Taglines:

He was McCarthy's loyal partner. The Kennedys' worst enemy. The F.B.I.'s best friend. The country's greatest nightmare.

Quotes:

Walter Winchell: You hear what I hear? Kennedy's gonna name his brother Attorney General. Our friend J. Edgar says it's gonna be "Get Hoffa and get Cohn." Fuck the little cocksucker, and all the ships at sea.

Joseph N. Welch: Have you no decency, sir? At long last, have you no sense of decency?

Joseph N. Welch: Until this moment, I never really gauged your recklessness, or your cruelty. Fred Fisher is beginning what looks to be a brilliant career with us. And when I asked him to come here and assist us, he told me in college he briefly belonged to the Lawyer's Guild, the organization to which you refer. I told him that, um, I just don't think I'm going to use you on this case, because it might go out on the networks, and that would just hurt like the dickens. So, Senator, I sent him back to Boston. Little did I dream that you would be so cruel, and so reckless as to do injury to this lad. It's true, he works for us. It's true that he will continue to work for us, and it's true I fear he will always bear a scar needlessly inflicted by YOU. Let us not assassinate this lad any further, Senator? You've done enough! Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you NO sense of DECENCY?

Roy Marcus Cohn: If you are a friend of Americas enemies, then you're an enemy too.

Dora Cohn: You're telling this boy how to live? You are?::Albert Cohn: That's the idea.::Dora Cohn: [firmly] Don't. He's MINE. This is one boy they're NEVER going to forget!

Roy Marcus Cohn: [screaming at nurse] You're the angel of death, but you're no fucking angel!

[Roy is fighting AIDS]::Roy Marcus Cohn: Slow down... stop... eating... me.

[the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg visits Roy in his deathbed]::Ethel Rosenberg: Here's a secret, boychick. The electricity makes everything brighter. I could see. All the Jews were afraid because if you could kill me, all the Jews would die.

Roy Marcus Cohn: [to Peter] They tried to kill me. The bastards didn't make it, though. [points to the window] What do you see there? You see the SUN! They have this one doctor. They PAID him to kill me. They couldn't do it themselves, the miserable cocksuckers... They got him to do it. You don't think so? My friends hate me. My enemies hate me. Now you hate me. Everybody hates me.::Peter: [interrupting] You knocked off your enemies a long time ago and your friends love you. You know that.

Roy Marcus Cohn: Senator, I've seen enough names working for Pat McCarran. You're going to be hauling up Jew after Jew... all those European names, and with a McCarthy and a Kennedy together, it's gonna look like an Irish/Catholic-run pogrom. That will discredit everything you do, and I know, because I'm a Jew.::Senator Joseph McCarthy: But they're Communists. They betrayed the faith of the Fathers for this Socialist God of Iron. Now, that's the issue, not anti-Semitism.::Roy Marcus Cohn: That's NOT what your opposition will say. It's very hard sometimes to control what an issue really is, and if your enemies can find a way to twist your motives, believe me, they will do it.

You worship me. That's not the same thing. You worship me because you think you made me!::Count Giuseppe Pepito Abatino: [pointing to Josephine's heart] How can you say there's nothing in here? I have nothing but you.::Josephine Baker: And I can't live with that anymore! I was right. I was right! I never should have come back here. Especially with you! Especially with *you*!::[storms off]

Josephine's Mother: No one's ever been able to tell that girl anything... least of all me.

Concentrate.::[the dragon tries, but all he can muster is a puny smoke ring]::The Dragon: Not very good, is it?::The Boy: Nope.

Sir Giles: Radish so red / Radish so red / Plucked from the heart of your warm little bed / Sprinkle some salt on the top of your head / [eats radish] Delicious.

Robert Benchley: Very good. I like the way you handle that fowl language.::Clarence Nash: [as Donald Duck] Foul language? Why the very idea!

Sir Giles: Uh, the time has come, you know.::The Dragon: [clapping excitedly] You mean... I die now?::Sir Giles: Oh yes indeed. As per-agreed, we'll seal our pact, old thing.::[placing the lance under the Dragon's arm]::Sir Giles: Take that!

[first lines]::Mrs. Benchley: [Reading] "So they set off up the hill, arm in arm, the knight, the dragon, and the boy. The lights in the little village began to go out one by one." [Is interrupted by a toy rifle going off] "But there were stars and a late moon as they climbed the downs together." [Toy rifle again] Robert, please. [Pan to Robert Benchley lying on a raft in the pool, with the toy rifle]::Robert Benchley: Go on, I can hear in any position. [Shoots a dart at a duck decoy in the pool]::Mrs. Benchley: [Continues reading] "And as they turned the last corner and disappeared from view, snatches of an old song were borne back on the night breeze. I can't be certain which of them was singing, but I think it was the dragon."::Robert Benchley: Go on, I'm listening.::Mrs. Benchley: That was the end, and a very lovely end, too.::Robert Benchley: Yeah, charming, charming. It's funny. No matter which way I aim, I always hit the same duck.::Mrs. Benchley: Robert, I have a wonderful idea. We'll sell this book to Walt Disney.::Robert Benchley: Well, you can't. It belongs to your nephew. [Looks at rifle] So does this, too. I wonder what he'd take for it.::Mrs. Benchley: I mean the idea, for a movie. I'm sure if you went to his studio and suggested it to him, he'd jump at it.::Robert Benchley: Me suggest a story to Walt Disney? Why, I hardly know him.::Mrs. Benchley: Well, you hardly knew me when you suggested marriage.::Robert Benchley: Yeah, look at the trouble I got into. He can't listen to every crackpot with a wild idea.::Mrs. Benchley: You might be the exception. All you would have to do would be to go to his studio and show him the book.::Robert Benchley: I wouldn't dream of it!::Mrs. Benchley: They're always open to new ideas. Get your things on, and stop shilly-shallying.::Robert Benchley: [Stands up on raft] I am not shillying and I am not shallying. But once and for all, I will not go to the studio. I will not make myself look ridiculous. [Falls through]::Robert Benchley: [Bubbles come out of his mouth] And that's final.

[after watching a sound effects recording session for a cartoon train]::Doris: How did you like it?::Robert Benchley: Oh, fine, fine. Only after all, wouldn't it be a lot easier just to wreck a real train?

Doris: [Holding up a cel of Bambi in front of her] Like it?::Robert Benchley: I'd be all right if you could get that reindeer out of the way.::Doris: I'll see if I can scare up the background that goes with it.::Robert Benchley: Nothing wrong with the one I just saw.::Doris: [a man hands her a painting] Thanks. This is his background. He fits right on top of it, like this. There.::Robert Benchley: And very cunning, too. I'd like to take him home with me. [Bambi suddenly comes to life and hides behind a rock in the background]::Robert Benchley: What do you know? He took me seriously.

Nurse: You're a quiet little fellow, aren't you?::Baby Weems: Well, there really isn't much to talk about.::Nurse: He talks!::Baby Weems: Why? Is it against the rules?::Nurse: Oh, Doctor! [Faints]

Narrator: Yes, the horse, the servant of mankind, the aristocrat of the animal kingdom. Noble, faithful, obedient, and kind, most magnificent of all dumb animals::Horse: Dumb?

The Dragon: Sweet little upside-down cake / Cares and woes, you've got'em / Poor little upside-down cake / Your top is on your bottom / Alas, little upside-down cake / Your troubles never stop / Because, little upside-down cake / Your bottom's on your top.
