1: the gangs.
2-7: chatter
8: snap

57)
1: D...do you bastards know who you're dealing with?
2: I'm from the Grave Diggers...
3: bam
4: The Grave Diggers can kiss my ass.
5: twist
6: They may have had a lot of authority in the past, but now they're nothin' but a lowly Irish gang run by a bunch of old coots.
7: jab
8: Times've changed.
9: click
10: And now it's the age of the Iron Butterfly.

1-6: chatter
7: What're you looking at? This ain't no sideshow!
8: Clear the path!

59)
1: Sheeit...
2: klak
3: This is quite the spectacle we've got here.
4: Heheh...don't fret over it...it's give-and-take out here.
5: Here's this week's portion, then.
6: Yeah...thanks.
7: Money was capable of keeping gang crimes silent.
8: And so, debts formed between the corrupt government, police, and the gangs....
9: And the politicians and police used the gangs for bribes and vote buying.

1: Got work?
2(2b): bubble
3: Yeah.
4: Didn't you say you found a job yesterday?
5: How did it go?
6: This economic slump is really a bother...there isn't a single easy job left out there.
7: ...come on.
8: If that's what you're looking for, then we'll never be able to escape this hole.
9: Yeah...I know.

65)

Grave Diggers Founder:
Gene McDowell
1: ...now just hold on one minute,
2: Mr. Gene.
3: This is all you've got for this week?
4: We haven't been making much lately. This is as much as I can afford.
5: My, my. When the world-famous Grave Diggers go and become a bunch of lily livers?
6: stare...

68)
1: Anyway. I can't protect the lot o' ya with this.
2: You're not the only ones risking your livelihood, you know.
3: Now, I know it ain't easy.

8-9: plop
10: What's your point?

69)
1: Ain't got one.
2: Just saying, Iron Butterfly's really been racking it up lately. I'm envious.
3: What, then...
4: You want to start a war
5: with Iron Butterfly?
6: Hahahaha! I wouldn't go that far.
7: It's just, we officers of the law earn our wages from wiping the asses of men like you...all we want is a just price for our services.

70)
1: This man...
2: He's backing Iron Butterfly...
3-4: tap tap
5: And I hear he's rolling in it.
6: ...I see.
7: This has been one hell of a roundabout discussion.

71)
1: Are you asking me to kill him...?
2: Hahahaha! I may be corrupt,
3: but I'm still a police officer.
4: I wouldn't ask you to kill one of my own comrades.
5: It's just...if he were to disappear,
6: then I'd become the backer for Iron Butterfly.
7: And I wouldn't need to keep asking you for money.

72)
1: You're a smart man, Mr. Gene.
2: You should understand...

2: Leave me be.
3: And yet your little brother, Luke...
4: he's so young, yet he's got himself together...he's a fine boy.
5: Tell me just how you two were able to grow up so completely different.
6: Well, Auntie.
7: It's all because of his older brother's teachings.

6: Fuck!
7: Land of dreams my ass!
8: I can't believe you can keep doing this job without making a single complaint...doesn't it hurt?!
9: Hahaha. Of course it does. My body feels like it's about to fall apart.
10: ...but no matter how bad it hurts,

80)
1: Don't tell me...
2: you forgot?
3: Hey, Brad...
4: Hm?
5: Someday...
6: we'll get out of here, right?

81)
1: Then we'll find a big plot of land in the frontier.
2: A big plot of land just for you and me.
3: Yeah...
4: I know...

82)
"Help Wanted: No Irish Need Apply"...in America, a country of Protestants, the Catholic Irish were treated like scum, and discriminated against in the workplace...the only real jobs the hated Irish could work were hard labor jobs at the wharf and on the railroad, or use their inborn brawn in a gang.

1: ...that's
2: your next target.
3: A police officer...?

5: Heh! Why you always gotta make those creepy eyes?
6: Now I know why people call you the Grim Reaper.
7: We're counting on you,
8: Brad.

88)
1: Yeah.
