Where The Truth Lies Page #3

...if you please.

Step this way.

I'll have a word with him...

...about the way

he spoke to your wife.

Completely unnecessary.

Just this way.

You call any Jew on this planet

anything you like.

But nobody calls my partner a kike.

Do you understand?

Boffing ladies and

bashing gentlemen.

I tell you, there was

nothing under the sun...

... Vince and I wouldn't do

for each other.

Are you finished?

Thank you, Mamie.

I'm sorry about that, Miss O'Connor.

We just needed to be sure

you didn't take any notes.

Lanny gave me very specific

instructions on that point.

I don't understand why

he'd want me to read this.

Why would he ever want

anyone to see this side of him?

When you contacted us about

meeting Lanny for your book...

...it wasn't simply about letting you

know he didn't want to speak with you.

I believe my client wanted you

to understand that he, in fact...

...was completing a book

of his own which would serve...

...not only as his autobiography...

...but also as the definitive account of

the joint careers of Morris and Collins.

You've had, at first hand,

a sample of Lanny's writing voice.

Yes, I have.

Such a book, Miss O'Connor...

...this raw, this honest...

...would make your own efforts look...

There's been some very nice...

...translations of the Bible

over the centuries...

...but they would run

a very poor second in popularity...

...to the discovery

of the actual Ten Commandments.

Single best part about teaching

grade two is the difference...

...between the bright ones and

the dumb ones isn't so obvious.

- What's so great about that?

- The results of my work...

...as a teacher

aren't so depressing.

Also, there's no homework

to correct in the evenings and...

...well, none of the kids

know how to use drugs.

Bonnie had come from New York

to visit me that summer.

We'd been best friends

since kindergarten.

At school we started the

Lanny and Vince Fan Club...

... raising almost $200

for that year's telethon.

All of you send in

a bit of your allowance.

Just a little bit.

A dime, a nickel, a penny.

Every bit helps.

The goal of the telethon that year...

... was $3.9 million, which was

a lot of dough at that time.

Thank you, Tom.

You're a prince among men.

Whoa, Lanny. There are

children watching!

Where does he get his energy?

To remind viewers of the goal...

... we agreed the telethon

could run 39 hours nonstop.

The show would begin at 9 p.m. On

Friday and finish at noon on Sunday.

We paced it so that

Vince and I were together...

... for the kickoff,

most of the day Saturday...

... then the big finale

on Sunday with us bleary-eyed...

... and weeping as America
