"Hello. My name is James St. John Smythe. I'm English."

Now, for several years, we had a profitable partnership, you as manufacturers, while I acquired and passed on to you industrial information that made you competitive, succesful.

Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid dreams magically come true. So let it go.

I thought this city would be a perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means, hey, glass half full, we all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what kind of person you are, I implore you: Try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you.

"Actually, it's your word against yours. And if you want this pen, you're going to cooperate with my investigation on finding that missing otter, or the only place you'll be selling pawpsicles is the prison cafeteria... It's called a hustle, sweetheart."
"She hustled you good! You're a cop now, Nick! You're gonna need one of these!"

Let's see... city, pawpsicles, missing otter, important pen, Nick became a cop...
"Yesterday, when the lady next door answered the door, there was a man there, and the man said to the lady, "I'm terribly sorry, I just ran over your cat.""
"Oh, that is sad."
"The poor cat."
"And the man said, "I'd like to replace your cat." And the lady said, "That's all right with me, but how are you with catching mice?" "
"Speakin' o' names, I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith."
I immediately recognized the "one leg named Smith" joke. (It's actually used twice in the movie.) I don't recognize the other joke, but I suspect it, also, was part of Uncle Albert's tea party.
"All that hate's gonna burn you up, kid."
"It keeps me warm."
"You think you're tough for eating beans every day? There's half a million scarecrows in Denver who'd give anything for one mouthful of what you got. They've been under siege for about three months. They live on rats and sawdust bread and sometimes... on each other. At night, the pyres for the dead light up the sky. It's medieval."
"You told them where we were, didn't you? You told them!"
"My father turned me in. Oh God, they do things you can't imagine."

"Go to the sporting goods store. From the files obtain forms 4473. These will contain descriptions of weapons, and lists of private ownership."
"Last I heard, there were a billion screaming Chinamen."
There were."
Â
"Daryl, what have you done?"
"I went into town... and got caught."
"YOU WENT AND GOT CAUGHT! WHY?"
"You said we couldn't..."
"You told them where we were, didn't you? You told them!"

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Good guess!
And it has the added virtue of being the correct guess!

"Hey Flash, wanna hear a joke?"
"No!"
"Sure."
"What do you call a three-humped camel?"
"I... don't... know... What... do... you call... a three... humped... camel?"
"Pregnant!"
".........ha!........ha!.......ha!"

Apparently a cartoon (or CGI); but I don't recognize it.

This should be the remake of "Red Dawn."Â Amazing how many movies are being remade.
