![]() Art Carney Quotation"I love Ed Norton and what he did for my career. But the truth is that we couldn't have been more different. Norton was the total extrovert, there was no way you could put down his infectious good humor. Me? I'm a loner and a worrier." "I don't tell jokes, and if I tried, I couldn't hold an audience's attention for five minutes. Movie Title: Harry and Tonto (1974) as Harry: Harry : You never really feel somebody's suffering; you only feel their death. Movie Title: The Night They Saved Christmas (1984) as Santa Claus: Santa Claus : [to the elves] I'm going to tell you one more time. Sing anything you want. White Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. But no more Jingle Bells! Movie Title: House Calls (1978) as Dr. Willoughby: Dr. Solomon : Do you know what he calls you? Dr. Willoughby : Yeah. The Old Fart. Dr. Solomon : No sir... He calls you... Golden Hands Willoughby! Dr. Willoughby : Golden Hands. Silverman, you're a goddamned liar. Dr. Willoughby : It has often been said that great men aren't appreciated until they die. Well, you're dead and we appreciate it. Movie Title: The Honeymooners (1955) as Norton / Ed Norton: Ralph : Wouldn't it be a lot easier just to buy a new watch? Norton : I don't need a new watch, Ralph. There's nothing wrong with this one. It just needs a new mainspring, that's all. I'll have to find out where to get it repaired. I think I'll write a letter to Walt Disney about it tonight. Ralph : Norton, if a man in a white coat ever knocks on your door, don't ask for tutti-frutti, 'cause he ain't the Good Humor man. Ralph : Norton, I'm gonna count to five. And when I get to five you better be out that door. Norton : I'm not a-scared of you. If you could count they wouldn't be investigating your taxes. [repeated line] Ed Norton : Sheesh. What a grouch. [repeated line] Ed Norton : Tough luck, Ralphie-boy. Ed Norton : Heeey, Ralphie Boy! Ed Norton : Like we say in the sewer, "time and tide wait for no man". [Ralph has been laid off] Ed Norton : I know just how you feel because I went through the same thing two or three years ago when they laid me off from the sewer. I felt just like a fish out of water. Ed Norton : What are you doing there, Ralphie Boy? Ralph : I'm making a list of all my weak points. Ed Norton : Oh. Is that all the paper you're going to use? Ed Norton : [to Ralph] Look, just don't get upset. You're gettin' all upset now. Let's calm down and look nice when we get down there. There's no sense in getting upset. Now listen, the boys in the sewer, there, when we get upset we got a little motto... a little saying that gives us comfort in time of need. Maybe I can pass it on to you. May I favor you with this little ode? "When the tides of life turn against you, and the current upsets your boat. Don't waste those tears on what might have been, just lay on your back and float." Ralph : Me and my silly pride. I promise you this, Norton, I'm gonna learn. I'm gonna learn from hereon in how to swallow my pride. Ed Norton : Well that ought not to be too hard. You learned how to swallow everything else. Ralph : GET OUT! [Ed has been fired] Ed Norton : Ol' Ed Norton, reliable old Ed Norton, working seventeen years in the sewer. And now everything's down the drain! Movie Title: The Late Show (1977) as Ira: Ira : You were born dumb and you're gonna die dumb. Ira : I'm not as young as I used to be. Movie Title: The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) as Bernard Crawford: Ronnie Crawford : Dad! Dad! I've got great news! [Bernard sees Kermit] Bernard Crawford : If you two are in love, I don't wanna know about it. [On Manhattan Melodies] Bernard Crawford : Just because the whole thing is crazy doesn't mean it won't make it on Broadway! Ronnie Crawford : Well I told you... I want to do something different! Bernard Crawford : So put some Jell-O down your pants! Movie Title: Last Action Hero (1993) as Frank: [Frank's last words] Frank : I'm out of here... Frank : We mostly talk muzzle velocities. Guns. |
