SCENE:
Antonin Supremo, Supreme Court Justice, sits across from his
attractive brunette psychiatrist. They are obviously in the
middle of a session.
Dr. Phlemmi:
I was wondering, Mr. Justice Supremo...
Justice
Antonin Supremo: Please, call me Nino.
Dr. Phlemmi:
Nino, then. Do you recall what was going on the day you experienced
your panic attack?
Justice
Supremo: (thinks) Well, first I ran into a business associate...
Flashback:
Nino and his driver Timo are in the big black Lincoln. Suddenly
Nino gives a shout. He points at a man in a suit.
Justice
Supremo: Look over there, Timo... yeah, it's him! Follow
him! Now, Timo!
Timo:
Boss, there's citizens around…
Justice
Supremo: I don't care! Get him! Get him!
Timo
spins between two parked cars and drives up on the grass.
The man sees them and takes off running. Timo gets out and
starts chasing the man on foot. Nino slides over behind the
wheel.
Justice
Supremo: Get out the way, Timo! I'll get him! I'll get
him!
Nino
speeds up and the Lincoln hits the man hard from behind. The
man falls to the ground, wailing. He holds his injured knee.
Injured
Man: You're crazy! You broke my leg! You ran me over!
Nino
leaps from the car and begins kicking him. He jumps up and
down on the man, who lays there screaming.
Justice
Supremo: Gimme my money! Gimme my money! Gimme my money!
Sirens
appear in the distance. Timo and Nino jump in the car and
drive off.
Timo:
Who wuzzat, boss?
Justice
Supremo: Guy from the Republican National Committee.
Scene
returns to psychiatrist's office.
Dr. Phlemmi:
Has there been unusual stress on your job lately?
Justice
Supremo: Oh yeah. This one thing... you know we just had
a presidential election, right?
Dr. Phlemmi:
Of course. You were involved somehow?
Justice
Supremo: Oh yeah. I can't say how, because it's, you know,
confidential. It was big. But the problem is, the guy we helped,
I don't feel he appreciated what we did for him, you know?
Flashback:
Nino is playing poker with some of the boys in his Chambers.
Justice
Supremo: So Cheney hands him the phone, and I say, "Don't
worry, G. I got five votes right here in my back pocket."
And you know what the galoof says?
Poker
buddy: What'd he say?
Justice
Supremo: He says, "You sure that's enough?" (Much laughter
all around) Protestants.
SCENE:
Psychiatrist's office.
Dr.
Phlemmi: So there are others in this family business?
Justice
Supremo: Nine of us. Seven guys, two gals. It's for life
- hardly no turnover.
Dr. Phlemmi:
And you are in charge.
Justice
Supremo: Yeah. No, my guy Rehnquist, he's the Chief, but
when the situation requires leadership, I'm the one who steps
up to the plate. Like yesterday, we were hearing this affirmative
action brief. And Ruthie, she's your granola liberal, she
gets all excited about how we ought to be helpin' black people
and shit.
Dr. Phlemmi:
I take it you disagreed.
Justice
Supremo: Hell yes! Nobody gave my pop affirmative action
when he got off the boat. And my family never oppressed black
people. I think my dad met his first black person when he
was twenty-one years old.
Dr.
Phlemmi: I see.
Justice
Supremo: And from then on, he made damn sure he never
met another one. (guffaws) Sorry, a little joke.
Dr. Phlemmi:
I regret our time is up.
