    #803 This mother is weird enough. The brain has a big hole, brainwashing and hypnosis, the step drill Q symbolizes the mother's desire for control, and the far-right old beauty and the far-left China and the Soviet Union secretly cooperate. There is also the fascinating light and shadow of film noir, and the parallel montage of brainwashing fragments at the beginning is...

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!
