The biggest move of the day--

The stock is 11p $6.OO. at 82.
sparked by reports...

to purchase a prime section...
of downtown Los Angeles
real estate.
Morning. Mr. Bolt.
Morning.
Gentlemen. Let's go to work.
Pritchard. how are we doing
with our development in Brazil?
Mr. Bolt. we just Learned...
that in order to build Club Bolt
the way you envision it...
we'd be forced to cut down
six thousand acres...
of natural Brazilian
rain forest.
So?
Well. sir. the Last four hundred
remaining Ipi Indians...
Left in the world
are still Living there.
So?
Sir. if we cut down
their forest...
we'd have to displace them.
and they could cause trouble.
Well. they're not gonna want
to Live there anymore anyway.
-Why not?
-No shade.
How are we doing with
our new development in Florida?
Sir. we are having a slight
problem in Fort Lauderdale.
In order to make room
for the magnificent...
Largest-in-the-world
Bolt shopping mail...
we're going to have to tear down
a nursing home for the aged.
So?
Well. at present. there are 1 8O
very old people Living there...
and we understand that
most of them are invalids...
who are bedridden and dying.
So?
It wouldn't Look good
in the papers.
Ah. I get your point.
Do it late at night.
Excellent!
Gentlemen.
I have a Little surprise.
Follow me.
-What is this?
-Looks Like a slum area.
You are Looking
at 2.5 square miles...
of the most derelict.
dilapidated section...
of Los Angeles.
Right now.
I own half of this property.
The city owns the other half.
but by noon tomorrow...
it will all be mine.
Ow! What is that?
One of those Little bums
that Live down there.
I suppose you're wondering
why Goddard Bolt...
is prepared to pay
11p to $4 biulon...
to own this worthless
pile of refuse. Am I right?
Well. we would never presume
to question your genius...
for financial wizardry. sir.
but why?
Wait.
Gentlemen. the ultimate
achievement of my life--
Bolt Center.
It's absolutely visionary.
-Fantastic!
-Incredible!
Gentlemen. you'll never know...
how mllch this project
excites me.
Mr. Bolt. you have
a surprise visitor.
-Who is it?
-Vance CrassWell. sir.
CrassWell? Damn it!
Thank you. Let's go.
Excuse me.
Am I interrupting?
I'm interrupting.
I'm interrupting.
I should Ieave. Should I Ieave?
I'm gonna Ieave.
Can I come in?
Hello. Vance.
You know my attorneys--
Pritchard. KnowIes. Stevens.
The three wise men.
Hiya. feIIas. What's going on?
Oh. my God!
Oh. my God! Someone eIse's idea
of what to do...
with the downtown slum district.
Would you beI--
Why didn't they teII me Goddard
Bolt owned the other half?
I never would have bought it.
No one beats Goddard Bolt...
when it comes to financiaI
wheeIing and deaIing.
Now. Look.
I'm in way over my head here.
I'm sorry to have
wasted your time. Gentlemen.
Mr. Bolt...
Can I ask you a question?
Let me buy your half
of the property.
I'll give you $2 biIIion...
4o/o of the profit
for the next twenty years.
-No.
-5o/o.
-No.
-Six.
-Stop.
-Stopped.
Vance. why don't you
Iet me buy you out?
Look at us.
An office
is no pIace to do business.
I have a much better idea.
Now. isn't this better?
At Ieast we can see
what we're deaIing with.
OK. finaI offer.
I want this property.
I want it.
It just so happens...
I grew up five bIocks
from where we're standing.
I'm all right.
Right in the middIe
of this godforsaken slum.
It's been my IifeIong dream
to come back and rebuild it.
It's OK. You can Iaugh.
I don't expect you
to understand my feeIings.
After aII.
you're a rich man's son.
You were born into money.
What. are you kidding?
My father Left me five million.
It's nothing.
No. no. no. Nothing is nothing!
These people down here
have nothing. Zero!
Look. I don't want
to hurt your feelings.
You couldn't survive
ten minutes down here.
Don't be ridiculous.
I would survive anywhere.
Right. Without your money
and your credit cards?
Yes.
Without identifying yourself
to anyone as Goddard Bolt?
Yes.
For a modest period of time--
I don't know. Let's say.
thirty days?
Absolutely.
It's a bet.
Bet?
What are you talking about?
Well. what you just said--that
you could survive down here...
without using any
of your resources for 3O days.
If you do it. you get
my half of the property.
You don't do it.
I'm gonna get yours.
I'm sorry.
Wasn't that the bet?
You conniving son of a bitch.
Yes!
It's a bet.
You've underestimated me. Vance.
I can do it.
You can't do it!
You'll never make it!
This is insane. This is crazy.
You'll never survive.
Pritchard. be qulet.
Fergueson. go on.
Thank you. If you Ieave
the prescribed slum area...
or try to remove this
ankIe aIarm. it will go off...
and if we receive
a sustained aIarm signal...
for more than thirty seconds.
you'll forfeit the bet.
After thirty days. the aIarm
will automatically deactivate.
Are these conditions understood?
Understood.
-And we have your word on that?
-Yes. You have my word on it.
Pritchard. I'm giving
you and your partners...
my power of attorney.
I'm trusting you to Look
after all my IegaI affairs...
for the next thirty days.
Take it. Take it aII.
I won't need anything.
And you won't need this either.
What are you doing?
I have to make sure
no one recognizes you.
That was stitched in.
Give me a comb.
I don't think you realize
what you're getting into.
You've never sIept
in the street before.
You've never eaten
out of garbage cans.
You're used
to a hearty breakfast.
This is ludicrous. Look at you
without your toupee.
You Look Like somebody
who onIy makes $5O.000 a year.
Mr. Bolt. Please don't do this.
Let me suggest
you wait twenty-four hours.
-At Ieast sIeep on it.
-I've given my word.
Do you want me
to go back on my word?
-Would you go back on your word?
-CertainIy. We're Iawyers.
Give me that contract.
OK. Goddard. here we are.
Come on.
Now. in thirty days.
at the exact moment of sunset...
all of this property
is gonna be yours or mine.
Either way. I think we should
have a big party at my house.
-Let's make it at my house.
-OK. your house.
For the Look.
-Thanks.
-Let's get out of here.
''Ooms.''
Excuse me.
Two fifty a night.
Checkout--eIeven a.m.
You pay in advance.
May I see the room first?
Right behind me. through
those curtains. Take a Look.
It's rather crowded. isn't it?
Yeah.
We get good word of mouth.
Do you have a singIe room?
With or without a jacuzzi?
Look. I got one bed Left.
You want it or not?
Make up your mind.
I'll take it.
OK. Sign the register.
-What was that? A roach?
-No. A mouse. Just a baby.
Look. it's two-fifty in advance.
Two-fifty.
Could we have a private
conversation just entre nous?
ALL right. Listen.
I'm not realIy a dereIict.
I'm down here on a wager.
I happen to be...
one of the richest men in
the country. if not the richest.
The richest?
Yes. and if you give me
a bed tonight...
at the end of this month.
I will give you $1O.000.
ALL right. I'll up the ante.
$2O.000.
Now you're talking.
2O.000.
Look. I'll give you a break.
I don't need
the whoIe 2O.000 tonight...
but if you give me $2.5O
as a down payment...
the bed is yours.
Otherwise.
get the hell out of here.
Who is it?
Please Iet me in.
I need sheIter.
I'm sorry.
We're cIosed. my son.
But I haven't eaten all day.
I need food.
We'll be open
in the morning. my son.
You don't understand.
I don't have a pIace to sIeep.
I'm tired--very tired. Very.
Please. Please Iet me in.
Now Iisten!
You're waking everybody up!
Now you get out of here.
or I'll call the poIice!
My son.
Oh. my God.
God.
-Hey!
-Jeez! You scared me!
I didn't know
anybody was under there.
I aIways go here.
I thought I saw someone...
but then I thought it was
a frigment of my imagination.
Why don't you Look first?
Yeah. you're right.
You're right. Sorry.
You aImost hit me.
That's disgusting.
It is?
Yes. it is! Why don't you
use a handkerchief?
Handkerchief?
I ain't got a handkerchief.
I don't think
I ever had a handkerchief.
Here. take this.
Gee. thanks. Nobody down here
ever gives you nothing.
You're all right.
What are you doing?
-''P-e-p-t-o. Pepto.''
-What?
It's hard to read backwards.
but that's what it says.
You must have sIept
on a Pepto-BismoI box.
See?
-Yeah.
-Don't rub it off. It's nice.
It's a nice name. Pepto.
I'm SaiIor.
Everybody calls me SaiIor
'cause I was nearly in the navy.
That's nice.
They wouldn't take me 'cause
they said I had pIeuriIsy.
Very nice meeting you.
-Good-bye.
-Bye-bye. Nice to see you.
-I just gave you a handkerchief.
-Yeah. but it's got initiaIs.
You can't bIow snot in initiaIs.
-See you.
-Yeah. See you.
Excuse me. I wonder...
could you teII me where
I could get something to eat?
Don't ask me. I don't know where
my next meaI's coming from.
Get the hell out of here!
I told all you goddamn bums!
I don't want you
hanging around here!
You gonna make it Look
Like a Iow-cIass pIace!
Give to a poor bIind man.
Man. don't even think about it.
Good morning. sir.

Wait! Stop! Forget the dollar!

Those pigs invaded my territory.
I'm very territoriaI.
Yeah. I noticed that.
Gee. they would have kiIIed me
just for my shoes.
They're animaIs!
They tried that on me
when I first came down here.
They jumped me.
Ha! Big mistake.
Nobody messes with MoIIy.

His eIevens.
Look at the back of his neck.
See them two cords sticking out?
They make Like an eIeven.
Once they're up. that's it.
He's a goner.
Oh. boy.
Maybe he'll come back in
the world as something better.
PersonaIIy. when I die.
I'd Like to come back as a bird.
Why?
Because. man.
I could fIy free and easy...
and if I saw someone
I realIy didn't care for...
I'd drop a hot one on 'em.
When I die.
I want to be excremated...
and I want my ashes sprinkIed
in the old Briny.
At Ieast I'd be part of the sea
forever and ever.
Oh. that's beautiful. man.
Beautiful.
When I die. I want to go
just Like my daddy--boom...
peaceful. in his sIeep.
They told me my grandmother died
peacefulIy in her sIeep.
It's a good way to go.
Nobody dies peacefulIy
in their sIeep.
That's what they teII people
to make them feeI good.
You want to know how people
realIy die in their sIeep?
First. they go to bed.
Then about 2:OO in the morning
they go...
Get a doctor.
I ain't never
goin' to sIeep again.
I have to make some money.
How can I make some money
down here?
Why don't you do
what they all do?
-What?
-Beg.
Beg. I tried that. but I'm not
realIy proficient in that yet.
Bye-bye. chiIdren. I Iove you.
Have a safe trip.
And remember. this is
a new start. No drinking!
And no drugs!
And above aII. no infideIity!
Shut up!
I didn't say that much.
Take it easy.
Can you beIieve that in
the middIe of all this fiIth...
two Lost souls could find
some smail shred of happiness?
Happiness? What a crock.
See you after the honeymoon.
Lady! You got a job.
you keep it!
Don't make my mistake.
You had a job?
A job?
I had a career.
I was a dancer.
and a good one...
before I gave it up
when I got married!
You were married?
Oh. you bet I was married.
I was married to Tom--
Tom Terrific.
Sure. Tom.
Anything you want. Tom.
You want it now. Tom?
Oh. sure. Tom. Go ahead. Tom.
What?
Finished aIready. Tom?
No. I don't mind. Tom.
Where you going. Tom?
You wash up. Tom.
I'll finish by myseIf. Tom!
Where did you go. Tom?
You didn't Ieave a note. Tom.
I'm all aIone here. Tom.
You Left me all the biIIs. Tom.
They're taking away the house.
Tom. I don't have a job. Tom!
I'm in a Iot of trouble.
So. after Tom ran out...
I realized I had to adjust
my entire IifestyIe.
I created this whoIe
new mentaI attitude.
It's called a nervous breakdown.
I cried a Iot. I screamed a Iot.
I was hystericaI
morning. noon. and night.
I was Like this--
HeIp me! Somebody heIp me!
Get the picture?
I got it. Yes. I got it.
I think the whoIe bIock got it.
So. I've been in this
nervous breakdown...
for about eight years.
And you know something?
I Like it.
I waIk when I want.
I sit down when I want...
I cry when I want.
I Iaugh when I want.
I pick my own hours.
Sounds a Little...
Crazy? There's nothing wrong
with crazy.
Crazy's good.
Crazy keeps them away.
So what's your story?
You ever been married?
Yes. I tried it once.
Didn't work out.
She said I spent all my time
making money.
That was time Well spent.
Wet it down. ALL over. ALL over.
So it burns up nice.
Oh. this is gonna burn big!
Big stuff here. Victor!
Yeah. get it. That's it.
I wish I had some marshmailows!
-Light it.
-What?
-Light it!
-Light it!
Light it. Oh. Victor.
this is going to be so good.
Oh. yeah. Yeah! Just Look at it.
Burn. burn. Yes. yes!
Yeah! Look at it!
Look at it! I Iove fire!
-She won't fooI with us no more.
-We should go now. Victor.
What was that all about?
Hey. it's my pIace!
My stuff!
Shall I call
the fire department?
No.
It's just a bunch of junk.
I'm gonna get those bastards.
Come over here. I want you
to get Mean Victor and Yo...
and get them to chase you down
here to this Chinese restaurant.
-Me?
-Yes.
Then I want you
to run through this door...
and Iock it behind you.
Now. if you Iock it.
you're safe.
We'll do the rest.
Can you do this?
May I propose an aIternative?
-What?
-Why don't we sue?
You may be
the weak Iink in this.
You know what to do
when you get to the kitchen.
Weak Iink.
I'm addressing
the two degenerates...
who call themseIves
Victor and Yo.
You rob and expIoit the heIpIess
for your own profit and gain...
and use the spoiIs
of your activities...
to buy and seII
iIIegaI narcotics.
Therefore. I am making
a citizen's arrest.
Citizen's arrest.
And you won't
be needing this anymore.
Get him! Get him!
You have the right
to remain siIent.
Anything you say
can and will be used...
against you in a court of Iaw.
God damn it!
Thank God!
Wait a minute.
Don't pour! Wait till
they're right under us.
ALL right. I admit it.
I have a very weak case.
You'll be happy to know
I'm dropping the charges.
Oh. shit!
I'm out of bounds.
-What's that noise?
-I don't know.
It stopped.
What's he doing?
He's coming back again?
He's the bravest man
I've ever seen.
I'm not mad. I just want
to put my foot up here.
Yeah. that's good. That's good.
Pepto. get out of the way!
Now!
Oh. it's hot!
They won't come around here
anymore.
I hope so.
Jeez.
they realIy did a job on you.
Man. you throw a mean face.
Well. according to this.
his ankIe aIarm went off...
at 3:35 for 28 1 /2 seconds.
Well. Let's just say 3O seconds.
Then we'd win.
But his Iawyers get a copy
of the same readout. sir.
Does anybody know why he stepped
out of bounds...
for 28 1 /2 seconds?
Well. our surveiIIance teII us
that he was attacked...
by some vicious
dereIicts. sir...
and. I might add.
was severeIy beaten.
-He aImost. uh--
-He aImost what?
Died.
My God! Died?
I don't want to be responsibIe
for his death.
You think there's any chance
that could happen?
Well. it is possibIe.
He is Living in the streets.
and there's so much danger...
down there. you never know
what could happen.
We'll keep you posted.
Mr. CrassWell.
Yes. thank you.
Die.
I never thought
he could actuaIIy die.
That would be so tragic.
There. This will heIp.
What is that?
It's some stuff Fumes drinks.
It'll kiII anything
except Fumes.
He's germ-proof.
Germs wouldn't Live in him.
I'm being invaded by one.
Dead germ.
Looks Like it's going to rain.
I don't Like the rain.
We can sIeep in this box.
Do you got a pIace to sIeep?
No. As a matter of fact.
we don't.
There's boxes over there.
Come on. Let's get 'em one.
Here's a good one.
Now. this is my side.
this is your side...
and this is a World War II
army-navy surplus store bayonet.
This will remind us
of our bollndaries. OK?
I assllre you I have no intention
of coming near you...
or tollching you or in any way
vioIating your person.
Oh. Please. I've heard
those same fancy words...
from other gllys
just before they jllmp you.
Good night.
Look. I don't mean to be harsh.
It's just that you're a man...
and men are no good.
-I can do it.
-Do what?
Oh. nothing. Nothing.
Good night. Good night.
It's raining.
I Iove the rain.
It washes all the fiIth
out of the city.
Speaking of fiIth...
where would Goddard Bolt go
on a night Like this?
Well. if it were very bad.
he'd go to the mission...
with the other dereIicts.
It's a shame--
it's a rotten shame--

aIways on the edge
of llncertainty.
Any chance of getting
that mission cIosed tonight?
-Very good idea. sir.

Well. sooner or Later.
it all goes to the ocean.
Why are we doing this?
We're doing this because
SaiIor wanted his ashes...
sprinkIed in the old Briny.
He's so Light.
-How mllch did he weigh?
-1 3O. maybe 1 4O pollnds.
Must have been mostIy moistllre.
Is that the best you could do?
A shoe box?
We're Lucky to get it.
Let's face it--
they pllt the rich in an llrn.
and they pllt the poor in
a cardboard box. Like takeout.
Well. go ahead.
Oh. man. here. You do it.
You talk the best.
SaiIor. wherever you are...
He's in there.
I know.
SaiIor. you were a Little man...
often covered
with dirt and fiIth...
and the Last thing
that you ate....
but your heart
was aIways good and cIean...
and I hope you get
your finaI wish...
and your ashes make it
out to sea.
Good Luck.
So Iong. SaiIor.
Bye. SaiIor.
ALL the best.
-Bye. SaiIor.
-God bIess you. SaiIor.
Rest in peace. SaiIor.
Excllse me.
I'm sorry. Am I interrllpting?
I'm interrllpting. aren't I?
Yeah. I should go.
I should go.
because this is wrong.
It's stllpid. It's wrong.
It's moraIIy
and ethically wrong...
for me to even be here.
isn't it?
Because we all know
that your cIient...
onIy has two days to go
to win the bet.
Looks Like he's going to win it.
Therefore. I have no bllsiness...
even being here. do I?
I'm just gonna pllt it simpIy.
Gentlemen.
Would you consider...
betraying the man for whom
You've worked ten years...
in exchange for--
how do you say this--
just a shitIoad of money?
I made it.
I can't beIieve it. I made it.
My Last day.
No more fiIthy cIothes.
no more eating garbage...
no more sIeeping in the cold.
Thank you. Thank you. God.
I'm sorry I didn't beIieve
in you when I was rich.
I did it! I did it!
Where did he do it?
Not arollnd here. I hope.
MoIIy! MoIIy! MoIIy!

When you find out about it
it's going to make you...
the happiest person

Happy's no good.
Happy doesn't Last.
I Like depressed. Depressed

It's raining!

Yeah. How am I doing?
Doing good.
I Iove that song.
That's my favorite song.

Don't worry. This is my house!
There it is--home.
-Come on!

Well. I did it.
Goddard?
Oh. my God.
It's such a relief to see you.
What happened to you?
You Look Like a vagrant.
Of course I Look Like a vagrant.
That was our bet.
Bet...
-What bet?
-What bet?
Anybody here know
what he's talking about?
Does anybody know anything
about this bet?
You...
Pritchard.
Knowles. Stevens.
What the hell's going on?
Show him the contract.
Show him the bet.
What's going on here?
Why are you letting this happen?
You're all in on it.
Ten years.
You've been with me ten years.
How could you turn on me?
Where's your sense of loyalty.
honesty. decency?
Mr. Bolt. we're lawyers.
Wait a minute.
This is still my house!
I want everybody out!
Do you hear me? Out!
Yeah! Yeah. you heard him!
Get out of here!
Please. Stay where you are.
Thank you.
I'm sorry. You got it all wrong.
This isn't your house anymore.
I'm afraid you've been decIared
non compos mentis.
You see.
when you Lost your mind...
you Lost everything.
When you gave us
power of attorney...
we did what was best
for everyone.
I bought this house
at a public auction.
I just couldn't stand
the thought...
of strangers Living here.
I've been Living in garbage...
with rats...
for a month...
and now I have nothing?
Nothing?!
Not even my house?!
Well. you're not getting these!
No. They're by Cellini.
I bought them. I bought them
from the Vatican.
I got a good price.
My Van Gogh!
Come on. Dr. Gachet.
We're leaving!
My wine! Hey!
Chateall Lafite!
Rodin!
My tapestry!
I'm not leaving without
my ''Rape of the Sabine Women.''
ALL right. now. Goddard. stop.
Please. stop. This is pathetic.
-Get out of my way.
-Fine. fine.
Yeah! And we'll be back
for the rest Later!
Hey. hey! Let go!
I've got her!
No! My Van Gogh!
This is pathetic. isn't it?
Very.
Pepto.
I'm not Pepto!
First thing I gotta do is make
a list of everything I had--
cash. stocks.
bonds. investments...
real estate. foreign holdings.
I can get it back.
I can get it all back.
I gotta make some calls.
reestablish my line of credit.
That's all I have to do.
They'll take my calls.
Why shouldn't they
take my calls? I'm Goddard Bolt.
I was the richest man
in the world! The richest!
Shut up!
-Shut up!
-Who are you?
I'm J. Paul Getty! I was
the richest man in the world!
You don't see me ranting
and raving about it. do you?
-No! I took my losses!
-What losses?
During the crash.
the clash. the smash!
Listen to me.
You're not J. Paul Getty.
You are a pathetic.
broken-minded Little bum.
In your mind. you think you're
J. Paul Getty. but you're not.
Whilst I. on the other hand.
am Goddard Bolt...
a genuine financial giant.
So am I.
-You're not.
-I am.
-Wait. Come with me.
-Where are we going?
Over here. Let's talk.
Now. Look. Let's be reasonable.
There's an enormous difference
between us.
Even though in your twisted mind
you think you're rich...
You're really not.
On the other hand. because of
my serious understanding...
of the world of finance.
I have amassed $6.4 billion!
And I have amassed 6.5.
-You didn't.
-I did.
Wait!
Look.
Wait a minute.
Let me show you something.
-What?
-This.
-Look. I don't want to hurt you.
-You don't?
No. It's just that
it's important to me...
that you understand.
I guess it doesn't make
any difference who's richer.
Well. forget about it.
Oh. God. thanks...
'cause I'm really richer.
but I don't--
What's the matter with you?
You're gonna kill this man!
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
It was a temporary loss
of sanity. I'm fine now.
Please forgive me.
I don't know why I did that.
I'm so sorry. Please.
I meant no harm. It was just--
Let me apologize. I apologize.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Good day. Good day.
-Are you all right?
-Yeah.
But whatever you do. don't ever
argue money with that man.
Why did he attack you?
I don't know.
Maybe it's because I'm richer.
I don't want to hurt you!
I'll get him! I'll kill him!
-You OK?
-I'm OK now that he's gone.
He's coming back!
I'm richer. I'm richer.
I'm richer!
That man is crazy!
Why do they allow these people
to walk the streets?
They ought to help these people!
I made a bet.
I just made a bet.
We were just betting.
Just a Little bet.
I mean. just 'cause
you make a bet...
doesn't mean that you have
to lose all your money!
I can get it all back.
I was a financial gentles.
One and one is two.
Two and two is four.
Four and four is three.
I still got it!
White!
Everybody's wearing white.
We must be at a wedding.
We're at a wedding.
We didn't bring anything.
We have to bring something.
My car was white.
I had a white Rolls-Royce.
Pull over. Let's get
something to eat. huh?
Capacity!
What do you mean? I've gotta
get this man into emergency.
This ward is full!
We have reached capacity!
Oh. my God.
We've reached capacity.
SeII.
Get me out of the market.
-Dump my pork bellies!
-Put him over here!
It's all going bad.
It's no good.
I don't have my money.
I don't want to Live
without my money!
I don't want to Live!
Life stinks.
Yeah. he's right.
Life stinks!
What is going on here?
Life stinks!
Give this man 5OO milligrams
of dorazine immediately!
-Five hundred?
-Yes. He needs it.
Life stinks.
Hey. that's my wheelchair.
I need this for my patient.
Yo. buddy. help me get this guy
out of this chair.
-Doc.
-Yes?
This man is delirious. Give him
5OO milligrams of dorazine.
-Five hundred?
-He needs it.
Dr. Kahahn.

He'll be fine.
But just in case. give him
5OO miIIigrams of dorazine.
-Five hundred. doctor?
-He needs it.
Yes. Doctor.
Well. here's a new one.
What do we have here?

Then give him five hundred
milligrams of dorazine.
-Five hundred?
-Yes. I'm a doctor.
-I know what I'm doing.
-Dr. Kahahn.

Dr. Kahahn! This patient
is cyanotic. He's turning blue.
This man's been overmedicated.
Take him to I.C.U. immediately.
Yes. doctor.
Give me a hand. Please.
How does a thing
Like this happen?
Pepto.
I know you want to give up.
but you're wrong.
Even without money.
life is good.
No? What about when
you didn't eat for two days...
and then you had your
first big meal at the mission?
Wasn't that good?
Remember the other night...
when we drank champagne
and danced...
and rolled around in rags?
I know they're only moments...
but that's all life is...
just a bunch of moments.
Most of them are lousy...
but once in a while.
you steal a good one.
Come on.
Come on back to me.
Don't be such a selfish bastard.
You're the only person
I can stand.
Don't leave me.
I love you.
Please. don't leave me.
Molly.
You're crying.
What happened?
Somebody die?
Somebody Lived.
Ladies and Gentlemen. this is
the greatest day of my life.
This is the moment I dreamed of
ever since I grew up...
on these poverty-ridden streets
as a poor. hungry child.
I'm all right.
Where else but in America...
could a poor. deprived boy from
this very same neighborhood...
return one day to destroy it?
It's good to be alive!
There are so many things
you can't do when you're dead.
-Remember what you said?
-What?
What you said in the hospital.
What?
That you love me.
It's words. just words.
''Love'' is just another word.
You meant it.
Let the demolition begin.
-Nunzio!
-Yo!
And now. ladies and Gentlemen.
to celebrate and cut the dust...
I salute you with the finest
champagne money can buy.
What's that?
Oh. man!
You should see them over there.
The big shots are having
a party in our neighborhood...
and we ain't invited.
I feel slighted.
I mean. they got all types
of food and champagne.
It's so big.
they're putting it on TV.
Come on. Pepto. Hurry up.
We gotta find a new place
before the good ones are taken.
No! No more running!
They forced me
to Live in the crap...
and now they want
to take the crap away? No!
What do you mean. ''no''?
Here's what I mean.
Stop!
Wait! Stop!
Don't go! Don't give up!
This is America!
Every person has a right
to have a place to Live!
Come! Join me!
Let's fight for our rights!
Let's take our homes back!
Follow me!
Wait! There's a party
back there.
-Free food for everyone!
-And booze.
Stop! Wait! Listen to me!
Wait! Stop!
If we run now.
we'll always be running.
It's got to stop somewhere.
They've got TV news cameras
down there.
Let's show the world
what they're doing to us.
Come on!
The nicest neighborhood.
Shall we dance?
-Do you come here often?
-Oh. my God!
I've never seen anything
Like this before.
Hey! Just a minute!
How dare you break in Like this!
Who do you people think you are?
Get out of here!
I'm talking to you.
Turn around. you idiot!
Do you hear me?
Are you crazy?
Do you know who I am?
Do you have any idea
who you're dealing with?
You are in serious trouble.

You are trespassing
on private property.
I can throw you in jail!
I can have you arrested!
You will lose
your voting privilege!
Have you ever been in jail?
-Mmm! Chicken!
-How dare you!
Oh. boy!
When my husband divorced me.
I thought my life was over.
It's just beginning.
Hey. Willy. listen.
Gotcha.
...ceremony has erupted
into pandemonium.
As of yet. I'm not exactly sure
what's happening.
This is Fumes
reporting from downtown...
and I'll tell you

The rich and famous are having
a party in our neighborhood...

Oh. my God! Look what I've done!
Get me a doctor!
Get me an ambulance!
Look what you've done!

This party has disintegrated
into utter chaos.
There are bums eating
pate de foie gras.
My God!

He's not the only one who can
run one of those damn machines.
No comment.
Look!
We had a bet. remember?
Maybe this

It's all coming back to me now.
You won the bet.
It's all coming back to me.
You won the bet.

because I don't want this.
I'll be fine when I get down.
