[last lines]
John Vincent : [the waiter serves the bottle of champagne] You look lovely.
Grace Van Owen : Thank you. None for me.
John Vincent : Please.
[the waiter pours a glass of champagne and leaves]
John Vincent : To us.
Grace Van Owen : There is no us, Mr. Vincent.
John Vincent : Charles told me you were little reluctant.
Grace Van Owen : My mind's made up.
John Vincent : I'm always found it best to postpone final judgment until I have all the facts.
Grace Van Owen : I have all the facts I need and...
John Vincent : I don't think you do. For instance, I don't think you know who paid for that fancy office you're sitting. I don't think you know who owns the building, Ms. Van Owen, or who owns the firm or to a lesser extent who owns you.
[John drinks the glass of champagne]
Grace Van Owen : You may own the firm, Mr. Vincent, but I guarantee you, you don't own me.
John Vincent : You listen, you're going go into court and you can substitute in as counsel for Tommy. Then you're going get a nice continuance, a courtesy the judge will be only too happy to extend to a popular ex-DA. Then if you want, I'll get someone else to substitute in for you. Do you understand?
Grace Van Owen : No.
John Vincent : I need time, Ms. Van Owen. It's just come to my attention that the state's key witness may suffer a serious decline in health in the next few weeks. It sometimes happens to people who disappoint me.
Grace Van Owen : My answer is not changing.
John Vincent : Some mistakes are very hard to live it, Ms. Van Owen. I seriously suggest you rethink your position.
[another waiter has arrived at the table]
John Vincent : She's still drinking the champagne.
[But suddenly, the waiter pulls out a revolver and shoots mob boss John Vincent. Screaming. The crowds are murmuring. The second waiter/mob assassin flees from the scene as Grace stands up shocked. John Vincent is dead on the floor of the restaurant]
