Famous quotes containing the words bob and/or bet:
“It was because of me. Rumors reached Inman that I had made a deal with Bob Dole whereby Dole would fill a paper sack full of doggie poo, set it on fire, put it on Inmans porch, ring the doorbell, and then we would hide in the bushes and giggle when Inman came to stamp out the fire. I am not proud of this. But this is what we do in journalism.”
—Roger Simon, U.S. syndicated columnist. Quoted in Newsweek, p. 15 (January 31, 1990)
“Alicia Huberman: Look, Ill make it easy for you. The time has come when you must tell me that you have a wife and two adorable children, and this madness between us cant go on any longer.

Alicia: Right below the belt every time. Oh that isnt fair, Dev.
Devlin: Skip it. We have other things to talk about. We have a job.”
—Ben Hecht (18931964)
