John Marley Quotes:

Frankie Ballou: [coming home from a drunken brawl] ... and some of them, the very few, Stay pickled 'til they're ninety-twoooo!
[literally falls off the wagon]


Garabet: [Talking about money] Now then, big money. Big money is fertile. It procreates. How I don't know. But it reproduces itself. Every time you look, there's more, but there's only two ways men like us can get big money... steal it, or, if you're young, marry. But you can't get it by work.


Richard Forst: What does Dracula do every night at midnight? He takes a coffin break.
