Citizen X Quote
[the ghost of Joseph Welch speaks to Cohn on his deathbed]
Joseph Welch: Well, how did I do, Mr. Cohn?
Roy Marcus Cohn: The trial is over. You got McCarthy... but you didn't get me.
Joseph Welch: You think you're on trial here? What would you be on trial for? And might I say, Mr. Cohn, for your sexual predilections I bear no grudge, no malice, nor for the hot, secret practices of your friends, not Mr. Hoover, not His Excellency the Cardinal. But shame, Mr. Cohn, for persecuting in public those who are no different than you.
Roy Marcus Cohn: [denying] I'm not gay.
Older Doctor: Suuuure. And you're dying of mumps.
