QUOTE: Mayor John Pattas (Al Pacino) to his boy Kevin Calhoon (John Cusack) in City Hall (1998): ' Menschkite, you know, something between men. It's about honor, caring... Untranslatable. That's why it's Yiddish.' And later: ' I'm talking menschkite, the stuff between men. You know, the there that's there, the thousand telephone calls, the bouquets, and the brick batchs. The space between a handshake. You know, the stuff that goes with you to your grave.'
