Harry Stone : I never joined anything. A terrible mistake has been made.
Francis Hennessey : I sympathize. Unfortunately, I can only help people who are willing to make a clean breast of what they've done.
Harry Stone : But I haven't done anything!
Francis Hennessey : That's why I can't help you.

Francis Hennessey : The question is, Mr. Brown, what have you done?
Hecky Brown : Nothing. I'm an actor.
Francis Hennessey : Nothing?
Hecky Brown : Six years ago, I marched in the May Day parade. I bought a subscription for the 'Daily Worker', but I never read it, not one word. Right from the mailbox to the garbage can. I was only trying to get laid. This girl, this communist girl, she had a big ass.
Francis Hennessey : I am not interested in your sex life, Mr. Brown.
Hecky Brown : Hecky. I was just telling you - that girl was the reason.
Francis Hennessey : Was she also the reason you signed a petition for Loyalist Spain?
Hecky Brown : Did I do that?
Francis Hennessey : And Russian war relief?
Hecky Brown : We were on the same side, weren't we? That girl with the big ass, she was the reason. Honestly.

Hecky Brown : You want me to spy - on Howard Prince?
Francis Hennessey : We are in a war, Mr. Brown, against a ruthless and tricky enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy our way of life. To be a spy on the side of freedom is an honor.
Hecky Brown : And if I spy on Howard Prince, I can work?
Francis Hennessey : I don't do the hiring, Mr. Brown. I only advise about Americanism. But in my opinion, as the sign of a true patriot, it would certainly help.
