Ace in the Hole (1951 film)

"Bad news sells best. 'Cause good news is no news."

"I've done a lot of lying in my time. I've lied to men who wear belts. I've lied to men who wear suspenders. But I'd never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both belt and suspenders."

"It's a good story today. Tomorrow, it'll be yesterday's news and they'll wrap a fish in it."

"I can handle big news and little news. And if there's no news, I'll go out and bite a dog."

"When they bleached your hair, they must have bleached your brain too."

"You know what's wrong with New Mexico, Mr. Wendel? Too much outdoors."

"How'd you like to make a thousand dollars a day, Mr. Boot? I'm a thousand-dollar-a-day newspaperman. You can have me for nothing."

"I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons."

"I've met a lot of hard-boiled eggs in my time, but you--you're twenty minutes."
