List of voters for the quote

Mrs. Knowles: I see on your application here - by the way, you misspelled mail, it's M-A-L-E, the other's what we put in post boxes - I see you put under employer: 1959 to 1976, Joliet State Penitentiary. Frank: Yes. Mrs. Knowles: You worked for the state, I take it? Frank: After a fashion. Mrs. Knowles: And what did you do at the prison? Frank: Desks. I, uh, I spot-welded desks, and then I got promoted to shoes. Mrs. Knowles: You were in charge of the shop? Frank: Lady, I was a convict, I was doing time. Mrs. Knowles: You were what? Jessie: Frank, let's go. Mrs. Knowles: Umm, you have to understand, we have more applicants than children... Frank: Then why do you still have kids here? As a kid I would not be falling all over myself to stay in one of these places. We will relieve you of some of the burden. Mrs. Knowles: But the point is, we establish criteria for parenting, and an ex-convict compared to other desirables... Frank: Great, so we'll take a kid that's not so desirable. You got a black kid? We'll take a black kid. You got a chink kid? Mrs. Knowles: You don't seem to understand... Frank: Nobody likes older kids. You got an eight-year old black chink kid, we'll take him. Jessie: Frank... Frank: Wait. Frank: If it's a matter of, uh, y'know, here. Mrs. Knowles: What is that? Frank: What is that? That is D-flawless, three-point-two karats, emerald cut. Mrs. Knowles: This is not a marketplace. Frank: Right. Y'know, you're not smart enough to take this anymore than you are to, to, recognize good parents. Mrs. Knowles: Get out of my office. Frank: You did not ask about us. You didn't ask what kind of people we are. There is a child waiting, and you are denying us him, and him us. Who the hell are you?
