Dick Latessa: Lt. Murphy

Quotes 

• Lt. Murphy : [Izzy is applying for a job as a Prohibition enforcement agent]  Look, old timer, now this is gonna' be one tough occupation. So do you mind if I'm brutally honest? Why the hell do you want the job?

  Izzy Einstein : This is America, Lieutenant. And I'm proud to be an American. I came to this country when I was ten years old. I left behind cruelty and injustice, and arrived here on the shores of freedom, and liberty. I've had a good life. I owe this country a debt I can never repay. But now, I'm going to TRY to repay it.

  Lt. Murphy : [Looking skeptical]  Okay, *without* all the hot comedy.

  Izzy Einstein : [Matter-of-factly]  I'm dead broke.
