Famous quotes containing the word bet:

    While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Devil: I’ll tell you what. You want to hedge your bet with me? Make eternity a little less ... hellish?
    Amanda: What did you have in mind?
    Devil: Did you see Rosemary’s Baby?
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    Christina Bailey: I was just thinking how much you can tell about a person from such simple things. Your car, for instance.
    Mike Hammer: Now what kind of message does it send you?
    Christina: You have only one real, lasting love.
    Mike: Now who could that be?
    Christina: You. You’re one of those self-indulgent males who thinks about nothing but his clothes, his car, himself. I’ll bet you do push-ups every morning just to keep your belly hard.
    —A.I. (Albert Isaac)
