Quote: Charley (Walter Matthau) and Sybil Fort (Felicia Farr) in Charley Varrick (1973):
-- Charley: ' I like your bed. I never slept in a round bed. What's the best way: North, South, East or West? '
-- Sybil: ' That depends on what you have in mind? '
-- Charley: ' What I had in mind was boxing the compass.'
