| Trivia | The opening narrator says, "The Teapot Dome Scandal was going to be a church club misunderstanding compared to this." The Teapot Dome Scandal (1921-1923) was a bribery scandal involving the administration of US President Warren G. Harding. Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall had leased Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming and California to private oil companies at low rates without competitive bidding. Before the Watergate scandal (1972-1974), Teapot Dome was regarded as the "greatest and most sensational scandal in the history of American politics." See more » |

Scanlon:
Mitchell! What is it? You know where the album is. Tell me, Mitchell. Tell me! Harry Mitchell: Why should I tell you? That's like the coach of Notre Dame giving the signals to the coach of Michigan. See more » |
