Lou Jacobi: Harry Tannenbaum

Quotes 

• Harry Tannenbaum : You know, the first eight or nine times I was robbed I took it personal. I thought it was a prejudice thing. You know, Tannenbaum. So I put a sign up in the window: "Tannenbaum Means Christmas Tree." You know, like the song. A fellow comes in with a gun, looks at the sign, and says, "Okay, stick up your branches! One move and I'll blow your bulbs off!"

• Harry Tannenbaum : When the temperature gets over 90, the crazies come out of the cracks. Believe me, I know.

  Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz : Then why don't you buy a gun?

  Harry Tannenbaum : I made a deal with the mayor. I don't buy guns, and cops don't sell corned beef.
