[Bloody Sam Roberts]

But watch out now
I'm gonna get there
We'll be together
For just a little while

And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
And you'll start cryin'
96 tears

[citizen]

Yes...and does anyone know who was ?

I do not get why Steyn included ninety-six minutes in the title of the column. “In a New York minute” is a familiar term but why add the 96? The timeline of the movie is over several days, so perhaps Steyn substituted ninety-six minutes for ninety-six hours.
