Hearst and Seth Bullock in “Tell Him Something Pretty”

Hearst

Have the gold seen to [Alma's] bank, Newman. Have its purity assayed. Let her or her seconds choose the man. When that tedium is completed, have the documents witnessed as though we were all of us Jews. And bring the business back to me. [turns to leave] Excuse my absence, Mr. Star, as I hope you'll forgive my thoughtless aspersion on your race. [Sol nods.] You stand for local office, but some contests being countywide, I await wires from the other camps. [holds the door open and Alma turns to leave. Hearst sniffs as she passes by.] You've changed your scent.

Seth Bullock

Can't shut up! Every bully I ever met can't shut his fuckin' mouth... except when he's afraid.

Hearst

You mistake for fear, Mr. Bullock, what is in fact preoccupation. I'm having a conversation you cannot hear.
