One could recite Fieldsisms for hours, but my two favorties are:
"There comes a time in the life of every man when he wants to boot a kid 
in the ass!"

and
'
"T'was a woman who drove me to drink -- and I never wrote to thank her"

And for the best visual -- the dentist chair scene with the pulling of a 
tall broad's tooth. As close to screen copulation as the Hayes office 
ever let slip by.
I won't even get started on Mae West lines or L&H bon mots. T'was an age 
of genius and we who lived it are the blessed ones.
