Miller's Crossing (1990)

Tom Toner: O'Doole

Quotes 

• O'Doole : Jesus, Tom, I was just speculatin' about a hypothesis. I know I don't know nothin'.

• O'Doole : Look, don't nobody ask me, since I'm just the chief around here, but I'll tell you my opinion. Caspar is just as crazy as Leo, and an eye-tie into the bargain!

  Tom Reagan : What's the matter, O'Doole? Doesn't anything ever suit you?

• O'Doole : Guttin' the golden calf again! I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

  Tom Reagan : Yeah, it's awful confusing.

• Tom Reagan : Last I heard, Leo was still running this town.

  O'Doole : Yeah, well, he won't be for long if this keeps up. It's no good for anyone. You said as much yourself...

  Tom Reagan : First off, O'Doole, I can say what I please to Leo and about him. You can't. Second, once Leo decides, that's that. If that sticks going down, there are plenty of coppers I know who wouldn't mind bein' chief and could swallow it clean.

  O'Doole : Jesus, Tom, I was just speculatin' about a hypothesis. I know I don't know nothin'. It's just a damn mess, is all.

  [a flurry of gunshots erupts behind them] 

  O'Doole : A goddamn mess!
