"What does an actor want with a conscience anyway?"

Update: Another clue:
"Give a bad boy enough rope, and he'll soon make a jackass of himself."

Update: Another clue:
"Hey, who's the beetle?"
"Put me down!"
"He's my conscience. He tells me what's right and wrong."

Name Game #16

"We looked for the good in them, and we found it, didn't we?"

Update: Another clue:

"I see your point. Strike hard on Sunday the excessiveness of God's wrath and hope they carry it with them a few days into the week!"
"Exactly."

Update: Another one:

"My father always used to say that if we ever had the kind of money you have, we'd have steak and ice cream three times every day!"

Update: It was more challenging to find quotes without the word 'glad' in it, as anyone who has seen Pollyanna know that she was always playing the 'glad game'.

Name Game #14

"I was afraid of worms"

Update: A very enjoyable movie, Roxanne

Another quote:
"I have a dream. It's not a big dream, it's just a little dream. My dream - and I hope you don't find this too crazy - is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, "Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!" That would be bad."

Update: Another one:
"I am not Queen yet!"
"But you will be. ________, Queen of England. A court to worship you, a country to obey you. Poems written revering your beauty, music composed in your honor, and they will mean nothing to you. I will mean nothing to you."
