“I know that there are two subjects in paintings that no one will buy. One is Jesus, and the other is sheep. Love him as much as they want, no one really wants a painting of Jesus in the living room. You’re having a few people over, having a few drinks, and there’s Jesus over the sofa. Somehow it doesn’t work. And not in the bedroom either, obviously. I mean you want Jesus watching over you but not while you’re in the missionary position. You could put him in the kitchen maybe, but then that’s sort of insulting to Jesus. Jesus, ham sandwich, Jesus, ham sandwich; I wouldn’t like it and neither would He. Can’t sell a male nude either, unless they’re messengers. Why a messenger would want to be nude I don’t know. You’d think they’d at least need a little pouch or something. In fact, if a nude man showed up at my door and I asked, "Who is it?” and he said, “Messenger,” I would damn well look and see if he has a pouch and if he doesn’t, I’m not answering the door. Sheep are the same, don’t ask me why, can’t sell 'em.”

You know, not many people knew it, but the Führer was a terrific dancer. (now shouting with rage) That is because you were taken in by that verdammte Allied propaganda! Such filthy lies! They told lies! But nobody ever said a bad word about Winston Churchill, did they? No! “Win with Winnie!” Churchill! With his cigars, with his brandy. And his ROTTEN painting! Rotten! Hitler, THERE was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! TWO COATS! Churchill. He couldn’t even say “Nazi”. He would say “Nooooozeeehz, Nooooozeeehz!” It wasn’t NOSES, it was NAZIS! Churchil

I would like to say something your honor, not on my behalf, but in reference to my partner, Mr. Bialystock…your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Max Bialystock is the most selfish man I ever met in my life…Not only is he liar, and a cheat and a scoundrel, and a crook, who has taken money from little old ladies, he has also talked people into doing things, especially me, that they would never in a thousand years had dreamed of doing. But, your honor, as I understand it the law was created to protect people from being wronged. Your honor, whom has Max Bialystock wronged? I mean, whom has he really hurt? Not me. Not me. I was… this man… no one ever called me Leo before. I mean, I know it’s not a big legal point, but even in kindergarten they used to call me Bloom. I never sang a song before. I mean with someone else, I never sang a song with someone else before. This man… this man… this is a wonderful man. He made me what I am today…he did. And what of the dear ladies? What would their lives have been without Max Bialystock? Max Bialystock, who made them feel young, and attractive, and wanted again. That’s all I have to say.
