Quotes
-
Harry Edison : [slightly incredulous at Mel's and Edna's idea to invest in a summer camp] A hundred thousand dollars for a summer camp? Run by a man "that far away" from a nervous breakdown? It'll take him 'til August to figure out how to blow up the volleyball!
-
Edna : I thought you wanted to do something, help him.
Harry Edison : We *do* want to help him!
Edna : Then help him!
Harry Edison : Not when he's sick. When he's better, we'll help him.
-
Harry Edison : I'm gonna' tell you something now, Mel. I've never told this to anybody. I don't think you got a brain for business. You can't handle problems. I think you're a child. A baby. A spoiled infant. But as God is my judge, many's a night I lay in bed envying you. Isnt' that something? What I've got, you'll never have, but what you've got, I'd like to have just once.
-
Edna : If Mel could get out of New York and move to the country somewhere, he'd be one hundred percent better off.
Harry Edison : I agree with you one thousand percent!
-
Harry Edison : You're 113 years old between the two of you, and neither one of you makes any sense.
