Goodbye, My Fancy (1951)

Howard St. John: Claude Griswold

Quotes 

• Claude Griswold : I should have known from her voting record in Congress, there was something in her past.

• Claude Griswold : But why show them this kind of stuff? Let them enjoy themselves. Time enough to start worrying when they're out of college. Life's tough enough without drumming their heads full of problems.

• Agatha Reed : And you don't like a film which makes a plea for academic freedom.

  Claude Griswold : Well, I don't...

  Agatha Reed : Mr. Griswold, we're trying to sell the idea of freedom and democracy to the rest of the world. How can we succeed if we're afraid of it ourselves?

  Claude Griswold : I don't give a hoot about the rest of the world, Miss Reed. All I care about is protecting the minds of the young people here.

  Agatha Reed : And you're going to do that by restricting them from seeing a film that's considered educational. By preventing them from discussing any of the serious questions facing us today. That's not protecting them, Mr. Griswold. That's destroying them.
