I made one good hat and the whole industry started pretending it was a philosophy. by Charles Chaplin

That's rich from the man who turned panic into a signature walk.

I am begging the men of silent cinema to stop acting like subtitles are a threat.

I paid for the picture vibe, and somehow you still made it about a cane.

Charlie, you didn't invent comedy, you just found a hat that fit the ego.

Douglas, you swung a sword like the curtains owed you money.

Both of you calm down, the audience already paid for the picture.

Better than finding a microphone and calling it personality.

The talkies came and exposed the truth: some of you were only photogenic in silence.
