Quotes 

• The Mayor : [to an African tourist]  I'm very glad you could get along today. This must be very interesting for you -- coming as you do from an ancient culture where the hand-plow and the ox-cart work alongside the helicopter and the tractor.

• The Mayor : [to The Girl]  I'm glad to see a youngster turning out today. I know you don't all spend your lives singing and dancing and listening to records.

• The Mayor : He combined great business acumen with real Christianity.

• The Mayor : Most of the books, which I selected at random, were mere traps condoning homosexual practices, disguised as literature. I won't disclose the titles for obvious reasons.

• The Mayor : One author, in my opinion, after going into his background, is a man who sooner or later will come into collision with the authorities. In the meantime, he's free to write filthy books and have them published at a profit. Everything he writes is acclaimed by the critics. This author maintains, the public revulsion of perversion is middle class prejudice.

• The Mayor : It's most alarming. I'm beginning to wonder how many more dirty books there are in our public library.

  Librarian : Shall we have a cup of tea?
