Born Yesterday (1993 film)

"You know how when somebody dies, it's OK to feel sad, but then at other times, when you're supposed to be happy and you feel sad, it's worse than the times when you're allowed to be sad?"

"Oh, don't worry about him. He's too busy being a big man."

"Did you teach me to cheat 'cause you think I can't learn?"

"You know what your problem is, Harry? You're not just rude, you're...[pulls out a pocket dictionary and looks up a word]..."flagrant" about it!"

"How come I feel like I don't fit in any more? Tell me why am I so unhappy with everything that I used to want."

"You got money, Harry, but you got a cheap life."

"Men are unbelievable. I give and give and give and it's like wallpaper to you. You just walk right past it. Then you make one effort and you think we're equal. It only looks like a big effort because you never made one before."

"Being smart isn't just about books. It's about asking questions. It's about finding out why things are the way they are."

"People always pretend to be smarter than they are."

"The whole damn history of the world is the story of the fight between the selfish and the unselfish."

"Listen. Anybody that works in this room, tell them to do it good, do it fast, nobody gets hurt. I don't like a lot of people around all the time, and I don't like waiting for nothin'."

"You don't save money, bud, you make it!"

"You show me a businessman believes in fate, I'll show you the first businessman who ever went broke. I started with a wagon, selling somebody's junk. And I got here in a silk suit, talking to a college know-it-all like you. If I lose it, I'll meet you right back here in this room, in a new silk suit."

"Don't Harvard talk me. I didn't make my money by being an idiot."
