Button Gwinett Brown : . . .I don't mind telling you that the biggest crook in Washington is your friend Norton.
Alice Wylie : Why, he could buy and sell people like you by the gross.
Button Gwinett Brown : Sure, that's his specialty, buying and selling people. What's *your* price?
Alice Wylie : How dare you talk to me like that?
Button Gwinett Brown : You think you know your Washington. Your Washington is just a Vassar daisy chain. To you, it's all a merry-go-round: embassies, parties, teas, dances. Why, if you got into a covered wagon, you'd ask for a chauffeur. You're like all the rest of the people around here: soft and dizzy and useless.
