Happy Jack
- Happy Jack: I'm paid to uphold the law.
- Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting: What in Heaven's name are you talking about?

- Miss Schermerhorn: How do you do, Mr. Cutting?
- [extends her hand]
- Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting: As of this moment, extremely well. Thank you. How do you do?
- [leans down and smells her hand]

- Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting: The Five Points welcomes you to these streets and you shall pass in safety.

- Horace Greeley: I find that - strangely flattering.
