[Capone has a gun on Van Alden and has given him 30 seconds to explain himself]

Nelson Van Alden:
I've worked for you for seven years. I set up Dean O'Banion. I make my number every week. Maybe I'm a federal agent, maybe I'm a bigamist, maybe I'm a murderer on the run. Believe what you want, there's no way I can stop you. But that's not what matters now.

Al Capone:

Nelson Van Alden:
[indicating Luciano] What matters is that this man comes in from out of town and starts telling Capone what to do about Capone's business in Capone's house? You ask me, that's pretty goddamn disrespectful.

[After a moment, Capone lowers the gun]

Al Capone:
[to Luciano] You can rule by fear, or you can rule by love. Remember that, if you're ever in charge. Get him a drink.

[D'Angelo leads Van Alden out]

D'Angelo:
You've got a pair.

Nelson Van Alden:

Nelson Van Alden:
I need a men's room.

D'Angelo:
You gonna be sick?

Nelson Van Alden:
I may have soiled myself,
