List of voters for the quote

Abe Hirsch: I know you've worked and waited a long time to get Leopold, that's common knowledge.Joe Dubbs: I'm not so sure a man like Leopold or what he represents is common knowledge, Abe, I'm not sure at all. Oh you think you know, the man in the street thinks he knows, but what is Leopold? A racketeer, a part of organized crime? Those are only labels, he's more than that and what he does is more dangerous, more subtle, more deadly. He's got money, it's easy for him to corrupt a public official like Deaver Wallace, but that's only one danger. Now look at it this way, Abe, if there were a way to take a predatory criminal like a burglar out of society, nobody'd miss him very much. But if the confederation of men who make up organized crime were suddenly obliterated and the racketeers, they'd be suddenly missed, seriously missed, badly missed, sadly missed. You know why? The public, the public keeps them in business and men like Leopold provide forbidden goods and services that the public demands: gambling, prostitution, loan sharking, those are the things that Leopold represents, and if we can get one of those monsters out of business, we're in business. And if you quote me, I'll kill you, [to Gallagher] and he'll help me. Right?Peter Gallagher: Right.
