?
1028
01:09:51,570 --> 01:09:54,240
A little.
1029
01:10:04,870 --> 01:10:07,210
When are you gonna come home?
1030
01:10:07,330 --> 01:10:10,210
When I'm finished with this.
1031
01:10:18,180 --> 01:10:20,550
I have to leave Friday.
1032
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,180
Leave? For where?
1033
01:10:23,310 --> 01:10:25,600
Moscow, see my dad,
1034
01:10:25,730 --> 01:10:28,480
school in London.
You knew that.
1035
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,230
Yeah. I didn't know it was so soon.
1036
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:35,570
We're up to 56,000 signatures, but I want to get at least 70,000.
1037
01:10:35,690 --> 01:10:39,160
Yeah, I know. You told me.
You have to be here for the election.
1038
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,620
The guys you met today are great.
1039
01:10:41,740 --> 01:10:44,540
They'll introduce you to all the right people.
1040
01:10:44,660 --> 01:10:47,710
I'll consult by email.
1041
01:10:48,580 --> 01:10:51,540
You'll do fine.
1042
01:11:02,550 --> 01:11:04,470
I don't want to say goodbye to you.
1043
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:08,640
No, it's perfect.
1044
01:11:09,190 --> 01:11:12,770
Your wife threw you out,
1045
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:15,650
we had our little thing...
1046
01:11:17,990 --> 01:11:19,910
now you get to go home
1047
01:11:20,030 --> 01:11:22,240
a little bittersweet in the heart,
1048
01:11:22,370 --> 01:11:25,990
be a good father,
1049
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,000
a good husband.
1050
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,420
Anyway, you love Chris.
1051
01:11:36,590 --> 01:11:39,630
You love Helen.
1052
01:11:40,550 --> 01:11:43,220
You need love.
1053
01:11:53,150 --> 01:11:56,110
Could you pull over here, please?
1054
01:11:57,070 --> 01:11:59,780
I've got to pick something up.
1055
01:11:59,900 --> 01:12:03,070
- I'll talk to you later.
- Okay.
1056
01:12:06,540 --> 01:12:09,200
Thank you.
1057
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,230
- Hi.
- What's this?
1058
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:39,860
These are petition signatures.
1059
01:12:39,980 --> 01:12:42,240
Petitions for what?
1060
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,910
To get an initiative on the November ballot.
1061
01:12:45,030 --> 01:12:47,870
There's a charter revision on the November ballot.
1062
01:12:47,990 --> 01:12:49,790
A what?
1063
01:12:49,910 --> 01:12:53,000
A proposal to revise the city charter.
1064
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,290
Okay, so?
1065
01:12:55,420 --> 01:12:59,250
You can't have an initiative when
there's a proposed charter revision
1066
01:12:59,380 --> 01:13:01,840
unless the mayor lets them both stand.
1067
01:13:01,970 --> 01:13:03,970
Who proposed the charter revision?
1068
01:13:04,090 --> 01:13:05,760
Mayor Schneer.
1069
01:13:05,890 --> 01:13:09,060
- Why did he do it?
- Well, he didn't tell me,
1070
01:13:09,180 --> 01:13:11,060
but back in '98
1071
01:13:11,180 --> 01:13:14,650
when Giuliani wanted that new stadium on the West Side
1072
01:13:14,770 --> 01:13:18,610
and the people in Chelsea collected all those signatures
1073
01:13:18,730 --> 01:13:22,490
for an initiative against it, Giuliani put up a charter revision
1074
01:13:22,610 --> 01:13:24,780
just to bump their thing off the ballot.
1075
01:13:24,910 --> 01:13:27,030
Maybe Schneer's doing this
1076
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,120
to stop that car alarm initiative.
1077
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,290
We're the car alarm initiative.
1078
01:13:32,410 --> 01:13:34,330
You are?
1079
01:13:34,460 --> 01:13:35,960
Well, there you go.
1080
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,460
We spent months working on this.
What is...
1081
01:13:50,510 --> 01:13:53,640
I hear you, baby, but that ain't gonna help.
1082
01:14:02,440 --> 01:14:05,110
You got a problem?
1083
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,370
This thing for sale?
1084
01:14:11,910 --> 01:14:13,830
How much?
1085
01:14:13,950 --> 01:14:16,580
$1500.
1086
01:14:18,170 --> 01:14:21,170
You got an alarm in here?
1087
01:14:21,630 --> 01:14:22,670
Yeah.
1088
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,760
Could you please move the fucking truck?
1089
01:14:30,850 --> 01:14:34,060
So how is it? Is it decent?
1090
01:14:34,180 --> 01:14:36,100
Decent? It's a piece of shit.
1091
01:14:36,230 --> 01:14:38,150
Perfect.
1092
01:14:38,270 --> 01:14:40,190
I want to put an alarm in it.
1093
01:14:40,310 --> 01:14:42,940
- It's already got one.
- I know. I want more.
1094
01:14:43,070 --> 01:14:45,190
More? How many more?
1095
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,400
How many can it hold?
1096
01:14:47,530 --> 01:14:49,280
Shit, as many as will fit,
1097
01:14:49,410 --> 01:14:51,580
so long as the battery has the juice to run them.
1098
01:14:51,700 --> 01:14:53,370
Can you customize them?
1099
01:14:53,490 --> 01:14:56,290
Customize them how?
1100
01:14:56,410 --> 01:14:59,370
I want them to go off when I want,
1101
01:14:59,500 --> 01:15:02,290
and I want them extra loud.
1102
01:15:08,260 --> 01:15:12,220
So this actor...
1103
01:15:12,350 --> 01:15:14,220
something happens
1104
01:15:14,350 --> 01:15:18,730
to his, like, memory, you know, or he's nervous,
1105
01:15:18,850 --> 01:15:22,440
but he keeps flubbing his lines.
1106
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,020
After a while
1107
01:15:25,150 --> 01:15:27,820
he can't get a job.
1108
01:15:27,950 --> 01:15:31,780
Finally,
1109
01:15:31,910 --> 01:15:35,200
his agent... you know, agent...
1110
01:15:35,330 --> 01:15:40,000
lands him a small part in a play.
1111
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,920
It's one line...
1112
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:47,670
"Hark, is that a cannon I hear?"
1113
01:15:53,180 --> 01:15:55,100
So every day
1114
01:15:55,220 --> 01:15:57,470
he's... he's practicing this line...
1115
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,440
"Hark, is that a cannon I hear?
Hark, is that a cannon I hear?"
1116
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,020
The play takes place in...
1117
01:16:03,150 --> 01:16:05,480
- Chicago.
- Chicago.
1118
01:16:16,330 --> 01:16:20,040
He goes to the theater.
He's putting on his costume... "Hark..."
1119
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,960
He gets into the wings.
He's listening for his cue...
1120
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,050
"Hark, is that a cannon I hear?"
1121
01:16:27,170 --> 01:16:30,920
"Hark, is that a cannon I hear?
Hark, Hark..."
1122
01:16:34,220 --> 01:16:36,140
He walks out onto the stage.
1123
01:16:36,260 --> 01:16:39,810
There is this incredible crash.
So he goes...
1124
01:16:39,930 --> 01:16:43,690
Jesus Christ, what the fuck is that?
1125
01:16:44,770 --> 01:16:47,820
What the fuck is that?
1126
01:16:48,980 --> 01:16:51,650
Sounds like a car alarm.
1127
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,990
Turn it off now!
1128
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,080
What are you doing?
1129
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,540
You mind shutting this thing off, please?
1130
01:17:03,670 --> 01:17:06,000
Shut off the alarm.
1131
01:17:06,130 --> 01:17:10,260
- Oh, it'll go off in a minute or two.
- A minute?
1132
01:17:10,380 --> 01:17:12,510
It's three minutes by law, actually.
1133
01:17:12,630 --> 01:17:14,800
It's been going for 30-35 seconds, so...
1134
01:17:14,930 --> 01:17:17,470
- Could you open the hood, sir?
- I'm sorry?
1135
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:19,510
Open the hood, we'll disconnect the cable,
1136
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:21,430
- we'll get on with our lives.
- I can't do that.
1137
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,480
- Why?
- It's private property.
1138
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,270
- It's a public nuisance.
- Exactly.
1139
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,440
Open the hood!
1140
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,950
- It'll go off in about a minute or so.
- A minute?
1141
01:17:34,070 --> 01:17:37,120
A minute, if the cutoff works.
1142
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,290
In another minute that thing is gonna fucking kill...
1143
01:17:43,410 --> 01:17:44,870
Tow this fucking guy.
1144
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,540
Call the precinct.
Call towing.
1145
01:17:47,670 --> 01:17:49,840
Okay, let's move this thing.
1146
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,890
Open the hood!
1147
01:18:00,010 --> 01:18:01,100
Let's go.
1148
01:18:01,220 --> 01:18:02,390
I can't hear you.
1149
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:03,930
Open the fucking hood!
1150
01:18:04,060 --> 01:18:06,520
Can't hear you.
1151
01:18:07,350 --> 01:18:10,560
Want to fuck with me?
I'll fix your ass.
1152
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:15,450
Can somebody please shut that thing off?
1153
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,240
The guy is not right.
1154
01:18:19,370 --> 01:18:21,450
I called a tow truck.
They'll be here in a couple of minutes.
1155
01:18:21,580 --> 01:18:24,080
Don't tell me two minutes.
Turn that thing off
1156
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,620
or I'll rip it out and throw it through the fucking windshield myself.
1157
01:18:26,750 --> 01:18:29,250
Is this your car?
Can you turn that thing off?
1158
01:18:29,380 --> 01:18:31,630
It'll go off in a couple of minutes.
1159
01:18:31,750 --> 01:18:33,590
- Can you turn that off?
- No, I can't, sir.
1160
01:18:33,710 --> 01:18:35,420
What about that controller, beeper?
1161
01:18:35,550 --> 01:18:37,430
I can't get it to work.
1162
01:18:37,550 --> 01:18:39,470
You're crazy.
Open the hood.
1163
01:18:39,590 --> 01:18:42,890
Open the hood.
If you could get the hood open...
1164
01:18:43,020 --> 01:18:45,770
- I'm trying, is locked...
- What are you doing?
1165
01:18:45,890 --> 01:18:47,100
- It's under control.
- Under cont...
1166
01:18:47,230 --> 01:18:50,150
You call this under control?
Why don't you shut off the fucking alarm?
1167
01:18:50,270 --> 01:18:51,810
You watch your language!
1168
01:18:51,940 --> 01:18:54,940
- It is private property.
- My ears are private property!
1169
01:18:55,070 --> 01:18:56,990
And my hearing.
My wellbeing...
1170
01:18:57,110 --> 01:18:58,240
is being brutalised by...
1171
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:02,580
Sir, you are disturbing, in fact,
assaulting everybody in this neighbourhood.
1172
01:19:02,700 --> 01:19:03,830
Yes!
1173
01:19:03,950 --> 01:19:06,460
You should be arrested and charged with that! - Yes!
1174
01:19:06,580 --> 01:19:09,420
The alarm will go off in a couple of minutes.
1175
01:19:09,540 --> 01:19:11,380
A couple...
1176
01:19:15,510 --> 01:19:17,840
- Okay.
- Alright, come on.
1177
01:19:17,970 --> 01:19:20,640
Jesus, I can't hear.
1178
01:19:22,300 --> 01:19:24,770
Hello? Hello?
1179
01:19:29,810 --> 01:19:31,650
Sorry.
1180
01:20:13,770 --> 01:20:15,520
Take him! Take him away!
1181
01:20:16,940 --> 01:20:20,780
Him...
That's the Rectifier!
1182
01:20:20,900 --> 01:20:23,370
It is Raymond T. Gilson, a federal judge.
1183
01:20:23,490 --> 01:20:27,540
Judge? Bullshit!
That's the Rectifier! Get him!
1184
01:20:27,660 --> 01:20:29,040
Get him!
1185
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,750
Come on.
1186
01:20:34,710 --> 01:20:36,710
Hold him!
1187
01:20:37,300 --> 01:20:40,510
16 counts, 78 years!
1188
01:20:40,630 --> 01:20:45,640
Got you, got you!
1189
01:20:47,100 --> 01:20:49,020
Next on the docket Raymond T. Gilson, plaintiff,
1190
01:20:49,140 --> 01:20:52,520
seeking damages from David Owen, defendant.
1191
01:20:52,940 --> 01:20:54,520
The mayor was very upset.
1192
01:20:54,650 --> 01:20:57,360
In fact, he failed to close the deal
he was negotiating with the Japanese.
1193
01:20:57,480 --> 01:21:01,360
So, I guess, you could say Mr. Owen cost the city 4,500 jobs.
1194
01:21:01,490 --> 01:21:05,030
Can you estimate the effect of that on the tax base?
1195
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:08,200
They were high-tech, high-paying so, I would imagine
1196
01:21:08,330 --> 01:21:11,330
the loss would be in the tens of millions.
1197
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,630
My wife get terrible migranes.
1198
01:21:18,750 --> 01:21:22,010
This man's alarm brought on an attack that lasted three days.
1199
01:21:22,130 --> 01:21:26,050
I thought he was a judge.
What's he doing in the witness' stand?
1200
01:21:26,180 --> 01:21:30,680
He is a judge.
He's a plaintiff in this trial.
1201
01:21:31,060 --> 01:21:32,810
Two judges?
1202
01:21:32,930 --> 01:21:34,690
Well, they shouldn't do that way, it is too confusing.
1203
01:21:34,810 --> 01:21:37,440
There will be no talking from the jury.
- I was just...
1204
01:21:38,150 --> 01:21:40,270
making an observation.
1205
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:41,570
Sorry, Your Honour.
1206
01:21:41,690 --> 01:21:44,280
Does the defense have any questions for this witness?
- Your Honour...
1207
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,370
David, let me handle this...
No, I insist.
1208
01:21:47,490 --> 01:21:49,030
Judge Gilson,
1209
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:53,460
going back to the afternoon of May 19,
when the incident in question occured...
1210
01:21:53,580 --> 01:21:56,080
- Don't tell me that one is a judge too!
- No, he's an idiot.
1211
01:21:56,210 --> 01:21:58,630
- At that time...
- They are all idiots.
1212
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:00,380
Don't shush me!
1213
01:22:00,500 --> 01:22:02,840
I believe your have said, and I quote:
1214
01:22:02,970 --> 01:22:08,430
That noise is disturbing, actually,
assaulting everybody in the neighbourhood.
1215
01:22:08,550 --> 01:22:12,470
I am not claiming here that you assaulted anyone.
1216
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,020
But you are a judge, you understand the law.
1217
01:22:15,140 --> 01:22:19,900
Assault does not require an actual physical blow, does it?
1218
01:22:20,730 --> 01:22:22,440
It's true.
1219
01:22:22,570 --> 01:22:27,360
If went up to someone, raised your arm suddenly
as though you were going to strike them,
1220
01:22:27,490 --> 01:22:30,370
freightened them, it feels like an attack.
That's assault...
1221
01:22:30,490 --> 01:22:32,540
So, legally speaking
1222
01:22:32,660 --> 01:22:36,080
the alarms that went off on 5th Avenue that afternoon...
1223
01:22:36,210 --> 01:22:38,710
were, in fact...
1224
01:22:39,580 --> 01:22:41,500
an assault.
1225
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,010
That's true.
1226
01:22:44,130 --> 01:22:46,430
Mr. Owen, you realise that the evidence you are presenting
1227
01:22:46,550 --> 01:22:48,930
tends to support the plaintiff's case, not your own?
1228
01:22:49,050 --> 01:22:52,560
Your Honour, if may I continue,
I think you will understand where I'm going.
1229
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:56,890
Judge Gilson, would you agree that your experience that afternoon
1230
01:22:57,020 --> 01:23:02,190
was a bit like being hit?
Being struck?
1231
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,480
Yes, unquestionably.
1232
01:23:04,610 --> 01:23:07,320
So, it wasn't just assault.
1233
01:23:07,450 --> 01:23:09,870
It was battery as well.
1234
01:23:11,450 --> 01:23:12,370
Yes.
1235
01:23:12,490 --> 01:23:15,660
What about the grinding of garbage trucks?
1236
01:23:18,670 --> 01:23:22,210
What about when when a motorcycle owner removes the baffles...
1237
01:23:22,340 --> 01:23:27,090
and the sound is as loud as a jet engine coming down your street?
1238
01:23:27,300 --> 01:23:31,890
- Where is he going with this?
- Some day, some day...
1239
01:23:32,350 --> 01:23:36,560
when we finally spend the money on quieter garbage trucks...
1240
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,190
which they already have in many European countries
1241
01:23:39,310 --> 01:23:41,980
when we have banned the utterly useless car alarms
1242
01:23:42,100 --> 01:23:44,730
and the constant assault
1243
01:23:44,860 --> 01:23:48,320
people will look back on the way we live today
1244
01:23:48,450 --> 01:23:51,950
and they will not understand
1245
01:23:52,740 --> 01:23:56,540
how on Earth we we put up with this.
1246
01:23:56,660 --> 01:23:59,540
Yes, and what about these loud car stereos?
1247
01:23:59,670 --> 01:24:02,420
- Excuse me, what did you just say?
- Is he talking to me?
1248
01:24:02,540 --> 01:24:04,710
Yes, I think it is.
- Mr. Owen, we are going to have a mistrial here.
1249
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:06,960
Please proceed with your examination, Mr Owen.
1250
01:24:07,090 --> 01:24:09,800
- I am saying what about these car stereos...
- Boomboxes!
1251
01:24:09,930 --> 01:24:11,970
You can't hear yourself think!
1252
01:24:12,090 --> 01:24:13,680
- They should not be allowed.
- Order, please!
1253
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,180
What about these trucks idling in front of your window?
1254
01:24:16,310 --> 01:24:19,690
- The noise drives me crazy!
- Order!
1255
01:24:19,810 --> 01:24:22,600
Order!
- ...neighbour's dryer that shakes the whole apartment building.
1256
01:24:22,730 --> 01:24:25,110
- Silence in the room!
- What about the Mister Softee trucks?
1257
01:24:25,230 --> 01:24:27,780
They play the same song over and over again!
1258
01:24:27,900 --> 01:24:30,200
- What about these manhole cover?
- ...taxi driver with their...
1259
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:33,320
...neighbour learning to play the drums?
1260
01:24:33,450 --> 01:24:36,950
What about the doorman with the taxi call whistles?
1261
01:24:42,790 --> 01:24:46,500
What about the world?
What about the whole fucking world?
1262
01:24:46,710 --> 01:24:50,220
Silence!
1263
01:24:52,550 --> 01:24:54,680
Mr. Owen, please proceed.
1264
01:24:57,220 --> 01:25:00,930
That's all I have to say, Your Honour.
1265
01:25:01,230 --> 01:25:03,520
Thank you for your patience.
1266
01:25:06,940 --> 01:25:08,230
We find for the for the plaintiff
1267
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:13,160
and order Mr. Owen to pay Judge Gilson
one hundred thousand dollars.
1268
01:25:16,870 --> 01:25:18,490
Your Honour, if it pleases the court...
1269
01:25:18,620 --> 01:25:22,080
I am sure Mr Owen and I can come to a satisfactory arragement.
1270
01:25:22,210 --> 01:25:25,960
Please file a stipulation of settlement within the next 10 days.
Court is adjourned.
1271
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:27,750
Congratulations, you've lost.
1272
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,880
You lost but you won.
Now we have a precedent.
1273
01:25:31,010 --> 01:25:33,180
The noise can be assault and battery.
1274
01:25:33,300 --> 01:25:35,140
Thank you.
1275
01:25:35,430 --> 01:25:38,560
- I should forget about my bill, right?
- Probably.
1276
01:25:39,970 --> 01:25:41,680
Excuse me!
1277
01:25:42,850 --> 01:25:44,100
Congratulations!
1278
01:25:44,230 --> 01:25:47,020
- You are an example to us all.
- Thanks.
1279
01:25:47,730 --> 01:25:50,150
You are a hero, daddy!
1280
01:25:50,860 --> 01:25:54,360
You know that freeway sign on 131 Street?
1281
01:25:54,780 --> 01:25:56,870
I don't drive.
1282
01:25:56,990 --> 01:25:58,950
Neither do I!
1283
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:03,620
It caused, like, five or six accidents, distracting the motorists.
1284
01:26:03,750 --> 01:26:06,000
I'm gonna get a cab.
1285
01:26:06,630 --> 01:26:10,090
Plus you have that strange sign for bananas shove in your face.
1286
01:26:10,210 --> 01:26:13,090
- Don't you hate that shit?
- I thought they took that down.
1287
01:26:13,220 --> 01:26:16,260
There is another one, it's even worse.
1288
01:26:16,390 --> 01:26:19,600
We used to be able to see all these
beautiful beaux arts buildings up on riverside...
1289
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,770
and now they are blocked with these giant TV screens.
1290
01:26:26,060 --> 01:26:28,060
Do you know what I'm going to do?
1291
01:26:28,190 --> 01:26:30,610
I am going to blow the fucking thing up.
1292
01:26:31,860 --> 01:26:33,860
You want in?
1293
01:26:38,950 --> 01:26:40,700
Let's go!
1294
01:26:46,250 --> 01:26:48,250
You want in?
1295
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:55,760
No, thanks.
1296
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:57,260
Oh, I get it.
1297
01:26:57,380 --> 01:27:01,720
So, suddenly you are this big shot, the rest of us don't matter.
1298
01:27:01,850 --> 01:27:06,640
You just go home, cultivate your fucking garden, right?
1299
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:09,270
Exactly.
1300
01:27:13,820 --> 01:27:15,650
Good luck.
1301
01:27:16,490 --> 01:27:18,780
She was right about the sign, of course.
1302
01:27:18,910 --> 01:27:21,450
But I didn't want to think about that.
1303
01:27:21,580 --> 01:27:23,950
Still, she reminded me of something
1304
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:26,870
that happened the first time I was arrested
1305
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,000
back in the 24th precinct.
1306
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:29,960
What'd he do?
1307
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:32,590
Busted into a car whose alarm was going off.
1308
01:27:32,710 --> 01:27:35,050
Who's gonna take him down to Central Booking?
1309
01:27:35,170 --> 01:27:37,720
Broke into a car because the alarm was going off?
1310
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,890
Jesus Christ!
What if everybody did that?
1311
01:27:41,010 --> 01:27:45,970
If everybody did that,
people would turn off their damn alarms now, wouldn't they?
