“Gosh, it's this old house. I don't know why we don't all have...” – George, It's a Wonderful Life ... Movie Quotes Database

George

Gosh, it's this old house. I don't know why we don't all have pneumonia. This drafty old barn! Might as well be living in a refrigerator. Why did we have to live here in the first place and stay around this measly, crummy old town?

Mary

George, what's wrong?

George

Wrong? Everything's wrong! You call this a happy family? Why did we have to have all these kids?
