- Jonathan Maguire: This city survived the war of 1812, the civil war and god knows how many hurricanes. But when Lincoln Clay went after the mob, he inflicted more damage than all the wars and hurricanes combined.
- U.S. Senator Richard Blake: Did you help Lincoln Clay murder Sal Marcano and all prominent members of his crime family?
- John Donovan: You're goddamn right I did.
- John Donovan: Come on, come on. My grandmother can drive faster then this.
- Lincoln Clay: Well, let's go get the old bag and see what she can do.
- Lincoln Clay: I'm a robbin' people with a six gun.
- Ellis Robinson: I fought the law.
- Danny Burke: And the law can kiss my ass.
- Lincoln Clay: I fought the law... and the law lost.
- Father James: [Leave the City ending] Lincoln made it out to California and worked at the shipyards for a few years. Met a woman, seemed like he was going to get married. But then, then it all came apart. Don't know why. Then he started moving around, went to Alaska, New York, South America. He even went back to Vietnam. I still get postcards from time to time. You know, I think Lincoln wasn't able to accept the world for what it is, or his place in it.
- [pause, gets up and leaves]
- Lincoln Clay: I'm not here to steal your heroin, Ritchie. I'm here to make you pay for what you did to Sammy and Ellis Robinson.
- Ritchie Doucet: I didn't have nothin' to do with that.
- Lincoln Clay: [slams Ritchie against a wall] I watched you stab Ellis in the gut. I couldn't do nothin' about it then, but I sure as hell can now.
- Ritchie Doucet: God damn it, none of that was my idea, ya hear? It was all Giorgi, him and his old man. They wanted y'all gone, not me. What was I supposed to do, say no?
- Lincoln Clay: Either that or make sure I was dead.
- [hangs a rope around Ritchie's neck]
- Ritchie Doucet: No, no, no, please. Please listen... listen, just... decent thing would be to let a man get in a prayer 'fore you kill him.
- Lincoln Clay: You can pray on the way up.
- [activates the Ferris wheel, which the rope around Ritchie's neck is attached, and he slowly rises into the air]
