"When I think what goes on in the minds of these lice, I wanna vomit." "Ben, see if you can find Gaffney." "He'll probably get it next." "They got all the others." "[Chief] Our organisations are opposed to your policy, MrGarston." "Your paper could be an influence against gangsters." "Yet you keep on playing it up as front-page news." "Murders, gang war, killings." "That's all we read about." "You're glorifying the gangster by giving him this publicity." "You're trying to tell me you can get rid of the gangster by ignoring him, by keeping him off the front page." "That's ridiculous." "You're playing right into his hands." "Run him out of the country." "That'll keep him off the front page." "In the meantime, you expect our children to read of outrage and murder." "That's better than their being slaughtered." "The city is full of machine guns." "Gang war on the streets." "Kids aren't even safe to go to school." " You want that to go on?" " Certainly not." "But what can private citizens do?" "Even our police force can't stop it." "Don't blame the police." "They can't stop machine guns from being run across the state lines." "They can't enforce laws that don't exist." "• It's up to the federal government." " You're the government." "All of you." "Instead of trying to hide the facts, pass laws that will do good." "For instance?" "A law that puts the guh ih the same class as drugs ahd white slavery." "Put teeth in the Deportation Act." "These gangsters don't belong here." "Half of them aren't even citizens." "[Italian accent] That's true." "They bring nothing but disgrace to my people." "All right, I'll tell you what to do." "Make laws and see they're obeyed, if we have to have martial law to do it." "The Governor of New Mexico declared it to stop a bullfight." "The Governor of Oklahoma to regulate oil production." "Surely gang rule and law defiance are more of a menace to the nation than the regulation of oil or a bullfight." "The army will help." "So will the Americah Legion." "They offered their services over two years ago, and nobody ever called on them." "Let's get wise to ourselves." "We're fighting organised murder." "[applause]" "That Sadie Thompson, she's a pretty smart girl." "Why does a girl hustle ih a place like that?" "Yeah, it's raining all the time." "That rain, that's pretty good."

"No." "Afraid?" "Afraid of Tony's sister?" "Why, you.." "I notice you stood there and watched." "Some day you'll find out you've been missing something." "Hey, how about it?" "You and me, huh?" "1 thought you weren't dancing. -1 changed my mind." "I need exercise." "We'll show them somethihg, huh?" "I think you missed me, huh?" " That's right." "We'll make up for lost time." "How do you wanna play, sweetie?" "Like this?" "That's good." "You wait here." "I'll take her home myself." " You can't." " Shut up!" "You'll be sorry for this." "Next time I catch you there, I'll kill you." "You're telling me what to do?" "I'll do what I want." "Understand?" "You listen to me.. -1 hate you." "Never mind what I do." "That's all right." "But you're gonna stay home." "Understand?" "I'm no baby." "I can take care of myself." "Running around with fellas." "Letting them hold you, look at you." "Dressing up like that for fellas to see." "What I do with fellas is my busihess." "[Cesca shrieks]" "Cesca?" "Cesca, what's the matter?" "What did Tohy do to you?" "He hit me." "He said he'd kill me ahd I wasn't doing anything."
