I come into this world with pink cheeks, and a healthy pair of lungs, and a lot of big ideas. How am I going out of it? A bald head, blue tongue, and a saucer of warm milk with a pill in it.

Quote context

[...]

- My whole life has been a struggle, ever since I was a kid. I started out delivering newspapers. Then I got a job with the A and P, delivering groceries.

- Then the depression came. I got a job with the W.P.A., shoveling snow to eat. That's how I met Alice: she used to hand out the shovels.

- Well... You know, when I think of poor Alice. In six months she's gonna be left all alone. Six months, left alone to fend for herself.

- That reminds me. Do you know I've never made out a will? If I only got six months to go, the first thing I gotta do is make out a will.

- And by the way, I won't forget you in my will. I'm leaving you my bowling shoes.
