Quotes

[opening narration]
Amos Jones: [voice-over, as we watch two hoods blow open a safe at the Universal Investment Co] Hello, folks. This is Amos. You know it's strange that something that happened five years ago and three-thousand miles away from New York could ever affect the Kingfish and Andy, but believe it or not - it did.
