[...]

- Oh we could be happy anyway.

- When you say that you just make me mad.

- Now look at my own mother, she's never been to the country for more than one day and never had any nice furniture.

- The dream of her life is a davenport that turns into a double bed at night with a crank.

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.
