And it'll be our death too if we try to stop it. JOHNNY That's the truth. JENNY The truth is you don't give a damn about him. SHEENY MIKE Yeah, well, if he gave a damn about us he wouldn't have called out the Butcher in the first place. BILL THE BUTCHER What do you say? Loin or shank? Rib or chop? Come on, let me hear you!
