The Paper Quote
Ken: Our warehouse is still half-full. I can't afford your precious conscience. So, by the powers vested in me by Marv not being here, I declare this article canceled. The state has shut down the churches.
Ned: Then the church... condemns you to hell.
Ned: Excuse me, everyone. I have something, ahem, very noble to say. Do I have your attention? Good. Okay. I have to do something very important right now and very, very difficult. We didn't ask to write a story about the flushability of Softees' Man Mitts. That story came to us, and it demanded to be told. So now I must do that which every newsman dreads. I must sacrifice myself for the good of the paper and the community... by resigning as editor-in-chief of the Toledo Truth Teller. If you must shed tears, do not shed them on my account. Shed them for justice, because justice has not been served today. As my final act before this historic resignation, I hereby appoint Mare Pritti as acting editor of my beloved Truth Teller. Okay. Heavy lies the crown.
Adam: Hey, Ned?
Ned: Yeah?
Adam: Let me know where you want me to send your last paycheck.
