“If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I'll tell you what you are.”

“Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are.”

“Tell me what you listen to, and I'll tell you who you are.”

“Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are" is true enough, but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread.”

“I'll be anything you want, just tell me what you want and I'll be that.”

“You want me to tell Ed Murrow what to say or what not to say?…I'll tell him you said so, Governor, and thank you very much for your opinion.”

“Get me a drink, or I'll tell you I love you. I'll wake you up in an hour or two, crooning, all sloppy and maudlin, tell you I love you really. You'd like that, right? Hearing Momma tell you she loves you? Isn't that what you want, deep inside?”

“There is nothing wrong with crying. Your feelings tell you who are. They tell what is important. Don't ever be ashamed of them.”

“Don't tell me what you believe in. I'll observe how you behave and I will make my own determination.”

“Why do I get the feeling that if you give me a hard time, I'll tell all of our year-mates your family nickname is Meathead?”
