Top rated lines from this movie

Say, listen. You've fixed yourself nice and comfortable. You can live off your wife now. She'll buy the drinks and put up with you even if nobody else will.
Let's make this thing international!
And now I want to make a speech. Gentlemen of the academy and fellow suckers, I got one of those once for the best performance once. It don't mean a thing! People get'em every year!

Won't they miss you? -Oh, no. They'll just look under the table and when they see I'm not there, they'll forget the whole matter.
