Top rated lines from this movie

Gee, you all act as though you're glad I got that crack on my head.
There are some things in this world that are more important than money. And truth is one of them.
There are times when we have to make compromises with the truth. You know, give a little, yield a point in order to gain our end. -Like getting your college education and helping your family out.
There's a big difference between a liar and an opportunist. It's not going to mark the boy. It's not going to make a confirmed liar out of him.
Truth is truth, Alan. And there are no two ways about it.
