One day your guy gets wise to himself and gets back that gun. Or, if he's only got a buck then, he goes up to the Empire State Building, way up on top and then... Or he can do it for a nickel, in a subway under a train.

— Nat (Howard Da Silva)

Quote context

[...]

- You don't know me, Don. I'm going to fight and fight and fight. Bend down.

- That was three years ago, Nat. That's a long time to keep fighting, to keep believing.

- She knows she's clutching a razor blade but she won't let go. Three years of it.

- And what? How does it come out?

- I don't know. Haven't figured that far.

- Want me to tell ya?

- One day your guy gets wise to himself and gets back that gun. Or, if he's only got a buck then, he goes up to the Empire State Building, way up on top and then... Or he can do it for a nickel, in a subway under a train.

- You think so, Nat?

- What if Helen is right, and this guy sits down and turns out something good, but good... and that pulls him up and snaps him out of it?

- This guy? Not from where I sit.

- Oh, shut up, Nat. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it now. It's all there. You heard it.

- Yes, Mr. Birnam.

- That's why I didn't go away on that weekend, see, so I can be alone up there and sit down at my typewriter.

- This time I'm going to do it, Nat. I'm going to do it.

- Maybe you will.

- Thank you, Nat.

Top rated lines from this movie

You know the circle is the perfect geometric figure. No end, no beginning...

Two bottles of rye. -What brand? -You know what brand, Mr. Brophy. The cheapest. None of that twelve year old, aged-in-the-wood chichi. Not for me. Liquor is all one, anyway.

Or it maybe Sunday. That's the worst. No liquor stores at all. And you guys wouldn't open a bar, not until one o'clock. Why? Why, Nat? -Because we gotta go to church once in a while. That's why. -Yeah, when a guy needs it most.

See that guy over there? With him it's beetles. Come the night, he sees beetles crawling all over him. Has to be dark, though.

Come on. I need that liquor, I want it, I'm going to get it, understand. I'm going to walk out of here with that quart of rye, one way or another.
