R.D. Call: Michael 'Fivers' Dugan

Quotes 

• Michael 'Fivers' Dugan : When I was a boy, this city was alive. Business thrived; streets were clean; parks were safe. There was plenty for everyone and now you're sitting there and you're thinking I'm a criminal."

  Carl Eiling : I don't think you're a criminal.

  Michael 'Fivers' Dugan : Shut up! I am a criminal. But what you boys have done - the politicians who've sold off the city's assets to their friends for nickels and dimes, the chemical companies who've turned the river I used to swim in into an open sewer, the judges who took hundred-dollar bribes to let them do it - you _boys_ in your Ivy League ties have turned this city into a corpse... and laid her out on a slab. Now, when the casino bill becomes law I will be awarded the contract to build and run it. I'll make a lot of money. I'll also be employing thousands of people who haven't seen a paycheck in years. I will be giving back to this city and no one - no one - will stop me from doing that.
