You, sir, are a drunk.
You, madam, are ugly. But, when I wake up in the morning, I'll be sober.

Forgot the movie, but I like the line.

Good line, but it is said that it came from Winston Churchill, not W.C. Fields.

My absolute favorite WC Fields film is "The Bank Dick". Just watched the "Man on the Flying Trapeze" the other night. Talk about a funny man.

True W. C. Fields story:

It's a warm, Sunday afternoon in December, and Fields is sitting out on his patio, enjoying a drink with some friends. Word comes over the radio that the Japanese have just bombed Pearl Harbor. Fields bolts from his chair, jumps in his car and takes off. The friends are totally confused until Bill returns a couple hours later. Someone asks if he went off to join the military- Fields just looks at him and opens the doors and trunk of the car, revealing cases and cases of booze. Fields reply: "This war could be longer than Prohibition, boys. I'm not taking any chances..."

A few years before his death, a friend walked into the room to find Fields reading the Bible. Stunned, the friend asked what he was doing. Without even looking up, W.C. said, "looking for loopholes..."

I love WC. I like that scene where he is trying to hit a golf ball and this paper bag keeps getting stuck to his golf club. He was a good one.

You guys have got to see a short film called "Road Hogs". It is absolutely hillarious. He comes into a bunch of money and hires a bunch of people to follow him around driving new model A's he just purchased. When he see's an idiot driving around he just slams him into a tree or runs him off the road, wrecks the car and gets into the next one and takes off.

Great Stuff!!
