Top rated lines from this movie

Oh, I've got all the faith in the world in Johnny. Whatever he does is all right with me. If he wants to dream for a while, he can dream for a while, and if he wants to come back and sell peanuts, oh, how I'll believe in those peanuts.

Well, I feel like a goat being prepared for the sacrifice. -Baaa! -Now, that's a sheep.
