[Belmont, Southern Italy.]

Prince of Aragon (to Portia, etc.):

Why then, to thee, thou silver treasure-house.
Tell me once more what title thou dost bear.
'Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves' —

William Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice, 2.9.33-35

  
[In the 1936 film Poppy, W. C. Fields plays McGargle, here running a carnival shell game:]

McGargle is tipped off as the mayor approaches and shifts gears without so much as a pause. "Gambling, my friends, is the root of all evil," he intones, quivering with righteousness. "For years I was a victim of this heartless scourge — gambling — a helpless pawn in the toils of Beelzebub."

The mayor comes forth to offer his hand, and McGargle asks if he has read his book on the evils of wagering.

"No ...," says the mayor, to which McGargle registers mock surprise.

"You haven't? It has a blue cover. Maybe that will recall it to your mind."

James Curtis
