Famous quotes containing the words jimmy and/or lee:

    “You want to get Capone? Here’s how you get him: he pulls a knife, you pull a gun, he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. It’s the Chicago way and that’s how you get Capone.”
    —David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery)

    “That’s playgirl stuff, Brownie. I’ve seen them in London, Paris, Rome. They start life in a New York nightclub and end up covering the world like a paid advertisement. Not an honest feeling from her kneecap to her neck.”
    —John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
