Top rated lines from this movie

So, what is it, Bennie? What makes the difference? Hate. Hate is the word, Bennie. Hate the man who tries to beat you! Kill him, Bennie! Kill him!
You think this is mink? Do you think these are the skins of little wild animals sewn together for your pleasure? You're mistaken. These are skins of human beings. People who have been beaten, sold, robbed doped and murdered by Mr. Brown.
Now, Bennie, who runs the world? Have you any idea? -Not me, Mr. Brown. -That's right, not you. But a funny thing, they're not so much different from you.
You got a soft job and good pay. Stop thinking about what might have been. And who knows... You may live to die in bed. That's all, Joe.
First is first and second is nobody. (2)
