Has anyone ever heard of the word, 'quill', being defined as: the best, most proficient and talented, like 'top notch'?
Harold Gould uses the word, 'quill', in the movie, 'The Sting', when he is at the bar where he picks out the best men to work the con.
Kid Twist (Harold Gould): "Gondorff is setting up a wire store on the north side. I'm gonna need a twenty man boost right away."
Dukey: "I've got plenty of talent out there tonight. You can take your pick."
Kid Twist: "This is a tough one, Dukey. These guys have gotta be the 'quill'."
Dukey: (directs comment to Lace)"Get me the sheet."
(to Kid Twist) "We'll see who's in town."
Thanks everyone,
Sardith
