The Passage of Time and Its Impact
Masked Avenger:
I wonder if future generations will ever even hear about us. It's not likely. After enough time, everything passes. I don't care how big we are or how important are our lives.
Rocco:
This is a coincidence. I meet nobody from the old neighborhood in years. I finally do, and I gotta kill her.

Confrontation Over Captain Connolly's Credibility
Morgan:
Hey Murph, what do you think of that son of a bitch, huh? Connolly. Captain Connolly. That clown they dress up as a cop. That fuckin banana. I mean, who does he think he's playin with, some chickenshit rookie? I've been on the job too long, you know what I mean? Yeah, they might get me for coopin'. Or for scorin a little nookie on the side. Or, maybe even shakin down a bodega. I never said I was the smartest guy in the world, but when he comes up with this phony witness shit...
Murphy:
They got witnesses, Einstein.
Morgan:
Yeah, deaf and dumb ones, right?
Murphy:
Real live ones! The kind that put you away.
Morgan: [goes out after Murphy]
Hey Murph! Murphy! Murphy, come here! Murphy! What are you talking about?
Murphy:
They got the little chick that was hiding up there behind the junk pile!

Yeah, they got me and Coreli, too... A-Number One police work... Poor kid wasn't botherin nobody, and you throw him off the roof!
Morgan:

Murphy:
