Summary

This quote humorously remarks on the frequency of disagreements among New Yorkers. It suggests that New Yorkers are known for their assertive and argumentative nature, even to the extent that it is unusual for three individuals to agree on something, such as the destination in a cab. By linking this behavior to a bank robbery, it emphasizes the humorous stereotype of New Yorkers always having something to dispute or argue about.
