Quotes 

• Anne Dettrey : I know dear, and some of your other best friends are Methodist, but you never bother to say it.

• Phil Green : What makes you say that?

  Bert McAnny : Oh, I don't know. You just seem like... a clever sort of guy.

  Phil Green : What makes you think I wasn't a G.I.?

  Bert McAnny : What? Now, Green, don't get me wrong. Why, some of my best friends are Jews.

  Anne Dettrey : And some of your other best friends are Methodists, but you never bother to say that.

• Anne Dettrey : They scold Bilbo and think they've fought the good fight for democracy in this country. They haven't got the guts to go from talking to action. One little action on one little front. Sure, I know its not the whole answer, but its got to start somewhere, and it's got to start with passion. Not pamphlets, not even your series. It's got to be with people. Rich people, poor people, big and little people. And it's got to be quick.

• Anne Dettrey : Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most brilliant of them all?

  Phil Green : And what does the mirror say?

  Anne Dettrey : Well, that mirror ain't no gentleman.
