Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Has anyone ever said no to a drink with you, Pete?
Pete Conley: Well, sure. But the trick is to keep asking.
-
Pete Conley: You know, you got a lot of people here who respect you, Robby.
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Oh, well..
Pete Conley: The work you do.
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: That's good to know.
Pete Conley: Well, it's 'cause you care about this place.
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Yeah.
Pete Conley: It's why you do what you do. It's who you are. You know, but people need the Church more than ever right now. You know, you can feel it. And the cardinal, um... you know, the cardinal, he might not be perfect. But we can't throw out all the good he's doing over a few bad apples. Now, you know, I'm bringing this up to you because I know this is Baron's idea. His agenda. I gotta tell you, I mean, honest to God, I mean, he doesn't care about this city the way we do. I mean, how could he?
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: This is how it happens, isn't it, Pete?
Pete Conley: What's that?
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: A guy leans on a guy, and suddenly the whole town just looks the other way.
Pete Conley: Robby. Robby. Lookit. Marty Baron is just trying to make his mark. He's gonna be here for a couple of years and he's gonna move on. Just like he did in New York and Miami. Where are you gonna go?
