Quote context

[...]

- But I won't be made a fool of you understand!

- I can't go around handing out private offices and secretaries on the strength of a practical joke, that I personally consider far from funny... Yes sir!

- It would be just as hard to face from in here, if you didn't belong here. Uneasy lies the head that...

- He does belong in here, Mr. Baxter.

- Now, what is the joke this time?

- He belongs in here, because he thinks he belongs in here.

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.
Is it good luck or bad luck when a black cat crosses your path? -Miss, I always say that depends on what happens afterwards.
Pick your winner, send him a check, and tell him to go soak his head!
I just give my money away because I can't sleep at night! I have a guilty conscience.
But since we do everything here in a highly non-commercial basis, I merely take pleasure in giving you this small check written out with my heart's blood! And that's all there is too it, here.
