Opening lines
Does anybody have/know the exact lines said by the Old Timer (Frank Craven) in the beginning of the movie.
The words he used to describe New York was just beautiful, pure poetry.
"There's no welcome sign in New York. You get off a freight train and the
railroad bulls slap you around for the exercise. Every day, the big parade comes in shaking their fists....but nobody gives them a welcome....Seven million people, fighting, biting, clawing away to get one foot on a ladder
that'll take them to a penthouse. They come by the thousands, every which way.
By water, by wheel, by foot, by ferry, by tunnel, by tube....." (Yada, yada,
yada. That poor policeman).
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!
Hewwo.
