live long enough...

to spend that money,

you f***ing hump?

If any of you...

are tired of

getting ripped off...

by guys like that...

You come with me.

I'm at the Plaza Hotel.

You're welcome.

You're all welcome!

To join!

Man or ghost,

I'll kill you again.

Ed.

Aiesha, how you doing?

I'm very upset about

what happened today.

I told you, Frank,

I did the best I could...

and you know that.

Edward.

I told you I tried

to make it work, Frank.

Hello, counselor.

How are you?

Alisha, how are you?

Aiesha.

The city councilman

was just explaining to me...

why that hospital

in the South Bronx...

didn't survive

the fiscal cut this afternoon.

I'm telling him

about how disappointed I am.

I was explaining to Frank...

that there simply wasn't

money in the budget...

to fund that facility.

In a city

of twelve million people...

I find that hard to believe.

I hoped we could do better.

I hoped so, too, Frank...

but there simply was

no money in the budget.

If you think it's so easy...

why don't you try

funding it yourself?

Maybe I will.

How about sixteen million

by the end of the quarter?

Tell your friends

they'll have the money.

Counselor, you're

this man's legal advisor.

Why don't you explain to him

the hard financial facts...

of running a municipality.

I know what this city needs...

and privileged districts...

shouldn't be the only ones

with hospitals.

Forget it, Frank.

I want that place kept open.

Forget it.

The city can't afford it

and neither can you.

The city doesn't know

where to look for the money.

Let me give you some

very expensive advice...

go someplace where

you can stay out of trouble.

I thought

that's what I pay you for.

Hello, Frank.

I want to talk to you.

I don't think so.

Come on. O'Neill can wait

for two old friends, can't he?

I'm not your friend.

Come on, Frank. We missed you

while you were away.

Thought about you, too.

I heard a rumor about you.

What's that?

I heard you got AIDS...

getting dicked

up your ass in prison.

That's what I heard.

I thought about you every time

I jerked off, d*ckhead.

Why don't we

just take this outside.

Next time, wear a tie.

Get Abe.

Here we go.

Excuse us, folks.

Excuse us. Easy, easy.

What the hell is this?

We're taking him in

for questioning.

On what grounds?

This is harassment, Bishop.

You're welcome to come along.

Even your client's

got a right to counsel.

Come on. Get out!

Look inside.

Let's go.

What's that?

You tell me.

I don't know.

This is the only chance

you get, White.

What's it gonna be?

Are you arresting me?

Oh, f***. Here we go.

If so, do it.

If not, I got people

waiting for me.

Shut the f*** up, motherf***er!
