Norman Cass, Sr.
- Mayor Frank Skeffington: There's nothing wrong with the city's credit and you know it.
- Norman Cass, Sr.: On that, we happen to differ.
- Mayor Frank Skeffington: On that, and one or two other points. But it really all boils down to one, doesn't it? The fact that the city is no longer yours. It's ours. You have this musty shrine to your bluenose ancestors, but my people have the City Hall and that's what sticks in your craw. You can't swallow it and you can't forget it. Well I'm going to make you eat it. That housing project is going up as planned and it's going to be open on schedule. And you know what day that's going to be? St Patrick's Day!
- Amos Force: You bungled it! You should've applied pressure! His endorsement would've meant everything!
- Norman Cass, Sr.: What pressure do you suggest? Burning a fiery cross in his front lawn? Stop talking nonsense.
