- B.H. 'Butch' Owens: Look here, Brent, you can't get away with this! You can't put me...

- B.H. 'Butch' Owens: I've heard that before - just around election time.
- New York City Dist. Atty. Brent: Yes, but get this, Owens - you're a candidate right now for that "hot seat" at The Big House. And if you're in town by this time tomorrow, you're as good as elected.
