Coming in just 2 years! 50 years of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"!
Begin planning your 50th anniversary celebration of the 1963 hit comedy: "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" before you find yourself missing the following:
- Everybody pays taxes! Even businessmen, who rob and cheat and steal from people everyday, even they have to pay taxes!
- Hey, did you see the way he went SAILING right out there?
- Hey, wait a minute! I can't cross here. You said the main road. This is Niagara Falls. Alright, look. You're a little boy. You wanna be a big boy? Which way to the main road?
- Look! We've figured it seventeen different ways, and every time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it, somebody don't like the way we figured it! So now, there's only one way to figure it. And that is, every man, including the old bag, for himself!
- What, am I supposed to do everything? You want me to fly the airplane, you want me to work the radio, what are you gonna... What are you, the hostess?
- Listen, anything you got to say about your mother-in-law, you don't have to explain to me. You know what I mean? Like if she were the star of a real crummy horror movie, I'd believe it.
- Don't be ridiculous. Whatever else he is, he is your father.
- Why don't we just shoot them down and be through with it?
- We don't tell them anything. We tell them to hit the road or we beat their brains in!
- The tuna factory robbery! The case I've been talking about for the last fifteen years!
- I've said it before and I'll say it again, I didn't want to move to California.
- Uh uh, it's a race, ain't it? Why do you want to help that dentist for? Me? I've been pullin' all the while for that other guy, Pike, with the furniture van. The rules ought to be the same for everybody. Otherwise, it just ain't fair.
- Mama, how many people are mixed up in this thing? Who are they? Cabbies? Mama, this thing is like a convention.
- Yeah you were working hard trying to keep the cost down the day that you ran out of your office and stood in the street screaming.
- Listen, Dentist: I hate dentists! And I hate you so much, that I'm not able to tell you how much I hate you, in front of your wife!
- Listen! All right, tell them you heard from X-27, you got it? X-27. X-27 told you to tell them they've made three attempts on my life already today. They had me down a silver mine, they tried to drown me. Can you handle a gun? Okay. Ah! Good. There's a cafe. Pull right in there, you use that phone.
- That guy's dead.
