“Listen to me. You come into this town, and you think youre headed somewhere, dont you? You think youre gonna get there with a gun, but youre not. Get me. You know why, cause you got thousand dollar bills pasted right across your eyes. And someday youre gonna stumble and fall down in the gutter, right where the horses have been standin, right where you belong.”
—Ben Hecht (18931964)
