Quotes
-
Stephanie Rains : Ronald Reagan? That's a name, not an argument.
Chet Collier : Well, what do you think, Roger?
Roger Ailes : I'll talk to him. Get me a different liberal.
Stephanie Rains : That's your fix? We can't control every guest who comes on this show.
Roger Ailes : Yeah? Watch me.
Stephanie Rains : What about fair and balanced news?
Roger Ailes : I am balancing. I will get around to "fair" when Hannity gets better.
Ian Rae : And what if he doesn't?
Roger Ailes : Then Bill will write him a script.
Bill Shine : I can do that.
Stephanie Rains : What? No, you can't do that. This is a news network, not a sitcom.

Late Executive : What kind of sick joke is this? Really, 4:00 a.m.?
Roger Ailes : Sit down!
[after a moment of silence]
Roger Ailes : Anyone else want to complain about the hours? You know, there's a Foot Locker right across the road. I believe they work in eight-hour shifts. They might be hiring. Now, what I have seen in rehearsals so far, it's just unacceptable. Chet. You keep bringing me these so-called producers who don't seem to know the difference between their own asshole and a hole in the ground. You gotta train 'em up right, okay?
Chet Collier : Yes, Roger.
Roger Ailes : Moody. You're giving me scripts that read like "War and fucking Peace". It's television. Shorten them up. Okay?
John Moody : Yes, Roger.
Roger Ailes : Bill. Bill Shine. Now, Bill...
[clearing his throat]
Roger Ailes : This is my interpretation of recent events. You can correct me if you believe me to be wrong. But I just rescued your sorry ass from local news. And you're walking around like Mr. Magoo looking for his fucking dick in that control room. And I need you to be Bill fucking Shine and take control, okay?
[Bill nods]
Roger Ailes : Okay?
Bill Shine : Yes, Roger.
Roger Ailes : [pointing to the Late Executive] You're fired.
Late Executive : Are you serious?
Roger Ailes : I am. Please get the fuck outta here.
Ian Rae : Roger. That's enough.
Roger Ailes : What did you say?
Ian Rae : That's enough.
Roger Ailes : No. No, Ian, it's not enough, all right?
