A scene from The Day the Earth Stood Still 1951
Bobby

[indicating grave marker during a visit to Arlington]

That's my father. He was killed at Anzio.

Klaatu

Did all those people die in wars?

Bobby

Most of 'em. Didn't you ever hear of the Arlington Cemetery?

Klaatu

No, I'm afraid not.

Bobby

You don't seem to know much about anything, do you, Mr. Carpenter?

Klaatu

Well, I'll tell you, Bobby, I've been away a long time. Very far away.

Bobby

Is it different where you've been? Don't they have places like this?

Klaatu

Well, they have cemeteries, but not like this one. You see, they don't have any wars.

Bobby

Gee, that's a good idea.

In this scene

Bobby Billy Gray
