  • John Bookman: So tell me what are you gonna do about these gang's?
  • Mayor: Well, from what I understand you used to be a gang-member yourself a founding member of the Reb's.
  • John Bookman: Yeah, that's true. But we didn't kill people.
  • Mayor: Yes but uh... you started something and it's outta control.
  • John Bookman: Because you let it!
  • Mayor: Now listen, DON'T LAY THIS SHIT ON ME! You are pissed off because you have become a victim of something you started yourself.
  • Michael Casey: You see Mr. Bookman I'm afraid that is your legacy to Gary, so don't be coming in here waving that little cigar around and blaming us and telling us it's our fault.
  • Mayor: My own father worked in the steel mills and he got himself killed on the job and the company settlement put me through law school and I came back, now where were you all these year's.
  • John Bookman: Let's not talk about me, let's talk about the lousy job you've done.
  • Mayor: Alright so if you think if we go out and we focus on this area that crime it's just gonna dry up the gang's gonna come out and start killing each other! Huh
  • Michael Casey: Calm down, calm down.

  • Mayor: The Reverend serves as a intermediary between the gang's.
  • John Bookman: What are you tryna tell me your gonna negotiate with these punk's?
  • Michael Casey: That can be arranged,unless of course Mr. Bookman you have a better suggestion?
  • Mayor: Michael it's a helluva an idea.
  • Michael Casey: Thank you sir, thank you.
  • John Bookman: Yeah right ok set it up. and if doesn't work like you said Mr. Mayor, I started the Rebel's, I can terminate them.
  • Mayor: [On the phone] The Reb's hit the Diablo's and they're getting ready to retaliate right, we're looking at all-out war here,now listen I don't want any of our police officer's caught in a cross-fire you understand? No Mike, no no no you are going to be here I'm going to be in a Mayor's convention in New Orleans for the next five day's.
