The President's Analyst

One of the late, great James Coburn's best. My favorite scene is the one where he's tripping with the hippies in the tall grass, while just steps outside of their "scene," rival secret-agent-types are offing each other with silenced pistols. A fine metaphor for the Sixties.

Another one was when they've cut the power at The Phone Company and are about to blow it up when Dr. Schaffer refuses to take the M16 to shoot their way out.

To which Godfrey Cambridge replies: "Look. You want to be the great humanitarian? You want to save the world? Take the gun."

Priceless.

That movie has almost as many great one-liners as does Casablanca.

Yep, that's a great scene, like so many of them are in that movie full of metaphors.

My favorite scene is inside TPC HQ when James Coburn doesn't want to use a gun, and Godfrey Cambridge says, "You want to save the world? Then take the gun."
