Lionel Essrog: The nun said my soul wasn't at peace with God and I should do penance. Frank said anyone teaching God's love while they hit you with a stick should be ignored on every subject.
Lionel Essrog: Frankly Frankady Franko! Frankly Frankady Franko! Frankly Frankady Franko! Frankly Frankady Franko! Frankly Frankady Franko!
Lionel Essrog: I think I blew it, Danny.
Danny Fantl: I had a sergeant once in the Bulge. Told me, "Sometimes you do everything you're supposed to, and it all still goes to shit."
Lionel Essrog: .... But he'd be the most hated guy in the city. I mean, he'd piss everybody off.
Paul: They love him. That's what makes me so... He flies above it. They revere him.
Lionel Essrog: Why?
Paul: Because he built the parks. As long as you're the guy that brings people parks, you walk with the angels, you can't lose.
Paul: The day that Rockaway Beach opened, Moses Randolph became a folk hero in this town. People don't realize how much he hates them. "The hero of the public who hates people." That's your headline.
Paul: No, he doesn't want money. He wants control. And he brokers money to get it and guard it. Some guys aren't satisfied unless they have filet mignon. Moses Randolph would be satisfied with a pastrami sandwich and power.
Lionel Essrog: If! It's not a good idea.
Trumpet Man: Don't be sorry. You got a head just like mine, always boilin' over. Turnin' things around. But that's music. Controls you more than you control it, once it gets in you. Some people call it a gift, but it's a brain affliction just the same.
Lionel Essrog: Yeah, well, I just twitch and shout. At least you got a horn to push it through, make it sound pretty.
Trumpet Man: Yeah, but there's a lot of other hours in the day, though. You know what I'm sayin'? Too many...
Lionel Essrog: You know, he never called me my name. He called me Brooklyn. Say, "Look at you, Motherless Brooklyn, you got no one lookin' out for ya."
Laura Rose: We all need someone lookin' out for us...
Lionel Essrog: So, you're above the law? That it?
Moses Randolph: No. I'm just ahead of it.
Lionel Essrog: What's the difference?
Moses Randolph: Well, the law's a rule book we make for the times we find ourselves in. You rebuild the city, in my experience, the law will follow you and adapt to what you do.
Lionel Essrog: A lot of people like the city the way it is. Who you rebuildin' it for?
Moses Randolph: The people to come. Fifty, 100 years from now, what will matter of what we've done now? What will help people to make science fiction real? The laws of today? Or roads and bridges and tunnels for commerce to move swiftly over? Beaches and parks to let people escape the rat race and inspire the mind? Palaces of culture where hellish slums used to be?
Lionel Essrog: It all sounds pretty grand, I guess, unless you happen to be one of the people whose house is in the way right now.
Moses Randolph: Central Park, the greatest urban park in the world. When they started work on that, there wasn't even a city above 57th Street. They kicked out farmers and tenant squatters, sheep-herders out of muddy fields and filth. They moved a few trees. And people protested about the loss of the countryside. And if one man hadn't seen ahead to what we'd need, this city would be unlivable, would it not? Yes, it would. Most people don't even know Fred Olmsted's name, yet they should thank him every day. I do.
Moses Randolph: The important thing in this life is to get things done. Those who can, build. Those who can't, criticize. And I will not obstruct the great work of this world, while some chipmunks are screeching about having to relocate their nuts.
Screech a nut, munk-chip! Chip a munk's love nuts, man! Uh... I can't control it, I'm sorry.
Paul: When someone isn't seen for what they truly are, that's a very dangerous thing.
Lionel Essrog: There's no upside in lyin' to a woman who's smarter than you...
Lionel Essrog: Frank told me once, if you're up against someone bigger than you, someone you can't beat toe to toe, make 'em think you respect their size and then cut a deal that lets you walk out in one piece. Then figure out a way to stick it to 'em later without leaving your prints on the knife.
Moses Randolph: Rape? Do you have the first inkling how power works?... Power is feeling, knowing, that you can do whatever you want, and not one fuckin' person can stop you. And if someone else has a dumb idea that you don't like, well, that's the end of that idea, or the end of that person, if you want.
Frank: "Brooklyn's big... Brooklyn's big, but there's things even bigger."
Lionel Essrog: If! If!
