- Franklin D. Roosevelt: The face of fear is coming. And when it comes, Walter, you'll answer to no one, not even me.
- Herman Klurfeld: But he's HITLER! You're only Walter Winchell.
- Walter Winchell: That's where you're wrong. I'm Walter Winchell, he's only Hitler.
- Walter Winchell: Hitler hates me. He hates me!
- Newstand Operator: Yeah, well, Joe Stalin hasn't sent me a Christmas card either.
- Walter Winchell: Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all the ships at sea! Let's go to press!
- Herman Klurfeld: [to Winchell's managing editor, defending Winchell's unorthodox language] And you say Mr. Winchell bastardizes English? Well, English is a bastard, with too many illegitimate parents. From the Romans, to the Celts, to the Anglos, to the Saxons, to the Normans, to the Puritans, to the Irish, to the Slavs, French, Jews, all the way to Walter Winchell. English is the biggest, ugliest bastard you'll ever meet. But then again, I don't know the company you keep.
