- I'm told that you wish to buy the centry and put up some more of your chimneys there, regardless of the fact that you'd utterly ruin a house we've had for generations and all of our pleasure here.

- Is it true about the centry?

- Gospel true.

Top rated lines from this movie

What is it that gets loose when you start a fight and makes you what you think you're not? Begin as you may, it ends in this skin game.
Now, look here, you've not had occasion to understand men like me. I've got the guts, and I've got the money and I don't sit still on it. I'm going ahead because I believe in meself. I've no use for sentiment and that sort of thing.

What have you got, gout? Oh, that's unfortunate I never get it. I have no disposition that way. Had no ancestors, you see. Just me own drinking to answer for.
You seem to me a poor sort of creature that's bound to get left with your gout and your dignity. But of course, you can make yourself pretty disagreeable before you're done.
