:40:02
Good, Phil, just in time.
:40:05
A little coffee? Some cake?
:40:07
Better skip it, Jessie. We're short on time.
:40:10
We know what's goin' on underground.
:40:12
The issue is whether or not
we pay the ransom.

:40:15
Phil? Whaddaya think?
:40:17
Well, we're fully mobilised. There's
enough firepower to wipe out an army.

:40:22
But... I can't guarantee
the safety of the hostages.

:40:25
In other words, you're for
payin' the ransom.

:40:29
Well, we don't want
another Attica, do we?

:40:31
- So your vote is?
- I abstain.

:40:33
Shit! Barney?
:40:36
The safety of the passengers is
the only concern of the Transit Authority.

:40:40
- Your vote?
- Pay the two dollars.

:40:43
If it was two dollars,
I'd pay the two dollars, Barney!

:40:46
It's a million! A one with six zeros!
Is it comin' outta your pocket?

:40:50
Come on, will ya save the poor mouth
for later? How do you vote?

:40:53
- I'm not through discussin' it yet.
- Yes, you are. Now vote.

:40:57
My concern is with the taxpayers.
:41:00
I always say millions for defence
but not one cent for tribute.

:41:03
- Isn't that what I always say?
- Uh-huh. So that's a "no".

:41:07
All right, Al. You've heard from
the Three Wise Men.

:41:12
- Now what do you say?
- What are they goin' to say, Warren?

:41:16
- Who?
- Everybody!

:41:19
- The press! The man on the street!
- He means the voters.

:41:23
The Times will support you,
the News will knock you.

:41:26
The Post will take both sides. The rich'll
support you. Likewise the blacks.

:41:30
The Puerto Ricans won't give a shit.
So quit stallin'.

:41:34
Stop bullyin' everybody, Warren!
This is supposed to be a democracy!

:41:39
Wise up, for Christ sake! We're tryin' to
run a city, not a goddamn democracy!

:41:44
Al, quit fartin' around! We've gotta pay!
:41:47
Jessie?
:41:49
Jessie, what do you say?
:41:51
A million dollars sounds like
a lot of money.

:41:54
But just think what
you're gonna get in return.

:41:57
- What?
- 18 sure votes.
