Being There Movie

Memorable quote (s) from the movie:

President "Bobby" (Jack Warden): Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?

Chance the Gardener (Peter Sellers): As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.

President "Bobby" (Jack Warden): In the garden.

Chance the Gardener (Peter Sellers): Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.

President "Bobby" (Jack Warden): Spring and summer.

Chance the Gardener (Peter Sellers): Yes.

President "Bobby" (Jack Warden): Then fall and winter.

Chance the Gardener (Peter Sellers): Yes.

Benjamin Rand (Melvyn Douglas): I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.

Chance the Gardener (Peter Sellers): Yes! There will be growth in the spring!

Benjamin Rand (Melvyn Douglas): Hmm!

Chance the Gardener (Peter Sellers): Hmm!

President "Bobby" (Jack Warden): Hmm. Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time. I admire your good, solid sense. That's precisely what we lack on Capitol Hill.
