- Steve Lonegan: Colonel, a man never lived who didn't do something he wouldn't want in a newspaper. I'm going back into Pomeroy's private life. I'll get something on him, even if it's nothing worse than a blonde. And when I do, I'll threaten to plaster it over that front page unless he withdraws that suit.
- Colonel Jasper White: But, Steve, that's blackmail!
- Steve Lonegan: Sure it is. Do you mind?
- Colonel Jasper White: I love it.
