Quote context

[...]

- When we were first married, she was working at WJW, doing singing commercials for a linoleum company.

- There was this band... Gus Gilroy and his Gaslighters. She...cut an audition record with them. And the next thing I knew, she'd run off to New York with that Gilroy character.

- She was gonna make it big.

- Did she?

- If she did, the news hasn't reached Cleveland.

- I tried for a year, very hard, to get her out of my mind. I worked at it day and night. I figured I'd never see her again.

- Just imagine, right now she's stepping on an airplane in New York, and in a few minutes, she's going to take off.

- Hey, Nureyev, you're gonna wear out your batteries. Now, cut it out! You're not a well man.

- I've been trying to reach you all morning. Where you been?

- Where have I been? I've been working, talking to witnesses, getting depositions, looking out for your interests.

- I've interviewed every person who was sitting between the 20 and 40-yard lines, gotten signed statements from groundskeepers, looked at miles of television tape, instant replays, isolated camera.

- In this business, you gotta be on your toes every minute, thinking, anticipating, always keeping one step ahead of the other guy.
