Pete Curtis : [after Hamilton has upstaged his fellow journalists by gaining an interview with the head of the Indonesian Communist Party, creating some resentment amongst them] That's bullshit!
Wally O'Sullivan : The worrying thing is, it's well-written bullshit, and it's right here in my paper... I must confess, Hamilton, that I probably would have infused it with a little more skepticism, but bitter resentment won't prevent me from admitting it was a good piece. Well done.
