Turgidson: "Mr. President. We are rapidly approaching a moment of truth,
both for ourselves as human beings, and for the life of out nation. Now,
truth is not always a pleasant thing. But, it is necessary now to make
a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless
distinguishable post-war environments. One where you got 20 million people
killed, and the other where you got 150 million people killed."
Muffley: "You're talking about mass murder, General, not war."
Turgidson: "Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed.
But, I do say, no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops - ah, depending
on the breaks."
