The Public Enemy

"[Young Tom grabs his pants just as his father is about to spank him] How do you want 'em this time, up or down?"

"[Stumbling severely wounded after a gun fight with a rival gang and soaking in heavy rain] ... I ain't so tough. [Then collapses in the gutter]"

"Hey, Stupe, that's got gears. It ain't no Ford."

"Why that dirty, no good, yellow-bellied stool. I'm gonna give it to him right in the head the first time I see him."

"That sister of yours ain't getting any bargain in Mike."

"As far as Paddy Ryan's concerned, there are only two kinds of people - right and wrong. I think you're right. And you'll find out that I am."

"You are different, Tommy. Very different. And I've discovered it isn't only a difference in manner and outward appearances. It's a difference in basic character. The men I know - and I've known dozens of them - oh, they're so nice, so polished, so considerate. Most women like that type. I guess they're afraid of the other kind. I thought I was too, but you're so strong. You don't give, you take. Oh, Tommy, I could love you to death. [Tommy and Gwen embrace and kiss passionately]"

"He Makes All Men's Land NO-MAN'S-LAND! THE PUBLIC ENEMY Who Is He? BORN OF GREED! EDUCATED IN EVIL! EXISTED BY GUILE!"
