John Braden: Prosecutor

Quotes 

• Prosecutor : Tell the court why you think he is a traitor to this country.

  Miss America : I think Mr. Mellish is a traitor to this country because his views are different from the views of the President and others of his kind. Differences of opinion should be tolerated, but *not* when they're too different. Then he becomes a subversive mother.

• Prosecutor : Your witness.

  Fielding Mellish : Officer Dowd, have you ever had sexual relations with a girl with really big breasts?

  Policeman : Yes, sir. I did.

  Fielding Mellish : Hmm-hmm. And how did you find it?

  Policeman : Very - erotic.

  Fielding Mellish : I was just checking.

• Prosecutor : And you remember Fielding Mellish?

  Policeman : He's got a record. He was always being picked up at one demonstration or another. He's a bad apple - a Commie! A New York Jewish Intellectual Communist Crackpot. I mean, I don't want to cast no aspersions.
