Quote #10
POLK: There's word he's gonna run a con on the North Side here. We got a year-old Florida warrant on him, but it's a thin beef, and he can beat it in court unless we catch him cold.
When we first meet Polk, we assume he's an FBI agent trying to catch Gondorff. But that's just because we haven't learned our lesson yet, because nothing in this movie is what it seems to be. Polk is actually "Hickey," a conman friend of Henry Gondorff and the best part of his huge scheme.
