- Judge Dennis: [the crowd has re-gathered at the train station to see Woodrwow] Naturally the nomination went back to Doc Bissell. But he got up and said...
- Mr. Schultz: "Ladies and gents..."
- Doc Bissell: Don't mis-quote me.
- Judge Dennis: What?
- Doc Bissell: I said, "ladies and gentlemen."
- Committee Chairman: Of course you did.
- Doc Bissell: I said, "Ladies and gentlemen, in all the years that I have been unsuccessfully mixed into politics, this is the first and only time that I have ever seen a candidate for office - given an opportunity to prove publicly, permanently and beyond peradventure of doubt that he was honest, courageous and veracious..."
- Judge Dennis: That means truthful. He likes those big words.
- Doc Bissell: I said, further, "that if to act out a little lie to save one's mother humiliation was a fault - in other words, if tenderness toward and consideration of one's mother was a fault - it was a fault any man might be proud of."
