Peggie Castle in Invasion, U.S.A. (1952)

Quotes

Invasion, U.S.A.

Edit
  • Mr. Ohman: I think America wants new leadership.
  • Vince Potter: What kind of leadership do you suggest?
  • Mr. Ohman: I suggest a wizard.
  • Vince Potter: A what?
  • Mr. Ohman: A wizard, like Merlin, who could kill his enemies by wishing them dead. That's the way we like to beat Communism now, by wishing it dead.
  • Woman: Could I get a ticket to Gardner Field, Montana?
  • Second Airline Ticket Agent: Gardner Field, Montana?
  • Woman: That's right.
  • Second Airline Ticket Agent: Is this a business trip?
  • Woman: No, I want to go home. My husband's there, my children are with him.
  • Second Airline Ticket Agent: I'm sorry, madam. All flights to Gardner Field have been discontinued.
  • Woman: Discontinued? For how long?
  • Second Airline Ticket Agent: I'm afraid... permanently.
  • Woman: There hasn't been an attack?
  • Second Airline Ticket Agent: Early this morning.
  • Woman: Was it... was it serious?
  • Second Airline Ticket Agent: An A bomb.
  • Vince Potter: In the little time we have left I want to tell you how proud you can be of the average citizen of New York. It seems every man and boy today has become a guerrilla fighter. I saw taxi drivers use their cabs as weapons to mow down enemy troops. I saw high school boys attack enemy tanks with pop bottles full of gasoline. I saw mounted policemen become a fighting cavalry.
  • Russian Invader: We take over now.
  • [Gunshot]
  • Carla Sanford: It's a nightmare, this can't be happening!
  • Vince Potter: It was a cinch to happen. The last time I met a girl I really liked, they bombed Pearl Harbor.
  • General: Do you remember what Senator Baker said when the military appropriations bill came up for vote?
  • Secretary of Defense: He said we could safely reduce our armed forces by half.
  • General: He wasn't only wrong, he's dead.
  • Newscaster: The big mystery now is why have no cities been attacked? Why did the enemy throw away surprise yet fail to drop a single atom bomb?
  • Newscaster: A steel plant, built at a cost of $50 million, burns to the ground. Part of the terrible balance sheet of war. Billions of dollars of property lost to the American people forever because we did not provide a strong enough army to protect ourselves.
  • Vince Potter: War or not, people have to eat and drink... and make love.
  • Ed Mulfory: Can you imagine those guys attacking the United States of America?
  • George Sylvester: Yeah, well we'll shove it down their throats.
  • Ed Mulfory: This is it. The final game of the World Series and we're the home team.
  • President: For every atom bomb dropped on our country, we have taken three to the enemy's heartland and we have huge stocks of atomic weapons in reserve.
