[after his afair with Susan is revealed]

I'm staying here. I can fight this all alone.

Charles, if you don't listen to reason, it may be too late.

Too late. For what? For you and this public thief to take the love of the people of this state away from me?

Charlie, you got other things to think about. Your little boy, you don't want him to read about you in the papers.

There's only one person in the world who decides what I'm going to do, and that's me.

You decided what you were going to do, Charles, some time ago.
