• Albert Freedman : If you were a kid, would you wanna be an annoying Jewish guy with a side wall haircut?

  Charles Van Doren : Well I wanted to be Joe Dimaggio.

• Charles Van Doren : I'm just trying to imagine what Kant would make of this.

  Albert Freedman : I don't think he'd have a problem with it.

• Dan Enright : He blames Charles Van Doren for his downfall. And of course, the real downfall of Herbert Stempel has always been Herbert Stempel.

  Albert Freedman : Herbert Stempel, absolutely. Well, you met him. Does he seem stable to you?

  Dick Goodwin : The thing of it is... I looked it up. It's true.
