Joseph Wiseman: Manny Weisbord

Quotes 

• Manny Weisbord : One thing I learned early on, you should know. This is a business. And like any other business, it has managers and mules. You are a good manager. You can pull things together and maintain a tight organization. So why do you take an unnecessary risk by getting yourself personally involved in a score? You're a manager. Manage. Leave the streets to the mules. Stay out of the cops' faces. Management is a boring business when you first start out. But believe me, when you make your first big deal and it's your own, nothing like it. Makes the edge you get on a score feel like nothing. And you'll never again have to worry about those overzealous prosecutors, or those elite law enforcers like the FBI, the MCU. They are out of your life when you're at the top, Ray. And even when they know who you are, they can't touch you. You are invisible. The MCUs, they come and go. We go on forever.
