Quote from Sam in I Will Gladly Pay You Tuesday
Diane: Sam, I know you to be a man of pride and principle, but strength is also to be found in the ability to bend. Witness the willow, nature's strongest tree. Sam: No, I thought the oak was the strongest tree. Diane: Only in furniture. Sam: What about the saying "strong as the mighty oak"? Diane: The oak can be felled by a single harsh wind under the right circumstances. Sam: All right, but what about birch and mahogany? Now, those-- Diane: Would you shut up about the damn trees? Sam: You brought them up.
