Quotations

If that's a racehorse, then I'm D-O double-G, baby.

Well, like my mama used to say, 'You can put your boots in the oven but that won't make 'em biscuits.'

Reggie: Well, subdivide me and Kentucky fry me!

Miss Dalrymple: (to Channing) This is a racetrack, dear, not the Serengeti.

Sir Trenton: (referring to Stripes and Sandy) What have we got here? Beauty and the beast.

His stripes made him an outcast. His heart made him a hero.
