Cop663: [to new bar of soap] You mustn't let yourself go. You've gained weight so fast. She may have gone but life goes on. You must stop indulging yourself. Cop663: [to new towel] You're a real disappointment to me. You've changed so much. You can't...
Elwood P. Dowd: [talking about Harvey] Did I tell you he could stop clocks? Dr. Chumley: To what purpose. Elwood P. Dowd: Well, you've heard the expression; 'his face would stop a clock'. Dr. Chumley: Mm-hmm. Elwood P. Dowd: Well, Harvey can look at ...
