Rosetti: Look at me and look at you. We’ve got a lot in common, huh?
Chalky: Well, what’s that?
Rosetti: We both got left out in the sun too long. Maybe you a little longer, huh?

Eddie Kessler: Yes of course. A vife. Two boys.
Nucky: I don’t understand.
Kessler: Yes. Yes. Very famous. I teach you. (starts reciting “If” by Rudyard Kipling) If you can keep your head when all about are losing zeres and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too… (lapses into German), I can’t remember…
Nucky: Don’t trouble yourself. We’ll look it up later.
Kessler: When we are home. Ja.

Nucky: I’m not leaving. This is my town. I’m not leaving one way or the other.
Chalky: All due respect, General Custer. This ain’t no spot for a last stand.
