On the waterfront

TERRY

It wasn't him, Charley. It was you. Remember that night in the Garden? You came down to my dressing room and said, "Kid, this ain't your night. "We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night." My night! I could have taken Wilson apart! So what happens, he gets the title shot outdoors in the ball park... and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville! You was my brother, Charley. You should have looked out for me a little bit. You should've taken care of me a little so I wouldn't... have to take dives for short-end money.

CHARLEY
I always had a bet down for you. You saw some money.

TERRY
See! You don't understand!

CHARLEY
I tried to keep you in good with Johnny.

TERRY
You don't understand, I could have had class! I could have been a contender. I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum... which is what I am. Let's face it. It was you, Charley!

CHARLEY
Okay.
