  • Clarissa Saunders: Look, when I came here, my eyes were big blue question marks. Now, they're big green dollar marks.

  • 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.
