The Untouchables - Alderman's Congratulations to Ness
Ness:
We have several operations in the works, so we're rather busy, Alderman. What can we do for you?
Alderman:
I came up to congratulate you on a job well done. Share your good fortune on such a lovely day.
Ness:
What's that?
Ness:
What is that?
Alderman:
Mr. Ness, you're an educated man. Let me pay you the compliment of being blunt. There's a large, a large and popular business that you are causing dismay. Why don't you just cross the street and let things take their course?
Ness: [Summoning the team; as the team enters; picking up the bribe and throwing it at the Alderman]
Would you come in here please? In Roman times, when a fellow was convicted of trying to bribe a public official, they would cut off his nose, and sew him in a bag with a wild animal, and throw that bag in the river. You tell your master that we must agree to disagree!
Alderman:
You're making a mistake.
Ness:
Yeah I know, well I've made them before I'm beginning to enjoy them.
Alderman:
You fellows are untouchable, is that the thing? No one can get to you? Hey, everyone can be gotten to.
Ness:
You tell Capone, that I'll see him in hell.
