If you don’t think Johnny is the best charter, we are not friends. https://preview.redd.it/6wiv333m33qe1.jpeg?width=368&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a2f0f317eac93e90fce128094b21f69d9c48a7f

Yes! My favorite is “what can you make of this?” “I can make a hat, I can make a broach….”

I first saw this movie when I was in the Air Force stationed in Drambuie, off the Barbary Coast.

That was one of the best scenes in the movie!
