Johnny Hooker:
Listen, Gondorff! Am I gonna learn the big con or not?
Henry Gondorff:
What's your hurry?
Johnny Hooker:
I want to play for Lonnegan.
Henry Gondorff:
You know anything about the guy?
Johnny Hooker:
Yeah! He croaked Luther! Anything else I gotta know?
Johnny Hooker:
[after he calms down]
All right. He runs a numbers racket on the south side. He owns a packing house. A few banks.
Henry Gondorff:
Yeah, and half the politicians in New York and Chicago. Not a fix in this world is gonna cool him out if he blows on you.
Johnny Hooker:
I'll get him anyway.
Henry Gondorff:
Why?
Johnny Hooker:
'Cause I don't know enough about killin' to kill him.
Henry Gondorff:
You can't do it alone, you know. It takes a mob of guys like you and enough money to make them look good.
Johnny Hooker:
I know plenty of guys.
Henry Gondorff:
It's not like playing winos in the street. You can't outrun Lonnegan.
Johnny Hooker:
I never played for no winos.
Henry Gondorff:
You gotta keep his con even after you take his money. He can't know you took him.
Johnny Hooker:
You're scared of him.
Henry Gondorff:
Right down to my socks, buster! You're talkin' about a guy who'd kill a grifter over a chunk of money that wouldn't support him for two days!
