People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
Luck Be A Lady Tonight
Do you feel lucky, punk?
Chance is the fool’s name for fate.
Leroy, did you know this is Chance Wayne… the famous Hollywood and Broadway celebrity?
They drummed you out of Hollywood, so you come crawling back to Broadway. But Broadway doesn’t go for booze and dope. Now get out of my way, I’ve got a man waiting for me.
But after the opening tomorrow, I’m gonna turn in the worst review anyone has ever read and I’m gonna close your play. Would you like to know why? Because I hate you and everyone you represent. Entitled, selfish, spoiled children. Blissfully untrained, unversed and unprepared to even attempt real art. Handing each other awards for cartoons and pornography.
And I’ll tell you why I can’t put up with you people, because you’re bastard people. That’s what you are, you’re just bastard people and I’m going home and I’m gonna… I’m gonna bite my pillow is what I’m gonna do!
There’s a lotta things about me you don’t know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn’t understand. Things you couldn’t understand. Things you shouldn’t understand.
This is chickenshit, Dottie, if you want to go back to Oregon and make a hundred babies, great, I’m in no position to tell anyone how to live. But sneaking out like this, quitting, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. Baseball is what gets inside you. It’s what lights you up, you can’t deny that.
[sarcastically ] Wow, Richard, you’ve really opened my eyes to what a loser I am. How much do I owe you for those pearls of wisdom?
Pearl, Howard’s your husband. He adores you. You shouldn’t be afraid to tell him how you feel.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Chicago is my kind of town.
You grew up right here!
You know, when I was a kid food was food. Before our scientific magicians poisoned the water, polluted the soil, decimated plant and animal life.
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
You’re probably one of them knee-jerk liberals thinks us gun boys will shoot our guns because it’s an extension of our penises.
I don’t even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack.
