Newman Quote #17
Quote from Newman in The Pitch/The Ticket
Newman: I had gone up to Westchester. I go there every Tuesday. I do charity work with the blind in my spare time for the Lighthouse. I was in the middle of a game of Parcheesi with an old blind man and I excused myself to call my friend as he was very depressed lately because he never became a banker.
Judge: I don't understand.
Newman: You see, it had been his lifelong dream to be a banker. And he uh, just the day before, he was turned down by another bank. I believe it was the Manufacturer's Hanover on Lexington and 40th Street. That was the third bank in two weeks to turn him down, so I was a little concerned. I wanted to see how he was doing. Well, Your Honor, he was barely audible. But I distinctly recall him say...
Kramer: [involuntarily] Yo-Yo Ma!
Newman: So I sped home to save my friend's life and I was stopped for speeding. Yes, I admit I was speeding, but it was to save a man's life. A close friend. An innocent person who wanted nothing more out of life than to love, to be loved and to be a banker.
Judge: So then he didn't kill himself?
Newman: No, sir, he did not. But only by the grace of God. He's in the courtroom today, [stands up, points to Kramer], sitting right over there. And he can corroborate my entire testimony.
