The Necessity of an Edge in Shanghai
Mrs. Elsa Bannister:
You need more than luck in Shanghai.
Jake:
What's a tough guy?...A guy with an edge...A gun or a knife, a nightstick, or a razor, somethin the other guy ain't got. Yeah, a little extra reach on a punch, a set of brass knuckles, a stripe on the sleeve, a badge that says cop on it, a rock in your hand, or a bankroll in your pocket. That's an edge, brother. Without an edge, there ain't no tough guy.
Bessie:
You heard him, Mr. Poet. I need the money.
Sidney Broome:
There's gonna be a murder. Ain't gonna be no fake murder, not this time. Somebody's gonna be killed...Yeah, your husband. Maybe he's the one who's gonna be knocked off...Could be? You'd better get down to his office if you want to do anything about it.
Sidney Broome: [to Michael]
Get down to the office, Montgomery Street. You was framed. Grisby didn't want to disappear. He just wanted an alibi - and you're it. You're the fall guy. Grisby's gone down there to kill Bannister, now.
