A scene from Gangs of New York 2002
Boss Tweed

That's the building of our country right there, Mr. Cutting. Americans aborning.

Bill

I don't see no Americans. I see trespassers, Irish harps. Do a job for a nickel what a **** does for a dime and a white man used to get a quarter for. What have they done? Name one thing they've contributed.

Boss Tweed

Votes.

Bill

Votes, you say? They vote how the archbishop tells them, and who tells the archbishop? Their king in the pointy hat what sits on his throne in Rome.
