Quotes

Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : Ted, did Christine happen to tell you I'm running for state assembly?
Ted : Yes, and I plan on giving you every consideration.
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : Damn it, man, I need *money*!
Ted : I'm sorry, I make it a policy never to involve myself in political campaigns. When you're in land development, it looks like you're currying favor.
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : Hey, if I'm elected, I promise I won't do anything for you.

[after turning down Dan's request for a campaign contribution]
Ted : I'm sure you'll find support somewhere.
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : You bet I will! Let me tell you something, I wouldn't be running for public office if I didn't think there was somebody out there who would want to buy me!

[last lines]
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : [sees an envelope] All right, hallelujah! Cynthia Dalbey! The fruits of compromise. This is just the grease we need to get the Fielding campaign machine roaring again!
Christine Sullivan : I can't believe you spent the night with that woman just for a campaign contribution.
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : I did it for the people.
[opens the envelope and looks at the check]
Asst. D.A. Dan Fielding : *Twenty bucks*? Who does that overstuffed potato think I am?
Rosalind 'Roz' Russell : [reading a note that came with the check] This might explain it. "Dear Dan, you're no Jack Kennedy."
