Hey c'mon talk to me, I wanna know what it's like being a whore.
Gus Mally:
Actually, I always thought it was rather like being a cop.
Constable:
You did? Hahaha...
Gus Mally:
Yeah. Not unlike being on the take at two dozen bars in downtown Vegas. Taking money from some politician each time you peel his drunken kid's Cadillac off a telephone pole. Strong-arming the Chicanos in the barrio on Saturday night. Busting kids for smoking grass... then taking a kickback from the heroin dealers. Or those occasions when you do bust a pusher... and skim the haul when you've made the collar. Sell it to your dope addict buddies on the force.
Constable:
She's sure onto all our tricks.
Gus Mally:
As I see it, the only difference between you and me is that when I quit work I take a long hot bath and I'm as clean as the day I was born. But a cop, especially a flunkie like you, when the sheriff whistles - you squat. And what he does to you rots your brain. No amount of water on earth can get you clean again.
