"You have all the makings of an outstanding boor."
"Youre one of the ardent believers - a good American. Oh, there are millions like you. People who play along, without asking questions. I hate to use the word stupid, but it seems to be the only one that applies. The great masses, the moron millions. Well, there are a few of us unwilling to troop along... a few of us who are clever enough to see that theres much more to be done than just live small complacent lives, a few of us in America who desire a more profitable type of government. When you think about it, Mr. Kane, the competence of totalitarian nations is much higher than ours. They get things done."
"[to Charles Tobin] Why is it that you sneer every time you refer to this country? Youve done pretty well here. I dont get it."
"Youd like to say - IT CANT HAPPEN HERE!... but every jolting scene is TRUE!!"
"[to Barry Kane] Very pretty speech - youthful, passionate, idealistic. Need I remind you that you are the fugitive from justice, not I. Im a prominent citizen, widely respected. You are an obscure workman wanted for committing an extremely unpopular crime. Now which of us do you think the police will believe?"
"[to Patricia as they dance at a party full of Nazi sympathizers] Right now, theyre probably haggling over the price for us with Murder, Incorporated."
"[Philip, a blind man, explains to Patricia why he believes Barry is innocent] Dont you know I can see a great deal farther than you can? I can see intangible things. For example, innocence."
"Priscilla Lane - Patricia Pat Martin"
"Power, yes... I want that as much as you want your job, or that girl. We all have different tastes as you can see, only Im willing to back my tastes with the necessary force."
"Pat, this moment belongs to me. No matter what happens, they can never take it away from me. [another dancer cuts in and dances off with Pat]"
