"Crew member [offscreen]: That's an awful big town……" — Dudley Nichols
"Crew member [offscreen]: That's an awful big town San Francisco. Weinberg: Strictly a one-whistle stop. There's only one city in the USA and that's New York. Chief Sergeant: Oh, you're just another hometown hick, Weinberg. What's wrong with California? Weinberg: California. The sunshines and nothing happens. Before you know it, you're sixty years old. Chief Sergeant: It's no different from New York. My sister's been tryin' to get out of Brooklyn for the last forty years. Weinberg: Brooklyn. That ain't New York, Chief. Once you cross that Brooklyn Bridge, you're out of this world. The only noise you hear is the hardening of your arteries. You know when I used to drive a hack, I had a pal who crossed that bridge back in 1929 and ain't never heard from him since."
