The Public Enemy - Betrayal and Guilt Among Brothers
Tom Powers:
So beer ain't good enough for you, huh?
Mike Powers: [He throws the keg into the corner noisily smashing Mrs. Powers' table]
Do you think I care if there was just beer in that keg? I know what's in it. I know what you've been doing all this time, how you got those clothes and those new cars. You've been telling Ma that you've gone into politics, that you're on the city payroll. Pat Burke told me everything. You murderers! There's not only beer in that jug. There's beer and blood - blood of men!
Tom Powers: [Stands; He walks away, but turns for the last word]
You ain't changed a bit. Besides, your hands ain't so clean. You killed and liked it. You didn't get them medals for holding hands with them Germans.
