Famous quotes containing the words bet and/or point:
“Alicia Huberman: Look, I’ll make it easy for you. The time has come when you must tell me that you have a wife and two adorable children, and this madness between us can’t go on any longer.
T.R. Devlin: I bet you’ve heard that line often enough.
Alicia: Right below the belt every time. Oh that isn’t fair, Dev.
Devlin: Skip it. We have other things to talk about. We have a job.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“Some parents feel that if they introduce their children to alcohol gradually in the home environment, the children will learn to use alcohol in moderation. I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. First of all, alcohol is not healthy for the growing child. Second, introducing alcohol to a child suggests that you condone drinking—even to the point where you want to teach your child how to drink.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
