Quotes

Editor (Jeff) : I don't care a tinker's damn about this eclipse of the sun as such; the evening papers will cane it, it'll be dead by tomorrow morning. But what I do care about is why there was an eclipse of the sun ten days before it was due. Bill, this is your department.
Bill Maguire : I don't know why everybody regards me as Nostradamus. Your guess is as good as mine.
Editor (Jeff) : Yes, but I don't want guesses, I want facts. Try someone on top. Sir John Kelly...
Bill Maguire : Stenning got in to see Kelly.
Peter Stenning : He had twenty-eight armed guards around him.
Editor (Jeff) : Yes, but what did he say?
Peter Stenning : He wouldn't even say "Good night" in case it was taken as an official comment on the future of mankind.
