Edward Asner: Lou Grant

Quotes 

• Joe Rossi : [a suspicious Rossi walks up to Lou]  Who are those guys in Charlie's office? They look like cops.

  Lou Grant : They are cops.

  Joe Rossi : Are they looking for me?

  Lou Grant : What have you done?

  Joe Rossi : Nothing.

  [walks away] 

• Lou Grant : The way I see it, you've got to be Dick Tracy or Clark Kent. But you can't be both.

• Charlie Hume : Look, if I rented a car downtown, I'd have to turn it in there, I'd have to take a bus home, I'd have to get Marion to drive me over to the garage, she's hardly ever home before they call. You see?

  Lou Grant : Yeah, sure.

  Charlie Hume : So, I really had no choice, Lou.

  Lou Grant : You had lots of choices, Charlie. They're big and yellow and they're called cabs!
