The Freshman Page #4

Totally legitimate work

for $1000 a week.

I know you won't disappoint me.

How can I say no?

This is not a yes.

I want to hear a yes.

Yes.

Good.

Good. Now I'm happy. I'm so happy.

I don't know why I'm so happy.

That's good.

Everybody up.

Come to my house in Queens tonight.

He's going to...

You can get the keys.

I'll give you directions.

I have such good feelings about you.

I'm absolutely filled with emotion.

I never had a son.

In 15 years, I never saw him

take to anybody like that.

Never.

Senator.

We're both part of the same hypocrisy.

Never think it applies to my family.

All right. All right.

Some people have to play little games.

You play yours.

Let's just say you'll pay me because

it's in your interest to pay me.

I want your answer and the money

by tomorrow.

And one more thing.

Don't you contact me again, ever.

From now on, you deal with Turnbull.

Senator, you can have my answer now.

My offer is this. Nothing.

Not even the fee for the gaming

license...

... which I would appreciate if you

would put up personally.

"Senator, my offer is this:

Nothing."

In that one moment, Michael Corleone

says that all corruption is equal.

That there is no separation between

politics and gangsterism.

As discussed in the Fleeber treatise,

Guns and Provolone...

...what are the similarities between

Karl Marx's "Das Kapital..."

...lmmanuel Kant's

Critique of Pure Reason...

...and the Lake Tahoe scene from

"Godfather II"?

You haven't read the Fleeber piece?

Well, in an evolving society...

You need help from Mr. Bushak?

He might enjoy helping you write

a five-page answer to my question.

I want it on my desk by noon tomorrow.

In an evolving society...

...violence and narcissism replace...

- Oh, shut up!

I hate this guy.

You're Clark?

Yes, I'm Clark.

I'm Tina, Carmine Sabatini's

only daughter.

- I didn't know he had a daughter, only.

- He does. I'm her.

Come in.

This is quite a house. Very European.

Can I get you a drink?

Beer? Sprite?

No, thanks.

Jesus, look at that.

Wow, what a job they did!

Job?

Copying job.

Down to the cracks and everything.

This isn't a copy. This is it.

Right.

I'm very serious.

This has to be a copy.

Do you remember about 10 years ago

the original toured the country?

It did?

They brought it over from the Louvre.

Who?

I don't know who. They.

It was in the United States.

And...?

And it stayed here.

The one they shipped back to Paris,

the one behind all the glass...

...that the tourists take pictures of

is the copy.

My dad thought it was just awful.

A masterpiece behind such thick glass.

He had such a special feeling for it

his whole life.
