Jefferson
Smith:
You sure had the right idea about me, Saunders. You told me to go back home,
keep fillin' those kids full of hooey. Yeah. Just a simple guy you said was
still wet behind the ears. A lot of junk about American ideals. Yeah, that's
certainly a lot of junk, all right...I don't know. This is a whole new world to
me. What are you gonna believe in? And a man like Paine, Senator Joseph Paine
gets up and swears that I've been robbin' kids of nickels and dimes - a man
I've admired and worshipped all my life. I don't know. There are a lot of fancy
words around this town. Some of them are carved in stone. Some of 'em, I guess
the Taylors and Paines have put 'em up there so suckers like me can read 'em.
Then when you find out what men actually do - Well, I'm gettin' out of this
town so fast and away from all the words and the monuments and the whole rotten
show.
