Collaboration vs. Independence in Institutions
Cardinal Law:
If I can be of any help, Marty, don't hesitate to ask. I find that the city flourishes when its great institutions work together.
Marty Baron:
Thank you. Personally I'm of the opinion that for a paper to best perform its function, it really needs to stand alone.

Tension Between Mort and Sheriff Escalates
Mort Rainey:
Glad you're here, I could use the break. I've been working lunch. I'm on a roll.
Sheriff Dave Newsome:
Yeah. Listen, both you and I know what you did.
Mort Rainey:
Oh.
Sheriff Dave Newsome: [''Mort is calm and unconcerned, giving no response'']
Maybe we don't have enough to put you away right now, but eventually... we're gonna find those bodies, we're gonna tie you to them. And you're goin away. In the meantime I'd appreciate it if you didn't come into town anymore. Makes people uncomfortable. You can do your shopping in New London. Did you hear what I said?
Mort Rainey: [''Sheriff Newsome starts to leave'']
Sure. No problem. You know, the only thing that matters is the ending. That's the most important part of the story, the ending. And this one... this one's very good. This one's perfect.
