One of my favorite Daffy lines, and useful on so many occasions: “It’s not the principle of the thing – it’s the money!” ---

My favorites have all been taken (some more than once), so here are a couple that stick in my mind, and I’m not even sure why: “Oh Belvedere! Come here, boy!” “Are _you_ from _Texas_?” ---

In addition to many already mentioned: > [@Fritz](#): > > Part of my life’s soundtrack is Carl Stalling’s music. Although it isn’t strictly a Stalling creation, it is most famous for his use and reworking of it: Raymond Scott’s “Powerhouse.” I will frequently burst out singing that piece whenever an appropriately chaotic and mechanically-themed situation presents itself in my life.

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned - but a couple bear repeating… “Pardon me, excuse me, pardon me” (quickly muttered under one’s breath) - in a theater or other crowd seating area When finding loose change on the ground: “I’m rich! I’m rich! I’m a happy miser! I’m comfortably well-off!” Not sure if this is a Bugs/WB quote or just something from the era - but when someone leaves the room (especially one of the dogs or a small child) “Write when you get work”. ---

Oh hell, I do that all the time too. Lots of situations need theme music and it’s remarkable how often “Powerhouse” fits. I broke out with the “Dick Van Dyke Show” theme song when watching a news clip of McCain walking out to give a speech the other day. Cracked a couple people up. But that doesn’t really fit in this thread. ---
