About This Quote

Harvey Swick is a thief, but Harvey Swick's not. He's not. He's a thief, but not. He's a thief, but not.

He's a thief, but not! You know what I mean? That's what I'm saying. Harvey Swick is a thief, but Harvey Swick isn't one. The words used in the quote above are actually an altered version of the words "Harvey Swick is a thief, but he isn't one." The actual statement means that Harvey isn’t a criminal or a criminal mastermind. It is a statement about the fact that he is a law abiding citizen who goes about his daily life as if nothing were wrong with stealing from others and yet Harvey is no less of a criminal than he ever was.
