Implied Conversation Quotes

In a news article, if there is an implied conversation, should quote marks be used? For example, if you are in the neighborhood, drop by and say "Hello." Or would it be drop by and say hello??

Hi, The version with quotes is more correct, although it is still rather casual. I don't think there is any special grammar needed just because this is in a newspaper. Clive
