Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Best.Movie.Title.Ever.
С участието на : Питър Селърс, Питър Селърс и Питър Селърс

Герои на деня: ''Гениите'' от Columbia Pictures, които се съгласили да финансират филма само при условие, че Питър Селърс играе четири главни роли ( които, един счупен глезен по- късно, са сведени до три) . Поради някакава много интересна пичина те били останали с впечатлението, че относителният успехът на Лолита (1962, Кубрик) се е дължал на факта, че в него Селърс играе човек подвизаващ се под различни самоличности. И така, стремейки се към по-големи приходи, те създават идеалната среда, в която комедийният гений на актьора да се развихри. Така че, имайки предвид и крайния резултат, може би все пак нашите приятели от продуцентското студио дори заслужават да им махна кавичките от ''гениите''. Може би.

President Merkin Muffley calls the Soviet Premier

Hello? Hello, Dimitri? Listen, I can't hear too well, do you suppose you could turn the music down just a little? Oh, that's much better. Yes. Fine, I can hear you now, Dimitri. Clear and plain and coming through fine. I'm coming through fine too, eh? Good, then. Well then as you say we're both coming through fine. Good. Well it's good that you're fine and I'm fine. I agree with you. It's great to be fine.
(laughs)
Now then Dimitri. You know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the bomb. The bomb, Dimitri. The hydrogen bomb. Well now what happened is, one of our base commanders, he had a sort of, well he went a little funny in the head. You know. Just a little... funny. And uh, he went and did a silly thing.
(listens)
Well, I'll tell you what he did, he ordered his planes... to attack your country.
(listens)
Well let me finish, Dimitri. Let me finish, Dimitri.
(listens)
Well, listen, how do you think I feel about it? Can you imagine how I feel about it, Dimitri? Why do you think I'm calling you? Just to say hello?
(listens)
Of course I like to speak to you. Of course I like to say hello. Not now, but any time, Dimitri. I'm just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened.
(listens)
It's a friendly call. Of course it's a friendly call. Listen, if it wasn't friendly, ... you probably wouldn't have even got it.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake and General Jack D. Ripper

General Jack D. Ripper: When they tortured you did you talk?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Ah, oh, no... well, I don't think they wanted me to talk really. I don't think they wanted me to say anything. It was just their way of having a bit of fun, the swines. Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras.

General Jack D. Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water? 
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have. 
General Jack D. Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water? 
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes. 
General Jack D. Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, hmm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack. 
General Jack D. Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that seventy percent of you is water? 

                                                                [. . .]
General Jack D. Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water? 

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh? Yes, II have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes. 

General Jack D. Ripper: Well, do you know what it is? 

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no. 

General Jack D. Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

Dr. Strangelove

Dr. Strangelove: Yes, but the whole point of the doomsday machine is lost if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, eh? 

Russian Ambassador: It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises.

General Buck Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ration of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned? 

Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
