"Brooklyn's better."
"It hasn't got the skyscrapers like New York, has it?"
"No. But there's a feeling about it -- Oh, I can't explain it. You've got to live in Brooklyn to know."

"New York! I've always wanted to see it and now I've seen it. It's true what they say -- it's the most wonderful city in the world."
"Brooklyn's better."
"It hasn't got the skyscrapers like New York, has it?"
"No. But there's a feeling about it -- Oh, I can't explain it. You've got to live in Brooklyn to know."
