Once Upon a Time in America Quote

[ last lines ]
Secretary Bailey : [ checking his pocket watch ] It's 10: 25. And I've got nothing left to lose. When you've been betrayed by a friend, you hit back. Do it. [ Noodles is still and silent for a long time ]
Noodles : You see, Mr Secretary... I have a story also, a little simpler than yours. Many years ago, I had a friend, a dear friend. I turned him in to save his life, but he was killed. But he wanted it that way. It was a great friendship. But it went bad for him, and it went bad for me too. Good night, Mr Bailey. [ He looks at the man in front of him for the last time ]
Noodles : I hope the investigation turns out to be nothing. It'd be a shame to see a lifetime of work go to waste. [ He leaves, with Max looking after him with remorse and sorrow ]
