- Congratulations young man.

- Thanks.

- Now, I suppose I'll have to hire you back at a fat increase.

Top rated lines from this movie

And while I'm on the subject, I just want to tell you that of all the groups of fat heads, that I've ever had the misfortune to gaze upon, you take the log pail.
