[during a discussion at the house after the crew learns of Jerry's suicide]
Tommy Gavin : He was a coward.
Kenny Lou : Watch it Tom, OK?
Tommy Gavin : He was afraid. Afraid of workin' behind that desk down at headquarters for the next five or...
Sean Garrity : Oh c'mon Tom, that's your excuse for the guy? That he was afraid of...
Tommy Gavin : Shut up asshole! What do you got, eight years on the job?
Sean Garrity : No I'm just saying that...
Tommy Gavin : Shut up! Christ almighty, know how much he hated being the chief? Huh? Watchin' us run into jobs while he stayed outside, but he did it, you know why? So he could teach assholes like you
[camera on Garrity]
Tommy Gavin : , and you
[camera on Franco]
Tommy Gavin : , what the job was really about. When he was workin' up in the Bronx, when the Bronx was burning, ever hear about those days? Huh? They'd get ten, twelve, fourteen jobs a night! Shithead. He ran into a job one time up at 200 79th Street, pulled three kids in wheelchairs out in something like, fifteen minutes. You know why? 'Cause the rest of his group was busy bringin' old people out. There was a Cold Storage Warehouse fire one time up there, and ah, the chief on the job that night shut the job down 'cause it was "too hot for humans." You know what Jerry did? He ran around the side of the building, went in a side door, pulled out two drunken assholes, ends up being the two same assholes who started the goddamn fire! And he was workin' then without a mask. Runnin' in and out of the building with a cigar danglin' out of his mouth. You wanna talk about being brave, and who's a coward, who's not a coward? Suck my cock.
[pause]
Tommy Gavin : [in a much more solemn tone] Wanna talk about bein' brave? Workin' up in the Bronx used up all the goddamn brave he had.
