Walter Burns:
Why you drooling saphead! What do you mean a story? You've got the whole city by the seat of the pants!
Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
I know, but...
Walter Burns:
You know - you've got the brain of a pancake. Listen, Hildy, if I didn't have your interests at heart, would I be wasting time arguing with you now? You've done something big! You stepped into a new class!
Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
What?
Walter Burns:
Why, we'll make such monkeys out of those ward heels that nobody will vote for them, not even their wives!
Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
Expose 'em, huh?
Walter Burns:
Crucify 'em. We're gonna keep things under cover until the morning so The Post can break the story exclusive. Then we'll let the Governor and the Captain share the glory with 'em. Crucify 'em.
Hildebrand 'Hildy' Johnson:
I see! I see!
Walter Burns:
We'll kick over the whole city hall like an apple cart. We'll get the Mayor and Hartman against the wall. We'll put one administration out and another one in. Why, this isn't a newspaper story, it's a career! And you stand there belly-achin' about some girl.
