Yonkers.

East, on the side of the parkway.

Is that Palmer?

No, I think that's Tuckahoe.

Now west.

Getty Square.

- Do you wanna go around again? - Yeah.

The zoning board has attached certain conditions

to its own approval of the special exception

subject to this council's approval...

Thanks, Kathy.

- Are council meetings all this boring? - Most.

- That's, um, Mr. Oxman? - Harry. Over there.

- You didn't meet him yet? - No, not yet.

I heard about the job from Father Duffell at St. Peter's.

Mr. Oxman's a Democrat, right?

In Yonkers, parties don't matter.

Whoever controls the majority of the council

controls the city.

Angelo Martinelli, the mayor, he's Republican.

He's been around forever.

Has most of the council voting with him.

The Republicans were really pissed at Martinelli,

especially Nick Longo right there.

...Rules Committee and adopt the measure...

- Hey, how are you? - Good. How are you?

- Thank you, Councilwoman Restiano. - Nick Wasicsko--

he was a county cop who ran in the 7th Ward.

First-timer.

If your mother needs a handicap space, you just let me know,

'cause I got these parking people on the speed dial, all right?

- Lives with his mother. - Is Mr. Wasicsko here?

- Councilman Wasicsko. - Right here, Mr. Mayor.

- Just give me a call. - I will. Thank you.

Yeah. Sorry.

One second.

Sorry, sorry.

Mr. Mayor, Resolution 143

deals with traffic safety along Yonkers Avenue between...

I want to get one more good look at the projects.

- Which ones? - Schlobohm.

- Those? - Yeah, right there.

Right downtown. There you go.

Come, Felipe.

You can watch some TV now and then you clean your room.

All right, but you have to do your tasks.

- Yeah. - See, I told you!

What the fuck is that, nigga?

Go ahead, motherfucker. That's it, man.

Go ahead. See, I told you, B.

Nah, shit, boy!

I told you. I told you.

No, but you changed it.

No! But I want to turn on the TV.

- But you changed the channel yesterday. - No.

- Guys, please. - I hate this show.

- Mommy? - But why wait? I want fun now.

First, the car colors need a tune-up...

All I'm saying is it would be a good thing

if you and Tasha could get out of Schlobohm.

And this place ain't gonna get no better.

You want Lorna Doones or...

- Nilla Wafers? - I'm serious, Ma.

Now, there are other places besides Schlobohm for black folk.

You think School Street Projects gonna be any better?

- Or Mulford? - An apartment, Ma.

Now, I can help you with the rent.

Like you like it.

I came here to visit, not to have my mama

pack me a bag lunch like a schoolboy.

Go build some nice cars today.

Minivans, Ma.

We build minivans up in Tarrytown. I told you.

Good ones.

Y'all build the best little vans

money can buy, I'm sure.

Come here.

- Love you, Ma. - Mm-hmm.

You want a moment for yourself, don't you, Nicky?

Not really.

I can tell.

Go on, talk to him.

All right.

So, uh...

what's new with you?

Uh, me?

You know, same old bullshit.

Traded a vote with Oxman on a parking ordinance.

I, um-- I got a bill in with Martinelli

to name the senior center.

Housing resolution's coming up again.

That should be shit in a bag.

But nothing's easy, you know?

We all got problems.

Except you. Right, Pop?

- Hey, Tommy. - Councilman.

Hey, you coming to kiss the ring? For what, gold shield?

Nah. Council agenda for Tuesday.

How else would you guys know how to vote if Ralph don't tell ya?

Hey, Joni. Mr. Arred should be expecting me.

- I'll let him know you're here. - All right, thanks.

Hey, young Charlie Cola, as I live and breathe.

I just left your dad over at the hall.

- You up here for what? - Nothing, really.

Councilman Wasicsko is here.

Okay, well, good luck with that.

Mr. Arred's ready for you.

Oh, all right.

I don't know. I don't see it, Ralph.

Martinelli's been in there for six terms.

- Enough is enough, maybe. - The guy owns a printing company.

He can paper the city with campaign literature

a dozen times over.

Look, I'm not gonna bullshit you.

Angelo's strong. But who knows?

Right guy at the right time?

You got two years on the council

and no enemies so far.

How old are you?

I'll be 28 in May.

Christ.

You got plenty of time, even if it doesn't work this run.

I'm-- I'm really not seeing it, Ralph.

Why? Why run me for mayor?

Nick, look, this redistricting,

I got two Democrats, two good votes--

you and Frank McGovern--

who are gonna be primarying each other.

Yeah, okay, well, then run McGovern for mayor

and let me hold down my council seat

and, you know, you run Frank against Martinelli.

I don't see Frank that way.

Look, I'll raise you some money, Nick.

Enough to make a respectable run-- say, 40 grand.

I'm not gonna throw you to the wolves here, Nick.

You got a real shot at this, maybe.

- Councilman Mangieri. - Here.

- Councilwoman McKirgan. - Here.

Not so boring tonight, huh?

- Councilman Fay. - Here.

- Councilwoman Restiano. - Here.

Councilman Spallone.

I was there, Bobby. You don't think I wasn't there?

I watched the Bronx die from what this idiot judge

is trying to shove down our throats.

- Councilman Spallone! - Yeah, yeah. I'm here.

All present, Mr. Mayor.

First item, then.

Resolution number 69,

Mayor Martinelli and Vice Mayor Oxman sponsoring.

In the matter of court-ordered housing

in the case of the United States and the NAACP

versus City of Yonkers.

Is there any discussion?

Yeah, there's something I'd like to discuss, Mr. Mayor.

I'd like to discuss the fact that what this judge is doing

is nothing short of social engineering

by someone-- by someone who doesn't live

anywhere near our neighborhood.

The fact is is that we lost that lawsuit.

The decision before us tonight is clear.

The choice is to be responsible

to the people who elected us.

Well, I, for one, am not going to be intimidated

by this judge on what I believe in.

We can't become a city that is both...

in contempt and bankrupt.

The issue is that someone

is gonna put together a housing plan.

Do you want to have a say in it?

Do we want to make sure that the plan is a moderate one?

'Cause that is the only issue now--

Let him finish.

That's it. We are no longer allowing signs

- in the council chamber. - You.

Anybody who is carrying a sign

shall relinquish it or be removed.

And anyone involved in any more outbursts

will be removed as well!

Help me here.

Jimmy, you try and take my flag, I'll take it to a reporter.

10-minute recess!

Goddamn judge needs to come down here

- and see what he started. - Mm.

It's a shitstorm out there,

and Spallone's leading the charge.

You want to hear my good news or what?

Come on, take a guess.

Ralph Arred thinks I should run for mayor against Angelo.
