Quotes 

• Burt Campbell : Seven of my men are gonna be off today because it's a Jewish holiday and I'm gonna have to do all their jobs. You know, what kills me is I don't think they're all Jewish - two of 'em are black and ones an Indian.

• Mary Campbell : I want to go to school, Burt.

  Burt Campbell : Mary, it's 5:30 in the morning - school's closed.

  Mary Campbell : I'm serious. I want to go to college. I want to study English.

  Burt Campbell : Why? I think you speak it very well.

• Burt Campbell : Y'know, I really love musicals. The only one that ever disappointed me was "Cabin in the Sky," but that was my own fault because I thought it was gonna be a musical about the construction industry.

• Burt Campbell : We're going to kill Elaine with kindness.

  Mary Campbell : Kill her with kindness?

  Burt Campbell : Right. See Danny's not going to let her dress, eat, or sleep, because nothing's ever good enough for her, and since it;s out of love, she can't get mad at him.

  Mary Campbell : If it doesn't work, can I just kill her?

  Burt Campbell : Sure.
