Quotes 

• Ralph Bowen, U.S. Senator : Will you accept some advice, Mr. Keller?

  Inspector Steve Keller : Sure.

  Ralph Bowen, U.S. Senator : Let Fred Marshall rest in peace.

  Inspector Steve Keller : That's exactly the same advice I got from Marshall's assistant.

  Ralph Bowen, U.S. Senator : And with good reasons.

  Inspector Steve Keller : I'd like to know them.

  Ralph Bowen, U.S. Senator : Oh, come now. You've seen them all your life. The people love a good smear campaign. They delight in having someone's name dragged through the mud.

  Inspector Steve Keller : And that's the same public that's elected you to Washington all these years, isn't it, Senator? Just seems strange that you above all people wouldn't respect their ability to tell the difference between a lie and the truth.
