Skeeters : If it wasn't for graft, you'd get a very low type of people in politics. Men without ambition. Jellyfish.
Catherine : Especially since you can't rob the people anyway.
Skeeters : Sure. How was that?
Catherine : What you rob, you spend, and what you spend goes back to the people. So, where's the robbery? I read that in one of my father's books.
Skeeters : That book should be in every home.

Skeeters : What do you think this is, Hicks Corners? Some people is too lazy to vote, that's all. They don't like this kind of weather. Some of 'em is sick in bed and can't vote. Maybe a couple of 'em croaked recently. That ain't no reason why Mayor Tillinghast should get cheated out of their support. All we're doing is getting out the vote.
