Tommy: [Tommy felt unconscious and almost bleed to death, after being shot by the group of muggers] Hah, we made it... We got rid of them.
Carlo Antonelli: Hah, you bet your ass.
Tommy: [Carlo put unconscious Tommy aside from the bulldozer] The garage. I deserve... my down payment, huh?
Carlo Antonelli: You sure do. We are going to open the biggest garage of all time. You'll be famous. Big Tommy, a real personality, and all the girls will come to your garage just to see Big Tommy!
Tommy: [still straining] Jesus... What a big garage you found...
Carlo Antonelli: Yeah.
Tommy: It's the biggest place... I've ever seen.
Carlo Antonelli: [in tears] And we'll fill it with cars. There'll be so many, there won't be room to work. Over there... Over there we'll put the race cars. The bodyworks will go over there. And the motors, you can fix in that corner. And we'll pipe in music.There will be a beautiful waiting room, and,
Carlo Antonelli: [Tommy dies] ... and we'll have a place for snacks. What do you think, partner?

I had the opportunity to visit the locations at Genoa where "Il cittadino si ribella" was shot, and it's quite amazing how much they could shoot on the main road along the sea - if that is blocked by a film team, the whole inner city is cut off as you hardly can drive on the narrow streets around. So they must have made those car chases in the middle of an unsuspecting public - bet you need nerves of steel, driving a car in Italy.
