[first lines]

Sgt. John O'Mara: Every man carries a badge. Some symbol of his allegiance. His were the scars of a boxer who'd used his fists to climb the social ladder of the mob. A Jew who'd gained the respect of wops through a homicidal lust. He'd sworn an oath of violence. And his master? His own insatiable will to power. He wanted to own this town. His name was Mickey Cohen.
Lt. Quincannon: Two things you can't take back on this job, kid. Bullets out of your gun, and words out of your mouth.

Hatchetman: You can't shoot me, you're a cop.

Sgt. Jerry Wooters: Not anymore.
Bridge Goon: You are dead, pal. You - are - all - dea...

Mickey Cohen: My dog, Mickey Junior... he shits more trouble than you're gonna give me.
Mickey Cohen: [eating his last meal] I like having only one fork. You never make the wrong decision.
Mickey Cohen: You heard of Manifest Destiny? That's when you take what you can when you can. The greasers took it from the redskins and we took it from them. And I'm gonna take it all from you, Jack, and not just because I can. But because this is my destiny. Los Angeles is my fucking destiny, you motherfucker.
Mickey Cohen: Story of my life. Some bum's always trying to steal what's mine.
Grace Faraday: What's your racket, handsome?

It's a pity that this plot is really fake. Five people went straight to Huanglong. After sacrificing two teammates, they killed the gang boss who had been in the arena for many years.
