Edward Mulhare: Capt. Daniel Gregg

Quotes 

• Frank Donaldson : Well, there's an old saying, lady. I love old sayings. I love a good old... Here's one: "You can't fight city hall."

  Carolyn Muir : Who says I can't?

  Frank Donaldson : Oh, well, uh, you can try but, uh, that's like tryin' to make the sun stop shining.

  [a storm immediately appears, raining only on Frank Donaldson] 

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : What else do you think we can't do?

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : Madam, in my day there was a beautiful home here called the Mansion House. The government decided to raze it for a proposed new harbor by the same right of eminent domain. It went to court. Those who loved it argued in vain. The court ruled against them as it will against you, and the final irony was that the new harbor was never built.

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : Elephants and ghosts never forget.
