Soon after the ferris wheel on Pier 57 opens, I will recreate that famous scene from one of the greatest films in the history of cinema, The Third Man.
Of course, I will play Orson Welles (Harry Lime).
Harry Lime: Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don’t. Why should we? They talk about the people and the proletariat, I talk about the suckers and the mugs – it’s the same thing. They have their five-year plans, so have I.
Martins: You used to believe in God.
Harry Lime: Oh, I still do believe in God, old man. I believe in God and Mercy and all that. But the dead are happier dead. They don’t miss much here, poor devils.
