Welcome to New York, ad-free.

This is not a story about an old man in bifocals at the center of a revolution,

but rather another tale of a boy who had no idea he'd one day wind up on the hundred dollar bill.

I didn't even know if I'd survive my first day in New York,

or my first encounter with Danny Quinn and his dirty dolls.

My friend Jack warned me New York could be an unwelcoming place,

but I hardly expected such abysmal hospitality.

Can I drop him in the river now, Danny? Can I?

Hold your horses.

What does it mean? You can tame lightning.

On my way into your warehouse, I noticed a roll burnt out buildings.

Half the wharf went open flames during a lightning storm last summer.

Not surprised.

You're a businessman, aren't you, Mr. Quinn?

Well, I ain't the king of New York. Not yet.

And you've probably already noticed that this old place is a tinderbox.

Another bonfire, waiting for a spark.
