Detective Quote by Clare Havens
““Just making the cement now, only takes five minutes." "I did it in four once," Pauly whispered boastfully to Johnny, "but if I'm honest, I was never completely happy that it set properly." "Who was it for?" "Big Joe the Hammer." "Oh, yeah," Johnny nodded. "Didn't I hear he was spotted in Vegas a few weeks back?" Pauly nodded morosely. "Yeah, like I said, I didn't think it had set properly.””
