Lawson by HUAC chairman J. Parnell Thomas

Thomas: Are you a member of the Communist Party or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

Lawson: It's unfortunate and tragic that I have to teach this committee the basic principles of Americanism.

Thomas: That's not the question. That's not the question. The question is—have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

Lawson: I am framing my answer in the only way in which any American citizen can frame his answer to...

Thomas: Then you deny it?

Lawson: ...a question that invades his...absolutely invades his privacy.

Thomas: Then you deny... You refuse to answer that question, is that correct?

Lawson: I have told you that I will offer my beliefs, my affiliations and everything else to the American public and they will know where I stand as they do from what I have written.

Thomas: Stand away from the stand...

Lawson: I have written for Americanism for many years...

Thomas: Stand away from the stand...

Lawson: And I shall continue to fight for the Bill of Rights, which you are trying to destroy.

Thomas: Officer, take this man away from the stand

12. 'Mortimer and Happy? That’s all you could come up with?'

X and Y have only appeared on-screen together once.

This momentous occasion took place for about 30 seconds during the 1988

film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. Getting these colossi together took some doing, however. Fortunately, the man who was able to accomplish this task was none other than acclaimed director and producer Steven Spielberg. Several years prior, W had taken on the expensive budget for the Spielberg flick Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Newly-elected as the CEO of Z, W hoped Spielberg would return the favorwith Roger Rabbit. As W had believed, Spielberg was able to deliver in a very big way. The one caveat was that Y's company demanded that Y only be featured in scenes opposite X and that the pair had to speak the same number of words of dialogue.
