A scene from American Gangster 2007
Cattano

Monopolies are illegal in this country, Frank, because no one can compete with a monopoly. If they let the dairy farmers do that, half of them would go out of business tomorrow.

Frank

'm just trying to make a living.

Cattano

Which is your right. Because this is America. But not at the unreasonable expense of others. That's un-American. You know the price you pay for a gallon of milk doesn't represent its true cost of production. It's controlled. Set.

Frank

I set a price I think is fair.

Cattano

It's very unfair, in fact. Your customers are happy, but what about your fellow dairy farmers? You're not thinking of them.

Frank

'm thinking of them as much as they ever thought of me.
