3 For instance, madam, have you any idea how many pieces of candy you eat a day? -No, I never gave it a thought. -That's just it. -We pick up a piece of candy absent-mindedly, then we take another piece. Before we know it, we've gained a couple of pounds.

— Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan)

4 So, you are the manager? How do I know you're the manager? Anyone can say that. Prove it to me. Prove it to me in black and white. -Oh, you want it in black and white? Alright! You're gonna get it in black and blue.

7 Did I make any derogatory remark about the goose liver? -No, not any! Not one word! -I merely said that I had too much goose liver. -A little too much goose liver. -A little too much goose liver. Not one word more, and not one word less.

— Alfred Kralik (James Stewart)

8 Did you ever get a bonus? -Yes, once. -The boss hands you the envelope, you wonder how much is in it, you don't want to open it. As long as the envelope's closed, you're a millionaire. You keep postponing that moment and you can't postpone it forever.

— Alfred Kralik (James Stewart)

9 I think people who like to smoke candy and listen to cigarettes will love it.
10 I'd even go further. I think it'll make music lovers out of cigarette smokers and cigarette smokers out of music lovers.
