You're on that merry-go-round and you've got to ride it all the way... round and round... till the blasted music wears itself out and the thing dies down and clunks to a stop.

— Don Birnam (Ray Milland)

Quote context

[...]

- That young lady stopped in last night, looking for ya.

- What young lady?

- The one with the leopard coat.

- Yeah. She was acting like she just happened to drop in, but I know she was making the rounds after you.

- What did you say to her?

- I said you hadn't been in for two weeks.

- I can't let her see me. Not now while I'm off like this.

- Why don't you cut it short?

- Don't talk like a child. You can't cut it short!

- You're on that merry-go-round and you've got to ride it all the way... round and round... till the blasted music wears itself out and the thing dies down and clunks to a stop.

- Hey, how about you eatin' some of this?

- Take it away.

- You gotta eat somethin' sometime.

- Just give me another drink.

- Mr. Birnam, this is the mornin'.

- That's when you need it most, in the morning. Haven't you learned that yet? At night, this stuff's a drink. In the morning, it's medicine.

- Okay if I eat?

- A little to one side.

- Nat, are you ever scared when you wake up? So scared the sweat starts out of ya, huh? No, not you. With you it's simple. Your alarm clock goes off and you open your eye and brush your teeth and read the Daily Mirror. That's all.

Top rated lines from this movie

You know the circle is the perfect geometric figure. No end, no beginning...

Two bottles of rye. -What brand? -You know what brand, Mr. Brophy. The cheapest. None of that twelve year old, aged-in-the-wood chichi. Not for me. Liquor is all one, anyway.

Or it maybe Sunday. That's the worst. No liquor stores at all. And you guys wouldn't open a bar, not until one o'clock. Why? Why, Nat? -Because we gotta go to church once in a while. That's why. -Yeah, when a guy needs it most.

See that guy over there? With him it's beetles. Come the night, he sees beetles crawling all over him. Has to be dark, though.

Come on. I need that liquor, I want it, I'm going to get it, understand. I'm going to walk out of here with that quart of rye, one way or another.
