Cyrus Murdock: Tight as a tic.
Myron Emerson: Tight as the doors of Hades.
‘Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 KJV
Starrett: Well, looking for them now’d be like looking for black ink in the belly of a cow. They got 40 different directions to go in.
Starrett: Didn’t happen to see a couple of fella’s riding out of here like wild locomotives, did ya?
Wooster: You pull a wingding on us and you won’t live long enough to know what hit ya’.
Bart: The lady who is going to extricate us from our troubles with the Midas touch.
