Movie Quote of the Day (W.C. Fields, Making Change—or Not)


Man: “There's been a mistake in my change.”

Larson E. Whipsnade (played by W.C. Fields):  “Ah, at long last, an honest man. Want to return some money?”

Man: “No, I'm short!”

Whipsnade: “Don't brag about it. I'm only five-feet-eight myself.”—You  Can’t  Cheat an Honest Man (1939), story by Charles Bogle (Fields’ pseudonym), screenplay by George Marion Jr., Richard Mack, and Everett Freeman, with four others uncredited, directed by George Marshall and Edward F. Cline (uncredited)
