He was at his quotable best while jousting with George Wayne on VF's Q & A page.
When Wayne asked him about his love for "gin-and-tonics," Oscar corrected him.

Wayne brought up Goodman's mob-defending days, saying, "You've defended them every step of the way."
The mayor shot back: "The 'alleged' mobsters. Don't call them 'mobsters.' They will find you."
