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.
A book? What do you want a book for? -To read. -To read? Why would you wanna read when you got the TV set sitting right in front of you? There's nothing you can get from a book that you can't get from a television faster.
College! I didn't go to college. I don't know anybody who did. Bunch of hippies and cesspool salesmen.
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?
