- Dion O'Banion: A *fine* Irish lad.
- Al Capone: So send him a wreath.
- Dion O'Banion: Ohh, that's a lovely gesture on your part, Al. That's a grand thing you're doing. You know, his wife and baby... they're really gonna appreciate that.
- Al Capone: Yeah? Make it a big one then, huh?
- Dion O'Banion: You know, Al... He was only about your age.
- [puts a flower in Capone's lapel]
