Quote context

[...]

- The booby hatches are full of people that keep things to themselves, either because they're scared of tellin' the truth, thinkin' that they'll make a monkey out of themselves or they figure that no one else can appreciate the situation they're in. Okay?

- Well, the Good Neighbors believe that ain't so.

- And just who...

- A club I belong to back home. It's like the Alcoholics Anonymous.

- Their luncheons are a riot.

- Over the speaker's desk, they've got a great big towel with the letters 'For crying out loud' embroidered on it.

- And every member has his own crying towel, get it?

- Now, when they bring in a bad case, a couple of the Good Neighbors hold the towel for the fella so he can concentrate on weeping, and then don't have to exert himself in any other way.

- Well, it turns out to be a good old-fashioned revival meeting and the fella who has no particular worries at the time, he sort of feels left out of things.

- And if this fella don't actually wind up laughing at himself, at least he feels better.

- And the main thing is, everybody does, because nine times out of 10, they think they're better off than the other fella.

Top rated lines from this movie

I got news for you guys. We just passed the point of no return.
Fella, you have never lived until you've been chased around the palm tree by that guy's wife.
I've heard about you for years and I'm sick of the sound your name!
Do like she says or no life vest is gonna keep you from drowning because I'm gonna hold your head under till you stop wigglin'!
Funny thing how a fella can sleep with four big engines hollering in his ears, only wake up when they stop hollering. Imagine silence waking you up at home?
