      Senator Joseph Paine: Smart, girl, eh. All right. Finish this job properly and you get a handsome bonus. And by properly, I mean keep Smith away from anything that smacks of politics.

    • Pageboy Richard Jones: Here you are Senator. Not a bad desk either. Daniel Webster used to use it.

      Jefferson Smith: Daniel Webster sat here?

      Pageboy Richard Jones: Give you something to shoot at, Senator. If you figure on doing any talking.

      Jefferson Smith: Oh, I'm just gonna sit around and listen.

      Pageboy Richard Jones: That's the way to get reelected!
