00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,I know what you mean, hon.

00:00:31,634 --> 00:00:33,I feel the same
about Wayne gretzky.

00:00:33,467 --> 00:00:36,Mike, I don't think
that's possible.

00:00:38,767 --> 00:00:40,aah! Aah!

00:00:44,834 --> 00:00:46,We get one night a week to
spend real time together.

00:00:46,601 --> 00:00:48,We shouldn't spend it
watching tv.

00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:52,Yeah. Yeah.

00:01:20,767 --> 00:01:23,ok, next. Minority
affairs. Carter.

00:01:23,434 --> 00:01:26,The mayor's having dinner at the
asian alliance fund-raiser.

00:01:26,133 --> 00:01:29,Play up his record in small
business loans, and bring a fork.

00:01:29,234 --> 00:01:32,He's not too good
with the, uh...

00:01:32,234 --> 00:01:35,Mike, I think we all
remember the Sushi incident.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,Never thought you could break a
window with a piece of raw fish.

00:01:38,534 --> 00:01:40,Well, you live, and you learn.

00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:43,Ok, the next piece
of news. Very exciting.

00:01:43,067 --> 00:01:44,According to this report,

00:01:44,567 --> 00:01:47,the crime rate in the
city of new York-

00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:48,that's here-
is down 30%.

00:01:48,701 --> 00:01:50,Paul, spread the news.

00:01:50,167 --> 00:01:54,Have no fear. Captain good news
is on the case.

00:01:57,167 --> 00:02:00,You know, he's just
getting stranger.

00:02:00,067 --> 00:02:02,Ok, next up,
the Sharon project.

00:02:02,467 --> 00:02:04,Oh, no! Oh, no!

00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,You're right.
Just because we were elected to serve

00:02:06,801 --> 00:02:08,doesn't mean we have to worry

00:02:08,133 --> 00:02:11,about a retirement center
going bankrupt.

00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,Finally, you're coming around.

00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:17,We've been trying to drum up support for
buying the Sharon project for weeks.

00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,It's time to throw it away.

00:02:18,367 --> 00:02:19,I don't throw things away.

00:02:19,701 --> 00:02:21,That's not who I **.
That's not my style.

00:02:21,901 --> 00:02:23,It's like with underwear.

00:02:23,801 --> 00:02:27,It doesn't matter how
tattered or torn a pair get.

00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:29,As long as that sucker
has a waistband in it,

00:02:29,801 --> 00:02:33,it stays in the rotation.

00:02:33,834 --> 00:02:36,It's time-10:00.
Donaldson's never late.

00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:37,Ok, let's go.

00:02:39,501 --> 00:02:42,Why are we rolling out the red
carpet for a real-estate developer?

00:02:42,567 --> 00:02:44,He is the real-estate
developer.

00:02:44,534 --> 00:02:46,The man is my hero.

00:02:46,167 --> 00:02:48,You read his book Dan I **?
It's brilliant.

00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:52,Except for the title,
which he clearly ripped off.

00:02:52,868 --> 00:02:54,From who?

00:02:54,467 --> 00:02:59,Think about it in your chair.
Think about it anywhere.

00:03:02,567 --> 00:03:03,How do I look?

00:03:03,701 --> 00:03:04,Way too excited.

00:03:06,601 --> 00:03:10,Oh! Here he comes.
I think you should let me do the talking.

00:03:10,534 --> 00:03:11,Oh, you do, do you?

00:03:11,567 --> 00:03:12,Don't get me wrong.

00:03:12,868 --> 00:03:14,Your "look at me,
I'm so charming" thing

00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:17,works on most, but
donaldson's ruthless.

00:03:17,434 --> 00:03:18,He's serious.
He's my people, Mike.

00:03:18,834 --> 00:03:20,Flaherty, you and me, let's go.

00:03:27,367 --> 00:03:30,Mr. Donaldson, I'm, uh, I'm pleased
to make your acquaintance.

00:03:30,868 --> 00:03:35,mr. Donaldson, I'm
pleased to make your acquaintance.

00:03:35,501 --> 00:03:38,No, actually, I think
Mike and I first met

00:03:38,033 --> 00:03:40,at a $10,000-a-plate
charity dinner.

00:03:40,467 --> 00:03:42,I would have bought
dinner, but I'd just

00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:45,come from a $5,000-a-plate
charity lunch

00:03:45,133 --> 00:03:47,and I was a little tapped out.

00:03:47,634 --> 00:03:49,Dan, I'm sorry
to keep you waiting.

00:03:49,467 --> 00:03:50,No problem, your honor.

00:03:50,767 --> 00:03:53,Nikki, escort mr. Donaldson
to my office, please?

00:03:53,601 --> 00:03:55,I'll catch up to you
in a moment.

00:03:55,534 --> 00:03:59,Mike, I just g***t off the phone
with speaker rosen, he tells me

00:03:59,133 --> 00:04:01,you won't get off his case
about this Sharon project.

00:04:01,234 --> 00:04:02,Well, first off, sir-

00:04:02,734 --> 00:04:05,I'm sympathetic, Mike, but come on.
You've read the budget.

00:04:05,834 --> 00:04:08,You know, all my friends
told me that I should,

00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:11,but I can never get past
the second chapter.

00:04:11,167 --> 00:04:14,I know it's tough, but there
are bigger battles to be won.

00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:17,Mr. Mayor, I convinced your yoga
instructor to see you at 5:00.

00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,Yes!

00:04:19,067 --> 00:04:21,Ok, Mike.

00:04:23,067 --> 00:04:24,The press gods are restless.

00:04:24,567 --> 00:04:26,They demand a sacrifice.

00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,All right, if Paul's not
here in one minute,

00:04:28,601 --> 00:04:31,James, you're going on
in his place.

00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,Please, no, Mike. No, no.
I can't. I'm sorry.

00:04:34,634 --> 00:04:38,That's ok, James...
Nikki, brief him.

00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,No, no, no.

00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:41,I can't get any air.

00:04:41,801 --> 00:04:44,I know, honey.
Now, just try to pay attention.

00:04:44,367 --> 00:04:46,Ok, home robbery is down 17%.

00:04:46,534 --> 00:04:48,Car theft is down 28%.

00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,I feel like
I'm being strangled.

00:04:52,133 --> 00:04:54,Funny.
That's down 12%.

00:04:56,267 --> 00:04:58,Hey, look who's here.
It's captain good news.

00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,I just went out
to get my morning muffin.

00:05:00,601 --> 00:05:02,Crime statistics, Paul.

00:05:02,267 --> 00:05:04,Big news, banner day, safer streets.

00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,I just g***t mugged.

00:05:05,934 --> 00:05:07,Oh, my God.

00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,He took everything.

00:05:08,534 --> 00:05:10,He even took
my crime statistics.

00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:14,Somewhere in this city,
there's a guy walking around

00:05:14,234 --> 00:05:16,with my wallet, my cell phone,

00:05:16,033 --> 00:05:19,and a big pie chart showing
how much crime has dropped.

00:05:19,467 --> 00:05:22,I'm sure they're all getting
a big laugh out of that

00:05:22,767 --> 00:05:24,back at the hideout.

00:05:26,767 --> 00:05:30,Did you get a look at him?
White guy? Black guy?

00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,Big guy. Massive.
So big, he stood in front of me,

00:05:33,234 --> 00:05:35,I thought it was an eclipse.

00:05:35,367 --> 00:05:37,Did he have a gun?
No.

00:05:37,868 --> 00:05:39,A knife?
No.

00:05:39,467 --> 00:05:41,A comb?

00:05:41,234 --> 00:05:42,He was just intimidating.

00:05:42,801 --> 00:05:44,What did he say?

00:05:44,133 --> 00:05:45,Well, he didn't speak English.

00:05:50,434 --> 00:05:53,Hey, Paul, you think
there's an outside chance

00:05:53,033 --> 00:05:56,this guy was just
asking for directions?

00:05:56,801 --> 00:05:58,I know you guys are
just making jokes

00:05:58,901 --> 00:06:01,to try and cheer me up,
but it's all right.

00:06:01,367 --> 00:06:03,Don't you worry, because
I'm not going to be a victim.

00:06:03,734 --> 00:06:07,Give me those statistics.
I'm going to blow this baby out of the water.

00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,Attaboy, pauly.

00:06:09,467 --> 00:06:11,Were you just trying
to cheer him up?

00:06:11,601 --> 00:06:12,Eh!

00:06:17,601 --> 00:06:19,I finished my coffee.

00:06:19,601 --> 00:06:21,Good.

00:06:21,067 --> 00:06:24,I finished my brownie, too.

00:06:24,033 --> 00:06:25,You want another one?

00:06:25,534 --> 00:06:27,Yeah. You g***t $9.00?

00:06:29,234 --> 00:06:32,I love this place.
I get some of my best writing done here.

00:06:32,501 --> 00:06:33,All right.

00:06:39,634 -->...
