The Last Hurrah (1958)

John Carradine: Amos Force

Quotes 

• Bishop Gardner : [to Skeffington]  Aren't you being a bit too Irish? Certainly what you said may have been true once - the jealousy, the resentment we old-time Yankees had for your people when you first began crowding in. I'd say it was natural enough. But look at what's been happening. Our boys and girls are going to the same schools and colleges. They're intermarrying, raising families.

  Amos Force : No child of mine will ever marry one of them.

  Bishop Gardner : That's not surprising Amos, considering that you're a bachelor.

• Amos Force : You bungled it! You should've applied pressure! His endorsement would've meant everything!

  Norman Cass, Sr. : What pressure do you suggest? Burning a fiery cross in his front lawn? Stop talking nonsense.
