    • Quotes
      • Arnie Wendler: How'dya like me to sing? To turn states evidence?
      • Judge Kincaid: And what do you expect in return?
      • Arnie Wendler: To walk out clean. Absolutely clean.
      • Judge Kincaid: You have the audacity to suggest a proposal like that to me?
      • Arnie Wendler: That's the deal. Take it or leave it.
      • Judge Kincaid: What makes you think I'd make a bargain like this with you Wendler? You haven't a chance. This entire city is looking for you. You'll be picked up in a matter of days, hours.
      • Arnie Wendler: You'd like to crack the Syndicate wouldn't ya, Kincaid? You'd like to reach one of the big boys.
      • Judge Kincaid: Go on.
      • Arnie Wendler: Me, I'm small fry. Maybe I burn for Williamson's murder, but I don't have to testify. I don't even have to open my trap in the courtroom unless I want to, but if I do, I'll nail one of the big boys for you. Maybe 5he biggest. I can put the finger right on Charlie Lupo.
