Owney Madden
- Owney: In the next room, gentlemen, is the best food, drink, and pussy available on any price in New York. I suggest you take a sample of these things - and try to remember that *this* is why we work so hard - to live the way that the kings and princes live in this world. Huh? Come on, get outta here.
- [Frenchy violently smashes Owney's pocket watch]
- Frenchy Demange: You cheap son of a bitch! You only offered $500 for me?
- Owney: What?
- Frenchy Demange: If you were kidnapped, I wouldn't offer more than that for you!
- Owney: $500?
- Frenchy Demange: That's what I heard!
- Owney: 50 grand I paid for you. 50 grand! They only wanted 35. I gave them 50 not to hurt you. $500. I would've given $500,000. I'm worried sick about you. Shit! Look what you done to my fuckin' watch.
- Frenchy Demange: 50 grand?
- Owney: Yeah.
- [Frenchy hands Owney a box that Owney opens]
- Owney: What's this? A platinum watch.
- [smiling]
- Owney: You asshole.
- [they embrace]
- Frenchy Demange: I don't trust no one with a nickname.
- Owney: What about your nickname, Frenchy?
- Frenchy Demange: That's different.
- Owney: Why?
- Frenchy Demange: I'm trustworthy.
- Owney: You're here because it's good for you. It's good for everybody! Bombs. Peoples dead in the street. Arms torn off. People getting tortured. Suddenly we got twice as many cops in Harlem as we had three days ago. This is *not* good for business!
- Owney: Your brother's bound for the graveyard. Mad dog on the streets. What do you do with a mad dog?
