Theodore Roosevelt tells Walter S. Funnell that he will not talk to any newspaper over the phone. In response to the attack on Roosevelt by the Consul of Columbia, Roosevelt states he did not expect Columbia to like the taking of Panama, but Roosevelt is not interested in what Columbia has to say about it, comparing Columbia to a train robber being caught by a Marshall.
