Famous quotes containing the word brooks:
“What did you hit her for?
I’ll let you in on something, she’s a lush, the lady. After she bends the elbow a few times, she begins to see things. Rats, roaches, snakes, bats, you know. A sock in the kisser’s the only thing that’ll bring her out of it.”
—Richard Brooks (1912–1992)
