Gangs of New York may achieve greatness with the passage of time. Mixed reviews were inevitable for a production this grand (and this troubled behind the scenes), but it's as distinguished as any of director Martin Scorsese's more celebrat… more »



Bill:
[after foiling Amsterdam's attempt to kill him] I want you all to meet the son of Priest Vallon. I took him under my wing and see how I'm repaid. He saved my life one day so he could kill me the next like a sneak thief, instead of fighting like a man. A base defiler, unworthy of a noble name. [pulls the knife out of Amsterdam's chest]

Amsterdam:
Oh, God! Jesus!

[Bill hits him in the face. Amsterdam falls to the floor and McGloin begins to search him for hidden weapons]

Bill:
That'll do, McGloin. Spread him out.

[Amsterdam is spread out on a table. Bill climbs on it with cleaver in his hand]

Bill:
This is fresh meat! You know what I mean? [drives a cleaver into the table] We need to tenderize this meat a bit. Alright, lets kiss goodnight to that pretty face of yours!

[Bill leans down and actually tries to kiss Amsterdam, who spits in his face. In response, Bill screams furiously and headbutts Amsterdam several times]

Jenny:
No!

Bill:
[stands up and grabs the cleaver] What'll it be then? Rib or chop? Loin or shank? [throws the cleaver up in the air; the cleaver is shown going up, and then falling, in slow motion, and eventually hits the table right next to Amsterdam's head]

Crowd:
The liver! The spleen! The kidney! The lung! The liver! The tongue! The heart! The heart!

Bill:
The heart? This boy has no heart.

Crowd:
Then kill him!

Bill:
He ain't earned a death! He ain't earned a death at my hands! He'll walk amongst you marked with shame. A freak! Worthy of Barnum's museum of wonders. God's only man, spared by the Butcher. [grabs a red-hot knife and burns a mark on Amsterdam's cheek]
