“You say was it worth it? Child, you wonder does crime pay? I’ll tell you, yes. It pays a helluva lot of money. And money is something. I don’t care who you are, when you got money you can get a lot of doors open because there’s always some larcenous heart who’s gonna listen to you. And when you show ‘em that money . . . if you got a wad, honey, they’ll suck up to ya like you was a Tootsie Roll.”-Queen of D.C.
