Quote context

[...]

- You guess so, what's it mean?

- It's the bunk.

- Yes. But do you get the play on words?

- Oh Jimmy, you don't need a play on words.

- Any time anybody tells you that coffee makes you sleep you don't need a play on words to know it's the bunk.

- Don't you understand? Don't you understand it's funny?

- It means if you don't sleep at night, it isn't the coffee that keeps you awake, it's the bunk! ...The bed! The bed!

- With me it's the coffee.

- Ooh!

- Oh Jimmy, you know I want you to win. I'm just as anxious as you are.

- And gee, when you lose this one, just think how much better your chances are on the next one.

- Fine chance anybody's got at winning anything if everybody goes around saying coffee keeps you awake.

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.
Pick your winner, send him a check, and tell him to go soak his head!
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.
Is it good luck or bad luck when a black cat crosses your path? -Miss, I always say that depends on what happens afterwards.
Contests! What good are contests anyway? Why they make you a million enemies. And all they prove is you've got too much money in the first place.
