Bill: Right.
Vinny: Let me show you something.
[he holds up a playing card, with the face toward Billy]
Vinny: The Republicans are going to show you the bricks. They'll show you they got straight sides. They'll show you how they got the right shape. They'll show them to you in a very special way, so that they appear to have everything a brick should have. But there's one thing their not gonna show you.
[turns the card, so that its edge is toward Billy]
Vinny: When you look at the bricks from the right angle, they're as thin as this playing card. Their whole case is an illusion, a magic trick.
