Text

Now Johnson, what the hell do you mean? Throwing things out of windows. Who do you think you are? You think you and Walter Burns are running this town! Well, I'm going to send a bill to the Examiner tomorrow for all the wreckage that's been committed around here in the past year! How do you like that? You stick your nose in this building tomorrow and I'll have you arrested! And I'll tell you another thing, and you can pass it on to Walter Burns! The Examiner don't get any tickets for this hanging after the lies they been printing! You can make up your story like you do everything else—out of whole cloth.

Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, The Front Page, Covici-Friede, 1928, pp. 59-60.
