Top rated lines from this movie

I say appearance is nine-tenths of the law. People don't buy a car, they buy me. Which is why I personally take such pride in my appearance: well-oiled hair, clean shaved, snappy suit.

You like to read? -Oh, yes, I love to read. -What do you like to read? -Everything, but lately I've been reading Darles Chickens.
Snickerdoodle, what did you do to your hair?
