The Devil Made Me Do It (2003)

Richard Gilliland: Mayor Albert Dunbar

Quotes 

• Mayor Albert Dunbar : The people have spoken. Allan Burns is a hero. Gabe has informed you of my wishes in this matter?

  Will Girardi : Oh, yes, sir. He's very good at that.

  Mayor Albert Dunbar : Then why didn't you behave accordingly?

  Will Girardi : [considering his answer]  There's a problem in this town.

  Mayor Albert Dunbar : Enlighten me.

  Will Girardi : You like to handle everything through back channels. You want to decide this case here or in an office or on the pages of a newspaper instead of in a jury room. You lack faith in the system. Now, either it's because you don't give people credit for being able to deal with complicated matters, or it's because confusion works for you.

  Mayor Albert Dunbar : All right. Then let me be very clear. At the end of your probation period, your employment will be terminated.

  Will Girardi : I'm pretty sure the police commission will have something to say about that.

  Mayor Albert Dunbar : Oh, I don't know about that, Girardi. As you say, I don't give a damn about the system. You have about six months to find another job.
