- Hold it. Now, look who's talking. Journalists. Bunch of crazy buttinskies with dandruff on their shoulders and holes in their pants.

- Peeking through keyholes, waking people up in the middle of the night to ask them what they think about Aimee Semple McPherson.

- Stealing pictures off old ladies of their daughters that get raped in Oak Park. And for what? So a million shop girls and motormen's wives can get their jollies.

- And the next day, somebody wraps the front page around a dead mackerel.

- Don't knock it, Hildy.

- Where's your pride, where's your integrity?

- What's the newspaper business ever done for me?

Top rated lines from this movie

Don't you understand? The Bolsheviks are everywhere! They're taking over! They're coming out of the sewers like rats. Climbing up our flagpole and gnawing away at our Stars and Stripes!
Don't you know what it says on our masthead, right under the eagle? The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Get your head back in there, you goddamn turtle.
You and I will be running this town. They'll be naming streets after us.
Somebody answer me!
