Cabe: The Alderman's seat is yours, if you want it.
Sly: Yeah, I'm not going to take it.
Cabe: Why the hell not?
Sly: Because you want me to, and I don't listen to stupid people.
Cabe: Excuse me?!
Happy: You might want to say that kind of stuff from a distance, Sly.
Sly: No, I'm saying it to his face. Cabe, you are stupid. Allie is great. You like her, and she likes you, but you won't be with her just to try to protect me, and what she did doesn't even bother me anymore. That's stupid.
Cabe: So you'd give up being Alderman just to teach me a lesson?
Sly: I'm offering you a trade - I'll take the oath of office if you take Allie to dinner.
Cabe: You've turned into a hell of a negotiator.
