Mr. Powers: Foreign correspondent! I could get more news out of Europe looking in a crystal ball.
John Jones: I'm in love with a girl, and I'm going to help hang her father.
Mr. Powers: Wait a minute! I've got something that might pass for an idea.
Stephen Fisher: It's really very exciting being present at the christening of an American newspaper correspondent. Shouldn't we break a bottle of champagne or something?
Carol Fisher: You never hear of circumstances out of our control rushing us into peace, have you?
John Jones: I'm in love with you, and I want to marry you.
Carol Fisher: I'm in love with you, and I want to marry you.
John Jones: Hmm... that cuts down our love scene quite a bit, doesn't it?
John Jones: Look, I'm in love with you. I can't hit you over the head with a scandal as a wedding present.
John Jones: I came 4,000 miles to get a story. I get shot at like a duck in a shooting gallery, I get pushed off buildings, I get the story, and then I've got to shut up.
Ffolliott: Who has he shot?
John Jones: Van Meer assassinated.
Ffolliott: Dead?
John Jones: Looked like it.
Ffolliott: Bad show.
John Jones: Couldn't be much worse from his point of view.
