Quotes of Movie: Ace in the Hole [1951]
|
I can handle big news and little news. And if there's no news, I'll go out and bite a dog. I've met a lot of hard-boiled eggs in my time, but you - you're twenty minutes. I don't pray. Kneeling bags my nylons. We're all in the same boat. Charles Tatum: I'm in the boat. You're in the water. Now let's see how you can swim. | |

Bad news sells best. Cause good news is no news. How'd you like to make a thousand dollars a day, Mr. Boot? I'm a thousand-dollar-a-day newspaperman. You can have me for nothing. I've done a lot of lying in my time. I've lied to men who wear belts. I've lied to men who wear suspenders. But I'd never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both belt and suspenders. It's a good story today. Tomorrow, they'll wrap a fish in it. Mr. Boot, I was passing through Albuquerque; had breakfast here. I read your paper and thought you might be interested in my reaction. Jacob Q. Boot: Indeed I am. Charles Tatum: Well, to be honest, it made me throw up. I don't mean to tell you I was expecting the New York Times, but even for Albuquerque, this is pretty Albuquerque. Jacob Q. Boot: Alright, here's your nickel back. Where's my desk? Jacob Q. Boot: The one by the door. You may be out of here by Saturday. Charles Tatum: Sooner the better. Hey you! Sheriff wants to see you, down at the trading post. Don't waste any of his time 'cause he ain't staying around long. Maybe you ain't either. Charles Tatum: You don't say? Deputy Sheriff: You wanna know something? He don't like you. Charles Tatum: And I was going to propose to him. You're that Tatum guy that was popping off over the phone last night! Charles Tatum: I wasn't popping off, Sheriff; I was threatening. "Play along with me and you'll get re-elected. Don't, and I'll crucify you," that's what I said, remember? Sheriff: I think I'll have my boys take you down to the county line and throw you out! Charles Tatum: Throw out your campaign manager? You need plenty of help. Sheriff: And maybe before I throw you out, I'll toss you into the 'Klink' for awhile! I don't belong in your office. Not with that embroidered sign on the wall; it gets in my way. Jacob Q. Boot: Then it does bother you a little. Charles Tatum: Not enough to stop me. I'm on my way back to the top, and if it takes a deal with a crooked sheriff, that's alright with me! And if I have to fancy it up with an Indian curse and a broken hearted wife for Leo, then that's alright too! When they bleached your hair, they must have bleached your brain too. | |
