    • Quotes

      Roger Chapman: Listen, there's something I'd like to ask you.

      Louie De Palma: Shoot.

      Roger Chapman: Well, we've heard that certain dispatchers will take advantage of their positions by taking bribes, you know shaking down drivers, that sort of thing. Is there any truth in that?

      Louie De Palma: What's it worth to you to find out?

      Roger Chapman: I think you just answered my question, thank you.
