J. Edgar Hoover:
John Dillinger held up a bank for $74,000 while you failed to arrest Nelson.
Melvin Purvis:
Sir, I take full responsibility. And I would like to make a request. That we transfer men with special qualifications to augment the staff here in Chicago. There are some former Texas and Oklahoma lawmen currently with the Bureau in Dallas.
J. Edgar Hoover:
I thought you understood what I'm building. A modern force of professional young men of the best sort.
Melvin Purvis:
I'm afraid our type cannot get the job done.
J. Edgar Hoover:
Excuse me, I cannot hear you.
Melvin Purvis:
Our type cannot get the job done.
J. Edgar Hoover:
[dropping the hint more insistently]
I cannot hear you.
Melvin Purvis:
[more firmly]
Our type cannot get the job done. Without qualified help, I would have to resign this appointment. Otherwise, I am leading my men to slaughter.
