Delightful Dialogue: The Devil at 4 O'Clock

Harry: Hey, Holy Joe, we don't owe you nuttin', so don't start pushin'.
Father Matthew Doonan: Where you from, tough guy? I hear echoes.
Harry: I've been around... What's it to ya?
Father Matthew Doonan: You spit your T's. That'd be Jersey, I guess, maybe Jersey City. Hunh! I came from just across the River - Hell's Kitchen. We used to eat punks like you.
Harry: Maybe. That's when you had your teeth.

~ Frank Sinatra and Spencer Tracy in The Devil at 4 O'Clock (1961)

Screenplay: Liam O'Brien
