Quotes 

• Thomas J. Finley, Jr. : You surprise me, Ben. For a man who's smart enough to run a big daily newspaper, you sure surprise me. Can't you recognize New York, Red propaganda when you see it?

• Boss Finley : Burnin' books, Halloween masks. You're just plain stupid, boy. Least you could've done is wear white hoods and burned a cross on his lawn. Then the Ku Klux Klan would've been blamed for it.

  Thomas J. Finley, Jr. : Oh, my.

  Boss Finley : You better stop laughin' at nothin' or you'll end up in a nuthouse, committed there by me.

• Alexandra Del Lago : Do you want me to call the police?

  Thomas J. Finley, Jr. : All right, you go ahead. Do that, Miss Del Lago. You tell them you spent the night in an orgy with a criminal degenerate.

• Thomas J. Finley, Jr. : This is the Assistant Manager and I am Tom Finley, Jr.

  Alexandra Del Lago : Well, I hardly imagined that you were a senior.
