Charley Grapewin: Mr. Bane

Quotes 

• Warren Haggerty : [introducing]  Mr. Bane, my future wife.

  Mr. Bane : Nonsense! I'll be in my office. Get rid of this woman!

• Mr. Bane : Hey, didn't they tell you I wanted to see you? Say, what is this? Do I own a paper or a lunatic asylum?

  Gladys : You just took the words right out of my mouth.

• Warren Haggerty : And I'm gonna bring in the best guy we ever had on a libel suit.

  Mr. Bane : Who's that?

  Warren Haggerty : A guy that I guarantee to beat anybody in the world from Ghandi to Garbo - Bill Chandler.

  Mr. Bane : Bill Chandler? Yes. And you fired him - the best man we ever had on libel. You admit it and you fired him.

  Warren Haggerty : Yes, and I'd do it again. He was a heel, a demented double-crossing heel. Tried to run the whole paper. Thought he knew more about it than I did.

  Mr. Bane : And was right.

  Warren Haggerty : Yeah.

• Mr. Bane : Appeal to her reason!

  Warren Haggerty : She has no reason... This is Connie Allenbury, the international playgirl, the spoiled daughter of the rich without a brain in her head! But I know how to handle her kind. I'm gonna throw myself on her mercy. I'm gonna appeal to her heart. I'm gonna pull out stops. Give her the sob stuff!
