• Mayor Kuzack : How are we supposed to raise that kind of money with things the way they are?

  The Old Man : You aren't.

  Mayor Kuzack : What the hell is he talking about?

  The Old Man : We don't expect you to pay.

  Holzgang : Let me refer you to our contract. "In the event of default, OCP shall have the uncontested right of foreclosure on all city assets."

  Poulos : [reading contract for himself, then to the Mayor]  You SIGNED this.

  Mayor Kuzack : So you're saying we miss one payment and you can foreclose.

  The Old Man : We can and we will. We're taking Detroit private.

• Mayor Kuzack : So you deliberately undermined our credit.

  Holzgang : That was the easy part.

  Mayor Kuzack : And engineered the police strike. Do you want Detroit to-to... to tear itself apart so you can raid it like you would any other corporation? Do you know how many people are dying out there? You're murderers.

  Holzgang : I'd advise you to say nothing further. It might be... actionable.

  Mayor Kuzack : It's bullshit! BULLSHIT, YA SENILE OLD BASTARD!

  Poulos : All right, calm down.

  Mayor Kuzack : It's bullshit!

  Poulos : I think we better get out of here.

  Mayor Kuzack : I'm okay!

  Poulos : Calm down. I-I think we'd better leave.

  Mayor Kuzack : I'm calm.

  Poulos : Calm down.

  [Kuzack and Poulous head towards the door] 

  Mayor Kuzack : I'm okay. I'm okay.

  Poulos : All right. Good.

  Mayor Kuzack : I'm in control. Everything is fine. It's okay. I'm fine.

  Mayor Kuzack : [stops and turns around]  One last thing, gentlemen: we will sue your asses.

  The Old Man : Give it your best shot.

  Mayor Kuzack : FUCK YOU, YA OLD SENILE BASTARD! This is bullshit! Fuck you! This is bullshit!

• Hob : Why do people do crimes?

  Mayor Kuzack : Why? Drugs. People do drugs.

  Hob : Because they want drugs. The kind that cost too much. Nuke - gives high quality at a cheap price. If you get off our backs, we're gonna make it cheaper.

  Angie : And safer.

  Hob : We don't go shoving our shit down anybody's throat. And we don't advertise it like they do with cigarettes or booze.

  Angie : So leave us alone - and anybody who wants it gets it.

  Hob : So no more crimes. You get to be the mayor who cleaned up Detroit.

  Mayor Kuzack : He's got a point. Don't you think he's got a point?

  Poulos : Yeah, he's got a point.

• Poulos : If you have any cash, now's the time to put it in your shorts.

• Mayor Kuzack : I wonder if any of you could help me. I'm looking for a Mr. Hob.

  Hob : So, how much you need?

  [the Mayor and Poulos chuckle in disbelief at Hob being a young kid] 

  Hob : Money, I mean.

  Mayor Kuzack : Well, our current debt to OCP is...

  [Looks at his assistant] 

  Poulos : $37,480,911

  Hob : Guess you're in some pretty deep shit.

  Mayor Kuzack : Well, we need all the help we can get, young man.

  Hob : Tell you what. Put me down for fifty, just to make sure.

  Mayor Kuzack : [laughs]  Fifty cents, fifty dollars! That's cute!

  Hob : Don't be a queer.

  [the mayor stops laughing] 

  Hob : Fifty million.

  Poulos : This is bullshit. Let's get outta here.

  Hob : [the mayor goes to leave but one of Hob's men pulls a gun on him. Hob motions and one of his men opens the back doors of the bomb disposal truck; the back is filled with gold bars and bills]  Gentlemen? Well, will fifty do it?

  Mayor Kuzack : Oh, yes, that'll do it.

  [Looks at his assistants] 

  Mayor Kuzack : Don't you guys think that'll do it?

  [They nod in agreement] 

  Mayor Kuzack : Fifty mil - that will do it!

  Aide : For God's sake, Marv! These people are criminals!

  Mayor Kuzack : Why do you have to label people? I hate labels!

  Poulos : [to Aide]  You shut up!
