A scene from Citizen Kane 1941
Leland

These men who were with the Chronicle. Weren't they just as devoted to the Chronicle politics as they are now to our policies?

Bernstein

Sure, they're just like anybody else. They got work to do, they do it! Only they happen to be the best men in the business!

Leland

Do we stand for the same things the Chronicle stands for, Bernstein?

Bernstein

Certainly not. Listen, Mr. Kane, he'll have them changed to his kind of newspapermen in a week!

Leland

There's always a chance, of course, that they'll change Mr. Kane, without his knowing it.
