Good Neighbor Sam (1964)

Edward Andrews: Mr. Burke

Quotes 

• Mr. Burke : [pitching an ad campaign]  "For The Masculine Way Of Life - Nurdlinger Eggs" The gentlemen has it at just the right curve. We imply it without actually hitting them over the head with it. You see, Mr. Nurdlinger, what we're gearing up to here is to touch that psychological nerve in all men. The symbol of masculinity and fertility: the egg!

• Mr. Burke : Well, sir, what do you think?

  Simon Nurdlinger : You want to know what I think?

  Mr. Burke : Yes.

  Simon Nurdlinger : I think it's an abomination! Pure filth! I'm not a prudish man, sir; but, I believe the Almighty gave us good, clean married conjugal for the purpose of raising families - not to sell eggs with. Dirty, salacious ads! Unchastity! Venery! Wenching! Flesh and blood. Is that the image you have of my company?

• Simon Nurdlinger : I tell you what I think of you. I think you're all rotten to the core and I think I've chosen the wrong advertising agency.

  Mr. Burke : Just a minute, Mr. Nurdlinger. We are all good, clean family men here.

  Simon Nurdlinger : Now, don't try to fool me, sir. I'm an old man; but, I'm nobody's fool, sir. Good, clean, living family men? Miss Halverson.

  [she hands him a set of files] 

  Simon Nurdlinger : I've run checks on you good, clean, living family men. There are dossiers on each of you.

• Mr. Burke : There must be someone in this whole, vast organization who can pass moral muster. A good husband, a good neighbor, a normal, everyday family man.
