Scene excerpts[]
- Quotes
- Archie: I hate entertainment. Entertainment is a thing of the past, now we got television.
- Archie: I couldn't go to that thing even if I wanted to. We're supposed to be busy in here tonight.
- Harry: I can handle it. I think you should go to the school show.
- Archie: I hate school shows. I've hated school shows ever since I was this high. God, will I never forget. There was always some kid pounding a piano, and there was always some four-eyed sissy torturing a violin, a fat slob reciting "Trees", and then there was always the black kid singing, "My Yiddishe Mome".
