Sundays are for watching TV

blankslatejoe

(stepping out of an elevator) "That was a very small room."

Steve Schulze

Seems sort of familiar. I'm thinking dumb comedy... the Naked Gun perhaps?

blankslatejoe

nope, it is a comedy, but its more of social commentary comedy

danr

was this lost in translation?

Lupey

the Plot of Dr FuManChu?

blankslatejoe

nope...came out in the late 70s.

another quote: "This is just like television... only you can see much farther."

Ninjas

Shot in the dark here:

The Wiz?

blankslatejoe

nope.

I'm not the keen on the idea of three stale quotes in a row, so here's one giveaway quote:

"It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I'll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want"

blankslatejoe

"I like to watch."

Based on the first quote about the small room I'm gonna say Peter Sellars in Being there. The quote about a white mans world in america is throwing me off thought.

blankslatejoe

'being there' is right.

the old maid at the house peter sellers worked at (before the rich owner died) saw him on TV and said that.

Dukester

oh hell I got one!
gimme a bit to think of a quote!
