Newman Quote #20

Quote from Newman in The Pitch/The Ticket

Newman: As you were saying, Mr. Kramer...
Kramer: What was the question?
Newman: You're telling how your parents pushed you into banking.
Kramer: Uh, well, my father when I was a kid, he took me to the bank and he lifted me up and he pointed to the teller and he said: 'Sonny boy, take a good look at him, that's gonna be you some day.'
Newman: But you never became a banker, did you Mr. Kramer? Why? Why did you fail?
Kramer: I don't know.
Newman: It was because you hated your father and you would do anything to displease him. Isn't that true?
Judge: Uh, could you get to the speeding?
Newman: Yes, yes. I intend to Your Honor.
