Here are some fillums I haven’t seen mentioned yet (but I didn’t read the entire thread, so sorry if repetitive): RF1 - The world must construe according to its wits; this court must construe according to the law. RF2 - Person one: I can’t make out whether you’re a bloody madman or just half-witted. Person two: I have the same problem, sir. RF3 - Person A: You always have a very smooth explanation… Person B: What do you want me to do, learn to stutter? RF4 - When your head says one thing and your whole life says another, your head always loses. RF5 - Drinking don’t bother my memory. If it did I wouldn’t drink. I couldn’t. You see, I’d forget how good it was, then where’d I be? Start drinkin’ water, again. Roddy ---
