[Samples from the movie "The Brain Eaters" (1958)]:

"I don't like to push you, Kettering, but you science boys tend to get all wrapped up in your test tubes and the obvious things escape your attention. I've got to have something to report. I want action, not theory."

"Come on, now. What's really on the inside of that thing?"
"I don't know."

"For all we know is this is not an American project. This cone is a useless piece of junk. We're wasting our time here."
