Ace High (1968)

Kevin McCarthy: Drake

Quotes 

• [Cat, Hutch, Caco and Thomas are about to duel with Drake's gang] 

  Cacopoulos : Wait a minute, wait a minute! Fifteen years, I've dreamed of this moment. Fifteen years! Every night. *Every* night!

  Cat Stevens : And so?

  Cacopoulos : There's always music. The music of violins. A slow, sweet... waltz. I want music!

  Hutch Bessy : He wants music.

  [to the casino musicians] 

  Hutch Bessy : Play it!

  Cat Stevens : [the musicians begin to play a Viennese Waltz]  Need anything else?

  [Caco shakes his head, smiling] 

  Drake : Clown.

• Drake : Now, Maurice. I beg of you to make an exception in this case. After all... the color of a man's skin is sometimes nothing compared to, well, a specimen like this. A lice-infected jailbird, who walks in -where he obviously doesn't belong - and takes over as if he owns the place. Am I right... Cacopoulos? Or, whatever the hell it is you call yourself now? Am I right? Is that a man... a *real* man? Hm?

  Cacopoulos : [close to tears]  But... but you were once my friend!

  Drake : You hear that, Maurice? You tell me if it's possible. As far as I know, the only feeling you could possibly arouse is one of, eh... pity.
