I just finished reading Oliver, and so I borrowed the musical from the library, and it has the greatest line. Fagin is singing and thinking about his situation in life when he says,Can a villian be a villian all his life?
All the trials and tribulations,
Better settle down and get myself a wife.
Good thinking right? Well then he says,
And a wife would cook and sew for me
and come for me and go for me
And go for me and nag at me
the fingers she would wag at me
The money she would take from me
a misery she'd make of me . . . .
I think I'd better think it out again!
I just had to laugh. I think it's one of the funniest lines in the whole movie. I had to watch it and rewatch it a dozen times; I couldn't get enough. Clearly he doesn't have a gospel perspective!
