Top rated lines from this movie

Well, I don't know how you feel about Wall Street, Doctor, but I mailed this shoebox to JP Morgan with a time bomb in it. And it came back because of insufficient postage. Blew the whole roof off my boarding house.
Don't you understand? The Bolsheviks are everywhere! They're taking over! They're coming out of the sewers like rats. Climbing up our flagpole and gnawing away at our Stars and Stripes!
