Quotes
-
Johnny G. : Alright. You see down there? This whole part of the city is controlled by a guy named Lou Caddie. The book, the policy, the joints, the whole works. Nobody makes a move without the okay from Lou. Lou's a great guy, see? A lot of class. He doesn't like any rough stuff. Everything goes along nice and quiet. Until two years ago. They sent a team down from Washington to get something on him.
Coffee : Did they?
Johnny G. : Our operation is plenty smart, but they got him. On income tax. I was with him this afternoon, when they turned his appeal down, so it's three to five years.
Coffee : What does it mean to you?
Johnny G. : Well, Lou, turns to me and he says, like nothing happened, he says: "It's all yours now, Kid. You and Allie get the whole set up; even the car keys".
Coffee : Car keys?
Johnny G. : Yeah, that's where he got his name - Lou Caddie. He always drives a Caddie Convertible.
Coffee : So it's between Allie and you.
Johnny G. : Yeah, me and Allie.

Coffee : There's too much right with Johnny for him to be all wrong. There's more wrong with him than I'll admit.
