Going in there, looking for Charlie, slugging it out with him; While PUSSIES like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the GODDAMN BEATLE ALBUMS!

Hard work?! Listen Sherlock, while you were up here working on your ethics, I was out busting my hump in the real world. And the reason guys like you got a place to teach is because guys like me donate buildings!

Thornton: Oh, you left out a bunch of stuff.
Dr. Barbay: Really? Like what?
Thornton: First, you gotta grease the local politicians for those sudden zoning problems that always pop up. Then you got kickbacks to the carpenters. And, if you're using cement in this buildings, the Teamsters are gonna wanna have a little chat with you, and that'll cost ya. Don't forget a little something for the building inspector, and then there are long-term costs, like waste disposal. I don't know if you're familiar with who runs that business, but I can assure you it's not the Boy Scouts.

"That'll be quite enough Mr. Melon! Maybe bribes and kickbacks and mafia payoffs are how you do business, but they're NOT part of the legitimate business world....and they're certainly not part of anything I'm teaching in this class! Do I make myself clear?........Now, notwithstanding Mr. Melon's output, the next question for us is WHERE to build our factory..."

and Caddyshack are classic Rodney movies, but for some reason Easy Money gets overlooked. IMO, it's just as funny as Back to School.
Another great flick. This movie put Rodney back on the map in my book. Well, I guess you could say Caddyshack did that, but Easy Money totally boosted his relevance.
