"Why?"
"Because they won't lend ya any money like they're supposed to. Everybody hates them. Don't you hate 'em?"
"I never really thought much about it. Now let's see. WHY would a banker want to buy a circus?"

(5,169 posts)2. The Sin of Harold Diddlebock
http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/235849%7C0/The-Sin-of-Harold-Diddlebock-aka-Mad-Wednesday.html
Director Preston Sturges coaxed legendary silent comedian Harold Lloyd out of retirement to star in The Sin of Harold Diddlebock (1947, aka Mad Wednesday), a film that he wrote with Lloyd in mind. It opens with footage cleverly lifted from Lloyd's 1925 silent classic The Freshman in which Harold's go-getting character scores the triumphant winning touchdown for his college football team. Picking up where The Freshman left off, Harold is offered an entry level job as a bookkeeper by wealthy businessman E.J. Waggleberry (Raymond Walburn). It looks like great things are in store for his future. Twenty years later, however, Harold finds himself stuck in the same position and going nowhere. When he gets unceremoniously fired from his job, Harold is talked into having the first alcoholic drink of his life by a slick hustler (Jimmy Conlin). The local bartender whips up a custom-made concoction for Harold, which unleashes a whole new uninhibited side of him. Harold embarks on a hilarious two-day spree that changes the course of his life.
