The Best Thomas Byrnes Quotes

Thomas: [to Captain Connor] Let me tell you how this city is run, ya stupid mick. We serve the rich... and in return they raise us above the primordial filth... And God help us if we don't keep our end of the bargain... You see, to them... you and me are nothing but dumb animals... no better than the lowlifes and the tenement scum we protect 'em from. It don't matter that they, that they got soft hands and that they dress in silk bloomers... So long as they have money, we do their biddin'... And if you don't, they'll pay someone twice your size to sink you to the bottom of the river like you no doubt done to their son.
