Quotes 

• Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : [upon leaving J.L.'s office after being fired]  I'll be suing you.

• Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : When Nellie arrives, give her an all-day sucker and tell her to wait for Papa.

• Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : I once knew a gal named Krale. A swell gal! She and me used to go out ringing doorbells together. Good ole Gerry Krale. A one-time ace reporter - with a rep from coast to coast as the best newspaperman in skirts.

  Gerry Krale : Never mind the knife. What's on your mind, if any?

• Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : You have your supper yet?

  Young Reporter : No, sir. I was just about to...

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : There's a swell place over on tenth street. Get some hot coffee, some fried potatoes, a big plate of scrambled eggs and brains for a quarter.

  Young Reporter : Why?

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : When you eat that, you'll have more brains in your belly than you got in your head.

• Harvey Dawes : Still running high.

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : Sure! High wired and handsome!

• Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : Miss Krale, when you have less time and can't stay so long, come in and see me. But, don't make it too often! I'm a busy man.

  Gerry Krale : Man?

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : You heard me.

  Gerry Krale : Okay, Nellie.

• Harvey Dawes : Boy, oh, boy. Can you imagine the stink that's gonna raise? The head of the Governor's Investigating Committee takes a powder with the hard earned dough of the poor working class.

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : And did they pin it on Canfield?

  Harvey Dawes : Why, sure. It's simple. No dough, no Canfield. Just like putting two and two together.

• Gerry Krale : How goes it, Heart Throbs?

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : [sarcastically]  Why, how do you do? Come on in. Have this tease. You're just in time to hear old Doc Bradshaw on love through the ages. For love is that beautiful thing...

  Gerry Krale : You know, I believe you actually go for that hooey.

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : I simply adore it.

  Gerry Krale : Idiot.

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : Look, baby, this love is a great thing, no kidding. You ought to go in for it sometime. Before you get too old.

  Gerry Krale : Yeah, you keep your advice for your column where its needed most.

• Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : Hi, Nellie! I've got some good news for you.

  Gerry Krale : Any news that you've got for me is bad news.

• Harvey Dawes : Brad, you're throwing away the biggest story.

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : I'm running this clambake! Get that!

• J.L. Graham : When are you coming back to work?

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : When they grow whiskers on billiard balls.

• Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : Beware of the green eyed monster. If you love the girl, you must have faith in her. You must trust her - implicitly. And, listen, kid, if you catch her at it again, give her a kick in the pants and go find yourself another babe.

  Louie : Thanks!

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : And, keep her out of Brooklyn.

  Louie : That's what I thought too. Gee, you're a wise guy, Nellie.

• O'Connell : You still in the doghouse?

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : Yeah. That's the breaks you get.

  O'Connell : Why don't you get wise to yourself, Bradshaw. You could cut yourself in for a lot of dough if you wanted to play with the right people.

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : Trying to throw me a bone?

  O'Connell : Couldn't you use one?

  Samuel N. Bradshaw aka Brad : Yeah - if it's not too dirty.
