TRANSCRIPT:
Listen carefully.
I'm going to pronounce a few words.
Just a bunch of letters scrambled together.
Try to understand what they mean.
In view of the exceptional gravity of the matter,
I have felt it necessary to communicate with you directly.
You must know your enemy.
Well, my mistake,
I thought he was working for you people.
One man thought he could stop them,
But they took him apart, piece by piece.
I need a contact at Langley.
Oh, by the way, you're elected.
I need a contact at Langley.
It's my turn to ask a few questions.
The substance may be unfounded,
But the rumor exists.
Its existence makes it fact.
It is a fact that there is a rumor.
He's running with some pretty big fish,
But they have a smell.
You're very clever with your words,
But history will judge you.
Times change.
Today, people like to play it safe.
There can be only one future for men such as this.
You shall know the truth,
And the truth shall make you free.
You know perfectly well that there are safeguards enough
in the Senate and the House
to keep any one branch from misusing their power.
I want you to do something for me.
Well, now that's more like it.
Why can't you recognize reality?
I need a contact at Langley.
I'll be on my way in another direction.
I need a contact at Langley.
I suppose it could've been a coincidence.
An outward image of incompetence
is a priceless asset
in the shadow world of espionage.
I know it's always existed,
But never this bad.
Keep away from the windows,
Someone might blow you a kiss.

TRANSCRIPT:
The first thing we have to do is to get rid of our friend, Mr. Coleman.
That's the kind of thing they'd give their right arms for.
You know, the way you talk is very graphic.
“Danger: official secret.“
Well, go on, go on – read it!
Here’s something for a man to dream about.
His own personal United States treasury.
In peacetime, I vote the straight “flowers and frills” ticket.
What kind of people are they, exactly?
He was saying that they’ve got a kind of long-term policy.
That they want to infiltrate themselves into the mind of the country.
But that they’re not in any kind of hurry.
Nazis?
But of course, they don't call themselves that anymore.
Well, there’s one particular arrest that I’m anxious to hear about.
Which one is that, Sir?
The traitor.
How near are you to discovering his identity?
Well, I would say, Sir, that we're getting warm.
My home away from home was the Hotel Florida, the spa for spies.
They even had a safe at the desk
where the guests could check their microfilm.
This same propaganda works in reverse.
Esrever ni skrow adnagaporp emas siht
Do you know what that means in Russia?
Yes, I think so.
It means you’re an expendable hero.
I’ll insist the investigation of you be dropped.
I'll also tell him the evidence is hogwash.
I’m sorry about arresting you.
It was a simple device to avoid suspicion.

TRANSCRIPT:
And I haven't kept up with politics
I should, I know, but...
Where did you get these facts?
You've got the same facts.
You've always had them.
You just read them differently.
Is this another lie?
Of course it is.
And if some group is powerful enough,
and fanatic enough,
they can take over whole nations.
We know very little about him.
His base of operations is in Rome.
Oh, sure, sure.
You toss a few names around,
and we drop the whole matter.
Its members are within the
decision-making echelons of your government.
Not a very Christian things to do.
We are obliged before God and the Law
to judge the accused for their deeds.
And pray, at least, that one of us is right.
As you may know,
our constitution protects any religion
as long as no crime is involved.
You mean to say you don't know?
It makes no difference.
The deal's already been made.
By whom?
Often, their responsibilities are to
support the government in some countries,
to foment rebellion in others,
and sometimes to bring down the government.
I don’t believe you.
You’re a fool!
This is one official secret I shall be glad to let you keep.
