Angels with Dirty Faces

"This very afternoon, I was approached with a sugarcoated proposition...a bribe offered me by this corrupt officialdom. $100,000 for the building and equipment of a recreation center in my parish if I would agree to refrain from further attacks...if I would sabotage this campaign...if I would shut my eyes, stop my ears and hold my tongue. But the building of an isolated playground to shield my boys from crime is not rooting out the crime itself. We must wipe out those we have ignorantly elected and those who control and manipulate this diseased officialdom behind locked doors. We must rid ourselves of the criminal parasites that feed on us. We must wipe out those we have ignorantly elected and those who manipulate this diseased officialdom behind locked doors."

"'Morning, gentlemen. Nice day for a murder."

"No! I don't want to die! Oh, please! I don't want to die! Oh, please! Don't make me burn in hell. Oh, please let go of me! Please don't kill me! Oh, don't kill me, please!"

"[reading from the newspaper] "At the fatal stroke of eleven p.m. Rocky was led through the little green door of death. No sooner had he entered the death chamber, than he tore himself from the guard's grasp, flung himself on the floor, screaming for mercy. And as they dragged him to the electric chair, he clawed wildly at the floor with agonised shrieks. In contrast to his former heroics, Rocky Sullivan died a coward"."

"[to Jim Frazier]I don't care how you handle Sullivan. But with that priest, it's got to look an accident."
