Robert Mitchum: Victor 'Pug' Henry

Quotes 

• Rhoda Henry : The best parties you have ever seen. They are the nicest people.

  Fred Fearing : Spending time with the Stollers? Honey, the trouble with you is, you don't know what the hell is going on!

  Rhoda Henry : How dare you say that to me!

  Victor 'Pug' Henry : Hey, what's it all about, Fred?

  Fred Fearing : The Wolf Stollers, Pug. Loveliest people your wife ever met.

  Rhoda Henry : I said the nicest Germans, and they are. I thought broadcasters were supposed to be impartial. You are wildly prejudiced.

  Fred Fearing : Time for you to go home, Rhoda.

  Rhoda Henry : And just what does that mean?

  Fred Fearing : Well, kid, if you think people like the Wolf Stollers are nice, you've got to get back on American chow for a while and The New York Times.

  Rhoda Henry : Oh, well aren't we the nice, clever radio personality? I just know the German people are not monsters with tails and horns. They're just ordinary people, however misguided. Or did some Fräulein climb into your bed with cloven hoofs, dear?

  Victor 'Pug' Henry : It might be easier to navigate in this country, Rhoda, if the bad ones *did* sprout horns and grow hair on the palms of their hands or something.

  Fred Fearing : What Wolf Stoller has on his palms is blood, lots of it. He acts unaware of it. You and Rhoda encourage his color-blindness, Pug, by acting the same way.

  Rhoda Henry : Lords of mercy me! If that isn't the wildest poppycock! Freddie Fearing, *you* are the one who should go home. Merry Christmas!

  Chargé Reese Claremont : Now Fred, it's Pug's job to socialize with people like Stoller. I propose a moratorium tonight on discussing Germans.

  Rhoda Henry : I agree!

  Fred Fearing : [standing up to leave]  Pug Henry, I like you. I guess I'll go for a walk.
