    The Manchurian Candidate quotes

    • Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: No evasions, Mister Secretary, no evasions if you please.

      Secretary of Defense: Evasions? What the hell are you talking about?

      Secretary of Defense: [whispering to Marco] What the hell is this nonsense?

      Marco: [covering the microphones] Mister Secretary, I'm kind of new at this job, but I don't think it's good public relations to speak that way to a US Senator, even if he is an idiot.

      Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: I am United States Senator John Yerkes Iselin, and I have here a list of two hundred seven persons who are known by the Secretary of Defense as being members of the Communist Party!

      Secretary of Defense: [amid shocked reaction from the crowd] What?

      Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: Who nevertheless are still shaping the policy of the Defense Department!

      Secretary of Defense: Senator who?

      Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: I demand an answer, Mister Secretary! There will be no covering up, sir! No covering up!

      Secretary of Defense: How did you get in here in the first place?

    • Mrs. Iselin: [at meal time] I'm sorry, hon'. Would it really make it easier for you if we settled on just one number?

      Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: Yeah. Just one, real, simple number that'd be easy for me to remember.

      [Mrs. Iselin watches her husband thump a bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup onto his plate]

      Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: [addressing the Senate] There are exactly 57 card-carrying members of the Communist Party in the Department of Defense at this time!
