Connie Allenbury : Oh, thanks. I didn't know your paper thought I had one.
Warren Haggerty : Oh, Now, now. Miss Allenbury, if you go through with this case, it's going to throw 500 people out of employment. Men and women, jobless, walking the streets - women like yourself, tired and cold and hungry. Driven to drink and ruin.
Connie Allenbury : You write the editorials, don't you?
