Quotes from Edmund Gwenn movies and TV shows

Doris: Would you please tell her that you're not really Santa Claus, that actually is no such person?

Dr. Harold Medford: Get the antennae! Get the antennae.
Dr. Harold Medford: We may be witnesses to a Biblical prophecy come true - 'And there shall be destruction and darkness come upon creation, and the beasts shall reign over the earth.'.
