Funny movie quotes from The Cocoanuts, starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo)
Chico: Right now I’d do anything for money. I’d kill somebody for money. I’d kill you for money.
[Harpo looks dejected.]
Chico: Ha ha ha. Ah, no. You’re my friend. I’d kill you for nothing.
[Harpo smiles]
Groucho: Hey, hey! You know that suitcase is empty?
Chico: That’s all right. We fill it up before we leave.
Groucho: I’m gonna put extra blankets, free, in all your rooms, and there’ll be no cover charge.
Groucho: Three years ago I came to Florida without a nickel in my pocket. Now I’ve got a nickel in my pocket.
Groucho: Wages? Do you want to be wage slaves? Answer me that!
Bellhops: No.
Groucho: No, of course not. But what makes wage slaves? Wages!
Groucho: What would you like? Would you like a suite on the third floor?
Chico: No. I’ll take a Pollack in the basement.
Zeppo: Any luck with the 4:30?
Groucho: Yeah. It didn’t hit me.

Groucho: Now here is a little peninsula and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.
