"Yeah, I know who you are, greaseball. And if you don’t get back to the end of that fucking line, I’m gonna know who you were." Bank Robber James Lucas to Al Capone, in Alcatraz

During his early months at Alcatraz, Capone made an enemy by showing his disregard for the prison social order when he cut in line while prisoners were waiting for a haircut. James Lucas, a Texas bank robber serving 30 years, reportedly confronted the former syndicate leader and told him to get back at the end of the line. When Capone asked if he knew who he was, Lucas reportedly grabbed a pair of the barber's scissors and, holding them to Capone's neck, answered “Yeah, I know who you are, greaseball. And if you don't get back to the end of that fucking line, I'm gonna know who you were.”
