Steve Forrest: Edward Granger

Quotes 

• Edward Granger : The idea of my own death is thoroughly hateful to me. You're smiling. To accept death is supposed to be healthy. Mankind has been taught by religion to walk meekly to the grave. One day he will not do so.

  Dr. Laurence : What about overpopulation?

  Edward Granger : Doctor, I said that my own death is hateful to me, not yours.

  Edward Granger : Out of admiration. Not only do you accuse some of this state's leading judges, legislators, and law enforcement officers of being in the employ of the Syndicate, but you've got the proof to back it up.

  Ralph Robertson : Once I got into it, Mr. Granger, it became self-evident that...

  Edward Granger : Don't deprecate yourself or your work. This is journalism in the finest sense of the word, but this is only the raw material. Where's the story?

  Ralph Robertson : That's what I wanted to talk to you about first. There are so many ways of writing it...

  Edward Granger : There is only one way, and that is the truth. Granger Publications will back you up 100%. I hope you have copies of this material.

  Ralph Robertson : Why, no, sir. Uh, the material is so sensitive, I was afraid of a leak.

  Edward Granger : Of course. As Soon as you get back to town, have copies made of that and have them put in my private vault.
