Eric Keenleyside: Mayor Dean

Quotes 

• Mayor Dean : I understand your frustration. I just ask for your patience.

  Lana Lang Cushing : And you're recommending Kyle take a leave from the station?

  Mayor Dean : Just until all this Edge stuff blows over; a couple of weeks, tops.

  Kyle Cushing : A couple weeks? Come on, Mayor, I just want to get back to work.

  Lana Lang Cushing : Kyle, maybe he's right.

  Kyle Cushing : Well, you know, I'm not the only one who wanted Edge coming here.

  Mayor Dean : And I've been saying the same thing, Kyle, trust me. I'm not quite sure why people have been singling you out, but I am gonna change the narrative, make sure that they put the blame where it should be. Just give me some time.

• Mayor Dean : As I've been saying, the Cushings are the real problem here. Honestly, Sheriff, I was suspicious of Morgan Edge from day one. But you know Kyle, he just pushed and pushed until he finally got his way. I mean, honestly, we're the real victims here. Who knows what kind of perks they got from Lana's special little job.

  Lana Lang Cushing : [overhearing them]  Zero perks.

  Mayor Dean : Lana...

  Lana Lang Cushing : We got lied to just like everyone else. Just like you lied when you said you were gonna help us.

  Mayor Dean : Why don't you and I go talk somewhere else?

  Lana Lang Cushing : You said you were gonna set the record straight, and all you're doing is covering your ass so you don't feel the blowback come election time.

  Mayor Dean : I'm doing what's best for the town.

  Lana Lang Cushing : You're doing what's best for you at the expense of *my* family, and for that, shame on you.
