Sterling Silver Dialogue From The Movies:
Do you know where they're from?
"Why didn't you come home before?" (reply) "Why didn't I go to China? Some things you do, some things you don't."
"Home is where you come when you run out of places."
"Aren't there any more comfortable men in this world? Now they're all little and nervous like sparrows or big and worried like sick bears."
"Big mouth, fast dollar. What are you tryin' to buy, the world's approval?"
"That Mae is some dancer. Me, I'm like a hippo on two feet. (Mae's response) "Yeah, MY two feet."
"Jerry's the salt of the earth... but not the right seasoning for you."
"You don't like women, do you?" (reply) "Take any six of 'em - my wife included. Throw 'em up in the air. The one who sticks to the ceiling, I like."
"I'm sorry I got the jumps tonight. I'm talkin' to ya but what I'm thinkin' is: What's my wife doin' in St. Louis... who's she with? Some day I'm going to stick her full of pins just to see if blood comes out."
(After an engagement has been announced) "Congratulations. I'm glad you put the guy out of his misery" (response) "Since when did you start recommending marriage?" (reply) "Since I got my divorce."
"I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said 'yes' to a divorce."
"She can't be all bad... no one is." (reply) "Well, she comes the closest."
"You can never help anything, can you? You're like a leaf that the wind blows from one gutter to another."
"I don't want to die." (reply) "Neither do I, Baby, but if I have to, I'm going to die last."
"I need him like the axe needs the turkey."
