Funny / The Great McGinty

Go To

  • Skeeters is reading about the current mayor (before McGinty) being investigated for graft:
    Skeeters: If it wasn't for graft, you'd get a very low type of people in politics!
    • Even better is when Catherine expresses her views (at first) about graft:
      Catherine: You can't really rob the people anyway.
      Skeeters: Sure! (Beat) How's 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.
  • McGinty drunkenly breaking everything.
  • One of the guys breaking out McGinty stops to steal a newspaper from a sleeping guard's lap.
