Dorothy Quote #815
Quote from Dorothy in Love Under the Big Top
Ken: You know, I have been practicing law for many, many years, and it's always amazed me how little my job actually had to do with justice. This stuff sounds a little better when you've got lapels and a vest. Anyway, my clients are charged with trespass. But the only real crime they committed was their overzealous championing of the defenseless dolphin. The dolphin, Your Honor, that for centuries has rescued men lost at sea, guided ships back to port. No, my clients were not trespassing. My clients were returning the favor. They simply wanted to protect some of nature's best creations from extinction. Your Honor you have the opportunity today to make a very disillusioned lawyer happy. Please answer to a law higher than this state's, and dispense some real justice here.
Judge: Please, let's have a little quiet here. That was a great speech.
Ken: Thank you, Your Honor.
Judge: But help me out here. How about something from a law book?
Ken: OK. The fracas occurred on a seaside dock abutting navigable waters. I don't believe that this court has any jurisdiction.
Judge: That sounds legal to me. Counselor, your last day has been a good one.

‘Love Under the Big Top’ Quotes
Quote from Sophia
Blanche: Hi, Sophia. Boy, I tell you, there is nothing more invigorating than spending a little time on a boat.
Sophia: Oh, yeah? Not when I sailed to America. Picture it. There we were, a tired, poor, huddled mass eating marinara sauce out of a can. It was hell. And the entertainment? Some guy from Palermo forgot his accordion, so he sat around singing "0 Solo Mio" while squeezing a monkey.
Blanche: Sophia.
Sophia: Sophia what? It was the worst time of my life. If it weren't for pin the tail on the French, we would've gone stir-crazy.
Quote from Rose
Rose: We may not agree with the fishermen, but we want this demonstration to be peaceful. In the tradition of you know, the short, bald Indian fellow with the glasses and the diaper. You know, the one who didn't eat and won an Oscar.
Quote from Blanche
Rose: Oh, isn't this exciting? Taking part in a protest. Standing up as free Americans and exercising our right to say: "We're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore!"
Blanche: I'm out of spit. Can I go now?
Rose: Twenty envelopes and you're ready to quit? Blanche, we joined the Friends of Sea Mammals for a reason.
You are so unmotivated.
Blanche: Well, when I joined this Mammals with Blowholes thing, I didn't expect to be carrying picket signs on some grungy dock. I was hoping more for a fundraiser cocktail party with Chinese lanterns and Portuguese, no, Hispanic waiters in tight black pants. And we hire a band to play fish songs in pirate suits with muscles bulging.
Rose: Your mouth is watering now, Blanche. Keep licking.
