“How can we live again Johnny, we dead.”
“What about Crate?”
“You said I died.”
“You did.”
“So we can’t live again.”
“Crate means something Gus, something about you.”
“Be clear Johnny.”
“The thirty Thousand is our dream Yank.”
“I know.”
“You had dreams too, the dreams of Augustus Kotka.”
“I don’t remember them.”

“You had dreams too then, the dreams of Jonathan Rebel.”
“Yank, like Knowbody said, it’s time, time we live the ‘Merican dream.”
“The thirty Thousand.”
“Right.”
“And see where the Constitution leads Johnny.”
“It matters ‘cuz it’s true.”
“Speaking of true, what about Tell-Lie-Vision.”
“What about it?”
“Tell-Lie-Vision and the thirty Thousand?”

“And?”
“Let’s go see Thunderbolt.”
“Idea excellent.”
“After you Gus.”
“Okay … and bye Lil Man …”
