Movie Quote Quiz

Tommy: You know a lot of people go to college for seven years.
Richard: I know. They're called doctors.

Tommy: Boy, this is the worst. My so-called family deserts me. Michelle's mad at me. I've lost the factory, the town's going under, and I'm out of a job. [The bench he's sitting on collapses.] Could've done without that.

Tommy: But the Callahan factory has been in my family for seventy years. You can't just shut it down.
Ray Zalinsky: Son, you got to look at it from my point of view. Callahan's a premium name. That's what I'm buying. I can make the parts in one of my factories, put them in a Callahan box, and sell them in my stores at a premium price. Why keep your factory going when all I want's the god damn box?
