Jack Reid Quotes in The Green Hornet (2011)

[first lines]

Jack Reid: [on the phone] Tell the Mayor, I'm insulted. I would never jeopardize the journalistic integrity of this newspaper for some rent-a-mayor's political agenda.

Jack Reid: [to his son] So Britt, here we are again. Sent home after another schoolyard fight. I know you miss your mother. So do I. But I have to take care of 750 employees, and you have to take care of yourself. Still that seems to be asking too much.

Young Britt: But I was trying to stop some bullies...

Jack Reid: Trying doesn't matter if you always fail.

Jack Reid: [after yaking off the young Reid's action figure's head] Do you think it makes me happy to do this?

Young Britt: Yes!

Jack Reid: No, it doesn't!
