'''Committee member:''' Mr. Enright, you make it sound like you are the victim here.
'''Enright:''' Well, the sponsor makes out, the network makes out, the contestants see money they probably would never see in a lifetime, and the public is entertained! So who gets hurt?
''([[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped|lingering shot of Charles Van Doren suffering a guilt attack as he gets into his taxi]])''
'''Committee member:''' Mr. Freedman, you freely admit that you helped rig these shows.
'''Freedman:''' Yes, sir.
'''Committee member:''' "Yes, sir"? That's it?
'''Freedman:''' Well, sir, I don't know what else to say. Give the public what they want. It's like your business.
'''Committee member:''' And do you see a need for government regulation in this area?
'''Freedman:''' ''[laughing]'' You know, it's not like the quiz shows are a public utility, sir. It's entertainment. We're not exactly hardened criminals here. We're in show business. }}
