You Can't Take It with You - The Humor of Ism-Mania in Dialogue
Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Penny, why don't you write a play about Ism-Mania?
Penny Sycamore:
Ism-Mania?
Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Yeah, sure, you know, Communism, Fascism, Voodooism, everybody's got an -ism these days.
Penny Sycamore: [laughs]
Oh, I thought it was an itch or something.
Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Well, it's just as catching. When things go a little bad nowadays, you go out, get yourself an -ism and you're in business.
