Quotes

Jack Hanlan: Back then we had an Irish Department. Oh we had some Guineas, we had Jews, we even had a few Niggers, but it was an Irish Department and this city was livable. Harlem before the '64 riots, you could walk down the street, you could do your shopping, you could talk to the Spades like they were people, they even treated each other like human beings. You're a young guy Kelly, you grew up in a different department, in a different city.
