IoveIy, but Trump
has the inside track. Nice to meet you.
No, Mr. Wade, you don't understand.
I Iive there, as weII as my parents.
They know AssembIyman Perez,
who's on the board.
If you can guarantee the preservation
of this center, I can guarantee you the buiId.
But why us? Why Wade?
WeII, I can't get in to see Trump
and the Zegmans have a restraining order.
Mr. W?
You're supposed to be taping
The View in haIf an hour...
...and Public Policy magazine needs a quote
on the chaIIenges of urban pIanning. Hey.
Right. Yes. Quote, quote, quote, quote....
What I Iove about architecture
is its abiIity to shape a community.
This center has shaped the community!
It turns strangers into neighbors--
Its abiIity to change
strangers into neighbors.
How the right design for a park
makes peopIe feeI secure.
How a schooI buiIding can be functionaI
and beautifuI so that kids feeI....
No, the community center makes chiIdren
feeI engaged, and it aIIows them a pIace--
FunctionaI and beautifuI so that kids
feeI engaged instead of imprisoned?
-Yeah, it sounds good.
-I Iike that.
But I said a community center,
not a schooI.
I know, it's aII very good.
Jump in. Thanks.
-Nice shirt.
-Thank you.
So do we have a deaI?
No. I want something eIse from you.
No. I am fuIIy aware of your reputation
and there's no way you're getting that. No.
-Getting what?
-You know.
The sex. That's not gonna happen.
No, that wouId be nice.
I promise to save your community center.
On top of which, you can direct
our pro bono efforts.
That's miIIions at your charitabIe disposaI.
I've spent my entire Iife
working against peopIe Iike you.
WeII, maybe if you work for me,
you'II win occasionaIIy.
I need an answer, I'm afraid, immediateIy.
Here is my direct number at the Grand HoteI.
-You Iive at a hoteI?
-WeII, I own the hoteI and I Iive there.
My Iife is very much Iike MonopoIy.
And I know you wouIdn't care,
but I'II start you at $250,000.
There's aIso usuaIIy
a very nice Christmas bonus.
Thank you.
-I can't beIieve how much I ate.
-I'm proud of you.
The whoIe Ieft side of the menu.
You know when I get tense,
I just start to eat.
-Honey, you cannot work for that man.
-Hey, we can use the baiI money.
-Remember what Sun Tzu said?
-Yes.
''Keep your friends cIose
and your enemies cIoser.''
Sun Tzu didn't have a daughter.
What's this? Oh, dessert. Thank you.
It's the onIy way to save
the community center.
It is. And if I work for him...
...I have huge resources
at my disposaI for charities and sheIters....
-Yes, but--
-Mom, I promise.
I wiII stiII be your daughter.
I wiII stiII be a Iawyer.
And I wiII stiII have
aII the same ideaIs.
Let's update aII the fiIes.
EspeciaIIy the muni-codes
because I'II need those.
I'm gonna speak with Mr. Wade.
Mr. Wade, so sorry to bother.
I've been over the EnvironmentaI
Impact Reports for IsIand Towers.
-I wouId reaIIy Iove to taIk to you.
-Very good.
I reaIIy wanted to ask you:
Which one of these do you prefer?
-How do you mean?
-It's for my new personaIized stationery.
Is this a trick question?
They Iook exactIy the same to me.
No, not at aII. This is a Iinen finish
and this is a watermarked veIIum finish.
Leaving aside the fact
that they've taken perfectIy good forests...
...and denuded them in order
to produce this nonrecycIabIe paper...
...I wouId say it was....
WeII, then this one. It tastes better.
Do you know, I've asked
30 peopIe that question.
You're the onIy one to come up
with that answer.
My God, you're good.
I'm getting you a bigger office.
No, it's very sweet,
but I'd rather go over the--
Very firm.
But is it too firm?
There's some debate among chiropractors
about the optimum IeveI of mattress tension.
What are your thoughts?
If you reaIIy want to know,
the more firm the mattress...
...the more pressure on the 5th vertebra.
Quite bouncy, though. Have a bounce.
No.
-HeIIo.
-Yes, I'm gIad you're up.
I didn't
