George C. Scott as General Buck Turgidson

From

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


General Turgidson, that you will be unable to recall the aircraft
?
transmit
them all.

Muffley: There's nothing to figure out, General Turgidson. This
psychotic
.
Turgidson: Well, I'd like to hold off
judgment
on a thing like that, sir, until all the facts are in.
Muffley: [anger rising] General Turgidson, when you instituted the human reliability tests, you assured me there was no possibility of such a thing ever occurring.
Turgidson: Well I don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole
program
because of a single slip up, sir.

Turgidson: Mr.
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
ten
to twenty million killed, tops. Uh... depended on the breaks.

de Sadesky: What did you say?
Turgidson: I said,
atheist commie
! That's what I said.
de Sadesky: Mr. President, I formally request that you have this ignorant fool removed from the war room.
Muffley: [to Turgidson, and de Sadesky who is on Turgidson's lap] Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!

Russian Ambassador: The Doomsday Machine is designed to trigger itself automatically... It is designed to explode if any attempt is ever made to untrigger it...
Turgidson: That's a load of
trick
.
Muffley: It's absolute madness.
Russian Ambassador: Our source was The New York Times.

Turgidson: Mr. President, I'm beginning to smell a big
fourth plane, just looking for an excuse to clobber us. I mean, if the spaghetti hits the fan
, now we're really in trouble.

Muffley: Is there really a chance for that plane to get through?
Turgidson: Mr. President, if I may speak freely, the
'52. VRROOM! There's jet exhaust, fryin' chickens in the barnyard
.
Muffley: Yeah, but has he got a chance?
Turgidson: Has he got a chance? Hell, Ye...ye...
