Ed Wynn Quotes in Stage Door Canteen (1943)

Soldier: Do you theater people have these canteens all over the country?

Ed Wynn: Oh sure we do. We've got canteens... Why they have one canteen in Washington D.C. It's the darnedest thing you ever saw. They don't have famous actors waiting on the soldiers like they do here. Down in Washington, congressmen wait on the boys. Those boys will starve to death down there you mark my words.

Soldier: Why Mr. Wynn.

Ed Wynn: Well, you know how long it takes for a congressman to pass anything.
