Sienna Miller: Beth Ailes

Quotes 

• Beth Ailes : Annual invite from Warren, Ohio. The Veterans' Memorial Association inviting you to speak.

  Roger Ailes : Annual rejection.

  [lowering his newspaper] 

  Roger Ailes : What?

  Beth Ailes : We should accept. Go back to Warren, show Zac where you're from. It'd be good for him. You haven't been back in over 20 years.

  Roger Ailes : One day.

• Roger Ailes : [after Rupert snubs him at the FBN launch party]  Sycophants. Ass-lickers, parasites.

  Beth Ailes : Outrageous.

  Roger Ailes : Ugh. Did you see them just lapping up every word that Rupert and his concubine said, like they're some kind of robber baron power couple with the keys to the kingdom.

  Beth Ailes : Well, unfortunately, they sort of are, aren't they?

  Roger Ailes : You heard what he said, right? "Global citizens."

  Beth Ailes : Yeah.

  Roger Ailes : What does that even mean? What, to just let the immigrants invade? We all just stand down and watch while every jihadi gets to decide whether he wants to live in Pittsburgh or Peoria?

  Beth Ailes : Scary. That's what it is.

  Roger Ailes : I was wrong about Warren. We should go. We should show Zac the real America.

  Beth Ailes : Yes, we should.

• Roger Ailes : Jesus Christ. The Democrats have nominated an African socialist who wants to redistribute the country's wealth, and the biggest news around here? Potlucks and yard sales.

  Beth Ailes : Well, it's a community paper, Roger. What do you expect?

  Roger Ailes : News in the newspaper. Actual news.

• Beth Ailes : [after spotting a car with an Obama/Biden bumper sticker outside the local paper]  I'd like to speak with the editor.

  Receptionist : Uh, he's out.

  Beth Ailes : Okay, then the publisher.

  Receptionist : Our publisher is the editor. We have a lean staff, as you can see.

  Beth Ailes : Well, I'd like him to know that his employees are making blatant political statements with their bumper stickers. It's a breach of journalistic integrity, it shows bias, and it's wrong.

  Receptionist : Ms...

  Beth Ailes : Ailes. Mrs. Roger Ailes.

  Receptionist : Mrs. Ailes, we don't take political positions at the paper. We invite all viewpoints to be shared on the "letters to the editor" page. So feel free to write a letter, and we'll consider it for next issue.

  Beth Ailes : You have no idea who I am, do you?

  Receptionist : Not a clue.

• Roger Ailes : Rupert blinked. I have full editorial control.

  Beth Ailes : I knew it. There is no Fox without you.

• Roger Ailes : I just don't know what's going on with this country. And no one seems to see the danger in Washington. Rupert only listens to Wendi now. It's like I'm the last one left standing to fight.

  Beth Ailes : It's just terrible that he won. It's not just Washington. I mean, it's everywhere. They won't even let us put a Christ child on the lawn at Christmas.

  Roger Ailes : Come on. They got all this fucking Kwanzaa stuff everywhere...

  Beth Ailes : Ah.

  Roger Ailes : ...and Hannukah shit. You know what this paper needs? Good, solid local journalism, bread-and-butter stuff.

  Beth Ailes : Yes.

  Roger Ailes : We should buy this paper. That can be your project.

  Beth Ailes : We can remind Garrison who they really are.

  Roger Ailes : You can, Beth. You can remind them.

  Beth Ailes : Is it even for sale?

  Roger Ailes : Yeah, well, I met the owner. He's pushing on in years. For the right price.

  Beth Ailes : We both want Zac to grow up in a town that has American values. That respects the flag, family, and God. That's what you had growing up in Warren. We can make that here. You always said it was a war. Rupert needs to understand. Garrison needs to understand. You'll have Fox. I'll have the paper. And we will fight.
