:52:00
Sheriff!
:52:01
Alright, Mr Tweed, you back an
Irishman for sheriff...
:52:04
...of the city and county of
New York...
:52:05
...and we'll get him elected.
:52:07
I love the Irish, son...
:52:08
..but higher than alderman you
shall never climb.
:52:11
Why not?
:52:12
For one thing, no man living can
consolidate the Irish vote.
:52:15
I can!
:52:15
And for another, I mean no
offence...
:52:17
...no one's yet found an Irish
candidate...
:52:19
...for sheriff worth voting for.
:52:24
Monk!
:52:26
Here.
:52:32
Got me looking as sober as me own
grandfather!
:52:34
He was a great man, I'm sure.
:52:36
He was a drunken bastard.
:52:40
Can I say what I want?
:52:43
That's why I wanted you.
:52:46
Our elected representatives are a
gang of thieves!
:52:48
Who swear to better our lot...
:52:50
...while dipping their hands deep
into our pockets.
:52:53
I stand shoulder to shoulder with
community leaders like Bill Cutting...
:52:57
....against any, an all in roads in
our democracy.
:53:01
I'll see to it, that no one
takes away...
:53:03
... what you earned by pluck and application.
:53:05
To invading hordes of Hibernians.
:53:07
Go to the polls and put
your mark...
:53:10
... next to the name Walter McGinn.
:53:12
Against the potatoes weeders, like
them over there...
:53:15
...thieving our jobs.
:53:16
Why should so many Irish die down
south...
:53:19
...when the first war to win...
:53:20
...is not down in Dixie, but
right here...
:53:22
...in these streets!
:53:25
Who's the finest streetfighter in
the Five Points?
:53:28
Monk!
:53:29
That's right and let the whole
damn city hear it!
:53:34
That man was right born for this.
:53:36
He's killed 44 men and laid low a
couple of hundred more.
:53:39
Is that right?
:53:40
Right.
:53:41
I should have run him for mayor!
:53:45
Alright, line 'm up.
:53:46
It's election day!
:53:57
Come on, you bastard. We need
your vote.
:53:59
Bastard? I fought for you
nigger...
