All the stars...how come I don't know almost any of them? Three hours of silly jokes... how come I can't even laugh at all? Even my favorite Spencer Tracy plays such an unreasonable and mindless sheriff, and even Stanley Kramer, who is known as the light of independent film (can you believe this is just after "The Nuremberg Trials" and is about to make "The Judgment of Nuremberg") The director of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?) has made such a film that despised the audience's IQ and slapped you by making a fool of yourself... Either the movie is out of date or I'm out of date.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World quotes

  • Police Chief Aloysius: [to Captain Culpeper] It's no. The answer is no. He won't back any increase in pensions. He won't even talk about it. And there won't be any increase in pensions. And do you know why? Because they got a solid majority of both Republicans and Democrats who've agreed that if anything is said about pensions, they'll actually reduce your pension! Why? Because they know that you personally were more responsible than anybody else for closing down the houses. And could I do anything? Would he listen to me? Hah! All right. So you're an honest cop. And you've spent a lifetime being an honest cop. And you've got that, and that's all you've got! It's no good saying I'm sorry. I'm too angry and sick at my stomach to be sorry.

  • Lennie Pike: [after Smiler Grogan literally kicks the bucket] That guy's dead. You better believe it.

    Benjy Benjamin: Oh, I believe it all right, but if he jumps up again like he did before, I'm gonna get the hell out of here.
