• [wildly cheering crowd on the political convention floor] 

  Katrin Holstrom : What are they yelling about?

  Joseph Clancy : These days they yell for anything.

  Katrin Holstrom : Anything?

  Joseph Clancy : Sure, they'll scream if you yell "Fish for sale!"

  Katrin Holstrom : Aw, no.

  Joseph Clancy : [Stands up and yells]  Fish for sale!

  [the crowds roars] 

• Anders Finley : Exactly right, Mrs. Morley. I guess I know where you stand.

  [Clancy has had enough. He moves menacingly towards Finley] 

  Joseph Clancy : [to Finley, angrily]  Either you're leaving this house now or I'm going to throw you out!

  Agatha Morley : [Mockingly]  Joseph! How dare you talk to one of my guests like that!

  [Clancy is flabbergasted. Finley smiles. Mrs. Morley is a true convert, that's obvious] 

  Joseph Clancy : [to Mrs. Morley]  You're not serious about this?

  Agatha Morley : Joseph...

  [Reprovingly to Clancy] 

  Agatha Morley : ... I'm afraid we will have to speak about this later.

  Joseph Clancy : [Haughtily]  Mrs. Morley, I'm not accustomed to speakin' about things later.

  Agatha Morley : [to Finley, smiling, pleasantly]  Mr. Finley, I'm afraid I'll have to let Joseph throw you out.
