A few great lines, from an otherwise dumb movie:
Dr.
Strangelove: Naturally, they
would breed prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. Ha,
ha. But ah, with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females
to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present
Gross National Product within say, twenty years.
Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of
ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the
so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Dr.
Strangelove: Regrettably, yes.
But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I
hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious...service
along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual
characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
Russian Ambassador: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea
there, Doctor.
