Oscar Apfel: S.J. Boynton

Quotes 

• Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : That's swell. You can take your firm and your stupid expedition and your movie rights and newspaper articles and radio speeches and do anything you please with them! I've felt for a long time that I was underpaid.

  S.J. Boynton : Underpaid?

  Scott 'Scotty' McClenahan : Yes, yes, I know. I got 80,000 dollars a year from you. Two years ago, I was broke. Then, I had an accident. i was hardly conscious before you were around me like a flock of buzzards trying to cash in on it. You've even taken my wife away from me, with your filthy ballyhoo! You've taken away every single blessed thing I care about. My privacy! My self-respect! My life! I made faces, I made speeches, I've shaken hands and drooled into microphones. Being a hero to me has just meant wishing I was dead! It's been a swell show, gentlemen. We've had a long run and collected a lot of dough. But, the show's over! Do you understand that! It's over! Finished! And I'm going home!
