Walt Whittaker Quotes in The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming (1966)

Walt Whittaker: Look, can I give you some advice? You'll never make it down to the harbor. Why don't you all give yourselves up? Either you'll kill somebody, or you'll get killed. Either way - you could start a war!

Lieutenant Rozanov: What is your name?

Walt Whittaker: Whittaker. Walt...

Lieutenant Rozanov: Remark to this, Whittaker Walt. We must have boat. Even now may be too late. This is your island, I make your responsibility you help us get boat quickly, otherwise there is World War III, and everybody is blaming YOU!

Pete Whittaker: Ask them if they're Russians!

Walt Whittaker: Peter, be quiet.

Lieutenant Rozanov: [thick Russian accent] Very clever little boy. Very, very clever, to see that my friend and I are foreigners here, but of course not Russian, naturally. What would the Russians be doing on United States of America island, with so many animosities and hatreds between these two countries? It is too funny an idea, is it not? No, we... we are of course... Norveegans.

Walt Whittaker: Norweigans?

Lieutenant Rozanov: [nods] On a small training exercise for the Nyaato countries...

Alexei Kolchin: NATO!

Lieutenant Rozanov: Nay-toe countries, of course, yes. Ah, to reach place of power motorboats it is necessary to make borrowings of automobile, for a short time only, sir.

Walt Whittaker: Uh... uh... may, may I ask you something, please?

Lieutenant Rozanov: Yes, of course.

Walt Whittaker: Are, are there nine of you out there, and are you all Russians with machine guns, and does one of you look like Uncle Ha... I meant, look like a wrestler?

Lieutenant Rozanov: [beat] Unnnnnnngh... I am sorry to, uh, comply with your statement, but misfortunately, all of the answers to these questions are... yes.

[draws gun]

Lieutenant Rozanov: Always I am saying goodbye to you, and always I am meeting you again.

[hands his gun to Walt]

Pete Whittaker: You'd better surrender 'cause my Dad has all the guns! So you'd just better surrender...

Walt Whittaker: [to Pete] Pete. Be quiet!

Walt Whittaker: [to Rozanov] I'm sorry. Are you hurt?

Lieutenant Rozanov: I'm wounded in dignity only. Please, I know everybody on this island is complete and total crazy. But you, Whittaker Walt? You are crazy too? I only came back here to get Kolchin.

Walt Whittaker: [stammering] It's just that when I saw you and the gun, well, I thought something had happened to Annie, our daughter. I'm sorry, I... I wasn't trying to... Well, I... I was trying to kill you, I'll admit that, but it wasn't... I mean, it wasn't anything personal.

Lieutenant Rozanov: Hmm... don't do it no more.

Walt Whittaker: No. No. It's the last time I'll ever shoot anybody.

Lieutenant Rozanov: Peace.

[extends his hand]

Walt Whittaker: Peace.

[takes Rozanov's hand and shakes it]

Lieutenant Rozanov: It is necessary for you to remain in this house at most vigorously for short time only.

Walt Whittaker: Well, we're not going anywhere but...

Lieutenant Rozanov: Good! Please to remain absolutely good behaved so that this man, marksman of prize winning caliber, will not have the necessity of shooting you to small pieces!

Lieutenant Rozanov: [in Russian to Kolchin] Watch them.

[points to Peter]

Lieutenant Rozanov: [in Russian] And especially watch that little bastard too.

[Pete accuses his father of collabotaring with the enemy]

Pete Whittaker: You told them everything they wanted to know, just like Arnold Benedict!

Walt Whittaker: That's Benedict Arnold, not Arnold... What are you saying, Pete? Are you saying you think your father is a TRAITOR?

Pete Whittaker: Yes I am! I bet I'm the only kid in the fourth grade whose father IS a famous trader.

Walt Whittaker: That's "traitor". Just stop it, Pete! You're being silly!

Pete Whittaker: I counted them. There are nine of 'em!

Walt Whittaker: Oh, come on, Pete.

Pete Whittaker: Two of them got tommyguns. And they're all talking some foreign language. They could be Russians or something!

Elspeth Whittaker: Pete, will you sit down and eat your breakfast, please?

Walt Whittaker: [to Alison] Did your brother Fred come with you? Hi, Fred come in! I've got him now...

[jumps on Kolchin's back]

Lieutenant Rozanov: How many members of the police department here? 20? 40?

Walt Whittaker: Maybe three or four.

Pete Whittaker: Don't tell 'em anything. He hasn't even tortured you yet.

Alexei Kolchin: He want to look at America.

Walt Whittaker: What for?

Alexei Kolchin: He never saw it.
