Longfellow Deeds: People here are funny. They work so hard at living they forget how to live.

Longfellow Deeds: Last night, after I left you, I was walking along and looking at the tall buildings. And I got to thinkin' about what Thoreau said: "They created a lot of grand palaces here, but they forgot to create the noblemen to put in them."
Longfellow Deeds: Just because I want to give this money to people who need it, they think I'm crazy.
Longfellow Deeds: I guess I found out that all famous people aren't big people.
Cornelius Cobb: She's the dame who slapped that moniker on you: Cinderella Man. You've been making love to a double-dose of cyanide!
Cornelius Cobb: Nah, nah, we're not buying any bulls. What's that? Listen, fella, bulls what I've been selling all my life.
Madame Pomponi: He threw us out bodily. But, bodily!
Babe Bennett: He's honest and sincere and good! If that man's crazy, your honor, the rest of us belong in straight-jackets!

Longfellow Deeds: Even his hands are oily.

Longfellow Deeds: About my playing the tuba. Seems like a lot of fuss has been made about that. If, if a man's crazy just because he plays the tuba, then somebody'd better look into it, because there are a lot of tuba players running around loose. 'Course, I don't see any harm in it. I play mine whenever I want to concentrate. That may sound funny to some people, but everybody does something silly when they're thinking. For instance, the judge here is, is an O-filler. Judge May: A what? Longfellow Deeds: An O-filler. You fill in all the spaces in the O's with your pencil. I was watching him. Longfellow Deeds: That may make you look a little crazy, Your Honor, just, just sitting around filling in O's, but I don't see anything wrong, 'cause that helps you think. Other people are doodlers. Judge May: "Doodlers"? Longfellow Deeds: Uh, that's a word we made up back home for people who make foolish designs on paper when they're thinking: it's called doodling. Almost everybody's a doodler; did you ever see a scratchpad in a telephone booth? People draw the most idiotic pictures when they're thinking. Uh, Dr. von Hallor here could probably think up a long name for it, because he doodles all the time. Longfellow Deeds: Thank you. This is a piece of paper he was scribbling on. I can't figure it out - one minute it looks like a chimpanzee, and the next minute it looks like a picture of Mr. Cedar. You look at it, Judge. Exhibit A for the defense. Looks kind of stupid, doesn't it, Your Honor? But I guess that's all right; if Dr. von Hallor has to, uh, doodle to help him think, that's his business. Everybody does something different: some people are, are ear-pullers; some are nail-biters; that, uh, Mr. Semple over there is a nose-twitcher. Longfellow Deeds: And the lady next to him is a knuckle-cracker. Longfellow Deeds: So you see, everybody does silly things to help them think. Well, I play the tuba.
John Cedar: I'm John Cedar, of the New York firm of Cedar, Cedar, Cedar and Budington. Longfellow Deeds: Cedar, Cedar, Cedar, Budington. Budington must feel like an awful stranger.
Morrow: Pal, look, how would you like to go on a real old-fashioned binge? Longfellow Deeds: Binge? Morrow: Yeah, I mean the real McCoy. Listen, you play saloon with me and I'll introduce you to every wit, nitwit, and half-wit in New York. We'll go on a twister that'll make Omar the soused philosopher of Persia look like an anemic on a goat's milk diet! Longfellow Deeds: Well, I guess that oughtta be fun. Morrow: Fun? Listen, I'll take you on a bender that will live in your memory as a thing of beauty and a joy forever!
MacWade: He's been here three days and what have you numb-skulls brought in? Any halfwit novice could have done better. You imbecilic stoops. Now get out of here before I really tell you what I think of you. Go on, get out! MacWade: What was that? Reporter: I said you were a... uh... I said you had dirty plaster.
Butler: The gentlemen from the opera are still waiting in the boardroom, sir. They're getting a trifle impatient, sir. Longfellow Deeds: They are? I forgot all about them. What do you think they want? John Cedar: Well, your uncle was chairman of the Board of Directors. They probably expect you to carry on. Cornelius Cobb: I'll tell those mugs to keep their shirts on.
Longfellow Deeds: Gee, I'm busy. Do the opera people always come here for their meetings? Cornelius Cobb: Uu-hum. Longfellow Deeds: That's funny. Why is that? Cornelius Cobb: Why do mice go where there's cheese?
Longfellow Deeds: We must give the wrong kind of shows. Italian Opera Board Member: The wrong kind? Why, there isn't any wrong kind or right kind. Opera is opera. Longfellow Deeds: I guess it is. I personally wouldn't care to be the head of a business that kept losing money! That wouldn't be common sense. Incidentally, where is the $180,000 coming from? Italian Opera Board Member: Well, we were rather expecting it to come from you. Longfellow Deeds: Me? Italian Opera Board Member: Naturally. Longfellow Deeds: Excuse me, gentlemen, there's nothing natural about that.
Longfellow Deeds: He talks about women as if they were cattle. Walter: Every man to his taste, sir. Longfellow Deeds: Tell me, Walter, are all these stories I hear about my uncle true? Walter: Well, sir, he sometimes had as many as twenty in the house at the same time. Longfellow Deeds: Twenty! What did he do with them? Walter: That is something I was never able to find out, sir.
Longfellow Deeds: Cedar, Cedar, Cedar and Budington. Funny, I can't think of a rhyme for "Budington". Cornelius Cobb: Why should you? Longfellow Deeds: Well, whenever I run across the funny name, I like to poke around for a rhyme.
John Cedar: I have good news for you, sir. Mr. Semple left a large fortune when he died. He left it all to you, Mr. Deeds. Deducting the taxes, it amounts to something in the neighborhood of $20,000,000. Mrs. Meredith - Housekeeper: How about lunch? Are the gentlemen going to stay or not? Longfellow Deeds: Of course they're going to stay. She's got some fresh orange layered cake, you know, with the thick stuff on the top. Sure, they don't want to go to the hotel. John Cedar: Perhaps you didn't hear what I said, Mr. Deeds. The whole Semple fortune goes to you: $20,000,000. Longfellow Deeds: Oh, yes, I heard you, all right. $20,000,000. That's quite a lot, isn't it. Cornelius Cobb: It'll do in a pinch. Longfellow Deeds: Yes, in deed. I wonder why he left me all that money. I don't need it.
Cornelius Cobb: Look. John Cedar: What? Cornelius Cobb: That tuba player. Well, now I've seen everything.
John Cedar: I wouldn't worry if I were you. Of course, a large portion like this entails a great responsibility. But, you'll have a good deal of help. So, don't worry. Leave everything to me. Longfellow Deeds: Oh, I wasn't worried about that. John Cedar: No? Longfellow Deeds: I was wondering where they're gonna get another tuba player for the band.
Cornelius Cobb: Well, how 'bout tonight? What would you like in the way of entertainment? Longfellow Deeds: Entertainment? Cornelius Cobb: Your uncle had a weakness for dark ones, tall and stately. How would you like yours? Dark or fair? Tall or short? Fat or thin? Tough or tender? Longfellow Deeds: What are you talking about? Cornelius Cobb: Women! Ever heard of 'em? Longfellow Deeds: Oh! Cornelius Cobb: Name your poison and I'll supply it. Longfellow Deeds: Some other time, Cobb. Some other time. Cornelius Cobb: Okay, you're the boss. When your blood begins to boil, yell out.
MacWade: "'I play the tuba to help me think.' This is one of the many startling statements made by Longfellow Deeds, New York's new Cinderella Man, who went out last night to prove that his uncle, M. W. Semple, from whom he inherited 20 million dollars, was a rank amateur in the art of standing the town on its cauliflower ear." Cinderella Man! That's sensational, Babe. Sensational! Babe Bennett: High-powered acting, believe me. MacWade: Get it? Babe Bennett: I was the world's sweetest ingenue. MacWade: Is he really that big a sap? Babe Bennett: He's the original. There're no carbon copies of that one. MacWade: Cinderella Man - Babe, you've stuck a title on that hick that will stick to him the rest of his life!
Walter: If you permit me to say so, sir, you were out on quite a bender last night, sir. Longfellow Deeds: Bender? You're wrong, Walter. We were out to a binge but we never got to it.
Cornelius Cobb: They got you down as a sap! Longfellow Deeds: I think I'll go down and punch this editor in the nose. Cornelius Cobb: No you don't! Get this clear: socking people in the nose is no solution - for anything. Longfellow Deeds: Sometimes it's the only solution. Cornelius Cobb: Not editors! Take my word for it. Not editors!
