"How dare you think that you should ever have been put in the position to decide the fate of others?" "That is a mantle to be worn only by the great, not by a man who wormed his way into City Hall for a period of time." "You're a chapter, a portrait, a handful of legislation, a thousand lies, and yet you cling to power, falsely believing you actually possess it."

"The stain will be permanent." " There's no way around that." " ( High-frequency whining )" "Oversight will be required for his recovery..." "Or lack thereof." "( Echoes ) Gentlemen." "( Beeping )" "( Electricity crackling )" "The riots may be over..." "You piece of shit." "But not the fallout." "What do you want, money?" "No, that's a vile accusation!" ""What do you want, Barbara?"" " ( Electricity crackling )" " Oh, there's my girl." " I don't understand." " That makes two of us." "Where'd you get the urine?" "Where did I get it?" "Don't bullshit a bullshitter." "My guy at the lab says you could date-rape Godzilla with that cocktail in your system." "Bulbocapnine... some kind of inhibitor drug that suppresses reflexes and muscle activity." "Used to induce a severe stupor." "There something you wanna share?" "Okay, I'll tell you what... the police are stretched pretty thin today." "I'm on call to help out." "Maybe there's a way that I don't violate you between now and the next appointment."

"In hindsight it was" " Tom's first mistake as mayor." " But not his last." "I would like to prevent the same mistake from happening twice, and only your office has the power to reach both city and state." "I'd like to hear it from him." "You will in due time." "On my honor." "Mac:" "As the outgoing governor of this great State, it is with pride and regret that one of my last actions in office will be a deployment of the National Guard to quell the strife in Chicago... regret that such a situation ever came to this," "but pride that we the people of Illinois would face it head on." "I've been in touch with the mayor's office there and will remain so until the unrest has fully subsided." "She pulled the trigger on this?" "I don't think you'll be disappointed by the mayor's inevitable reaction." "While State Senator Walsh and I have had our disagreements in the past, her proposed bill denying felons the right to vote can't reach my desk fast enough." "Did he just endorse Walsh for governor?" "Those responsible for the crimes of the past two days in Chicago will have no say in who their future leaders are." "Thank you." "Reporter:" "As many as 4,000 national guardsmen have arrived..."

"The papers on your table..." "Rosebud." "Okay." "That's who leaked the Bensenville document, right?" "I'm pretty sure the handwriting's Stone's." " Doctor:" "Tell me what you see."
