Quotes 

• Senator Joseph McCarthy : I've suspected a communist infiltration among our troops for some time now. Never imagined one would be so bold as to walk right up to my front door.

  Wyatt Logan : Really? The man with the Eastern European accent told you I was the communist?

• Senator Joseph McCarthy : Who are you working with? You cooperate now, you give us their names... you give us those names, or I'll put you up in front of a Senate subcommittee.

  Wyatt Logan : No, you won't. Because you're a coward. You're arrogant and loud-mouthed and terrified that people will find out you're a fraud, just like every bully.

• Senator Joseph McCarthy : Listen, I'm a busy man. You know a communist spy in the military, you tell one of my aides.

  Garcia Flynn : Well, I'll tell you what I told them: that I only trust the great Senator Joe McCarthy himself.

  Senator Joseph McCarthy : Where's that accent from, son?

  Garcia Flynn : Look, I'll tell you what I know, but first I need to find out something from you: where the Rittenhouse summit is tonight.

  Senator Joseph McCarthy : What are you talking about?

  Garcia Flynn : Oh, come on. I think you're, um... how do you like to put it? A card-carrying member?

  Senator Joseph McCarthy : I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't have time for this nonsense. Now, if you'll excuse me...

  Garcia Flynn : [he picks up the phone receiver]  I wouldn't, unless you want your enemies to find out you faked thirty-two aerial missions to get that fancy Flying Cross on your wall.

  Senator Joseph McCarthy : That's a lie.

  Garcia Flynn : Not so fun being on the other side of a witch hunt, is it? Now, the address, please.
