The FBI Story

John Michael Hardesty:
[Opening narration] Webster's International Dictionary defines murder as the unlawful taking of human life by another human being. On a November evening in 1955 the definition became obsolete. A mass murder was being planned.

John Gilbert Graham:
[after being arrested for murder] In case I get any mail, you can send it to Canon City Prison for the next month or so. After that you can send it to Hell!

Firing range instructor:
[Holding up an automatic weapon] Let me repeat again - get to know this weapon. Craftiness can solve many a criminal case, but with hoodlums you sometimes need a good conscientious, hard-working machine gun.

Lucy Ann Hardesty:
Chip, you can't just get married like ordering a ham sandwich!

John Michael Hardesty:
You can if you're hungry!

Sam Crandall:
[Saying goodbye to John and Lucy as they leave on their honeymoon] Good luck! I hope the fish are biting.

John Michael Hardesty:
[With a knowing smile] I was kinda hopin' they wouldn't be.

John Michael Hardesty:
On Sunday morning he left the house. He couldn't be going to work. Since he was a Communist, we knew he wasn't going to church.
