Audience: No! Mayor John Pappas: Are we asking too much for this? Audience: No! Mayor John Pappas: Is it beyond our reach? Some Audience Members: No! Mayor John Pappas: Because if it is, then we are nothing but sheep being herded to the final SLAUGHTERHOUSE! I will not go down, THAT WAY! [the audience begins shouting approval] Mayor John Pappas: I choose to FIGHT BACK! I choose to RISE, not fall! I choose to LIVE, not die! And I know, I know that what's within me is also WITHIN YOU. Audience Member: Amen! Mayor John Pappas: That's why I ask you now to join me. Join me, RISE UP with me, RISE UP on the wings of this slain angel. [Audience members begin shouting "Yes" at every pause] Mayor John Pappas: We'll rebuild on the soul of this little warrior. We will pick up his standard and RAISE it high! Carry it forward until THIS CITY - YOUR CITY - OUR CITY - HIS CITY - IS A PALACE OF GOD! IS A PALACE OF GOD! I am with you, little James. I am you. (Ace Goodman) Abe Goodman: The sweater unravels.

Mayor John Pappas: You're gonna have to live with it! Frank Anselmo: Why? Mayor John Pappas: Because he's my boy! (Ace Goodman) Kevin Calhoun: Where I come from, that's a compliment! (Ace Goodman) Kevin Calhoun: Me? Mayor John Pappas: Yeah. Kevin Calhoun: I don't know, I hadn't thought about it. Mayor John Pappas: Well, you're going to get yourself a good meal. You're going to pass up that double cheeseburger from Roy Rogers, wherever it is you go; you're going go to Dominic's, and you're going to get takeout. On me. Get a decent meal there. But before you go to Dominic's, I want you to go to Macy's and get a chair. With legs, and arms. That apartment of yours looks like something that belongs in a homeless file. Oh, then it's off to Crate and Barrel for a knife, a fork, a spoon... oh, and a glass, while you're at it. Kevin Calhoun: Then I'll have to get a dishwasher. Mayor John Pappas: You don't have to wash them, just throw 'em out after you finish eating. It's on me. Get a life! Kevin Calhoun: I've got yours; it's quite enough. (Ace Goodman) Mayor John Pappas: "Distance"! Distance is something you do to your enemies. It's a thing of the nineties, to make friends extinct. Distance... is the absence of menschkeit! Kevin Calhoun: Translate that for me. Mayor John Pappas: You don't know what menschkeit means? Kevin Calhoun: No, I don't. Mayor John Pappas: Menschkeit, you know... something between men... it's about honor, and character... untranslatable. That's why it's Yiddish. Kevin Calhoun: I didn't know you'd taken up the language. Mayor John Pappas: Abe laid it on me. (Ace Goodman) Marybeth Cogan: The city. Kevin Calhoun: Thought we were in the city. Marybeth Cogan: Not if you're from Queens. (Ace Goodman) Marybeth Cogan: [interrupting] Schlep! Schlep! Not slep, schlep! Kevin Calhoun: Schlep? Marybeth Cogan: Get the gumbo out of your Yiddish. (Ace Goodman) Kevin Calhoun: Now, who we gonna meet in this diner? Marybeth Cogan: What are you talking about? Kevin Calhoun: You surface in front of my car at the cemetery, you show just enough leg so I'd stop, and the Grand Central Parkway is the long way around. Who we gonna meet? (Ace Goodman) Mayor John Pappas: [interrupting] And that's all I want to know! Kevin Calhoun: I'm just trying to circle the wagons here, John. Mayor John Pappas: Circle the wagons? What do you th - Who do you think you are? Some gumshoe in a dime novel, loose-cannoning around the city? Consorting with known mobsters? Kevin, for God's sakes! [long pause] Mayor John Pappas: You see this desk? This desk belonged to Fiorello La Guardia, "the Little Flower". He was about 5 foot tall, used to read the funny papers to his constituents' children over the radio, and was about the best goddamned mayor this city ever had. You know what La Guardia said? "Why is it, every time you can do some good, the nice people come in and mess you up?" Kevin... be nice, don't mess me up. (Ace Goodman) Kevin Calhoun: This is tough stuff. This is body bag stuff. You tell me, if there's some other way. Mayor John Pappas: There isn't. The die's been cast; it was cast a long time ago. Go easy: give him a blindfold and have mercy. Walter Stern was a tough man, but he was fair. We give back the same, no? (Ace Goodman) Kevin Calhoun: You look good. Mayor John Pappas: Of course - I'm the mayor. (Ace Goodman) Frank Anselmo: What are you talking about? He's a reed. You push him and... and he bends. Paul Zapatti: Not this one. This one's a terrier! Hm, I had a dog like him once. I went to have him put down. He jumped out of my arms at the vet's and took off for the park. Heh, sometimes I still think I see him out there, watching me, gnawing on an old bone... (Ace Goodman) Mayor John Pappas: Oh, it's just a reflex, an old habit of mine. But it's still good to hear you say it... the way you say it, too. "Adversity into triumph." Good to you know still believe in me. Kevin Calhoun: Did I say that? (Ace Goodman) Paul Zapatti: I don't like the odds. Frank Anselmo: We go back a long way. Paul Zapatti: I know, I know. I tried to close the door, Frank - couldn't get it shut. Frank Anselmo: Uh, what do you want me to do? Paul Zapatti: Take the pressure off yourself. Aah, here's the thing. They'll tell you, yeah, yeah, sure, you have the, you have the key to the cell, go ahead. But you won't be able to open it without singing, yeah? You're a singer, Frank. Frank Anselmo: Give me a chance and I'll, I'll, I'll show you how quiet I can be. Paul Zapatti: It's out of my hands, Frank. Do the RIGHT thing, will you? Make it easy for yourself. Nettie Anselmo: Frank, honey - lunch! Paul Zapatti: And your family. Yeah. [touches Frank's face and leaves] (Ace Goodman) | |
