Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956) Poster

Joseph Buloff: Benny

Quotes 

  • Benny : A prison cell is quieter. A grave has no sound at all. But, I'm just a two-cent seltzer schlepper, what do I know?

  • Benny : The whole world is not so different from my candy store. Someone comes in, sits down in the fountain, asks for a soda. I give him a soda. He drinks the soda. I give him a check. He's got to pay for it! It's the same out there. He who wants a soda must be willing to pay the check. You do something wrong, Rocky, you got to pay the check. It's a very simple truth, yet some men find it difficult to understand. They get angry when time for payment comes. "Who me?" they cry. "For what?" For the soda. That's for what, Rocky. Never ask for a soda unless you are prepared to pay the check.

  • Benny : [to Rocky]  The trouble with reading the phone book is you always know how it will come out in the end - Zabisky.

  • Rocky : [Reading the newspaper]  Hey, Benny. Hey. It says here I'm a promising young middleweight. How bout that?

    Benny : Everybody who is young is promising. The world should sue the young for breach of promise.
