Turgidson:
Mr. President, we are rapidly approaching a moment of truth both for ourselves as human beings and for the life of our nation. Now, the truth is not always a pleasant thing, but it is necessary now make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless, distinguishable post-war environments: one where you got twenty million people killed, and the other where you got a hundred and fifty 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 ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh... depended on the breaks.
Muffley:
I will not go down in history as the greatest mass murderer since Adolph Hitler!
Turgidson:
Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American people, than with your image in the history books.
