Peter Lorre preparing for Christmas
I know you hate me, Santa, but I want those papers.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Know this is a little late for the season, but this just came to mind.
Really used to love all of Rod Serling's work. Twilight Zone is superb.  When Night Gallery was on, that was must see. Did you ever see his Christmas movie, Carol for another Christmas, 1964?
It was too talky and tried too hard. Everyone I knew wanted to see Serling work with Peter Sellers, but it didn't click.

Thinking on it today, though, Serling was very prescient. The last segment could be any Trump rally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_ZuoounEb0
