• Roy Marcus Cohn : So what's the indictment, Doctor? Theoretical? Principle? Personal? Give it a name.

  Older Doctor : I don't name names.

  Roy Marcus Cohn : Well, we know them already, so what's the difference?

• [the ghost of Joseph Welch speaks to Cohn on his deathbed] 

  Joseph N. Welch : Well, how did I do, Mr. Cohn?

  Roy Marcus Cohn : The trial is over. You got McCarthy... but you didn't get me.

  Joseph N. Welch : You think you're on trial here? What would you be on trial for? And might I say, Mr. Cohn, for your sexual predilections I bear no grudge, no malice, nor for the hot, secret practices of your friends, not Mr. Hoover, not His Excellency the Cardinal. But shame, Mr. Cohn, for persecuting in public those who are no different than you.

  Roy Marcus Cohn : [denying]  I'm not gay.

  Older Doctor : Suuuure. And you're dying of mumps.

• [last lines] 

  Older Doctor : Well, at last he did something human. What was he saying?

  Peter : He said "Tell me the name of the judge!"
