Hildy Johnson:
What is the lowdown on it?
Walter Burns:
Oh, it's simple, honey. A poor little dope who lost his job and went berserk and shot a cop who was coming after him to quiet him down. And now they're going to hang him tomorrow.
Hildy Johnson:
Oh, what a shame.
Bruce Baldwin:
Your paper, you've been taking his side, haven't you?
Walter Burns:
Mmm-hmm.
Bruce Baldwin:

Walter Burns:

Hildy Johnson:
Mmm-hmm. The colored votes very important in this town.
Walter Burns:
Yeah, especially with an election coming up in three or four days.
Hildy Johnson:
That Mayor, he'd hang his own grandmother to be reelected.
