Benny Quote #51

Quote from Benny in A Hardware Habit to Break

Marty: I don't know how Harry does it. I mean, it's impossible to move merchandise at these prices.
Benny: I have a theory.
Marty: Let me guess. Harry had a better selection of donuts.
Benny: Yes. But that's not my point.
Tim: What is your point, Benny?
Benny: Well, people had a long-standing relationship with Harry, so they were willing to pay more. Once Harry left, people didn't have to feel guilty about switching to Tool Mart.
Tim: I never thought I'd say this. Benny's right.
Benny: I know I'm right. I bought a faucet at Tool Mart this morning. Saved myself a bundle.

Quote from Tim

Marty: Wilson, we're not making any money. What did Harry have that we don't?
Wilson: Well, people trusted Harry. He was the kind of guy who stood behind everything he sold. He'd do anything for a customer.
Tim: I'm that kind of guy.
Wilson: Well, I know that, Tim. But I'm not sure everybody else does.
Tim: Then, Marty, we gotta get the word out.
Marty: I know! We can print up flyers! Then we can get on our bikes and we can plaster them all over the neighborhood!
Tim: Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay! Marty! Yeah! And then... Wait a minute... We'll sell lemonade in the driveway! And put cards in our spokes that go like this! We'll have big lollipops! And then we'll have a puppet show for all the rest of the kids in the neighborhood! What the hell's the matter with you?

Quote from Benny

Harry: Delores.
Tim: Oh, her asthma's acting up again?
Harry: Oh, yeah. She wants to move to a warmer climate.
