Lloyd Corrigan: The Mayor
Quotes
-
Aloysius : [reaming the Mayor out over the phone] I have enough stuff in my private files, stuff relating to civic building, road contracts, harbor and cannery projects, enough stuff to put you, the D.A., myself, and a two-thirds majority behind bars for the next twenty years! And I give you my word, that's *exactly* where everybody's going, unless things start happening now!
The Mayor : [the voice on the other end of the phone] Like what, for instance?
Aloysius : I want the pension for Culpeper's grade trebled. Not doubled, trebled! I want Culpeper to retire with honor. I want it on paper that that's exactly what's going to happen. And I want it in my hands in fifteen minutes, or I'll have all the reporters in town in here in twenty!
Aloysius : [suddenly speaking in a sweet tone] You know the word for this, Your Honor. It's called blackmail.
