:26:00
Oatmeal with skim milk,
bananas, brown sugar.
:26:03
So what's new?
:26:04
I'll give you the headlines.
:26:06
S & P's
lowering the city's credit rating.
:26:09
We're gonna close two firehouses.
:26:11
Result: 150 demonstrators
at City Hall.
:26:13
The park commissioner
has quit...
:26:15
...to run the San Francisco Ballet.
:26:17
The stock exchange insists
on leaving town.
:26:19
Plus a zillion other
little rancid goodies.
:26:21
Plus a kid got shot.
:26:23
- And a drug dealer.
- And a cop.
:26:25
No wonder the deputy mayor's
here in Brooklyn.
:26:27
Well, but...
:26:28
...he's very welcome.
:26:30
Where is the stock exchange
moving to, my boy?
:26:33
White Plains, they mutter.
:26:35
They've been muttering that
for years.
:26:36
One day they'll stop muttering
and go.
:26:39
That's why we need city land
for Bank Exchange.
:26:41
- No argument, Lenny.
- And a subway stop.
:26:43
And an off-ramp from the expressway.
:26:45
The city's $25 billion in debt.
:26:47
We're in no position
to build off-ramps.
:26:49
3000 workers, you don't want
to build a subway stop?
:26:52
What's your interest in this?
:26:54
Did you buy a few options
around the city property?
:26:56
Of course he did.
:26:58
So did every other
developer in town.
:27:00
Notwithstanding that,
Mr. Deputy Mayor...
:27:02
...if you don't transport
their employees...
:27:04
...Bank Exchange will
dump this deal...
:27:06
...and forget about New York...
:27:08
...and put up their 60-story building
in New Jersey instead.
:27:11
So be it.
:27:13
The mayor loves Bank Exchange
but can't afford infrastructure.
:27:15
You're flying
in the face of real politics.
:27:19
Subways get people to jobs.
:27:22
Jobs mean votes.
:27:24
I thought John Pappas liked votes.
:27:26
He loves votes, Frank.
:27:30
But no infrastructure.
:27:32
Much as the city approves of
a subway station and off-ramp...
:27:35
...it can't pay for them.
:27:38
- Where are you going?
- I have an appointment in Manhattan.
:27:45
This meeting's over?
:27:48
I heard you say no.
:27:51
Can I offer you a ride?
:27:53
No, thanks.
:27:55
I make it quicker on the train.
:27:59
Here he comes. Judge Stern!
