"You see George, you really had a wonderful life."
|
George Bailey (
James Stewart
):
"Help me Clarence, please. I want to live again."

Clarence (

George Bailey (

|
Clarence (

"Every man in the transport died. Harry wasn't there to save them because you weren't there to save Harry."
|
George Bailey (
James Stewart
):
"Mary I know what I'm going to do tomorrow and the next day and the next year and the year after that. I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm going to see the world."
|
Mr. Potter (
Lionel Barrymore

"George, I'm an old man and most people hate me but I don't like them either so that makes it all even."

Harry Bailey (

"Good idea, Ernie. A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town."

Mr. Potter (
Lionel Barrymore
):
"No securities. No stocks. No bonds. Nothing but a miserable little five hundred dollar equity in a life insurance policy. You're worth more dead than alive."
|
George Bailey (
James Stewart
):
"Just remember this, Mr. Potter. This rabble you keep talking about does most of the working, paying and dying in this community. Is it too much to have them work and pay and die in two rooms and a bath. Anyways my father didn't think so."
|
George Bailey (
James Stewart
):
"You sit around here and spin your little web and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well it doesn't, Mr. Potter. In the whole vast configuration of things I'd say you're nothing but a scurvy little spider."
|
George Bailey (
James Stewart
):
"What is it you want Mary? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey, that's a good idea. I'll give you the moon."
