Quotes

[Tommy and Avram are in a saloon, where Tommy is sawing away at a huge steak, but Avram is too depressed to eat]

Tommy Now, look. You go up and change, and then we'll go together and we'll tell your people that the new rabbi's arrived. All right?

Avram I told you that I can't be a rabbi.

Tommy [Tommy hurls a piece of bread at him] Don't you tell me that. Just don't say that again. Not after what I've been through to get your goddamn ass here alive. If you hadn't have shot that man, then we'd both be dead. Do you understand that, you ignorant asshole? You do understand that? He was gonna kill you and then he was gonna kill me, am I right? When you shot that son of a bitch, that was not a sin. Then what the hell are we talking about?

Avram When those men were shooting at you, I ran to save the Torah.

Tommy So? I understand that. You're a man of God. I understand that.

Avram I wasn't thinking about God. I didn't do it because of God. I don't know one thing about God. I was thinking about a book. I cared more for a book than I did for my best friend. I don't know if you can understand that. I don't want to insult you. But do you understand what I mean? I chose a piece of paper instead of you!

Tommy But I forgive you.

Avram I know that you do.

Tommy But you're a good man!

Avram I am a good man. I am. But I'm not a rabbi.

Tommy Don't say that!

Avram Tommy, I'm not a rabbi.

Tommy Don't say that! You are a rabbi. I'm a bank robber. I'm a card player and a whoremonger. That's what I am. You are a rabbi. You can fall in the mud, you can slip on your ass, you can travel in the wrong direction. But even on your ass, even in the mud, even if you go in the wrong direction for a little while, you're still a rabbi! That's what you are!
