"As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick."
"Where does the book say that?"
"Well, it doesn't say that exactly, but somewhere there is something about a chicken."

Update: I will admit that I wasn't familiar with this quote from Fiddler on the Roof. I'm just a sucker for chicken quotes, like the one I used from Mystery Men:
"There's another chicken. Crazy chicken world."

Update: Kat, you did OK, as in Oklahoma. You even correctly referenced who the quotes were about.

"That's a pie crust promise. Easily made, easily broken."

Update: Yes, it's Mary Poppins. This contains what was possibly Walt Disney's favorite song from one of his movies, Feed the Birds. The Sherman brothers, who wrote the songs, tell a story of the last week before Walt went to the hospital for the last time. He was already looking pretty frail, and he came into an office where the Sherman brothers were, and said "Play that song". They knew he meant Feed the Birds. After he finished, Walt left, and it was the last time they saw him.

"I've given you sunshine
I've given you dirt.
You've given me nothing
But heartache and hurt."

"I thrill when I drill a bicuspid
It's swell though they tell me I'm mal-ad-just-ed."

Update: Correct. It's Little Shop of Horrors

Forget these wide-eyed fears."

"He was very sickly until he started riding around on that bicycle."
"Yeah... well... now his body's fine, but his mind is gone."

"No. I might be a father. And your mom might be a mother. And YOU might be a brother. See, that way I keep it all in the family."

"You'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution"

Update: Another clue:
"Come along, kiddie-winkies!"

Update:
"I don't trust a man who makes toys in a land where children are forbidden."

Update: I know, I tend to find the more obscure or humorous quotations before including some that are more telling as to the movie, but it is indeed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Something that I hadn't know before was that Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda), was one of the screenwriters.
