My mother says this is very funny. Apparently the midwesterners who she went to the movie with did not feel that this movie struck particularly close to home. Hmph.

Garrison Keillor: We come from people who brought us up to believe that life is a struggle, and if you should feel really happy, be patient: this will pass.

Lefty: [singing] Liquor she said, and lick her I did, and I don’t work there any more.
