Nucky: When you were 10 years old — 11, maybe — I don’t know if you’ll even remember this. President Taft came to town. You were in the crowd. I suppose you were with your dad, but you turned to me and said, “Nuck, what’s a fella gotta do to become President.” I said “Well, you’ve gotta study. Learn everything you can about the world and do a lot of hard work.” And you looked up at me in disbelief and said “Gee, is that all?” I used to think you’d own the world one day. You were like that kid in the Alger story — Ragged Dick. You did everything right…
Jimmy Darmody: Nuck, I’ll do whatever you want…
