I want to get
all the borough presidents.
I want them standing up there
with me shoulder-to-shoulder...
and if I can get that prick
with the scarlet cape...
the cardinal, to stand up,
I'm gonna get him up there, too.
And, you, you're going
to be to my right.
Now, what I want to do...
I want it to look like
the city is united...
in bringing Nick Starkey back.
I don't want it
to look like his brother's...
bringing him clean underwear
or something like that.
I'll take care of
all the questions.
I'll be as pious as hell.
And when it's over...
take a break,
let them have a shot at you.
And then give them
some hard talk back...
two or three minutes,
but be conservative.
Very, very conservative.
And if you blow,
blow with dignity.
I'm going to be dog meat
after this.
No, you're not.
If he comes out of this
looking great...
I'm an a**hole for firing him.
If he blows it, I'm a schmuck
for bringing him back.
If he blows it,
we're all unemployed.
And if he gets the guy,
we're all heroes.
That's the news.
It's like
Elizabeth Taylor says...
"There is no deodorant
like success."
What is it?
Captain Alcoa is here.
Sh*t.
He heard.
OK. Send him in.
I won't do it!
Do what?
Hey, don't bullshit me
besides screwing me.
We're all having a bad day,
Alcoa.
Nobody needs your volume.
Nick Starkey is no policeman!
Well, his record
shows otherwise.
He don't belong
in the department.
That's for me to say!
He's like a...
he's a f***ing beatnik!
He's got a beatnik mentality.
Maybe that's what we need,
is a beatnik.
Sure, seems funny
down here and now...
but it don't feel
so f***ing funny...
in the middle
of a murder case...
when you've seen
those girls dead!
Who do you think
you're talking to?
Jesus Christ!
Who the f*** do you think
you're talking to?
You think I'm your wife?
You wanna f*** me?
Don't mess with me.
You mess with me, and you better
have a goddamn sense of humor...
the size of Lake Michigan to
find something to laugh about.
If I send you
a rubber duck to work with...
that is the news!
Can you understand that?
Do you understand?
So then, it's true.
It's true.
- When?
- Tomorrow.
So you get out of here,
and you be a good boy.
And if Nick reports to you,
you treat him like a god.
Do you understand that?
Can you understand that?
And if he wants anything,
you give it to him.
If he wants your wallet,
you give it to him.
And you keep me posted.
No. Never mind
trying to say anything.
Just shut up and get out.
Go on! I'm trying
to have a meeting here!
So...
did Nick agree without a fuss?
No.
Well... what do you have to do?
