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 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!
[Summoning the team; as the team enters; picking up the bribe and throwing it at the Alderman]
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.
