Phyllis MacNamara : Feeling pretty good, aren't you mein fuehrer?
C.R. MacNamara : Not bad.

[MacNamara is struggling to come up with an explanation for the fact that Scarlet is pregnant]
C.R. MacNamara : Let me see... she was secretly married... to somebody in the American Embassy. They were honeymooning in the Alps... he was killed by an avalanche.
[MacNamara shakes his head in frustration]
C.R. MacNamara : Nah, that's no good.
[MacNamara continues thinking until he comes up with something else]
C.R. MacNamara : He was sent on a secret mission behind the Iron Curtain, never heard from again. As a matter of fact, the whole thing was so secret, we can't even mention his name!
Phyllis MacNamara : Now you're really running amuck. Do you really think that Scarlet is going to stand still for...
C.R. MacNamara : Better a dead hero than a live Communist! First thing in the morning, I'll pick up a Distinguished Service Medal. It was awarded to him posthumously.
Phyllis MacNamara : And while you're at it, pin one on yourself. First Class Heel with Oak Leaves clustered.
