At the end of Good Morning, Vietnam Robin Williams says, ‘Carry on, Montesquieu.’ Is this a quote from somewhere? If so, whence?
Possibly referencing “J’ai toujours vu que, pour réussir dans le monde, il fallait avoir l’air fou et être sage.”
Translation via Wiki: I have always observed that to succeed in the world one should appear like a fool but be wise.
So, not any direct quote, but it has the right feel for that point of the movie.
What do I know? I also liked Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor.

Since this is a quote about a writer from a movie, let’s move this to Cafe Society. Title edited to clarify subject. Please use descriptive thread titles.

To get the obvious out of the way: he says that to Edward Montesquieu Garlick, right? That is, to a guy who introduced himself as Edward Montesquieu Garlick, prompting a quick “first thing, Garlick: you gotta requisition a new name” reply?
