00:00:35,419 --> 00:00:38,319
Live, until they drop dead...

4
00:00:39,588 --> 00:00:41,421
from the beautiful carlou theater

5
00:00:41,423 --> 00:00:43,823
in the heart of sunny Miami beach, Florida,

6
00:00:43,825 --> 00:00:47,126
it's the veterans day polio telethon!

7
00:00:47,128 --> 00:00:49,661
And now, please welcome your hosts,

8
00:00:49,663 --> 00:00:53,164
the beautiful, the talented, Lanny Morris

9
00:00:53,166 --> 00:00:56,267
and Vince Collins!

10
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:17,720
Do you realize, Lanny,
we have to present ourselves

11
00:01:17,722 --> 00:01:19,822
in front of these lovely
people for the next three days?

12
00:01:19,824 --> 00:01:22,758
Hello, lovely people
for the next three days.

13
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,860
- Look at you. You're a disgrace.
- What?

14
00:01:24,862 --> 00:01:27,229
Look, your hair's a mess,
your shoes aren't shined,

15
00:01:27,231 --> 00:01:28,697
your shirt's not pressed.

16
00:01:28,699 --> 00:01:30,498
Look at your tie.
It's not even straight.

17
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:32,766
Look at yours.
It doesn't even clip on.

18
00:01:35,237 --> 00:01:36,603
Now...

19
00:01:36,605 --> 00:01:38,571
I'm upset.

20
00:01:38,573 --> 00:01:40,873
You know what happens when I get upset.

21
00:01:40,875 --> 00:01:42,608
No, no, no.

22
00:01:42,610 --> 00:01:44,309
Please. Please
don't hurt me, Vince.

23
00:01:44,311 --> 00:01:46,277
I've had a terrible day already.

24
00:01:46,279 --> 00:01:48,245
All sorts of bad things have happened.

25
00:01:48,247 --> 00:01:50,480
- I don't wanna be hurt again.
- You've been hurt already?

26
00:01:50,482 --> 00:01:53,316
- Yep, it hurt bad.
- And what happened, pray tell?

27
00:01:53,318 --> 00:01:55,758
- Want me to pray, want me to tell?
- I think you better pray.

28
00:01:58,388 --> 00:02:00,454
I don't know whether
you're singing or speaking.

29
00:02:07,162 --> 00:02:08,594
There's always a woman involved.

30
00:02:15,635 --> 00:02:18,469
That's what you said last time,
Lanny, and the time before that.

31
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:22,205
You have to make sure there's no first time,

32
00:02:22,207 --> 00:02:23,506
then there can't be a next time.

33
00:02:29,346 --> 00:02:31,179
Let's hope so, Lanny.

34
00:02:31,181 --> 00:02:32,880
Lanny Morris, ladies and gentlemen.

35
00:03:40,809 --> 00:03:43,843
My manager sent me over some of your work.

36
00:03:43,845 --> 00:03:47,713
It's funny how you're really in them a lot.

37
00:03:47,715 --> 00:03:50,816
Whenever I read one of these
interviews where the writer says,

38
00:03:50,818 --> 00:03:53,618
"this is how I felt the morning
I woke up to meet the pope,"

39
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:55,453
"this is how I felt when the pope greeted me

40
00:03:55,455 --> 00:03:56,687
"and how the pope reminded me

41
00:03:56,689 --> 00:03:58,388
so much of my very best friend Mike,"

42
00:03:58,390 --> 00:04:00,923
I always think,
"who the fuck is Mike?"

43
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,993
So who are you?

44
00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:07,695
I was a young journalist

45
00:04:07,697 --> 00:04:09,329
with a few awards,

46
00:04:09,331 --> 00:04:12,665
a couple of cover stories

47
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:15,667
and a desperate need to prove myself.

48
00:04:17,671 --> 00:04:19,537
If you look through my work,

49
00:04:19,539 --> 00:04:23,908
you'll see I try to present
a balanced view of my subjects.

50
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:25,976
I leave the conclusions to the reader.

51
00:04:25,978 --> 00:04:27,744
I'm not sure we like balance.

52
00:04:27,746 --> 00:04:29,645
Or leaving the conclusions to the reader.

53
00:04:29,647 --> 00:04:31,747
I'm used to being publicized, not analyzed.

54
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:33,381
It would be your words.

55
00:04:33,383 --> 00:04:35,816
We'd publish it as a transcript.

56
00:04:35,818 --> 00:04:38,985
My questions, your answers.

57
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:43,723
If you say it, I can use it.
If you don't, I can't.

58
00:04:43,725 --> 00:04:46,258
And they're gonna pay me
a million dollars for this?

59
00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:48,727
An excerpt will be published
in a magazine as a way

60
00:04:48,729 --> 00:04:52,797
of amortizing the investment
they'll be making in the book.

61
00:04:52,799 --> 00:04:54,465
They're looking for some...

62
00:04:56,368 --> 00:04:59,335
provocative stories for the first issue.

63
00:04:59,337 --> 00:05:01,970
Any thoughts on what
these "provocative stories"

64
00:05:01,972 --> 00:05:03,638
might be about?

65
00:05:04,707 --> 00:05:05,872
The breakup.

66
00:05:05,874 --> 00:05:08,007
Why Lanny and you split.

67
00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:14,880
And the girl.

68
00:05:14,882 --> 00:05:16,615
Maureen.

69
00:05:18,352 --> 00:05:21,019
What happened to Maureen o'Flaherty.

70
00:05:22,889 --> 00:05:26,490
No one had ever been able
to pin Lanny Morris

71
00:05:26,492 --> 00:05:29,559
or Vince Collins to the girl's death.

72
00:05:29,561 --> 00:05:32,528
All that was clear was that Maureen

73
00:05:32,530 --> 00:05:34,363
was found dead in their hotel suite.

74
00:05:36,433 --> 00:05:39,467
It was unthinkable to me
that Lanny and Vince

75
00:05:39,469 --> 00:05:42,503
could have had anything to do with it.

76
00:05:42,505 --> 00:05:44,571
They were my heroes.

77
00:05:44,573 --> 00:05:48,341
The reason I consider
myself to be a miracle girl

78
00:05:48,343 --> 00:05:49,909
is because I had the good fortune

79
00:05:49,911 --> 00:05:53,579
to meet Lanny and Vince when I was sick.

80
00:05:53,581 --> 00:05:55,914
Their love of life is what gave me hope.

81
00:05:55,916 --> 00:05:59,817
And it's hope
that gives us the power to live.

82
00:05:59,819 --> 00:06:03,520
Thank you, Lanny.

83
00:06:03,522 --> 00:06:04,854
Thank you, Vince.

84
00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:23,103
Come on, let's hear it for her.

85
00:06:23,105 --> 00:06:26,773
Denise handled publicity
for the polio foundation.

86
00:06:26,775 --> 00:06:30,710
And it was her idea to plug the
girl's story on the telethon.

87
00:06:30,712 --> 00:06:33,679
The day before,
it was my idea to plug Denise

88
00:06:33,681 --> 00:06:35,547
at the Miami versailles hotel.

89
00:06:47,494 --> 00:06:50,094
You could tell a lot about
a woman by the way she acts

90
00:06:50,096 --> 00:06:52,930
when you're having sex,
and room service comes in.

91
00:06:52,932 --> 00:06:55,132
See, some girls will sit up
and light a cigarette

92
00:06:55,134 --> 00:06:57,100
like there's nothing funny in the world

93
00:06:57,102 --> 00:06:59,402
about her being naked.

94
00:06:59,404 --> 00:07:01,437
It's obvious we were
in the process of screwing,

95
00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:03,472
so why not let a complete
stranger into the room?

96
00:07:03,474 --> 00:07:05,106
Come on in.

97
00:07:05,108 --> 00:07:07,441
Then there's the kind
that will pull the sheets up

98
00:07:07,443 --> 00:07:09,843
over their head and act like they're asleep.

99
00:07:09,845 --> 00:07:12,011
Where would you like it, sir?

100
00:07:12,013 --> 00:07:13,979
Sweetheart, wherever you'd like it.

101
00:07:13,981 --> 00:07:16,982
And then, of course, there's
the ones who scrunch real flat,

102
00:07:16,984 --> 00:07:19,617
thinking that the bed will look empty.

103
00:07:19,619 --> 00:07:21,151
With Denise...

104
00:07:21,153 --> 00:07:23,720
It was kind of hard
to tell which way she'd go.

105
00:07:31,028 --> 00:07:34,129
Can I have your autograph,
Mr. Morris?

106
00:07:34,131 --> 00:07:36,097
Sure.

107
00:07:36,099 --> 00:07:39,133
Should I make it out to Maureen?

108
00:07:42,571 --> 00:07:44,670
I mean your autograph on the bill.

109
00:07:48,442 --> 00:07:50,442
Okay.

110
00:07:50,444 --> 00:07:52,777
I-I mean, I'd love
to have your autograph.

111
00:07:54,614 --> 00:07:56,680
And maybe a few minutes of your time?

112
00:07:56,682 --> 00:07:58,748
I-I'm a huge fan, and...

113
00:07:59,917 --> 00:08:03,118
well, I was thinking about

114
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,454
writing an article on you
for my campus paper.

115
00:08:06,456 --> 00:08:07,988
I'm the editor.

116
00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:09,522
Any interview requests

117
00:08:09,524 --> 00:08:11,423
go through me, honey.

118
00:08:14,761 --> 00:08:17,595
You know, it's just a college paper.

119
00:08:29,041 --> 00:08:31,074
Thank you.

120
00:08:31,076 --> 00:08:33,943
No, thank you.

121
00:08:33,945 --> 00:08:36,045
Thank you, Maureen.

122
00:08:36,047 --> 00:08:39,014
I said goodbye to Maureen,
knowing I'd see her again,

123
00:08:39,016 --> 00:08:42,751
closed the door and then turned to look
at Denise, thinking, "I know this girl"

124
00:08:42,753 --> 00:08:45,587
from every college town
we have ever played."

125
00:08:45,589 --> 00:08:47,188
They're called "career girls."

126
00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:52,659
The absolute easiest lays
in this great nation of ours.

127
00:08:56,031 --> 00:08:58,664
Now, since you're reading this,
you'd be interested to know

128
00:08:58,666 --> 00:09:01,166
that my favorite catches
were the intellectuals.

129
00:09:01,168 --> 00:09:04,102
They'd be the ones
in the straight black dresses,

130
00:09:04,104 --> 00:09:05,636
severe black hair,

131
00:09:05,638 --> 00:09:08,205
your basic neurotic, eyeglasses,

132
00:09:08,207 --> 00:09:11,208
cool-jazz, liberal,
"I'll fuck any black guy

133
00:09:11,210 --> 00:09:16,679
"as part of my personal apology
for racism in America" type.

134
00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:18,681
Anyhow, on this particular night,

135
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:21,150
we're in a club in New Jersey,
it's the '50s,

136
00:09:21,152 --> 00:09:23,952
and I'm mingling with the crowd.

137
00:09:23,954 --> 00:09:25,987
Now, when I say mingling, what I mean

138
00:09:25,989 --> 00:09:28,556
is I was scouting
for who I would sleep with.

139
00:09:28,558 --> 00:09:30,724
Didn't matter if the girls came with dates.

140
00:09:30,726 --> 00:09:33,993
That was Reuben's job.
Reuben is my valet.

141
00:09:33,995 --> 00:09:37,162
I never figured out how Reuben
helped them get rid of their dates,

142
00:09:37,164 --> 00:09:39,831
but they were always
gone by the second show.

143
00:09:39,833 --> 00:09:42,066
Reuben could clean up any situation.

144
00:09:42,068 --> 00:09:44,134
Excuse me, miss.
May I say that I think

145
00:09:44,136 --> 00:09:47,237
you have the most beautiful eyes
I have ever seen.

146
00:09:47,239 --> 00:09:49,172
- Thank you.
- Notice I say, "I think you've got"

147
00:09:49,174 --> 00:09:50,840
the most beautiful eyes I've seen,"

148
00:09:50,842 --> 00:09:52,241
because I haven't seen them yet.

149
00:09:52,243 --> 00:09:54,077
I've been too busy staring at your cans.

150
00:09:54,079 --> 00:09:56,179
Now, Lanny!

151
00:09:56,181 --> 00:09:57,780
I can't believe he just said that.

152
00:09:57,782 --> 00:09:59,681
That is completely unacceptable.

153
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:01,349
Madam, I do apologize.
I apologize,

154
00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:03,351
ladies and gentlemen,
for my friend's behavior.

155
00:10:03,353 --> 00:10:05,686
You cannot speak that way
to a perfect stranger.

156
00:10:05,688 --> 00:10:07,754
- Look, her husband's not offended.
- It's okay.

157
00:10:07,756 --> 00:10:10,189
- He's not?
- No, her husband's not offended.

158
00:10:10,191 --> 00:10:13,091
Her husband's not here.
This lucky guy is her boyfriend.

159
00:10:13,093 --> 00:10:15,193
And even he's not offended,
and do you know why?

160
00:10:15,195 --> 00:10:17,161
Well, I can certainly hazard a guess.

161
00:10:17,163 --> 00:10:18,762
What the hell is "hazard a guess"?

162
00:10:18,764 --> 00:10:20,730
For chrissake, Vince, this is America.

163
00:10:20,732 --> 00:10:24,100
We don't say "hazard a guess."
We say "yes," or we say "no."

164
00:10:24,102 --> 00:10:26,035
Well, I say "no" to you, Morris.

165
00:10:26,037 --> 00:10:27,970
Excuse me, sir.
Could you repeat that?

166
00:10:27,972 --> 00:10:30,072
I don't think the entire audience heard you.

167
00:10:30,074 --> 00:10:32,774
- Go back to where you came from, bastard!
- Let it go.

168
00:10:32,776 --> 00:10:34,242
I get hecklers all the time,

169
00:10:34,244 --> 00:10:36,010
but this schmuck came off pretty personal.

170
00:10:36,012 --> 00:10:37,678
Where did he think I came from?

171
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,713
"Bastard." "Bastard"!
He called me a "bastard."

172
00:10:39,715 --> 00:10:41,815
Now, it doesn't show from the front, Lanny.

173
00:10:41,817 --> 00:10:45,418
Now, please, would you kindly not mount me?
It's very disagreeable.

174
00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:47,953
Vince plunges straight
into quoting some lines I wrote

175
00:10:47,955 --> 00:10:50,021
from a song from our first motion picture.

176
00:10:50,023 --> 00:10:53,190
I happen to be honored
to work with this jerk.

177
00:10:53,192 --> 00:10:56,092
- Is that a compliment?
- I never frown with this clown.

178
00:10:56,094 --> 00:10:57,293
Never, never, never.

179
00:10:57,295 --> 00:10:58,861
I get a kick from this...

180
00:11:01,332 --> 00:11:03,365
friend of mine.

181
00:11:03,367 --> 00:11:06,768
Fine, but don't give the Mike to this kike.

182
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:13,106
- Well...
- Just relax.

183
00:11:13,108 --> 00:11:16,142
It's not often we get topped
by a member of our audience,

184
00:11:16,144 --> 00:11:19,678
but tonight, this gentleman
has done the near impossible.

185
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,413
What is your name?

186
00:11:21,415 --> 00:11:23,314
It's Joe.

187
00:11:23,316 --> 00:11:27,451
Joe, we were just wondering
if you'd be a great sport...

188
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:29,453
And help us out onstage.
What do you say, folks?

189
00:11:33,191 --> 00:11:35,024
Go on, Joe.

190
00:11:35,026 --> 00:11:38,160
Joe, here, is going to play
a crazy high school Professor

191
00:11:38,162 --> 00:11:42,831
who's about to give Lanny and I
our final high school exam.

192
00:11:42,833 --> 00:11:48,135
So if you'll just excuse us while we help
Joe change into his crazy Professor outfit.

193
00:11:48,137 --> 00:11:52,272
Lanny, a little costume-changing
music, if you please.

194
00:12:03,483 --> 00:12:06,083
Step this way.

195
00:12:06,085 --> 00:12:07,918
I'll have a quiet word with my partner

196
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,786
about the way he spoke to your wife.

197
00:12:09,788 --> 00:12:11,387
Completely unnecessary.

198
00:12:11,389 --> 00:12:13,155
Just this way.

199
00:12:29,370 --> 00:12:33,238
You call any Jew on this
planet anything you like.

200
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,174
But nobody calls my partner a kike.

201
00:12:36,176 --> 00:12:38,342
Do you understand?

202
00:12:55,226 --> 00:12:57,859
Boffing ladies and bashing gentlemen.

203
00:12:57,861 --> 00:13:00,494
I tell you, there was nothing under the sun

204
00:13:00,496 --> 00:13:03,830
Vince and I wouldn't do for each other.

205
00:13:03,832 --> 00:13:05,398
Are you finished?

206
00:13:16,176 --> 00:13:18,409
Thank you, mamie.

207
00:13:20,179 --> 00:13:22,812
I'm sorry about that, miss o'Connor.

208
00:13:22,814 --> 00:13:26,115
We just needed to be sure
you didn't take any notes.

209
00:13:26,117 --> 00:13:29,384
Lanny gave me very specific
instructions on that point.

210
00:13:29,386 --> 00:13:33,521
I don't understand why
he'd want me to read this.

211
00:13:33,523 --> 00:13:36,123
Why would he ever want
anyone to see this side of him?

212
00:13:36,125 --> 00:13:39,092
When you contacted us about
meeting Lanny for your book,

213
00:13:39,094 --> 00:13:41,094
it wasn't simply a question
of letting you know

214
00:13:41,096 --> 00:13:42,995
he wasn't interested in speaking with you.

215
00:13:42,997 --> 00:13:45,797
I believe my client wanted you to understand

216
00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:48,366
that he, in fact,
was completing a book of his own

217
00:13:48,368 --> 00:13:51,302
which would serve
not only his autobiography,

218
00:13:51,304 --> 00:13:54,271
but also as the definitive
account of the joint careers

219
00:13:54,273 --> 00:13:55,505
of Morris and Collins.

220
00:13:55,507 --> 00:13:57,540
You've had, at first hand,

221
00:13:57,542 --> 00:13:59,542
a sample of Lanny's writing voice.

222
00:13:59,544 --> 00:14:02,111
Yes, I have.

223
00:14:02,113 --> 00:14:04,880
Such a book, miss o'Connor,

224
00:14:04,882 --> 00:14:06,548
this raw, this honest,

225
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:09,117
would make your own efforts look...

226
00:14:09,119 --> 00:14:11,586
Well, there's been some very
nice translations of the Bible

227
00:14:11,588 --> 00:14:13,321
over the centuries,

228
00:14:13,323 --> 00:14:16,357
But they would run a very poor
second in popularity

229
00:14:16,359 --> 00:14:20,894
to the discovery
of the actual ten commandments.

230
00:14:20,896 --> 00:14:24,130
Single best part about teaching
grade two is the difference

231
00:14:24,132 --> 00:14:26,966
between the bright ones and
the dumb ones isn't so obvious.

232
00:14:26,968 --> 00:14:29,368
- What's so great about that?
- Well, the results of my work

233
00:14:29,370 --> 00:14:31,403
as a teacher aren't so depressing.

234
00:14:31,405 --> 00:14:34,172
Also, there's no homework
to correct in the evenings

235
00:14:34,174 --> 00:14:38,042
and... Well, none of the kids
know how to use drugs.

236
00:14:44,183 --> 00:14:47,284
Bonnie had come from New York
to visit me that summer.

237
00:14:47,286 --> 00:14:50,053
We'd been best friends since kindergarten.

238
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:53,356
At school we started
the Lanny and Vince fan club,

239
00:14:53,358 --> 00:14:57,460
raising almost $200
for that year's telethon.

240
00:14:57,462 --> 00:15:00,062
All of you, send in a bit of your allowance.

241
00:15:00,064 --> 00:15:03,065
Just a little bit.
A dime, a nickel, a penny.

242
00:15:03,067 --> 00:15:06,401
Every bit helps.

243
00:15:06,403 --> 00:15:08,569
The goal of the telethon that year

244
00:15:08,571 --> 00:15:11,605
was $3.9 million,

245
00:15:11,607 --> 00:15:13,373
which was a lot of dough at that time.

246
00:15:13,375 --> 00:15:17,276
Thank you, tom.
You're a prince among men.

247
00:15:17,278 --> 00:15:20,045
- Lanny!
- There are children watching.

248
00:15:20,047 --> 00:15:21,546
Where does he get his energy?

249
00:15:21,548 --> 00:15:23,581
To remind the viewers of the goal,

250
00:15:23,583 --> 00:15:28,919
we agreed the telethon
could run 39 hours, non-stop.

251
00:15:28,921 --> 00:15:32,989
The show would begin at 9 P.M. on
Friday, and finish at noon on Sunday.

252
00:15:32,991 --> 00:15:35,524
We paced it so that Vince and I
were together for the kickoff,

253
00:15:35,526 --> 00:15:37,659
most of the day on Saturday,

254
00:15:37,661 --> 00:15:42,430
then the big finale on Sunday
with us bleary-eyed and weeping

255
00:15:42,432 --> 00:15:44,498
as America got ready to go to church.

256
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,301
- Lanny! Lanny!
- What are you doin'?

257
00:15:48,303 --> 00:15:50,970
I'm ordering a pizza.
I'm starvin'.

258
00:15:50,972 --> 00:15:53,005
No anchovies on mine, Lanny.

259
00:15:53,007 --> 00:15:54,906
Hey, so who are you talkin' to?

260
00:15:54,908 --> 00:15:58,242
I'm talkin' to little Suzie
from whittier, California,

261
00:15:58,244 --> 00:16:01,545
and she is going to donate
three weeks of allowance.

262
00:16:01,547 --> 00:16:02,913
How about that, folks?

263
00:16:02,915 --> 00:16:04,314
Suzie from whittier!

264
00:16:04,316 --> 00:16:06,949
Thank you!
Three weeks of allowance.

265
00:16:06,951 --> 00:16:08,550
Surely, that's a challenge for all you...

266
00:16:08,552 --> 00:16:10,451
See, what you have to understand

267
00:16:10,453 --> 00:16:13,387
is that Vince and me were
essentially a boy-girl act.

268
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:16,256
I was the tramp,
ready for any sort of action,

269
00:16:16,258 --> 00:16:17,991
and Vince was the gentleman,

270
00:16:17,993 --> 00:16:20,259
always trying to make me behave myself.

271
00:16:20,261 --> 00:16:23,028
I was pleasure, and he was control.

272
00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:25,563
I was rock 'n' roll, and he was class.

273
00:16:25,565 --> 00:16:30,133
His presence gave America
permission to like me.

274
00:16:32,670 --> 00:16:36,505
My deal with the publisher gave
me first-class travel,

275
00:16:36,507 --> 00:16:38,206
a luxury I'd never enjoyed.

276
00:16:38,208 --> 00:16:40,675
Is there any chance
of switching to a window seat?

277
00:16:40,677 --> 00:16:43,277
Sorry, we're completely booked in first.

278
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:45,545
But these center seats are really wonderful.

279
00:16:45,547 --> 00:16:47,947
See, if you push here...

280
00:16:47,949 --> 00:16:49,214
can I show you?

281
00:16:49,216 --> 00:16:50,481
Sure.

282
00:16:52,151 --> 00:16:55,085
The chair swivels to the left and the right.

283
00:16:55,087 --> 00:16:57,487
And this converts
to a full-size dining table

284
00:16:57,489 --> 00:16:59,455
during our pan am platinum service.

285
00:16:59,457 --> 00:17:02,224
With damask linen and silverware by fornari,

286
00:17:02,226 --> 00:17:04,693
so you don't have to eat off a tray.

287
00:17:04,695 --> 00:17:07,462
Again, that's only for these center seats.

288
00:17:07,464 --> 00:17:09,697
How does that sound?

289
00:17:09,699 --> 00:17:12,733
At that time,
when you traveled first-class,

290
00:17:12,735 --> 00:17:14,334
people would always ask you

291
00:17:14,336 --> 00:17:17,170
if you met someone famous on the flight.

292
00:17:17,172 --> 00:17:18,171
Mr. Morris.

293
00:17:18,173 --> 00:17:19,305
Thank you.

294
00:17:19,307 --> 00:17:20,472
You're welcome.

295
00:17:29,449 --> 00:17:32,716
Though he would later
accuse me of engineering this,

296
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:34,451
I didn't.

297
00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:37,754
It just... Happened.

298
00:17:44,195 --> 00:17:47,396
Reuben, so they...
they record these songs

299
00:17:47,398 --> 00:17:49,331
in a studio that I am paying for.

300
00:17:49,333 --> 00:17:51,333
Songs that are recorded for me

301
00:17:51,335 --> 00:17:53,735
that they are contracted to
provide. Are you with me here?

302
00:17:53,737 --> 00:17:55,536
Yes, Lanny, it's just that...

303
00:17:55,538 --> 00:17:57,137
no, it's just that nothing, irv.

304
00:17:57,139 --> 00:17:58,738
Please, let me finish.
So they record...

305
00:17:58,740 --> 00:18:01,474
I read an interview
where Lanny was given credit

306
00:18:01,476 --> 00:18:03,776
for insisting his Butler
travel in the same class

307
00:18:03,778 --> 00:18:07,045
and stay at the same hotels as his boss.

308
00:18:07,047 --> 00:18:11,082
The valet's attentiveness was impressive.

309
00:18:11,084 --> 00:18:14,618
Looks like you'll be having
dinner with Lanny Morris!

310
00:18:17,489 --> 00:18:18,688
Hello.

311
00:18:18,690 --> 00:18:20,489
Hi.

312
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,567
We should get a waiter to slide
a matchbook under the airplane.

313
00:18:34,670 --> 00:18:37,137
There we go.

314
00:18:37,139 --> 00:18:39,172
That should hold.

315
00:18:39,174 --> 00:18:40,573
This is my friend, Reuben.

316
00:18:40,575 --> 00:18:43,142
- Hi.
- Hi.

317
00:18:43,144 --> 00:18:45,277
And this is also my friend,
technically speaking,

318
00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:46,411
and business manager, irv.

319
00:18:46,413 --> 00:18:47,413
Hi.

320
00:18:49,449 --> 00:18:50,781
My name is Lanny.

321
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,219
And what's your name?

322
00:18:58,555 --> 00:19:00,889
Bonnie. Bonnie trout.

323
00:19:00,891 --> 00:19:02,523
What do you do, Bonnie?

324
00:19:02,525 --> 00:19:04,358
I teach.

325
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:06,226
And what do you teach?

326
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:08,428
- Second grade.
- Well, we have a lot in common.

327
00:19:08,430 --> 00:19:10,430
You teach second grade,
I went to second grade.

328
00:19:10,432 --> 00:19:13,266
Irv, you went to second grade
too, didn't you?

329
00:19:13,268 --> 00:19:16,402
- Many times.
- Tell me, miss trout,

330
00:19:16,404 --> 00:19:17,903
I don't mean to be impolite

331
00:19:17,905 --> 00:19:19,738
but I was wondering

332
00:19:19,740 --> 00:19:21,740
how a second grade school teacher

333
00:19:21,742 --> 00:19:23,475
affords to fly first class.

334
00:19:25,378 --> 00:19:27,811
Well... I have a pass

335
00:19:27,813 --> 00:19:31,548
that allows me free use
of the subway on weekends,

336
00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:36,219
and the hot lunches
at school are only 50 cents...

337
00:19:36,221 --> 00:19:40,456
And I'm the mistress
of a wealthy, married man

338
00:19:40,458 --> 00:19:42,524
and when he and his wife go on vacation,

339
00:19:42,526 --> 00:19:47,328
he treats me to a first-class
trip in the opposite direction.

340
00:19:47,330 --> 00:19:49,697
But look at me, talking only about myself.

341
00:19:49,699 --> 00:19:52,966
What do you do for a living?

342
00:19:52,968 --> 00:19:55,735
I'm a French impressionist
painter out of Tahiti, mainly.

343
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:57,536
But I'm just doing that to pay the bills.

344
00:19:57,538 --> 00:20:00,705
My real ambition is to become
a stockbroker in Paris.

345
00:20:00,707 --> 00:20:02,640
- I don't get it.
- Paul Gauguin.

346
00:20:02,642 --> 00:20:04,675
He gave up being a successful stockbroker

347
00:20:04,677 --> 00:20:08,278
to become a painter in the South seas.

348
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,280
You think the average person knows that?

349
00:20:10,282 --> 00:20:14,484
Well, we're not talking about
the average person, irv.

350
00:20:16,754 --> 00:20:18,487
In some ways,

351
00:20:18,489 --> 00:20:22,290
he had never stopped being a hero to me.

352
00:20:22,292 --> 00:20:24,525
That's why it was impossible to think

353
00:20:24,527 --> 00:20:26,660
he might also be a killer.

354
00:20:33,401 --> 00:20:35,000
Well, this has been great.

355
00:20:35,002 --> 00:20:37,469
I'm gonna see you inside your apartment.

356
00:20:37,471 --> 00:20:38,470
There's really no need.

357
00:20:38,472 --> 00:20:40,004
Don't be silly.

358
00:20:40,006 --> 00:20:42,239
I'm not gonna try to come in.

359
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:44,474
Promise.

360
00:20:44,476 --> 00:20:47,944
- You've been away from your apartment for how long now?
- Ages.

361
00:20:47,946 --> 00:20:50,913
You never know if somebody's
broken in while you were gone.

362
00:20:50,915 --> 00:20:54,349
I'll just see you inside your door.

363
00:20:54,351 --> 00:20:57,418
Believe me, I'm...
I'm not trying to seduce you.

364
00:20:57,420 --> 00:20:59,553
I have to do
<i>the today show</i> at 7 A.M.

365
00:20:59,555 --> 00:21:02,022
They want me in makeup
at 6:15.

366
00:21:02,024 --> 00:21:04,691
Bonnie had moved to New York
for the teaching job

367
00:21:04,693 --> 00:21:06,726
a little over a year ago.

368
00:21:06,728 --> 00:21:09,028
I had never visited her and had no idea

369
00:21:09,030 --> 00:21:10,863
if this was the right place.

370
00:21:11,999 --> 00:21:13,999
Which floor?

371
00:21:14,001 --> 00:21:15,934
Why...

372
00:21:17,003 --> 00:21:18,502
- 4-d.
- Forty?

373
00:21:18,504 --> 00:21:21,471
It only goes up to six.

374
00:21:23,341 --> 00:21:24,940
Four-d...

375
00:21:24,942 --> 00:21:26,374
Four-d, the fourth floor.

376
00:21:50,328 --> 00:21:52,594
Which way?

377
00:21:52,596 --> 00:21:53,595
Guess.

378
00:21:53,597 --> 00:21:54,596
Why?

379
00:21:54,598 --> 00:21:55,964
It's a test.

380
00:21:55,966 --> 00:21:57,932
A test?

381
00:21:59,568 --> 00:22:01,034
Okay.

382
00:22:01,036 --> 00:22:02,602
This way.

383
00:22:06,074 --> 00:22:08,641
So why didn't we take this elevator?

384
00:22:08,643 --> 00:22:10,442
Doesn't work.

385
00:22:13,512 --> 00:22:16,980
Well... good night.

386
00:22:16,982 --> 00:22:18,915
No, I'm going to see
you into your apartment.

387
00:22:18,917 --> 00:22:21,050
And then I'm gonna leave
you alone until tomorrow.

388
00:22:39,467 --> 00:22:42,100
I never get which key goes
in which lock the first time.

389
00:22:44,437 --> 00:22:46,069
Hey, looks like they fixed it.

390
00:22:58,446 --> 00:22:59,978
You okay?

391
00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:02,546
Maybe we should turn on a light.

392
00:23:05,617 --> 00:23:07,416
Whoops.

393
00:23:16,093 --> 00:23:18,493
Well...

394
00:23:18,495 --> 00:23:19,694
I'm going to leave you now

395
00:23:19,696 --> 00:23:20,928
because I have Reuben and irv

396
00:23:20,930 --> 00:23:22,763
waiting in the limousine downstairs,

397
00:23:22,765 --> 00:23:27,133
and I should get some sleep
for<i> the today show.</i>

398
00:23:29,504 --> 00:23:30,870
So...

399
00:23:35,376 --> 00:23:37,876
It was lovely to meet you, Bonnie.

400
00:23:57,129 --> 00:23:59,796
By the end of the telethon,
we had no voices.

401
00:23:59,798 --> 00:24:03,633
Thirty-nine hours
of non-stop entertainment.

402
00:24:03,635 --> 00:24:06,669
A telethon was a superhuman feat.

403
00:24:06,671 --> 00:24:10,139
We weren't just heroes, we were gods.

404
00:24:12,877 --> 00:24:15,878
A couple of the boys were there
to make sure we got out alive

405
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,180
to make the flight to New York.

406
00:24:22,052 --> 00:24:25,119
Everyone. Listen.
Listen.

407
00:24:25,121 --> 00:24:27,521
Gentlemen...
gentlemen, please.

408
00:24:27,523 --> 00:24:30,891
Gentlemen, if I could
just have your attention.

409
00:24:30,893 --> 00:24:33,126
Everyone, Mr. Collins
and Mr. Morris

410
00:24:33,128 --> 00:24:35,695
will answer no questions
until the press conference

411
00:24:35,697 --> 00:24:37,630
at the palace del sol.

412
00:24:37,632 --> 00:24:39,164
Gentlemen, there will be plenty of time

413
00:24:39,166 --> 00:24:43,501
to answer your questions
at the palace del sol.

414
00:24:43,503 --> 00:24:45,569
Thank you, and we will answer your questions

415
00:24:45,571 --> 00:24:48,705
at the press conference.
Thank you for coming.

416
00:24:54,612 --> 00:24:56,011
We had a full police escort,

417
00:24:56,013 --> 00:24:57,979
along with several bodyguards who were there

418
00:24:57,981 --> 00:24:59,981
to protect us from any thoughts
we might have had

419
00:24:59,983 --> 00:25:02,850
of going awol
prior to this press conference.

420
00:25:02,852 --> 00:25:06,186
A pair of New Jersey's finest
walked on either side of us

421
00:25:06,188 --> 00:25:09,055
as we entered the lobby of the hotel.

422
00:25:09,057 --> 00:25:10,923
See, it was an indication of how legitimate

423
00:25:10,925 --> 00:25:13,091
the mob had gone, that they could bring in

424
00:25:13,093 --> 00:25:17,495
the local police to guard
the facade of their racket.

425
00:25:17,497 --> 00:25:21,699
The local chief was a man
named Jack scaglia.

426
00:25:21,701 --> 00:25:24,802
And of course,
the two gentlemen on my right,

427
00:25:24,804 --> 00:25:28,105
who need no introduction,
have come here directly

428
00:25:28,107 --> 00:25:30,207
from their record-breaking
polio telethon

429
00:25:30,209 --> 00:25:33,210
in Miami, Florida.

430
00:25:33,212 --> 00:25:36,746
So the first thing I'd like to
announce is that Mr. sanmarco...

431
00:25:36,748 --> 00:25:39,682
I wish I could tell you that Sally sanmarco

432
00:25:39,684 --> 00:25:42,551
"was a slim, 6'6" guy
who looked like a prince

433
00:25:42,553 --> 00:25:44,185
and spoke with an English accent.

434
00:25:44,187 --> 00:25:46,954
Then I wouldn't seem to be
falling back on the stereotype.

435
00:25:46,956 --> 00:25:48,255
The trouble was,

436
00:25:48,257 --> 00:25:50,824
Sally was straight out of central casting.

437
00:25:50,826 --> 00:25:53,793
A gangster who looked and talked

438
00:25:53,795 --> 00:25:56,662
just like you would expect from the movies.

439
00:25:56,664 --> 00:25:59,231
How did it feel to raise
all that money for polio?

440
00:25:59,233 --> 00:26:01,900
It felt great. It felt...
felt really great.

441
00:26:01,902 --> 00:26:05,136
From a publicity angle and in
terms of giving him legitimacy,

442
00:26:05,138 --> 00:26:07,705
this was a huge coup for Sally.

443
00:26:07,707 --> 00:26:11,709
Like I said, we were gods.

444
00:26:11,711 --> 00:26:13,977
We'd only been in the New York
area for an hour or so,

445
00:26:13,979 --> 00:26:16,112
during which time we were constantly watched

446
00:26:16,114 --> 00:26:17,780
by police and reporters,

447
00:26:17,782 --> 00:26:21,016
which ended up being a good thing for us.

448
00:26:21,018 --> 00:26:24,019
We got ya our best bridal suite.

449
00:26:24,021 --> 00:26:27,122
Fuckin' nice?

450
00:26:27,124 --> 00:26:30,058
People talk about having fancy
apartments and hotel rooms

451
00:26:30,060 --> 00:26:32,293
on the West Side of Manhattan.
What do they see?

452
00:26:32,295 --> 00:26:35,095
Fuckin' New Jersey.
Here, you see New York City.

453
00:26:42,771 --> 00:26:46,072
Unfortunately, Vince and I were
acquainted with the dead girl

454
00:26:46,074 --> 00:26:50,209
in the bathroom of
our hotel suite in New Jersey.

455
00:26:50,211 --> 00:26:53,946
Her last name was o'Flaherty.

456
00:26:53,948 --> 00:26:58,550
Her first name was Maureen.

457
00:26:58,552 --> 00:27:01,286
Karen, we decided to trade
apartments, not identities.

458
00:27:01,288 --> 00:27:02,920
Why didn't you make up a name?

459
00:27:02,922 --> 00:27:05,722
Bonnie, I was looking
at a five-hour flight.

460
00:27:05,724 --> 00:27:07,690
I-I didn't want to make up
a life story

461
00:27:07,692 --> 00:27:09,091
that wasn't attached to anything.

462
00:27:09,093 --> 00:27:10,859
Well, I returned the offense.

463
00:27:10,861 --> 00:27:13,595
- I got to pretend I was you.
- What do you mean?

464
00:27:13,597 --> 00:27:16,898
You received a package. Messenger service.
I signed your name.

465
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:19,100
- Who's it from?
- No return address.

466
00:27:19,102 --> 00:27:20,901
- Want me to open it?
- Sure.

467
00:27:20,903 --> 00:27:23,003
That's good. I already did.
It's a manuscript.

468
00:27:23,005 --> 00:27:27,640
Excerpt from the<i> memoirs of Lanny Morris.</i>

469
00:27:27,642 --> 00:27:29,775
Hey, all your dreams are coming true.

470
00:27:29,777 --> 00:27:32,244
He's writing you love letters already.

471
00:27:32,246 --> 00:27:34,045
Bonnie, I need to know what he's written.

472
00:27:34,047 --> 00:27:35,179
Well, I'll send it to you.

473
00:27:35,181 --> 00:27:36,346
No, now.
Before he calls me

474
00:27:36,348 --> 00:27:37,348
tomorrow.

475
00:27:39,317 --> 00:27:41,317
Please?

476
00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:42,785
All right.

477
00:27:44,622 --> 00:27:46,655
All right.

478
00:27:46,657 --> 00:27:48,023
Here we go.

479
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:53,861
"Let me explain to you
why two very famous guys

480
00:27:53,863 --> 00:27:56,930
"just finishing
a nationally-broadcast telethon

481
00:27:56,932 --> 00:27:58,798
ended up in New Jersey."

482
00:28:03,203 --> 00:28:05,369
For years, the palace del sol

483
00:28:05,371 --> 00:28:08,739
was one of the centers of mob prosperity.

484
00:28:08,741 --> 00:28:10,140
Needless to say,

485
00:28:10,142 --> 00:28:11,908
a major headliner in the showroom

486
00:28:11,910 --> 00:28:15,144
helped legitimize the entire operation.

487
00:28:15,146 --> 00:28:17,146
- Give 'er a kiss.
- Yeah, beautiful.

488
00:28:17,148 --> 00:28:20,349
One more guys. That's it.
That's great. Thank you.

489
00:28:20,351 --> 00:28:23,218
Now, Vince and I needed help
in keeping us up all the time,

490
00:28:23,220 --> 00:28:25,353
and in a way of thinking in the '50s,

491
00:28:25,355 --> 00:28:28,023
anything you didn't take
with a needle was okay.

492
00:28:28,025 --> 00:28:29,858
It wasn't "serious" serious.

493
00:28:29,860 --> 00:28:31,926
It was like running a red light.

494
00:28:31,928 --> 00:28:34,061
Everyone used bennies.

495
00:28:34,063 --> 00:28:36,830
Vince added them to his
morning coffee like sugar.

496
00:28:41,803 --> 00:28:43,869
Not that you could tell.

497
00:28:45,339 --> 00:28:47,839
When we did finally decide to flatten out,

498
00:28:47,841 --> 00:28:51,976
we'd take two or three tuinals,
or three or four "threeinalls."

499
00:28:51,978 --> 00:28:55,980
They were really good. Between the
moment you took them and passing out,

500
00:28:55,982 --> 00:28:59,216
it felt really... Sexy.

501
00:29:34,779 --> 00:29:36,111
Sure.

502
00:29:36,113 --> 00:29:37,178
Enjoy the show.

503
00:29:37,180 --> 00:29:39,346
Thank you.

504
00:29:39,348 --> 00:29:41,414
That must have been good for you.

505
00:29:43,050 --> 00:29:44,516
The walls of the blue grotto

506
00:29:44,518 --> 00:29:47,552
were made of a mixture
of plaster and styrofoam.

507
00:29:47,554 --> 00:29:48,986
Flammable as all hell.

508
00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:51,121
But the boys had learned it was cheaper

509
00:29:51,123 --> 00:29:54,357
to give the inspector $200 and
a ringside table to our show

510
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:57,893
than to spend thousands
of dollars on fireproofing.

511
00:29:57,895 --> 00:30:01,263
Besides, it was always vital in a
business enterprise of this sort

512
00:30:01,265 --> 00:30:05,166
to have the option to torch
the place at a moment's notice,

513
00:30:05,168 --> 00:30:07,501
should the need present itself.

514
00:30:09,571 --> 00:30:11,571
One night, after our show,

515
00:30:11,573 --> 00:30:13,239
we were taken to Sally's office.

516
00:30:13,241 --> 00:30:14,840
We wondered what we had done wrong,

517
00:30:14,842 --> 00:30:16,474
but what we had done, was done good.

518
00:30:16,476 --> 00:30:19,043
Sally started going on about
how much he liked us,

519
00:30:19,045 --> 00:30:22,279
how he thought we were
a good fit with his crowd,

520
00:30:22,281 --> 00:30:24,981
meaning that we brought in
an audience of heavy drinkers,

521
00:30:24,983 --> 00:30:27,016
adulterers and gamblers.

522
00:30:27,018 --> 00:30:28,417
So, what we want is for you boys

523
00:30:28,419 --> 00:30:30,886
to come back here three months from now,

524
00:30:30,888 --> 00:30:32,554
and open our new showroom for us.

525
00:30:32,556 --> 00:30:36,457
A two week, exclusive, limited engagement

526
00:30:36,459 --> 00:30:39,593
that we want you to do for us for six weeks.

527
00:30:39,595 --> 00:30:42,862
God help you when a killer
takes a shining to you.

528
00:30:42,864 --> 00:30:44,430
I looked at Vince and scratched my nose,

529
00:30:44,432 --> 00:30:47,199
which meant our strongest no.

530
00:30:47,201 --> 00:30:49,968
That's... that's a very great honor, Sally.

531
00:30:49,970 --> 00:30:51,569
You're damn fuckin' right it is.

532
00:30:51,571 --> 00:30:54,038
The thing is, we're just trying to cut down

533
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,973
on the nightclub work at the moment.

534
00:30:55,975 --> 00:30:58,608
We turned down the sands
so we could do a TV special,

535
00:30:58,610 --> 00:31:01,310
and the only reason
we still work the versailles

536
00:31:01,312 --> 00:31:02,877
is out of friendship for you.

537
00:31:06,349 --> 00:31:08,315
What dates were you thinking of?

538
00:31:08,317 --> 00:31:10,050
We open November 15th.

539
00:31:10,052 --> 00:31:12,919
Sally, any other day
we would be here in a flash

540
00:31:12,921 --> 00:31:16,088
but, you know, that's the day right
after the next polio telethon.

541
00:31:16,090 --> 00:31:19,057
I mean, we always take two weeks
off right after that to recover.

542
00:31:19,059 --> 00:31:20,958
- Right, Vince?
- At least.

543
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,527
- I mean, we're tired.
- That's the way I want you.

544
00:31:23,529 --> 00:31:26,930
After the fuckin' telethon,
we fly ya up from Miami,

545
00:31:26,932 --> 00:31:29,866
hold a press conference,
all fuckin' exhausted,

546
00:31:29,868 --> 00:31:31,968
so people know what heroes you are.

547
00:31:31,970 --> 00:31:35,438
I'll keep a suite for ya
with the best hookers I got.

548
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,873
Your own personal cathouse.

549
00:31:37,875 --> 00:31:39,407
And I'll have them send you up

550
00:31:39,409 --> 00:31:41,509
a shipment of lobsters and stone crabs.

551
00:31:41,511 --> 00:31:42,643
You like lobsters?

552
00:31:42,645 --> 00:31:44,211
Love 'em.

553
00:31:44,213 --> 00:31:49,015
And a case of these special grapefruits

554
00:31:49,017 --> 00:31:52,218
that I get special down there.

555
00:31:52,220 --> 00:31:55,321
The most delicious thing
you ever tasted in your life.

556
00:31:55,323 --> 00:31:57,623
Juicy, thin skin.

557
00:31:57,625 --> 00:32:02,160
Months later, on the night
before the telethon in Miami,

558
00:32:02,162 --> 00:32:04,996
we got back to our room and found that Sally

559
00:32:04,998 --> 00:32:08,198
had been more than good to his word.

560
00:32:10,001 --> 00:32:12,935
Laid out around the room were various crates

561
00:32:12,937 --> 00:32:15,504
bearing the addresses of their destination.

562
00:32:15,506 --> 00:32:18,974
Our suite at the palace del sol
hotel in New Jersey.

563
00:32:18,976 --> 00:32:21,009
You like lobsters?

564
00:32:21,011 --> 00:32:22,176
They're wonderful.

565
00:32:22,178 --> 00:32:23,644
See you in New Jersey.

566
00:32:23,646 --> 00:32:25,312
New Jersey.

567
00:32:25,314 --> 00:32:28,381
Thin skin, fuckin' most
delicious fuckin' thing

568
00:32:28,383 --> 00:32:30,316
you ever had in your fuckin' life.

569
00:32:30,318 --> 00:32:32,651
"What I thought was a box
of beach balls turned out"

570
00:32:32,653 --> 00:32:35,987
"to be the thinnest-skinned,
dripping-wet grapefruits"

571
00:32:35,989 --> 00:32:37,621
"I'd ever tasted in my life."

572
00:32:37,623 --> 00:32:40,457
"The six-foot crate was filled
with fruits of the sea"

573
00:32:40,459 --> 00:32:43,426
"slowly shifting
over a bed of ice."

574
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:47,196
Yeah, this is Lanny Morris. S-send
up three steaks, all right?

575
00:32:47,198 --> 00:32:49,398
- Yeah. Make 'em rare this time?
- Yeah, rare.

576
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,066
- Like, bloody.
- Bloody.

577
00:32:51,068 --> 00:32:53,701
A... Couple of bottles
of that... that champagne.

578
00:32:53,703 --> 00:32:56,570
- Make that three.
- Three bottles of champagne.

579
00:32:56,572 --> 00:32:59,573
And can you make sure
that Maureen delivers 'em?

580
00:32:59,575 --> 00:33:01,408
Yeah, Maureen.

581
00:33:01,410 --> 00:33:03,443
We called down for Maureen,

582
00:33:03,445 --> 00:33:05,478
the room-service girl
I'd met earlier,

583
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,180
who wanted the interview
for her school paper.

584
00:33:08,182 --> 00:33:11,082
She brought up three steaks, one for her,

585
00:33:11,084 --> 00:33:14,118
as her last official delivery of the day.

586
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,719
As much as I love lobster,

587
00:33:15,721 --> 00:33:19,155
seeing all that shellfish
nestled on ice in the crate

588
00:33:19,157 --> 00:33:23,158
put me in the mood for hooves, not claws.

589
00:33:32,569 --> 00:33:35,036
The interview for Maureen's campus paper

590
00:33:35,038 --> 00:33:37,571
went better than expected.

591
00:33:37,573 --> 00:33:40,140
Vince and I popped some tuinals

592
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:42,542
to insure that we would sleep like babes,

593
00:33:42,544 --> 00:33:45,211
after we wore off the general horniness

594
00:33:45,213 --> 00:33:47,012
that the pills first give you.

595
00:33:47,014 --> 00:33:49,247
Vince bought insurance on his bet

596
00:33:49,249 --> 00:33:52,250
by havin' a few babes on hand.

597
00:33:52,252 --> 00:33:55,386
Well, not exactly on his hand.

598
00:33:55,388 --> 00:33:57,187
That wasn't his preference.

599
00:33:57,189 --> 00:33:59,556
- "Not exactly on his hand."
- That wasn't

600
00:33:59,558 --> 00:34:01,024
his preference."

601
00:34:01,026 --> 00:34:03,326
"Not exactly on his hand"?

602
00:34:03,328 --> 00:34:07,163
"That wasn't his preference"?

603
00:34:07,165 --> 00:34:09,999
"The tuinals, coupled with
a nice amount of booze,

604
00:34:10,001 --> 00:34:12,601
"guaranteed us the sleep of the dead.

605
00:34:12,603 --> 00:34:15,337
"Late the next morning,
Maureen was sent packing

606
00:34:15,339 --> 00:34:17,339
"and Vince and I prepared ourselves

607
00:34:17,341 --> 00:34:22,344
for that night's broadcast."

608
00:34:22,346 --> 00:34:26,014
Well, I guess this is one story my kids
won't have to give a book report on.

609
00:34:29,185 --> 00:34:31,251
Thanks.

610
00:34:31,253 --> 00:34:33,286
Must be weird to find out that the object

611
00:34:33,288 --> 00:34:35,755
of all your adolescent fantasies is a pig.

612
00:34:37,158 --> 00:34:40,025
He's not like that.

613
00:34:40,027 --> 00:34:43,728
So it's just the way he describes himself.

614
00:34:43,730 --> 00:34:46,464
She was right.

615
00:34:46,466 --> 00:34:49,200
Which was the real Lanny?

616
00:34:49,202 --> 00:34:52,736
I'd find out later that the story
of the hookers in the hotel suite

617
00:34:52,738 --> 00:34:55,472
was a complete fabrication.

618
00:34:55,474 --> 00:34:59,074
That night, Maureen was alone.

619
00:35:25,528 --> 00:35:27,227
Hello?

620
00:35:27,229 --> 00:35:28,795
So how did you like the show?

621
00:35:28,797 --> 00:35:30,429
Lanny?

622
00:35:32,433 --> 00:35:35,834
<i>The today show.</i>
You did watch, didn't you?

623
00:35:35,836 --> 00:35:37,569
The show.

624
00:35:37,571 --> 00:35:39,270
You didn't watch.

625
00:35:39,272 --> 00:35:41,505
Wow, that's scary.

626
00:35:43,542 --> 00:35:46,075
You see, when you're a star, you...

627
00:35:46,077 --> 00:35:49,578
you live in terror,
wondering if it's all over yet.

628
00:35:49,580 --> 00:35:52,314
Y-y-you keep
looking for the signs.

629
00:35:52,316 --> 00:35:56,318
You're shooting a scene from a movie on a
New York street, and a crowd doesn't form.

630
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,853
You meet a girl on a plane, and
ya tell her that you're gonna be

631
00:35:58,855 --> 00:36:00,588
on<i> the today show</i> the next morning,

632
00:36:00,590 --> 00:36:03,190
and she doesn't wake up early to watch.

633
00:36:03,192 --> 00:36:06,393
It's... Very scary.

634
00:36:06,395 --> 00:36:09,829
Hey, you know, I mentioned you on the air.

635
00:36:09,831 --> 00:36:11,831
You did?

636
00:36:11,833 --> 00:36:13,866
Yes, I proposed to you on the air.

637
00:36:13,868 --> 00:36:15,567
Your apartment building is probably

638
00:36:15,569 --> 00:36:17,135
surrounded with photographers

639
00:36:17,137 --> 00:36:18,169
at this very moment.

640
00:36:18,171 --> 00:36:20,538
You're kidding.

641
00:36:20,540 --> 00:36:22,840
Yes, I'm kidding.

642
00:36:25,377 --> 00:36:27,443
So...

643
00:36:27,445 --> 00:36:29,344
What time would you like to meet?

644
00:36:53,435 --> 00:36:56,469
Stanley, this is Bonnie.
Bonnie, Stanley.

645
00:36:56,471 --> 00:36:58,204
Nice to meet you.

646
00:36:58,206 --> 00:36:59,672
Is the food almost ready, Stan?

647
00:36:59,674 --> 00:37:03,175
Yep. I'll bring it
right out, Mr. Lanny.

648
00:37:03,177 --> 00:37:06,845
I was very hungry, so I asked Stanley
to prepare us something special.

649
00:37:06,847 --> 00:37:08,880
That sounds great.

650
00:37:10,450 --> 00:37:12,616
Tell me, what kind of a meeting

651
00:37:12,618 --> 00:37:15,251
does a schoolteacher have to go
to during the summer vacation?

652
00:37:15,253 --> 00:37:18,821
I'm exploring the possibility
of another job.

653
00:37:18,823 --> 00:37:20,489
Something in publishing.

654
00:37:20,491 --> 00:37:22,691
How did it go?

655
00:37:22,693 --> 00:37:24,626
Okay.

656
00:37:24,628 --> 00:37:27,895
Have you ever thought about writing a book?

657
00:37:27,897 --> 00:37:29,831
About what?

658
00:37:29,833 --> 00:37:31,432
Your life.

659
00:37:31,434 --> 00:37:33,367
Sure. When I'm dead.

660
00:37:33,369 --> 00:37:35,469
No, seriously.

661
00:37:35,471 --> 00:37:37,737
It would have to be published after I died

662
00:37:37,739 --> 00:37:39,905
when I wouldn't care
what anybody thought about me.

663
00:37:41,642 --> 00:37:43,475
So, what would you write about...

664
00:37:43,477 --> 00:37:45,710
If you were going to tell the truth?

665
00:37:45,712 --> 00:37:47,578
In my book.

666
00:37:47,580 --> 00:37:51,481
Well, the truth is,
I've met four presidents.

667
00:37:51,483 --> 00:37:53,816
Each one of them seemed like
they were totally out of it.

668
00:37:53,818 --> 00:37:55,551
Like they had no idea what was going on.

669
00:37:55,553 --> 00:37:56,985
Even j.F.K.
Left me unimpressed.

670
00:37:56,987 --> 00:37:59,020
I felt like I was with the boss' son.

671
00:37:59,022 --> 00:38:00,921
You don't think you could say that?

672
00:38:00,923 --> 00:38:04,024
Not if I was planning on living
in this country. No, no.

673
00:38:04,026 --> 00:38:07,327
I don't think that Judy garland
was such a great singer

674
00:38:07,329 --> 00:38:08,795
after she turned 16.

675
00:38:08,797 --> 00:38:10,363
That quiver, you know,

676
00:38:10,365 --> 00:38:11,897
it was like... She had
no control over it.

677
00:38:11,899 --> 00:38:13,598
I would get killed for saying that.

678
00:38:15,068 --> 00:38:17,968
Or... or that Marilyn Monroe
was no better an actress

679
00:38:17,970 --> 00:38:21,571
after she studied with
Lee strasberg than before.

680
00:38:21,573 --> 00:38:22,872
Yeah.

681
00:38:24,375 --> 00:38:26,708
I'm saying what really happened.

682
00:38:30,613 --> 00:38:32,813
Having to be a nice guy

683
00:38:32,815 --> 00:38:35,348
is the toughest job in the world
when you're not.

684
00:38:41,888 --> 00:38:44,655
This is, lamb in tea sauce.

685
00:38:44,657 --> 00:38:48,425
This is twice-cooked pork
with shredded, pickled cabbage.

686
00:38:48,427 --> 00:38:50,827
Kung pao chicken.

687
00:38:50,829 --> 00:38:53,095
And this is kung ping loh haa,

688
00:38:53,097 --> 00:38:54,896
lobster in tangerine peel

689
00:38:54,898 --> 00:38:58,366
for you and your lovely lady friend.

690
00:38:58,368 --> 00:39:00,501
You shouldn't have done that, Stanley.

691
00:39:00,503 --> 00:39:01,668
I don't eat lobster.

692
00:39:01,670 --> 00:39:03,569
I'm Jewish.

693
00:39:03,571 --> 00:39:04,870
But you eat pork.

694
00:39:04,872 --> 00:39:06,471
Do you have a problem with that?

695
00:39:06,473 --> 00:39:09,006
- No, I just thought...
- No shrimp, no lobster.

696
00:39:09,008 --> 00:39:11,675
They're disgusting.
Take it away.

697
00:39:11,677 --> 00:39:13,710
I will pay for the dish,
but take it away, please.

698
00:39:13,712 --> 00:39:16,712
I-I... I'll change it.

699
00:39:18,415 --> 00:39:20,415
I'm sorry, I...

700
00:39:20,417 --> 00:39:22,850
I should have asked.
Maybe you love lobster.

701
00:39:22,852 --> 00:39:25,719
I'm fine.

702
00:39:25,721 --> 00:39:27,620
Have you ever had szechwan cuisine before?

703
00:39:27,622 --> 00:39:30,923
It's from the northern part of China.

704
00:39:30,925 --> 00:39:33,759
It must be strange for you.

705
00:39:33,761 --> 00:39:36,094
If you complain to a waiter...

706
00:39:36,096 --> 00:39:38,996
You're not just some jerk at table five.

707
00:39:38,998 --> 00:39:40,664
You're Lanny Morris.

708
00:39:40,666 --> 00:39:44,401
I know that everyone
dreams about being famous,

709
00:39:44,403 --> 00:39:46,436
but it would be really interesting to know

710
00:39:46,438 --> 00:39:48,471
what it's like to relinquish all anonymity.

711
00:39:52,977 --> 00:39:54,443
Gets me a date.

712
00:39:54,445 --> 00:39:56,845
Does that bother you?

713
00:39:56,847 --> 00:39:59,848
That people only wanna be with
you because of who you are?

714
00:39:59,850 --> 00:40:01,082
As opposed to?

715
00:40:01,084 --> 00:40:03,117
Well...

716
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:05,018
The real you.

717
00:40:06,554 --> 00:40:08,120
The real me.

718
00:40:10,157 --> 00:40:12,390
The real me...

719
00:40:12,392 --> 00:40:15,393
Was brought up
as a nice, middle-class kid

720
00:40:15,395 --> 00:40:17,495
which is not the easiest thing in the world

721
00:40:17,497 --> 00:40:21,465
when you are extremely poor
and living in a slum.

722
00:40:21,467 --> 00:40:24,468
The real me spent most of his time

723
00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:26,570
getting the shit kicked out of him...

724
00:40:26,572 --> 00:40:29,005
And dreaming about something better.

725
00:40:31,175 --> 00:40:33,742
Like being here with someone like you.

726
00:40:34,911 --> 00:40:36,477
Fifteen years ago,

727
00:40:36,479 --> 00:40:38,979
he had, for one brief moment,

728
00:40:38,981 --> 00:40:42,148
made me feel like the most
special person in the world.

729
00:40:42,150 --> 00:40:46,819
The miracle in my life
is not that I survived polio

730
00:40:46,821 --> 00:40:48,887
and am standing here today.

731
00:40:48,889 --> 00:40:53,091
No. The reason I consider myself
to be a miracle girl

732
00:40:53,093 --> 00:40:54,992
is because I had the good fortune

733
00:40:54,994 --> 00:40:57,194
to meet Lanny and Vince when I was sick.

734
00:40:57,196 --> 00:41:01,665
It was a moment seen by millions of people,

735
00:41:01,667 --> 00:41:05,435
but felt only by me.

736
00:41:09,507 --> 00:41:13,442
That moment had changed my life.

737
00:41:16,213 --> 00:41:20,582
I was about to find
my own way into Lanny's book

738
00:41:20,584 --> 00:41:25,219
after he had found
such a powerful way into mine.

739
00:42:39,759 --> 00:42:41,158
Checking out today.

740
00:42:58,541 --> 00:43:00,274
Is there a message for Bonnie trout?

741
00:43:00,276 --> 00:43:01,675
From one of our guests?

742
00:43:01,677 --> 00:43:02,876
Yes, Lanny Morris.

743
00:43:06,014 --> 00:43:07,313
I'm afraid not.

744
00:43:07,315 --> 00:43:08,947
Are you sure?

745
00:43:08,949 --> 00:43:11,749
Yes, I'm sure.

746
00:43:15,688 --> 00:43:17,054
Do you need a cab?

747
00:43:22,327 --> 00:43:26,228
I still don't understand
why Vince Collins is willing

748
00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:29,965
to be involved in such an exposé of himself.

749
00:43:29,967 --> 00:43:31,967
Vince is a realist.

750
00:43:31,969 --> 00:43:34,836
The days of his box-office power
are drawing to a close.

751
00:43:34,838 --> 00:43:37,038
Given the amount of money we're offering...

752
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,976
and it's because the investment
in Mr. Collins is so large,

753
00:43:41,978 --> 00:43:43,911
I've compiled a list of questions

754
00:43:43,913 --> 00:43:46,947
we'd like the miracle girl to ask.

755
00:43:53,922 --> 00:43:57,690
I don't wanna look at your questions.
I have my own approach.

756
00:43:57,692 --> 00:44:01,126
Miss o'Connor, we're not paying a
million dollars for your approach,

757
00:44:01,128 --> 00:44:03,828
we're paying for what
Vince Collins has to say.

758
00:44:03,830 --> 00:44:06,664
To me.
What he has to say to me.

759
00:44:06,666 --> 00:44:08,365
Greg,

760
00:44:08,367 --> 00:44:10,133
this is not as easy as it looks.

761
00:44:10,135 --> 00:44:11,734
If you go to Vince Collins

762
00:44:11,736 --> 00:44:13,669
and ask him a series of questions,

763
00:44:13,671 --> 00:44:15,971
you'll come back here
with a 300-page press book.

764
00:44:15,973 --> 00:44:19,274
Well, as I've always understood
this company's policy,

765
00:44:19,276 --> 00:44:21,609
while the book is being written,
the relationship

766
00:44:21,611 --> 00:44:27,147
between the author and editor is sacrosanct.

767
00:44:27,149 --> 00:44:29,249
This isn't your typical book deal.

768
00:44:29,251 --> 00:44:33,753
We've really just leased
an oil well called Vince Collins

769
00:44:33,755 --> 00:44:37,256
and granted miss o'Connor the right to tap.

770
00:44:37,258 --> 00:44:39,157
I think we have a responsibility

771
00:44:39,159 --> 00:44:41,325
to...

772
00:44:41,327 --> 00:44:43,694
Monitor the drilling.

773
00:45:06,649 --> 00:45:07,748
Hello.

774
00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:09,349
Mrs. o'Flaherty?

775
00:45:09,351 --> 00:45:10,883
Yes.

776
00:45:10,885 --> 00:45:12,918
My name's o'Connor.

777
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,253
I'm the one writing the book.

778
00:45:28,300 --> 00:45:31,834
The book will be centered
around Vince Collins.

779
00:45:31,836 --> 00:45:34,870
I'll be asking him a lot of questions.

780
00:45:34,872 --> 00:45:37,072
I wanted to know if there were any

781
00:45:37,074 --> 00:45:39,174
you'd like to have answered yourself.

782
00:45:43,914 --> 00:45:48,315
Maureen and I planted this tree
on her fifth birthday.

783
00:45:49,818 --> 00:45:53,185
Father did most of the digging, of course.

784
00:45:54,221 --> 00:45:57,255
She'd be 38.

785
00:45:57,257 --> 00:46:00,458
I'm 59, myself.

786
00:46:02,728 --> 00:46:06,696
If she were alive now...

787
00:46:06,698 --> 00:46:10,299
We'd be talking about things,
back and forth,

788
00:46:10,301 --> 00:46:12,901
like two women.

789
00:46:12,903 --> 00:46:15,169
Like you and I are doing.

790
00:46:20,876 --> 00:46:24,043
And Maureen's father?

791
00:46:24,045 --> 00:46:27,179
Frank died six years ago.

792
00:46:27,181 --> 00:46:29,948
He took his own life.

793
00:46:29,950 --> 00:46:33,184
One night, just before he died,

794
00:46:33,186 --> 00:46:36,887
he dug up the earth around this tree.

795
00:46:36,889 --> 00:46:39,956
He took the urn with Maureen's ashes in it

796
00:46:39,958 --> 00:46:42,491
and spread them around its roots.

797
00:46:44,394 --> 00:46:48,228
So this... Is my daughter.

798
00:46:49,931 --> 00:46:53,365
This is what I have of her.

799
00:46:58,805 --> 00:47:00,371
Are you catholic?

800
00:47:00,373 --> 00:47:02,272
My... my mother was.

801
00:47:02,274 --> 00:47:05,508
Then you will understand my dilemma.

802
00:47:05,510 --> 00:47:09,344
Our faith offers an afterlife.

803
00:47:10,447 --> 00:47:14,048
A daughter needs her mother.

804
00:47:14,050 --> 00:47:16,950
So I have to live out this life

805
00:47:16,952 --> 00:47:20,186
as far from sin as I can manage.

806
00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:26,224
I'll never see my husband again.

807
00:47:26,226 --> 00:47:28,593
He's consigned himself to hell.

808
00:47:31,097 --> 00:47:34,497
But what if Maureen killed herself too?

809
00:47:38,202 --> 00:47:41,102
She's in hell with my husband.

810
00:47:41,104 --> 00:47:45,339
The life I'm trying to lead
will bring me to heaven's grace

811
00:47:45,341 --> 00:47:49,543
only to hear their screams of torment.

812
00:47:51,213 --> 00:47:53,546
Chief scaglia, you were in the hotel room

813
00:47:53,548 --> 00:47:55,381
when they found Maureen's body in the tub.

814
00:47:56,984 --> 00:48:02,520
So was Sally, so was Lanny, so was Vince.

815
00:48:02,522 --> 00:48:07,190
And there was also a PR lady
there from the hotel.

816
00:48:07,192 --> 00:48:08,958
How do you think she died?

817
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,226
She died in an auto accident
two weeks later.

818
00:48:11,228 --> 00:48:12,493
It was terrible.

819
00:48:15,998 --> 00:48:17,330
No, Maureen.

820
00:48:17,332 --> 00:48:18,531
H-how did Maureen die?

821
00:48:18,533 --> 00:48:20,165
She drowned.

822
00:48:20,167 --> 00:48:22,400
- Why?
- What do you mean, why?

823
00:48:22,402 --> 00:48:25,236
Well, you and I take baths all the time.
We don't drown in them.

824
00:48:25,238 --> 00:48:28,138
You and I do not mix
sleeping pills with booze.

825
00:48:28,140 --> 00:48:29,205
She committed suicide.

826
00:48:29,207 --> 00:48:32,241
Overdose is the official story.

827
00:48:32,243 --> 00:48:33,909
What's the official story on the fact

828
00:48:33,911 --> 00:48:35,343
that the staff of the hotel in Miami

829
00:48:35,345 --> 00:48:37,311
all seemed to know
she delivered room service

830
00:48:37,313 --> 00:48:40,180
to the boys' suite three days before,

831
00:48:40,182 --> 00:48:41,581
and was never seen alive again?

832
00:48:41,583 --> 00:48:43,249
What happened to her?

833
00:48:43,251 --> 00:48:45,951
How did she end up
in a hotel room in New Jersey?

834
00:48:45,953 --> 00:48:49,988
Sally never had any problem
moving girls around, okay?

835
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,457
- He had two hotels.
- So Sally arranged it?

836
00:48:52,459 --> 00:48:56,527
No, I don't think so. You see, she was
brought up there as a reward for the boys,

837
00:48:56,529 --> 00:48:59,429
and I think she started a party
just a little too early.

838
00:48:59,431 --> 00:49:02,198
She was a student.
This was a summer job.

839
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,532
Listen to me.

840
00:49:03,534 --> 00:49:06,001
The palace del sol

841
00:49:06,003 --> 00:49:10,005
was very important to Sally, okay?

842
00:49:10,007 --> 00:49:13,375
He launched his new wing

843
00:49:13,377 --> 00:49:16,978
with a push from Lanny and Vince.

844
00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:19,180
And this... this...

845
00:49:19,182 --> 00:49:22,583
Stupid girl shows up dead.

846
00:49:22,585 --> 00:49:25,018
She's not gonna come back.

847
00:49:25,020 --> 00:49:27,453
We do the best thing for all of us.

848
00:49:27,455 --> 00:49:32,257
We speed up the investigation,
and we cremate her. Okay?

849
00:49:32,259 --> 00:49:34,425
End of story.

850
00:49:36,695 --> 00:49:38,261
Here you are.

851
00:49:38,263 --> 00:49:41,097
Here's your lobster.
<i>Bon appétit.</i>

852
00:49:41,099 --> 00:49:42,498
Enjoy.

853
00:49:42,500 --> 00:49:45,334
Looks great.

854
00:49:45,336 --> 00:49:47,269
"And Sally said, 'I'll have them send you up

855
00:49:47,271 --> 00:49:48,637
"'your own shipment of lobsters.

856
00:49:48,639 --> 00:49:52,040
You like lobster?'"

857
00:49:52,042 --> 00:49:56,077
We said we did because we really did.

858
00:49:56,079 --> 00:49:59,146
You shouldn't have done that,
Stanley. I don't eat lobster.

859
00:50:01,984 --> 00:50:04,417
Were there any signs
of violence on her body?

860
00:50:04,419 --> 00:50:06,318
No, no. There were some,

861
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,720
small scratches on the torso.

862
00:50:10,390 --> 00:50:13,491
Why did my daughter die?

863
00:50:13,493 --> 00:50:17,061
Did she kill herself?

864
00:50:17,063 --> 00:50:20,530
What had they done to her
that would make her do that?

865
00:50:23,201 --> 00:50:25,401
What had they done?

866
00:50:30,341 --> 00:50:32,708
Once upon a time,

867
00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:36,611
when terrible things happened to people,

868
00:50:36,613 --> 00:50:39,280
they were left as a mystery.

869
00:50:41,384 --> 00:50:44,618
Even the tabloids kept a distance.

870
00:50:50,092 --> 00:50:53,493
Some things were allowed to be left

871
00:50:53,495 --> 00:50:55,761
just the way they were.

872
00:51:04,571 --> 00:51:06,604
Any trouble with the directions I gave you?

873
00:51:06,606 --> 00:51:08,439
Only the parts where I had to turn.

874
00:51:08,441 --> 00:51:11,074
Sorry.

875
00:51:11,076 --> 00:51:13,409
It's the price of seclusion.

876
00:51:18,449 --> 00:51:20,549
You haven't switched over to cassette?

877
00:51:20,551 --> 00:51:22,617
Actually, it's my dad's.

878
00:51:22,619 --> 00:51:24,251
And what does he do?

879
00:51:25,787 --> 00:51:28,120
He was a journalist too.

880
00:51:29,156 --> 00:51:31,589
He did a big story on you once.

881
00:51:31,591 --> 00:51:34,592
Followed a little girl who had polio.

882
00:51:34,594 --> 00:51:36,827
You took her under your wing...

883
00:51:38,130 --> 00:51:40,463
And now she's interviewing you.

884
00:51:43,734 --> 00:51:47,335
Your father must be very proud that his
daughter's making such a name for herself.

885
00:51:47,337 --> 00:51:49,770
I'd like to think so.

886
00:51:51,106 --> 00:51:52,772
He died last year.

887
00:51:52,774 --> 00:51:54,607
Sorry to hear that.

888
00:51:56,277 --> 00:51:57,676
Would you like some coffee?

889
00:51:57,678 --> 00:51:59,811
Sure.

890
00:52:06,852 --> 00:52:09,118
Are you alone here?

891
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,420
Yes. The thought
of having live-in help

892
00:52:11,422 --> 00:52:13,288
is a little poisonous to me.

893
00:52:13,290 --> 00:52:14,789
Why's that?

894
00:52:14,791 --> 00:52:16,857
Well, I'd have to talk to them.

895
00:52:16,859 --> 00:52:19,559
Ask them how their family was doing.

896
00:52:19,561 --> 00:52:22,428
Hear about this and that,
introduce them to the guests

897
00:52:22,430 --> 00:52:25,330
and tell them how their family was doing.

898
00:52:25,332 --> 00:52:29,233
All so that I would seem to be a nice guy,

899
00:52:29,235 --> 00:52:30,667
which is an awful lot of work

900
00:52:30,669 --> 00:52:33,603
considering what I cherish
most in life these days

901
00:52:33,605 --> 00:52:35,838
is not to have to be Vince Collins.

902
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,273
No Reuben in your life?

903
00:52:38,275 --> 00:52:40,808
How do you know about Reuben?

904
00:52:40,810 --> 00:52:44,545
He was in a lot of the material
I've been looking at.

905
00:52:44,547 --> 00:52:46,446
No, I never had a Reuben.

906
00:52:46,448 --> 00:52:47,814
Lanny always paid him directly.

907
00:52:47,816 --> 00:52:48,881
He was Lanny's man.

908
00:52:48,883 --> 00:52:50,482
Right.

909
00:52:52,786 --> 00:52:55,386
You know, what I like is to...

910
00:52:55,388 --> 00:52:57,187
Read...

911
00:52:57,189 --> 00:52:59,455
Think.

912
00:52:59,457 --> 00:53:01,757
It's to have the freedom to...

913
00:53:01,759 --> 00:53:04,526
Get up and leave without
telling anyone about it.

914
00:53:04,528 --> 00:53:06,461
Any time of day.

915
00:53:08,465 --> 00:53:10,731
Or even having to say goodbye.

916
00:53:12,835 --> 00:53:14,601
To be backstage,

917
00:53:14,603 --> 00:53:17,203
surrounded by acrobats, actors, magicians,

918
00:53:17,205 --> 00:53:19,271
it was...
it was intoxicating.

919
00:53:19,273 --> 00:53:21,306
You know, I was
only 12-years-old.

920
00:53:21,308 --> 00:53:23,174
That's a...

921
00:53:23,176 --> 00:53:24,708
That's a pretty impressionable age.

922
00:53:24,710 --> 00:53:26,509
To hear all these stories of touring...

923
00:53:26,511 --> 00:53:29,445
My father always told me
that nothing had meaning

924
00:53:29,447 --> 00:53:31,680
unless it could be put on the record.

925
00:53:31,682 --> 00:53:33,148
I also like the idea...

926
00:53:33,150 --> 00:53:35,283
Yet, things had changed.

927
00:53:35,285 --> 00:53:38,519
As Vince had pointed out
at our first meeting,

928
00:53:38,521 --> 00:53:43,457
it had become fashionable
to put yourself into the story.

929
00:53:43,459 --> 00:53:46,859
The question became how far
you were prepared to go.

930
00:54:10,249 --> 00:54:12,515
Excuse me.
That's not mine.

931
00:54:12,517 --> 00:54:14,549
I'm sorry.

932
00:54:17,420 --> 00:54:19,753
Aren't you miss trout?

933
00:54:19,755 --> 00:54:22,856
We've met, on the plane to New York.

934
00:54:22,858 --> 00:54:24,424
- Reuben.
- Excuse me, sir.

935
00:54:24,426 --> 00:54:26,793
Can I leave you for just a second, please?

936
00:54:30,532 --> 00:54:33,466
I'm so deeply sorry, miss trout,
the way you were treated.

937
00:54:33,468 --> 00:54:35,601
He could have left a note.

938
00:54:35,603 --> 00:54:37,436
Of course.

939
00:54:39,406 --> 00:54:43,307
Miss trout, I would like you
to understand something.

940
00:54:43,309 --> 00:54:45,676
I have a great loyalty
to Mr. Morris.

941
00:54:45,678 --> 00:54:48,245
He's treated me very well.

942
00:54:48,247 --> 00:54:51,314
I'm very grateful.

943
00:54:51,316 --> 00:54:54,517
He has done wonderful things
for many people,

944
00:54:54,519 --> 00:54:56,452
and I have been...

945
00:54:56,454 --> 00:54:59,521
Privileged to work for him.

946
00:55:00,957 --> 00:55:03,557
But I do have certain principles,

947
00:55:03,559 --> 00:55:08,295
especially about how women are
to be treated and respected.

948
00:55:08,297 --> 00:55:11,298
Mr. Morris can be
very attentive,

949
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:13,433
but once he has a woman...

950
00:55:14,702 --> 00:55:17,568
God, I think it's almost a sickness.

951
00:55:19,572 --> 00:55:21,572
When he left you that morning,

952
00:55:21,574 --> 00:55:24,408
you may have felt bad,
but believe me, miss trout,

953
00:55:24,410 --> 00:55:26,476
to have him out of your life

954
00:55:26,478 --> 00:55:30,379
is the best thing that
could have happened to you.

955
00:55:30,381 --> 00:55:33,848
At that point, you may have felt
your life was wounded.

956
00:55:35,451 --> 00:55:38,018
It wasn't.

957
00:55:38,020 --> 00:55:39,519
It was saved.

958
00:55:48,363 --> 00:55:50,996
Vince, I was very clear
about this from the beginning.

959
00:55:50,998 --> 00:55:52,897
I'm not out to play games with you.

960
00:55:52,899 --> 00:55:55,532
This is why you're being paid
such a huge amount of money.

961
00:55:55,534 --> 00:55:58,434
This isn't entirely about money, you know.

962
00:55:58,436 --> 00:56:02,104
A million dollars is more than
the gross of your last film.

963
00:56:02,106 --> 00:56:04,106
You know, I was somehow under the impression

964
00:56:04,108 --> 00:56:05,707
that my entire life might have been

965
00:56:05,709 --> 00:56:07,842
of more than passing interest.

966
00:56:07,844 --> 00:56:10,711
But if my fleeting encounter with
a girl named Maureen o'Flaherty

967
00:56:10,713 --> 00:56:12,546
is all you really want to talk about,

968
00:56:12,548 --> 00:56:15,582
then that's what we'll do.

969
00:56:15,584 --> 00:56:17,984
I have to make an appearance
at the clinic tomorrow.

970
00:56:17,986 --> 00:56:20,119
We can come back and talk after that.

971
00:56:21,122 --> 00:56:22,855
It's wonderland.

972
00:56:22,857 --> 00:56:24,857
I imagine you might remember that.

973
00:56:38,437 --> 00:56:40,670
He was right.

974
00:56:40,672 --> 00:56:43,873
I did remember wonderland.

975
00:56:43,875 --> 00:56:45,841
- You ready?
- Ready.

976
00:56:45,843 --> 00:56:47,509
When I was a girl,

977
00:56:47,511 --> 00:56:50,744
the entire hospital was devoted
to children with polio.

978
00:56:52,614 --> 00:56:54,680
Since that time...

979
00:56:54,682 --> 00:56:56,148
It had become a clinic for kids

980
00:56:56,150 --> 00:56:59,784
with a variety of different
physical handicaps.

981
00:57:02,588 --> 00:57:04,154
Once a year,

982
00:57:04,156 --> 00:57:06,589
the children would put on a pageant,

983
00:57:06,591 --> 00:57:09,491
playing different characters
from<i> Alice in wonderland.</i>

984
00:57:10,861 --> 00:57:13,628
Vince, in his continuing
support of the hospital,

985
00:57:13,630 --> 00:57:15,429
had hired a band and a singer.

986
00:57:23,772 --> 00:57:25,505
Who is that?

987
00:57:25,507 --> 00:57:27,073
I don't know.

988
00:57:27,075 --> 00:57:30,509
She's good, whoever she is.

989
00:57:39,786 --> 00:57:44,087
Karen, do you mind if we start
this conversation tomorrow?

990
00:57:44,089 --> 00:57:45,855
I'm just...

991
00:57:45,857 --> 00:57:48,224
I'm not feeling all that well...

992
00:57:48,226 --> 00:57:50,125
- Vince...
- In fact, it won't make

993
00:57:50,127 --> 00:57:52,660
any difference over there.
The office will be closed.

994
00:57:52,662 --> 00:57:54,061
They've been working late.

995
00:57:54,063 --> 00:57:55,929
Then they've been working much too hard.

996
00:57:57,465 --> 00:57:59,998
First thing tomorrow.
First thing.

997
00:58:06,906 --> 00:58:09,139
I hope your editors were reasonable.

998
00:58:09,141 --> 00:58:11,174
Reasonable?

999
00:58:11,176 --> 00:58:12,775
No, they weren't.

1000
00:58:12,777 --> 00:58:14,977
We can go as late as you like.

1001
00:58:14,979 --> 00:58:18,213
That's good. It might
take us into the evening.

1002
00:58:18,215 --> 00:58:20,648
I had a feeling that might be the case.

1003
00:58:20,650 --> 00:58:23,550
So I've ordered a hot and cold
smorgasbord to be brought in.

1004
00:58:23,552 --> 00:58:25,084
Can work through dinner if you like.

1005
00:58:25,086 --> 00:58:26,218
We'll be having company?

1006
00:58:26,220 --> 00:58:27,252
Yes.

1007
00:58:28,822 --> 00:58:30,555
I have...

1008
00:58:30,557 --> 00:58:33,224
A surprise for you.

1009
00:58:33,226 --> 00:58:35,859
Actually, this is a fairly
big deal for me as well.

1010
00:58:37,095 --> 00:58:39,028
I've asked Lanny to join us today.

1011
00:58:40,831 --> 00:58:41,930
Lanny?

1012
00:58:43,166 --> 00:58:45,166
Well, this is something.

1013
00:58:45,168 --> 00:58:47,601
Neuman and newberry

1014
00:58:47,603 --> 00:58:49,836
will certainly be getting
their money's worth.

1015
00:58:49,838 --> 00:58:52,238
I thought that if I was going
to discuss something

1016
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,240
that had such an impact on our lives,

1017
00:58:54,242 --> 00:58:57,710
it would be fair for Lanny
to hear what I had to say...

1018
00:58:57,712 --> 00:58:59,578
Given that we've never talked about it.

1019
00:58:59,580 --> 00:59:00,979
I'm sure I'll have lots to ask him.

1020
00:59:00,981 --> 00:59:02,513
When is he coming?

1021
00:59:02,515 --> 00:59:04,915
He should be here any minute now.

1022
00:59:04,917 --> 00:59:07,183
This is very exciting.

1023
00:59:07,185 --> 00:59:08,851
Shit.

1024
00:59:23,799 --> 00:59:26,266
- Yes?
- Bonnie, I have to talk fast.

1025
00:59:26,268 --> 00:59:27,900
I need you to do exactly as I tell you,

1026
00:59:27,902 --> 00:59:29,568
and I can't tell you why, okay?

1027
00:59:29,570 --> 00:59:30,869
Sure.

1028
00:59:30,871 --> 00:59:32,136
Excuse me,

1029
00:59:32,138 --> 00:59:33,670
that might actually be him now.

1030
00:59:34,873 --> 00:59:36,138
Yes, hello?

1031
00:59:48,250 --> 00:59:49,716
Yes, thank you.

1032
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,752
That was my office.

1033
00:59:53,754 --> 00:59:56,321
There's a woman.
A friend or relative of yours?

1034
00:59:56,323 --> 00:59:58,956
She said she called
on a number you gave her.

1035
00:59:58,958 --> 01:00:00,891
She's gonna call back.

1036
01:00:07,899 --> 01:00:08,998
Yes?

1037
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,199
Hi, kiddo.

1038
01:00:10,201 --> 01:00:11,934
Now, listen, your brother, Clifford,

1039
01:00:11,936 --> 01:00:13,702
has just been rushed to the hospital.

1040
01:00:13,704 --> 01:00:15,603
He was doing construction when a thing...

1041
01:00:15,605 --> 01:00:17,171
- a steel girder?
- That's it.

1042
01:00:17,173 --> 01:00:18,839
So you better come back to the city

1043
01:00:18,841 --> 01:00:20,173
and make your peace with him.

1044
01:00:20,175 --> 01:00:22,642
I booked you on the next
flight to San Francisco.

1045
01:00:22,644 --> 01:00:25,144
I'm waiting here for you
in front of the terminal.

1046
01:00:25,146 --> 01:00:26,745
They've already reserved me a seat

1047
01:00:26,747 --> 01:00:28,147
on the next flight to San Francisco.

1048
01:00:28,148 --> 01:00:29,680
- I'll drive you there.
- No, no.

1049
01:00:29,682 --> 01:00:31,181
Sharon is waiting at the airport for me.

1050
01:00:31,183 --> 01:00:32,682
You can't stand Lanny up.

1051
01:00:32,684 --> 01:00:35,051
Please give him my deepest apologies.

1052
01:00:43,860 --> 01:00:45,092
Hey.

1053
01:00:45,094 --> 01:00:48,095
- Please, I can explain.
- Hey!

1054
01:00:48,097 --> 01:00:50,664
You've broken the law, Bonnie fucking trout.

1055
01:00:50,666 --> 01:00:53,099
You've assumed another person's
identity for the purposes

1056
01:00:53,101 --> 01:00:55,334
of getting information
from a business competitor.

1057
01:00:55,336 --> 01:00:58,070
Obviously I lied about
who I was. I'm sorry.

1058
01:00:58,072 --> 01:01:00,372
It was a huge untruth.
It wasn't planned.

1059
01:01:00,374 --> 01:01:03,308
I was just freaked out about suddenly being

1060
01:01:03,310 --> 01:01:05,910
on the plane with...

1061
01:01:05,912 --> 01:01:07,745
With you, and...

1062
01:01:07,747 --> 01:01:10,080
And how did you manage to get
the seat behind me on the plane?

1063
01:01:10,082 --> 01:01:11,915
- It was pure coincidence.
- Bullshit.

1064
01:01:11,917 --> 01:01:13,082
It's true.

1065
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:18,386
How could you...?

1066
01:01:18,388 --> 01:01:21,655
How could you have just
left me at the hotel like that?

1067
01:01:21,657 --> 01:01:24,124
You were asleep.
Reuben woke me

1068
01:01:24,126 --> 01:01:26,292
to say I had to be a substitute performer

1069
01:01:26,294 --> 01:01:28,661
at a charity concert at the Hollywood bowl.

1070
01:01:28,663 --> 01:01:30,396
I had to get the first flight out.

1071
01:01:30,398 --> 01:01:32,398
You could have left me a note or called me.

1072
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:33,632
I did leave you a note.

1073
01:01:33,634 --> 01:01:34,733
Where?

1074
01:01:36,369 --> 01:01:38,969
I don't know why we're
even talking about this.

1075
01:01:38,971 --> 01:01:40,170
I don't like you.

1076
01:01:40,172 --> 01:01:41,304
All right?

1077
01:01:41,306 --> 01:01:43,239
I wish we had never met.

1078
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,180
Hello, Vince.

1079
01:01:51,182 --> 01:01:52,881
What the fuck's going on?

1080
01:01:54,751 --> 01:01:57,651
Vince, a few days after we first met,

1081
01:01:57,653 --> 01:02:00,687
I found myself next to Lanny
on a flight to New York.

1082
01:02:00,689 --> 01:02:02,321
It was... it was
a complete coincidence.

1083
01:02:02,323 --> 01:02:03,955
- He asked my name...
- And she lied.

1084
01:02:03,957 --> 01:02:05,890
I had just finished reading
the first chapter

1085
01:02:05,892 --> 01:02:07,157
of Lanny's own biography.

1086
01:02:07,159 --> 01:02:08,992
His lawyers had let me see it

1087
01:02:08,994 --> 01:02:11,294
in the hope of discouraging our own project.

1088
01:02:11,296 --> 01:02:13,863
As a reflex, since I knew
he would view me as the enemy,

1089
01:02:13,865 --> 01:02:15,331
I gave him the name of a friend

1090
01:02:15,333 --> 01:02:17,700
whose apartment I was going
to stay at in Manhattan.

1091
01:02:17,702 --> 01:02:19,234
I thought I simply had to get

1092
01:02:19,236 --> 01:02:21,436
through the awkwardness
of the flight itself,

1093
01:02:21,438 --> 01:02:22,770
but the trouble is...

1094
01:02:22,772 --> 01:02:23,871
you slept with him.

1095
01:02:25,708 --> 01:02:27,808
- Vince...
- You slept...

1096
01:02:27,810 --> 01:02:29,276
With my ex-partner.

1097
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:31,844
Technically.

1098
01:02:33,747 --> 01:02:36,948
Doesn't sound like things
were particularly technical.

1099
01:02:58,171 --> 01:03:00,938
Now, you listen to me, sweetheart.

1100
01:03:00,940 --> 01:03:05,042
Vince doesn't always do
what's best for Vince.

1101
01:03:05,044 --> 01:03:08,145
That's why he needed me here today.

1102
01:03:08,147 --> 01:03:12,749
The story of this girl is the
most painful thing in his life.

1103
01:03:12,751 --> 01:03:14,417
What happened to her, Lanny?

1104
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,787
Well, you're not gonna find out.

1105
01:03:18,789 --> 01:03:20,989
Not now.

1106
01:03:20,991 --> 01:03:23,257
Not after what you've done to him.

1107
01:03:32,368 --> 01:03:34,301
Vince!

1108
01:03:34,303 --> 01:03:35,902
Shit.

1109
01:03:37,472 --> 01:03:39,839
Vince...

1110
01:03:39,841 --> 01:03:42,041
I made a terrible mistake in New York.

1111
01:03:42,043 --> 01:03:45,477
I... I apologize to you more
than I know how to say.

1112
01:03:45,479 --> 01:03:47,178
I'm so sorry.

1113
01:03:57,523 --> 01:03:59,256
Vince...

1114
01:03:59,258 --> 01:04:01,124
The realization of your life's story

1115
01:04:01,126 --> 01:04:03,926
shouldn't be threatened
because of my failings.

1116
01:04:05,996 --> 01:04:09,964
Please, let me continue
to work with you again.

1117
01:04:09,966 --> 01:04:12,298
I'll help you tell your story right.

1118
01:04:14,902 --> 01:04:17,069
Come back tonight.

1119
01:04:19,006 --> 01:04:20,905
Let me think about it.

1120
01:04:32,949 --> 01:04:34,214
How do you like the wine?

1121
01:04:34,216 --> 01:04:37,317
It's magnificent.
What is it?

1122
01:04:37,319 --> 01:04:40,453
1961 haut-brion.

1123
01:04:40,455 --> 01:04:45,991
People make a big deal of 1959, but I don't
think there'll be a year as special as 1961.

1124
01:04:45,993 --> 01:04:48,626
It was a great year for French wines.

1125
01:04:52,098 --> 01:04:54,298
Will you join me?

1126
01:04:54,300 --> 01:04:55,666
What are they?

1127
01:04:57,002 --> 01:04:58,434
They're like...

1128
01:04:58,436 --> 01:05:01,270
Very mild-mannered
quaaludes.

1129
01:05:01,272 --> 01:05:05,107
Must have done a few of those
in your time, right?

1130
01:05:05,109 --> 01:05:06,675
Are you sure they're okay with alcohol?

1131
01:05:06,677 --> 01:05:08,510
They're even better with alcohol.

1132
01:05:08,512 --> 01:05:09,644
Believe me, I'd know.

1133
01:05:16,652 --> 01:05:19,653
Come on in, honey.
The water's fine.

1134
01:05:19,655 --> 01:05:21,521
All my life,

1135
01:05:21,523 --> 01:05:25,224
I've had this idea that I could
always be in control.

1136
01:05:25,226 --> 01:05:27,326
Ever since I was sick, I had this sense

1137
01:05:27,328 --> 01:05:31,096
that I could make my body
do anything I wanted.

1138
01:05:31,098 --> 01:05:36,134
If I could will my polio away, I'd certainly
be able to will away the effect of any drug.

1139
01:05:49,948 --> 01:05:52,014
Do you mind if I close the drapes?

1140
01:05:52,016 --> 01:05:53,448
The sun's in my eyes.

1141
01:05:55,251 --> 01:05:57,150
It's moonlight.

1142
01:05:58,486 --> 01:06:00,152
Go ahead.

1143
01:07:02,072 --> 01:07:04,605
I remember you.

1144
01:07:04,607 --> 01:07:07,174
You're Alice...

1145
01:07:07,176 --> 01:07:08,341
In wonderland.

1146
01:07:09,777 --> 01:07:12,277
I don't know.

1147
01:07:12,279 --> 01:07:14,646
I'm really stoned out of my head already.

1148
01:07:16,082 --> 01:07:17,347
Is it good?

1149
01:07:23,153 --> 01:07:24,685
Jesus, Vince.

1150
01:07:24,687 --> 01:07:27,387
It's like monster grass.

1151
01:07:27,389 --> 01:07:29,756
Do you get this stuff all the time?

1152
01:07:29,758 --> 01:07:31,257
All the time.

1153
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:42,332
You're Alice.

1154
01:07:46,504 --> 01:07:48,270
You're so beautiful.

1155
01:08:17,234 --> 01:08:19,701
She's ours.

1156
01:08:19,703 --> 01:08:21,502
Isn't that so, Alice?

1157
01:08:23,305 --> 01:08:25,237
I'm yours.

1158
01:09:05,579 --> 01:09:07,245
I had always been fascinated

1159
01:09:07,247 --> 01:09:08,846
by how some women could cross the line

1160
01:09:08,848 --> 01:09:10,447
between who they were

1161
01:09:10,449 --> 01:09:14,184
and who they would let themselves become.

1162
01:09:14,186 --> 01:09:16,452
Maureen...

1163
01:09:16,454 --> 01:09:18,854
Alice...

1164
01:09:18,856 --> 01:09:20,689
And now...

1165
01:09:20,691 --> 01:09:22,157
Me.

1166
01:09:28,431 --> 01:09:29,630
Morning.

1167
01:09:29,632 --> 01:09:31,898
That was not a quaalude you gave me.

1168
01:09:31,900 --> 01:09:33,466
I've had quaaludes.

1169
01:09:34,869 --> 01:09:36,435
I said it was like a quaalude.

1170
01:09:36,437 --> 01:09:37,903
And you didn't take one yourself.

1171
01:09:37,905 --> 01:09:39,537
You palmed the pill.

1172
01:09:39,539 --> 01:09:42,172
Somebody had to drive.

1173
01:09:42,174 --> 01:09:44,307
Don't worry, you won't get pregnant.

1174
01:09:44,309 --> 01:09:46,142
Not from Alice and certainly not from me.

1175
01:09:46,144 --> 01:09:48,711
I never took off my pants,
as you may or may not remember.

1176
01:09:48,713 --> 01:09:50,646
There are laws against drugging people.

1177
01:09:50,648 --> 01:09:52,714
Please.
You took it voluntarily.

1178
01:09:52,716 --> 01:09:55,783
Nobody slipped it into your drink.

1179
01:09:55,785 --> 01:09:59,486
And you chased it with one of the
most expensive wines in the world.

1180
01:09:59,488 --> 01:10:01,187
I think you're just in a dither

1181
01:10:01,189 --> 01:10:03,389
because you've discovered
you can swing both ways.

1182
01:10:05,359 --> 01:10:09,861
You see... I needed
to get something on you.

1183
01:10:09,863 --> 01:10:12,263
Of course, your behavior
with Lanny might have been

1184
01:10:12,265 --> 01:10:13,897
even better than this, but...

1185
01:10:13,899 --> 01:10:15,932
Well, I'd already set the wheels in motion.

1186
01:10:15,934 --> 01:10:18,634
And as I was dying to see you
and Alice get it on...

1187
01:10:20,471 --> 01:10:22,504
Well, these are just a sample.

1188
01:10:30,245 --> 01:10:33,279
Why would she agree to do this?
Doesn't she want a career?

1189
01:10:33,281 --> 01:10:35,948
Well, it's your career I'm worried about.

1190
01:10:35,950 --> 01:10:38,750
You're a journalist
playing loose with the rules.

1191
01:10:38,752 --> 01:10:41,519
She's just a vulnerable
young singer you seduced.

1192
01:10:41,521 --> 01:10:44,855
A promising...
good heavens...

1193
01:10:44,857 --> 01:10:47,791
Promising artist that I happen to manage.

1194
01:10:47,793 --> 01:10:49,759
You met her through me...

1195
01:10:49,761 --> 01:10:51,627
And had your way with her.

1196
01:10:56,499 --> 01:10:58,265
What do you want from me?

1197
01:11:00,969 --> 01:11:03,602
You're going to continue writing the book.

1198
01:11:03,604 --> 01:11:05,904
I'm going to continue
telling you juicy stories,

1199
01:11:05,906 --> 01:11:07,605
funny stories,

1200
01:11:07,607 --> 01:11:09,940
heart-tugging stories.

1201
01:11:09,942 --> 01:11:12,208
And you're not gonna ask me
a single question

1202
01:11:12,210 --> 01:11:15,711
about what happened
to the girl in New Jersey.

1203
01:11:15,713 --> 01:11:17,446
You're going to go to your publisher,

1204
01:11:17,448 --> 01:11:18,847
say you tried every angle,

1205
01:11:18,849 --> 01:11:20,849
but you could find nothing odd or suspicious

1206
01:11:20,851 --> 01:11:21,983
in what I told you.

1207
01:11:28,758 --> 01:11:31,592
I'll even...
Try to spice it up a little.

1208
01:11:31,594 --> 01:11:34,928
Talk about how the night before the
telethon, I wanted to sleep like a babe,

1209
01:11:34,930 --> 01:11:38,364
so to cover my bets,
I kept a few babes on hand.

1210
01:11:38,366 --> 01:11:39,932
Well, not exactly on my hand,

1211
01:11:39,934 --> 01:11:41,466
and that's not my preference,

1212
01:11:41,468 --> 01:11:42,934
as you might have gathered by now.

1213
01:11:52,945 --> 01:11:56,613
So you get your best-seller,
I get my million.

1214
01:11:56,615 --> 01:11:58,681
Everyone goes home happy.

1215
01:11:58,683 --> 01:12:02,317
You've dreaded talking about
Maureen o'Flaherty since we met.

1216
01:12:02,319 --> 01:12:04,352
If it's something
you're so desperate to avoid,

1217
01:12:04,354 --> 01:12:05,994
why would you ever agree to do this book?

1218
01:12:06,989 --> 01:12:08,888
I need the money.

1219
01:12:08,890 --> 01:12:13,425
Vince, anything you say
in my presence is mine to use.

1220
01:12:13,427 --> 01:12:16,494
Everything you said last night and
everything you've just told me.

1221
01:12:16,496 --> 01:12:19,463
And since I'm also allowed to
include contextual background,

1222
01:12:19,465 --> 01:12:21,631
I can write about how you set me up,

1223
01:12:21,633 --> 01:12:23,566
how you tried to blackmail me.

1224
01:12:23,568 --> 01:12:25,334
I'll even include those polaroids.

1225
01:12:25,336 --> 01:12:27,569
It's your word against mine.
We have a contract.

1226
01:12:27,571 --> 01:12:28,736
Everything's in my words.

1227
01:12:28,738 --> 01:12:30,337
We've agreed to your answers,

1228
01:12:30,339 --> 01:12:32,339
but there's nothing to stop me

1229
01:12:32,341 --> 01:12:37,943
from putting any information
I want into a question I ask.

1230
01:12:37,945 --> 01:12:41,012
Information that I'd like
to be public knowledge

1231
01:12:41,014 --> 01:12:44,382
or that the police might want to look into.

1232
01:12:48,955 --> 01:12:52,323
Would you like me to fire
one of my loaded questions

1233
01:12:52,325 --> 01:12:53,524
on the record?

1234
01:12:53,526 --> 01:12:55,359
Sure.

1235
01:13:03,001 --> 01:13:05,601
Vince...

1236
01:13:05,603 --> 01:13:09,671
In your suite at the
versailles hotel in Miami,

1237
01:13:09,673 --> 01:13:13,541
was it your or Lanny's idea
to put Maureen's body

1238
01:13:13,543 --> 01:13:15,776
into the case containing shellfish and ice

1239
01:13:15,778 --> 01:13:17,577
and have it shipped to New Jersey?

1240
01:13:22,383 --> 01:13:23,949
No answer, Mr. Collins?

1241
01:13:23,951 --> 01:13:25,583
So noted.

1242
01:13:25,585 --> 01:13:29,020
And incidentally, by not answering,

1243
01:13:29,022 --> 01:13:32,123
you're in violation of your contract.

1244
01:13:32,125 --> 01:13:33,524
What a shame.

1245
01:13:33,526 --> 01:13:35,559
I understood you needed that money.

1246
01:13:50,440 --> 01:13:56,210
God. God.
God. God.

1247
01:14:04,919 --> 01:14:06,852
Was that how you murdered Maureen?

1248
01:14:20,099 --> 01:14:22,099
Ask Lanny.

1249
01:14:24,803 --> 01:14:26,536
He's the one who knows.

1250
01:14:45,221 --> 01:14:49,189
It wasn't that hard for him
to get the suite he wanted.

1251
01:14:49,191 --> 01:14:51,224
The versailles was still one of the fanciest

1252
01:14:51,226 --> 01:14:53,492
of the hotels along the beach.

1253
01:14:53,494 --> 01:14:56,094
But by then its era had passed.

1254
01:14:57,564 --> 01:14:58,963
Thank you, sir.

1255
01:15:08,573 --> 01:15:11,040
All the furniture was new.

1256
01:15:11,042 --> 01:15:14,076
It had been 15 years...

1257
01:15:14,078 --> 01:15:16,211
But the floor plan...

1258
01:15:16,213 --> 01:15:19,214
Was still the same.

1259
01:15:19,216 --> 01:15:21,849
In that spot,

1260
01:15:21,851 --> 01:15:24,585
that was where the truth had come out.

1261
01:15:25,854 --> 01:15:28,120
That was why she had to die.

1262
01:15:39,532 --> 01:15:41,532
Are you Japanese or Chinese?

1263
01:15:43,168 --> 01:15:45,301
Vietnamese.

1264
01:15:45,303 --> 01:15:48,871
The kitchen tell me you famous person.

1265
01:15:48,873 --> 01:15:51,139
Why you famous?

1266
01:15:51,141 --> 01:15:53,608
They didn't tell you my name?

1267
01:15:53,610 --> 01:15:54,909
No.

1268
01:15:54,911 --> 01:15:56,176
What is it?

1269
01:15:58,713 --> 01:16:00,245
Lanny Morris.

1270
01:16:01,581 --> 01:16:03,280
It's a Jewish name.

1271
01:16:03,282 --> 01:16:06,049
But I'm a nebbish.

1272
01:16:06,051 --> 01:16:08,751
You ordered three bottle of champagne.

1273
01:16:08,753 --> 01:16:10,085
You want me to open one now

1274
01:16:10,087 --> 01:16:12,187
or wait until friend come?

1275
01:16:13,857 --> 01:16:15,056
Open all three.

1276
01:16:16,759 --> 01:16:19,259
Are you really famous,
Mr. Morris?

1277
01:16:20,629 --> 01:16:22,662
In my day.

1278
01:16:22,664 --> 01:16:25,731
Before your time, I suppose.

1279
01:16:25,733 --> 01:16:28,333
I come from the north of Vietnam.

1280
01:16:28,335 --> 01:16:30,902
In my town, there's no television.

1281
01:16:30,904 --> 01:16:33,037
She explained that American movies

1282
01:16:33,039 --> 01:16:35,672
had been banned where she grew up.

1283
01:16:40,612 --> 01:16:43,179
She got better tips pretending
she was madame butterfly

1284
01:16:43,181 --> 01:16:46,048
than by telling people
where she was really from.

1285
01:16:47,651 --> 01:16:50,852
What did you do, Mr. Morris?

1286
01:16:50,854 --> 01:16:53,788
I made Vince Collins's life...

1287
01:16:53,790 --> 01:16:55,923
Very difficult.

1288
01:16:55,925 --> 01:16:57,324
She didn't understand,

1289
01:16:57,326 --> 01:16:59,292
but her policy was
not to linger in the rooms

1290
01:16:59,294 --> 01:17:01,093
of solitary gentlemen.

1291
01:17:02,796 --> 01:17:04,829
He signed the room service check

1292
01:17:04,831 --> 01:17:06,363
under Lanny's name.

1293
01:17:09,067 --> 01:17:10,199
Thank you.

1294
01:17:33,923 --> 01:17:36,189
There was no ice or water
left in the buckets

1295
01:17:36,191 --> 01:17:40,359
when his body was discovered
the next morning.

1296
01:17:40,361 --> 01:17:42,828
He had dumped the ice into the bathtub

1297
01:17:42,830 --> 01:17:45,297
and died in it.

1298
01:17:45,299 --> 01:17:48,099
He must have felt
there was some poetry in it.

1299
01:17:51,938 --> 01:17:54,338
His plan was to drink enough champagne

1300
01:17:54,340 --> 01:17:56,106
with enough sleeping pills

1301
01:17:56,108 --> 01:18:00,777
so that ending things would
become an acceptable idea.

1302
01:18:00,779 --> 01:18:02,812
He could manage that.

1303
01:18:02,814 --> 01:18:06,282
He knew for certain he couldn't
manage anything else.

1304
01:18:10,254 --> 01:18:12,420
Hi.

1305
01:18:14,123 --> 01:18:16,156
I thought you were gonna be
out all afternoon.

1306
01:18:21,695 --> 01:18:23,861
I'm sorry.

1307
01:18:23,863 --> 01:18:27,397
It's okay...
This was under the door.

1308
01:18:36,274 --> 01:18:37,740
What is it?

1309
01:18:39,143 --> 01:18:40,143
Chapter three.

1310
01:18:43,046 --> 01:18:45,746
John, as my lawyer, I want you to know

1311
01:18:45,748 --> 01:18:47,447
that this next chapter.

1312
01:18:47,449 --> 01:18:50,783
Is to be read after Vince and my death

1313
01:18:50,785 --> 01:18:52,117
and is only to be used

1314
01:18:52,119 --> 01:18:54,953
under the most extreme of circumstances.

1315
01:18:57,090 --> 01:18:59,090
We knew we wanted to make
an early night of it,

1316
01:18:59,092 --> 01:19:01,025
with the telethon starting the next day,

1317
01:19:01,027 --> 01:19:03,027
so Vince suggested we dine in,

1318
01:19:03,029 --> 01:19:04,795
so Maureen could do the interview

1319
01:19:04,797 --> 01:19:06,196
for her campus paper.

1320
01:19:06,198 --> 01:19:11,901
This is a gift for us from the audience...

1321
01:19:11,903 --> 01:19:14,136
From the people,

1322
01:19:14,138 --> 01:19:16,771
the people that are out there.

1323
01:19:16,773 --> 01:19:19,240
Sooner or later you gotta say,

1324
01:19:19,242 --> 01:19:21,775
"we wanna give
something back."

1325
01:19:21,777 --> 01:19:23,209
I think that's really important.

1326
01:19:23,211 --> 01:19:25,778
Not many people would take
the time out to do that.

1327
01:19:25,780 --> 01:19:27,079
Thank you.

1328
01:19:27,081 --> 01:19:29,047
She actually hid her tape recorder

1329
01:19:29,049 --> 01:19:30,481
in the room-service cart

1330
01:19:30,483 --> 01:19:33,183
because she didn't want
the hotel to find out.

1331
01:19:41,025 --> 01:19:44,325
We finished the interview
and then asked her to stay.

1332
01:19:47,263 --> 01:19:51,465
To help us get into the mood,
I did a tuinal.

1333
01:19:51,467 --> 01:19:53,333
Then she did one.

1334
01:19:53,335 --> 01:19:55,401
And Vince, he did two,

1335
01:19:55,403 --> 01:19:58,337
because he was always doing two.

1336
01:19:58,339 --> 01:20:00,372
We got into the second of the three bottles

1337
01:20:00,374 --> 01:20:02,474
of moët we'd ordered.

1338
01:20:02,476 --> 01:20:05,944
We... Thought it would be better
to keep the action

1339
01:20:05,946 --> 01:20:07,844
to neutral territory.

1340
01:20:11,216 --> 01:20:12,949
God...

1341
01:20:12,951 --> 01:20:14,350
She was beautiful.

1342
01:20:17,254 --> 01:20:19,821
I chain-locked the front door
to the living room

1343
01:20:19,823 --> 01:20:21,455
to make sure that housekeeping,

1344
01:20:21,457 --> 01:20:23,390
eager to turn down our beds,

1345
01:20:23,392 --> 01:20:26,226
didn't walk in on an employee
having a ménage à trois

1346
01:20:26,228 --> 01:20:28,461
with the hotel's headliners.

1347
01:20:28,463 --> 01:20:31,497
Then I went to chain-lock
the door to Vince's room.

1348
01:20:31,499 --> 01:20:33,432
I took a quick shower,

1349
01:20:33,434 --> 01:20:35,434
I put on my robe,

1350
01:20:35,436 --> 01:20:37,102
and brought a robe for Maureen,

1351
01:20:37,104 --> 01:20:39,403
in case she felt a little bashful.

1352
01:20:42,474 --> 01:20:45,975
So much for bashful.

1353
01:20:45,977 --> 01:20:48,944
I threw the robe on the bed
and moved into the room,

1354
01:20:48,946 --> 01:20:52,280
half-worried that
they would finish without me.

1355
01:21:14,135 --> 01:21:17,236
Watch it there, compadre.

1356
01:21:17,238 --> 01:21:20,239
It's a little hard to tell who's
who, under the circumstances.

1357
01:21:20,241 --> 01:21:22,241
I'm the one that's more
than "a little hard,"

1358
01:21:22,243 --> 01:21:24,142
you dumb fuckin' limey.

1359
01:21:24,144 --> 01:21:26,410
Well, I'm... I'm the one
with a foreskin.

1360
01:21:26,412 --> 01:21:27,978
Don't you forget that.

1361
01:21:31,816 --> 01:21:33,482
Hey, watch it. You got
the end zone there, Vince.

1362
01:21:33,484 --> 01:21:35,450
- Come on, come on. Fuck.
- You're gonna like it.

1363
01:21:35,452 --> 01:21:37,118
- What?
- You're gonna like it.

1364
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,086
It's like from another planet when you come.

1365
01:21:39,088 --> 01:21:41,088
- I'd never hurt you.
- Get the fuck off me.

1366
01:21:41,090 --> 01:21:42,956
- I'd never hurt you.
- Get the fuck off me!

1367
01:21:42,958 --> 01:21:44,958
Trust me, trust me.
It's like double the sex...

1368
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:46,459
get the fuck off me!

1369
01:21:46,461 --> 01:21:49,128
We don't fuck, Vince!

1370
01:21:49,130 --> 01:21:52,931
We're buddies, we're pals,
we're partners, we're a duo.

1371
01:21:52,933 --> 01:21:56,301
We love each other,
but we don't... Fuck!

1372
01:21:56,303 --> 01:21:59,370
We're fucking stars!
We can...

1373
01:21:59,372 --> 01:22:01,038
- we can travel together.
- Okay.

1374
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:03,540
We can hang out together,
we can live together,

1375
01:22:03,542 --> 01:22:06,042
but we can't be queers!

1376
01:22:06,044 --> 01:22:09,044
It's... Not... Funny!

1377
01:22:31,967 --> 01:22:34,233
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

1378
01:22:34,235 --> 01:22:35,634
About?

1379
01:22:37,971 --> 01:22:39,438
About your nose.

1380
01:22:42,442 --> 01:22:44,308
It's not broken, is it?

1381
01:22:47,112 --> 01:22:48,511
Yeah.

1382
01:22:48,513 --> 01:22:49,712
Guess the question is...

1383
01:22:51,015 --> 01:22:52,614
who's gonna pay me?

1384
01:22:52,616 --> 01:22:55,083
This surprised me.

1385
01:22:55,085 --> 01:22:56,650
The girl was not a hooker.

1386
01:23:07,762 --> 01:23:11,130
My wallet was on top of my robe.

1387
01:23:11,132 --> 01:23:13,465
I took out some money.

1388
01:23:13,467 --> 01:23:15,600
I don't remember how much.

1389
01:23:32,285 --> 01:23:35,185
I don't think so.

1390
01:23:35,187 --> 01:23:37,687
That's more than you would
make in a month of tips.

1391
01:23:37,689 --> 01:23:41,223
I'm not looking for a tip.

1392
01:23:41,225 --> 01:23:43,091
What the hell are you saying?

1393
01:23:43,093 --> 01:23:45,560
Honey, I'm in my last year of college.

1394
01:23:45,562 --> 01:23:47,761
This is a summer job.

1395
01:23:50,132 --> 01:23:51,431
No, I...

1396
01:23:51,433 --> 01:23:53,566
I wanna write.

1397
01:23:53,568 --> 01:23:55,668
I wanna be a journalist.

1398
01:24:00,574 --> 01:24:03,374
So I could either use this information...

1399
01:24:05,044 --> 01:24:06,510
or I could use a lot of money.

1400
01:24:08,747 --> 01:24:11,580
I promise you this will only cost you once.

1401
01:24:14,751 --> 01:24:19,186
I'm so tired, I don't even think
I'm going home.

1402
01:24:19,188 --> 01:24:20,787
I think it's the tuinals.

1403
01:24:23,224 --> 01:24:26,525
Hey, Lanny, don't take it personally.

1404
01:24:26,527 --> 01:24:29,127
You were a great lover.

1405
01:24:29,129 --> 01:24:32,396
You have got the cutest little butt.

1406
01:24:37,202 --> 01:24:39,302
I guess Vince thinks so too.

1407
01:24:44,775 --> 01:24:46,374
Night, Lanny.

1408
01:24:48,678 --> 01:24:52,379
I would never see her alive again.

1409
01:24:54,683 --> 01:24:57,283
I put a "do not disturb" sign on my door,

1410
01:24:57,285 --> 01:25:00,619
fastened the chain lock,
in case the maid didn't read.

1411
01:25:00,621 --> 01:25:02,721
I left a wake-up call for 8,

1412
01:25:02,723 --> 01:25:05,423
and went to sleep knowing that a telethon

1413
01:25:05,425 --> 01:25:08,726
was the least of the ordeals I was
going to have to face in the morning.

1414
01:25:14,466 --> 01:25:16,466
The tuinals had really conked me out,

1415
01:25:16,468 --> 01:25:19,735
and I slept through
my wake-up call that morning.

1416
01:25:19,737 --> 01:25:22,204
The operator had called Reuben down the hall

1417
01:25:22,206 --> 01:25:25,240
to see if he could wake me,
but he couldn't get in

1418
01:25:25,242 --> 01:25:27,709
because we had chain-locked
all the doors.

1419
01:25:27,711 --> 01:25:30,378
Hey, hey, hey.
Reuben!

1420
01:25:30,380 --> 01:25:33,581
I yelled for Reuben to wake up
Vince while I worked on Maureen,

1421
01:25:33,583 --> 01:25:37,318
trying to make myself believe
that she was still sleeping.

1422
01:25:39,655 --> 01:25:41,421
Fuck.

1423
01:25:41,423 --> 01:25:43,589
No, no, no. Fuck.

1424
01:25:43,591 --> 01:25:47,326
The autopsy revealed the drugs
and alcohol in her body, but...

1425
01:25:47,328 --> 01:25:49,461
I knew it wasn't enough to kill her.

1426
01:25:54,267 --> 01:25:56,233
All three doors to the suite

1427
01:25:56,235 --> 01:25:58,201
were chain-locked
from the inside

1428
01:25:58,203 --> 01:26:00,336
when I found her.

1429
01:26:00,338 --> 01:26:02,338
I hadn't touched her.

1430
01:26:02,340 --> 01:26:05,207
That's how I know that my former partner

1431
01:26:05,209 --> 01:26:08,143
and friend, Vince Collins,

1432
01:26:08,145 --> 01:26:11,212
murdered Maureen o'Flaherty.

1433
01:26:15,351 --> 01:26:16,883
You must have guessed by now

1434
01:26:16,885 --> 01:26:18,718
that Vince and I had found a way

1435
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:21,887
to relocate Maureen's body to New Jersey.

1436
01:26:21,889 --> 01:26:25,657
This is the one criminal act
the both of us committed.

1437
01:26:25,659 --> 01:26:27,358
But we were in a panic

1438
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:29,426
and needed to create an ironclad alibi.

1439
01:26:30,729 --> 01:26:33,229
The crates were delivered to our room.

1440
01:26:33,231 --> 01:26:35,764
The publicist had opened
the crates for a photo op.

1441
01:26:35,766 --> 01:26:40,634
But the official story became that she
found Maureen's overdosed body in the tub.

1442
01:26:40,636 --> 01:26:42,636
A police officer, called scaglia,

1443
01:26:42,638 --> 01:26:44,771
was there to witness the whole thing.

1444
01:26:44,773 --> 01:26:47,373
Live, until they drop dead...

1445
01:26:47,375 --> 01:26:50,242
During the telethon, I kept telling myself

1446
01:26:50,244 --> 01:26:52,777
that I could forgive Vince for two reasons.

1447
01:26:52,779 --> 01:26:56,180
First of all, I don't think he could
have known what he was doing.

1448
01:26:56,182 --> 01:26:59,917
He was completely out of it,
even more than usual.

1449
01:26:59,919 --> 01:27:01,718
The second is that he was terrified

1450
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,821
that this incident would become
public knowledge.

1451
01:27:04,823 --> 01:27:08,791
In those days, the slightest hint
that he could swing both ways

1452
01:27:08,793 --> 01:27:13,328
would destroy his show-business
career in an instant.

1453
01:27:13,330 --> 01:27:16,731
As it was, it was only to destroy us.

1454
01:27:16,733 --> 01:27:18,933
We completed the telethon,

1455
01:27:18,935 --> 01:27:22,436
but we both knew we were finished.

1456
01:27:22,438 --> 01:27:25,371
The marriage... Was over.

1457
01:27:27,541 --> 01:27:30,475
There was a moment
in the middle of the telethon

1458
01:27:30,477 --> 01:27:33,311
where I actually broke down.

1459
01:27:33,313 --> 01:27:36,614
I just couldn't control myself.

1460
01:27:36,616 --> 01:27:39,383
I remember I mumbled something

1461
01:27:39,385 --> 01:27:42,519
to a little girl who was
recounting her experiences

1462
01:27:42,521 --> 01:27:44,454
with the disease.

1463
01:27:44,456 --> 01:27:47,390
I don't remember what I said...

1464
01:27:47,392 --> 01:27:49,692
But I do remember feeling worthless.

1465
01:27:51,796 --> 01:27:54,897
Everyone thought that my tears were for her.

1466
01:27:54,899 --> 01:27:57,699
It made for a great picture
in the papers the next day.

1467
01:28:00,336 --> 01:28:01,902
Mr. Morris will see you now.

1468
01:28:26,861 --> 01:28:29,728
I expected to see you at Vince's funeral.

1469
01:28:31,531 --> 01:28:33,731
Kind of heartless of you not to show up,

1470
01:28:33,733 --> 01:28:36,700
don't you think, Karen?

1471
01:28:36,702 --> 01:28:38,968
Considering you're probably the one that...

1472
01:28:40,838 --> 01:28:42,671
drove him to it.

1473
01:28:44,041 --> 01:28:45,507
I won't answer that.

1474
01:28:48,611 --> 01:28:50,644
So don't.

1475
01:28:50,646 --> 01:28:52,612
So get the fuck out of my office.

1476
01:28:52,614 --> 01:28:55,815
Lanny, I have interview material with Vince

1477
01:28:55,817 --> 01:28:58,017
up until the moment he met you.

1478
01:28:58,019 --> 01:29:00,619
It would be great if this...

1479
01:29:00,621 --> 01:29:03,355
Warm, funny side of Vince
could reach the public.

1480
01:29:03,357 --> 01:29:04,622
And what the fuck do you know

1481
01:29:04,624 --> 01:29:07,358
about Vince's warm and funny side?

1482
01:29:09,395 --> 01:29:11,928
What about the warm and funny
fact that he killed himself?

1483
01:29:11,930 --> 01:29:13,996
Why would he do that?

1484
01:29:13,998 --> 01:29:15,630
I don't know.

1485
01:29:17,066 --> 01:29:19,633
That's the answer I'm giving you...

1486
01:29:19,635 --> 01:29:21,968
And anyone else that asks.

1487
01:29:21,970 --> 01:29:23,402
I don't know.

1488
01:29:23,404 --> 01:29:25,070
But you do know, don't you, Lanny?

1489
01:29:25,072 --> 01:29:28,840
Whatever I know, sweetheart,
I'm writing in my book.

1490
01:29:28,842 --> 01:29:32,309
Except you're never going
to finish your book.

1491
01:29:33,645 --> 01:29:36,379
You don't have to.

1492
01:29:36,381 --> 01:29:39,715
The person who needed your book is dead.

1493
01:29:39,717 --> 01:29:41,950
You'd always written
the material for your shows.

1494
01:29:41,952 --> 01:29:44,052
Every single word was rehearsed.

1495
01:29:44,054 --> 01:29:45,787
The book was a manual,

1496
01:29:45,789 --> 01:29:48,356
a set of notes so Vince
would get every detail

1497
01:29:48,358 --> 01:29:50,791
of the official story.

1498
01:29:50,793 --> 01:29:53,660
"A couple of extra babes for him
to sleep with that night"?

1499
01:29:53,662 --> 01:29:55,728
"A few of them on hand"?

1500
01:29:55,730 --> 01:29:58,664
"Well, not exactly on his hand.
That wasn't his preference."

1501
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,332
So, what's your point?

1502
01:30:01,334 --> 01:30:03,534
He quoted that very line to me,

1503
01:30:03,536 --> 01:30:05,869
quoted it from your manuscript
as if he were saying it

1504
01:30:05,871 --> 01:30:07,670
for the first time.

1505
01:30:09,874 --> 01:30:11,974
You wrote it because you loved him.

1506
01:30:16,347 --> 01:30:17,946
And feared for him.

1507
01:30:21,084 --> 01:30:22,817
And feared for yourself.

1508
01:30:27,089 --> 01:30:28,855
And then you wrote this.

1509
01:30:32,961 --> 01:30:35,094
Wh...?

1510
01:30:35,096 --> 01:30:36,829
Where the fuck did you get that?

1511
01:30:36,831 --> 01:30:39,565
- Delivered to my room.
- Bullshit. You stole it.

1512
01:30:39,567 --> 01:30:42,434
Maureen o'Flaherty was killed
in the versailles hotel,

1513
01:30:42,436 --> 01:30:43,968
in your room...

1514
01:30:43,970 --> 01:30:46,370
The night before the telethon.

1515
01:30:48,974 --> 01:30:51,574
The night before we met.

1516
01:30:57,848 --> 01:30:59,981
Get out of my office.

1517
01:31:48,497 --> 01:31:51,498
Miss trout?

1518
01:31:51,500 --> 01:31:54,701
We walked through the deserted
backlot of the studio,

1519
01:31:54,703 --> 01:31:59,072
and I confessed
that I wasn't Bonnie trout...

1520
01:31:59,074 --> 01:32:01,507
That I was writing a book
about Vince Collins

1521
01:32:01,509 --> 01:32:03,509
and that I was trying to uncover the secret

1522
01:32:03,511 --> 01:32:06,645
behind what happened to Maureen o'Flaherty.

1523
01:32:06,647 --> 01:32:09,180
I told him what I found out.

1524
01:32:09,182 --> 01:32:10,948
He prayed that he would be forgiven

1525
01:32:10,950 --> 01:32:13,650
for having been there
as the murder was concealed.

1526
01:32:13,652 --> 01:32:15,652
Miss o'Connor...

1527
01:32:15,654 --> 01:32:18,621
I have a tape recording
of the night miss o'Flaherty

1528
01:32:18,623 --> 01:32:20,155
was killed.

1529
01:32:20,157 --> 01:32:23,524
She had...
Brought a machine.

1530
01:32:25,594 --> 01:32:27,760
- For the interview.
- Yes.

1531
01:32:27,762 --> 01:32:31,196
I found it as I was
getting rid of her things.

1532
01:32:32,632 --> 01:32:34,798
She... Kept it on?

1533
01:32:37,103 --> 01:32:40,270
Could you use this tape for your book?

1534
01:32:44,242 --> 01:32:46,642
Of course.

1535
01:32:46,644 --> 01:32:49,144
Miss o'Connor...

1536
01:32:49,146 --> 01:32:51,045
Is it something...?

1537
01:32:52,248 --> 01:32:53,914
My.

1538
01:32:53,916 --> 01:32:56,983
Is it something I could sell?

1539
01:32:56,985 --> 01:33:00,219
Reuben, I can't speak
on behalf of my publishers,

1540
01:33:00,221 --> 01:33:03,055
but I'm sure that we can settle on a price.

1541
01:33:03,057 --> 01:33:04,956
Thank you, miss o'Connor.

1542
01:33:09,162 --> 01:33:11,328
I'll even spice it up a little.

1543
01:33:11,330 --> 01:33:13,630
Talk about how the night
before the telethon,

1544
01:33:13,632 --> 01:33:15,865
I wanted to sleep like a babe,
so to cover my bets,

1545
01:33:15,867 --> 01:33:18,601
I kept a few babes on hand.

1546
01:33:18,603 --> 01:33:20,636
Well, not...
not exactly on my hand.

1547
01:33:20,638 --> 01:33:23,237
That's not my preference,
as you may have gathered by now.

1548
01:33:25,674 --> 01:33:27,840
I need the money.

1549
01:33:29,877 --> 01:33:31,843
Did you have a figure in mind?

1550
01:33:32,846 --> 01:33:34,378
Would...?

1551
01:33:34,380 --> 01:33:38,382
Would you think a million
dollars would be too much?

1552
01:33:38,384 --> 01:33:42,652
Vince was being paid a million
dollars for his life.

1553
01:33:42,654 --> 01:33:44,854
This is one night.

1554
01:33:44,856 --> 01:33:47,723
The most important night.

1555
01:33:47,725 --> 01:33:50,392
You could have left me a note or called me.

1556
01:33:50,394 --> 01:33:51,893
I did leave you a note.

1557
01:33:51,895 --> 01:33:53,694
Where?

1558
01:34:02,971 --> 01:34:06,639
Lanny left this for me at my apartment.

1559
01:34:06,641 --> 01:34:08,841
It's his version
of what happened that night.

1560
01:34:10,010 --> 01:34:11,876
On its own,

1561
01:34:11,878 --> 01:34:14,211
it's absolutely useless to me.

1562
01:34:14,213 --> 01:34:16,279
I could have typed it myself.

1563
01:34:20,018 --> 01:34:24,252
But if it matched
what's recorded on your tape...

1564
01:34:27,290 --> 01:34:29,156
It would make it priceless.

1565
01:34:34,028 --> 01:34:36,028
Which is why you sent it to me.

1566
01:34:38,899 --> 01:34:42,133
You just said Mr. Morris
left it at your apartment.

1567
01:34:42,135 --> 01:34:44,001
He was surprised I had it.

1568
01:34:46,705 --> 01:34:50,440
Like he was surprised that I hadn't found
the note he left for me at the hotel.

1569
01:34:50,442 --> 01:34:53,776
The note you must have disposed
of as you were tidying the room.

1570
01:34:53,778 --> 01:34:56,211
I told you how he deals
with women. I was afraid.

1571
01:34:56,213 --> 01:34:58,146
I was really afraid
of what he might do to you.

1572
01:34:58,148 --> 01:35:00,047
Maybe you were afraid of what I'd...

1573
01:35:00,049 --> 01:35:02,883
I'd do to him. And to you.

1574
01:35:02,885 --> 01:35:05,819
Why would I be afraid of a school teacher...

1575
01:35:05,821 --> 01:35:07,420
Called Bonnie trout?

1576
01:35:07,422 --> 01:35:09,755
Because you knew I was Karen o'Connor.

1577
01:35:09,757 --> 01:35:12,724
When I woke up, you folded my clothes...

1578
01:35:12,726 --> 01:35:14,792
And placed my pocketbook on the bed,

1579
01:35:14,794 --> 01:35:16,260
the pocketbook that had my name

1580
01:35:16,262 --> 01:35:18,161
and the letter from my publisher.

1581
01:35:20,365 --> 01:35:22,098
I was writing about the one thing

1582
01:35:22,100 --> 01:35:24,033
you wanted to have total control over:

1583
01:35:24,035 --> 01:35:25,768
Collins and Morris.

1584
01:35:27,371 --> 01:35:32,240
You made me abandon any thought
of trying to contact Lanny.

1585
01:35:32,242 --> 01:35:34,775
You made me feel like I was
less than nothing to him,

1586
01:35:34,777 --> 01:35:37,110
because you were playing
your own complex game.

1587
01:35:37,112 --> 01:35:38,911
And what exactly

1588
01:35:38,913 --> 01:35:42,447
was this complex game
I was playing, miss o'Connor?

1589
01:36:01,299 --> 01:36:02,498
You were in the room...

1590
01:36:04,368 --> 01:36:06,935
That night.

1591
01:36:06,937 --> 01:36:08,269
Lanny had a robe.

1592
01:36:08,271 --> 01:36:09,803
He dropped it on the bed.

1593
01:36:09,805 --> 01:36:12,839
After Maureen asked for money, the...

1594
01:36:12,841 --> 01:36:14,841
the wallet was on top.
It had been folded.

1595
01:36:14,843 --> 01:36:18,411
I always... always arranged
Mr. Morris's things.

1596
01:36:18,413 --> 01:36:21,414
After he went to bed.
You were there before.

1597
01:36:21,416 --> 01:36:22,815
How would I get out?

1598
01:36:22,817 --> 01:36:25,216
All three doors
were chain-locked.

1599
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:47,101
Through Vince's room.

1600
01:36:47,103 --> 01:36:50,504
Then the next morning, you must
have chain-locked the door

1601
01:36:50,506 --> 01:36:52,305
before you went to wake him up.

1602
01:36:56,243 --> 01:36:57,408
Fuck!

1603
01:37:01,247 --> 01:37:02,312
Lanny let me

1604
01:37:02,314 --> 01:37:04,113
read the first chapter.

1605
01:37:04,115 --> 01:37:06,248
Vince sent me the second.

1606
01:37:09,052 --> 01:37:11,118
And you stole this...

1607
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:12,518
To whet my appetite.

1608
01:37:37,043 --> 01:37:39,009
I wanna write.

1609
01:37:39,011 --> 01:37:41,411
I wanna be a journalist.

1610
01:37:41,413 --> 01:37:44,514
So I could either use this information...

1611
01:37:45,884 --> 01:37:47,516
or I could use a lot of money.

1612
01:37:47,518 --> 01:37:49,484
Is that why you killed her?

1613
01:37:51,221 --> 01:37:52,520
To protect them?

1614
01:37:59,895 --> 01:38:03,963
For 15 years,

1615
01:38:03,965 --> 01:38:05,597
he tormented Vince and Lanny.

1616
01:38:10,470 --> 01:38:15,239
He could never blackmail Vince
while Sally sanmarco was alive.

1617
01:38:15,241 --> 01:38:17,140
So he waited until Sally died

1618
01:38:17,142 --> 01:38:19,308
to activate his retirement plan.

1619
01:38:22,379 --> 01:38:26,013
A million dollars from Vince.

1620
01:38:26,015 --> 01:38:28,515
A million dollars for the same tape

1621
01:38:28,517 --> 01:38:30,049
he offered to me.

1622
01:38:35,187 --> 01:38:36,553
He would never get his money,

1623
01:38:36,555 --> 01:38:38,855
and I would never see him again.

1624
01:38:45,129 --> 01:38:47,996
He had taken her life...

1625
01:38:47,998 --> 01:38:51,332
And with it her mother's heart...

1626
01:38:51,334 --> 01:38:53,367
And her father's mind.

1627
01:38:55,304 --> 01:38:57,070
And now...

1628
01:38:57,072 --> 01:39:00,406
All that remained of Maureen o'Flaherty

1629
01:39:00,408 --> 01:39:02,441
was a tree...

1630
01:39:02,443 --> 01:39:04,609
In her mother's garden.

1631
01:39:19,892 --> 01:39:22,592
Your daughter learned something
about Vince Collins

1632
01:39:22,594 --> 01:39:25,494
that he didn't want anyone to know.

1633
01:39:25,496 --> 01:39:29,231
Because of that, she was killed.

1634
01:39:29,233 --> 01:39:32,500
If it's of any small comfort,
she probably didn't suffer.

1635
01:39:32,502 --> 01:39:37,238
I want people to know about this man.

1636
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:40,140
I want them to know why he killed her.

1637
01:39:45,347 --> 01:39:47,647
There is someone in all this

1638
01:39:47,649 --> 01:39:50,082
who is totally innocent of any involvement

1639
01:39:50,084 --> 01:39:52,150
in the events of that night,

1640
01:39:52,152 --> 01:39:54,485
but whose life will be made infinitely worse

1641
01:39:54,487 --> 01:39:58,055
if I tell the truth at this time.

1642
01:39:58,057 --> 01:40:01,624
I wanna protect this person
from any further pain.

1643
01:40:04,528 --> 01:40:07,128
I promise you...

1644
01:40:07,130 --> 01:40:10,698
I promise you I will write down
the truth that I've learned,

1645
01:40:10,700 --> 01:40:14,068
but I have to let matters lie
until this person has died,

1646
01:40:14,070 --> 01:40:16,303
and the truth can no longer touch them.

1647
01:40:21,409 --> 01:40:24,643
I saw no indication on her face

1648
01:40:24,645 --> 01:40:27,178
that she knew I was talking about her.

1649
01:41:01,111 --> 01:41:04,011
You're a very special girl.

1650
01:41:11,753 --> 01:41:14,453
Forgive me.
