- Jason McCord: You HIRED a female assassin. Now Mr. Greeley, you are a wise and influential man, but your judgment of employees... especially women... leaves a lot to be desired.
- Jason McCord: Mr. Greeley, I'll still read your newspaper, but if you don't mind, I think I'll vote for Grant.
- Horace Greeley: Thank you for my head. I will try to use it more judicially and honestly in the future.
- Horace Greeley: Because I can hire a bodyguard, out there in Indian territory it would be bad for the image that I'm trying to build of the harmless and peace-loving red man. But I do have an opening for a social secretary.
- Jason McCord: Social- One who wears a gun?
- Horace Greeley: Yes, if he wishes. I never tell my employees what to wear.
- Jason McCord: Somebody did his best to see that you went ahead without me. And I think I know who that somebody is.
