  • 'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: [holding up his phone] He's waiting for instructions. What are we gonna do?
  • The Mayor: Tell him to shoot to kill.
  • 'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: What?
  • The Mayor: Shoot to kill, I said.
  • 'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: I - I don't know, Herbie. What about that reprieve? I-if it ever comes out ...
  • The Mayor: Nobody reprieved that policeman he shot. There was no clemency, either. Do what I tell you!
  • 'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: [on phone] Jacobi, you there? Listen. Shoot to kill! You heard me!
  • The Mayor: Pete, get the Governor on the phone.
  • Plunkett: Oh, you can't.
  • 'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: What do you mean, we can't?
  • Plunkett: He's gone fishing. Just him, and an Indian guide, and a canoe. No phone, no nothin'.
  • The Mayor: He sure picked a hell of a time to go fishing.
  • 'Honest Pete' Hartman Sheriff of Clark County: [phone rings] Excuse me.
  • [exits]
  • Plunkett: Uh, just between us, it's not really fishing, because that Indian guide is really a girl. She' isn't even Indian. She's from New Jersey.
