The Front Page Quote

'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: [holding up his phone] He's waiting for instructions. What are we gonna do?

The Mayor: Tell him to shoot to kill.

'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: What?

The Mayor: Shoot to kill, I said.

'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: I-- I don't know, Herbie. What about that reprieve? I-if it ever comes out--

The Mayor: Nobody reprieved that policeman he shot. There was no clemency, either. Do what I tell you!

'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: [on phone] Jacobi, you there? Listen. Shoot to kill! You heard me!
