A great movie line explains it all

Posted on 12/10/2019 1:10:52 PM PST by Chengdu54

If you've seen the great Cary Grant film, People will Talk, you may rember this line:

"Professor Elwell, you're a little man. It's not that you're short. You're...little, in the mind and in the heart. Tonight, you tried to make a man little whose boots you couldn't touch if you stood on tiptoe on top of the highest mountain in the world. And as it turned out...you're even littler than you were before."

Substitute Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, et al.

Harry Callahan
A man’s got to know his limitations.
Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot.
I asked if you knew where San Quentin is, and you do, don’t you asshole?”
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of guys.
This is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and it could blow your head clean off. You’ve got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky?

Love it.

The whole movie is on YouTube for free (no account needed).

I started it up, and saw Margaret Hamilton in the first scene. That’s a good sign. She was an excellent character actress. (Best known as “The Wicked Witch of the West”, and Cora for Maxwell House coffee)

Margaret Hamilton has a fairly short scene, but she is remarkable in that scene!
