Adrienne Dore: Antoinette 'Toni' Martin

Quotes 

• Bob Parks : You know, I couldn't get any real booze in this little town; so, I had to take the stuff I could get from the drug store. Come and get it! I don't know if it will be any good. It's hard to get the right ingredients in a little town like this.

  Antoinette 'Toni' Martin : Mmmm. I think its lovely.

  Jigger Bolton : Yeah, that's his one real talent. He can make a martini out of cockroach paste and turpentine.

  Bob Parks : No! That's a Manhattan. A martini is boiled cigar butts and sheep dip.

• Antoinette 'Toni' Martin : Oh, nothing ever happens in a town like this!

• Antoinette 'Toni' Martin : We were just saying, Bruce ought to go to New York. Where he'd get a chance.

  Joe - Newspaper Man : Yeh, he ought to get clean out of the newspaper business. Ain't any money in it, anymore, as far as I see.

  Antoinette 'Toni' Martin : No money? Why do you know how much some of those reporters in New York get? Two-hundred dollars a week! Now, that's money, isn't it?

  Joe - Newspaper Man : Well, that 's a whole lotta money, alright - for snoopin' around in other folks business!

  Antoinette 'Toni' Martin : It isn't snooping! Why, telling the people what's going on in the world - is one of the highest forms of public service.

• Bob Parks : I fear your local officials haven't been properly trained.

  Antoinette 'Toni' Martin : What do you mean? We print all the news he gives us.

  Bob Parks : Yes. But, you don't inform him what news to give you.

• Antoinette 'Toni' Martin : Gee, this is as good as a school of journalism for me.

  Jigger Bolton : Better! No school of journalism ever taught you how to stick your foot in a crack of a door.
