George Irving: Edward Swain

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  MGM Reporter : How do you do, ladies and gentlemen. This is the MGM reporter speaking. I'm a man on a mission. It's my privilege to examine police files and prison records, to interview prominent authorities throughout the country, and bring to you undeniably, proof of the message that crime does not pay. You can't beat the law. The cards are stacked against you. At this time it is my privilege to interview Mr. Edward Swain, the International Bonding Company. Mr. Swain has promised me an incident that will poignantly illustrate the fact that sometime, somewhere, the criminal always pays. Am I right, Mr. Swain?

  Edward Swain : You certainly are, Mac. The case of young Al Douglas illustrates your point. There are many others in our records, but this one is unusual and mighty interesting. Young Douglas was a teller in a bank. It wasn't long before the easy money he handled got him into trouble.

  Edward Swain : There you are, Mac. There was a crime that was perfectly planned. Does that prove your point?

  MGM Reporter : I'll say it does. The poor sap.
