A scene from Jailhouse Rock 1957

Hunk

It's a lesson to remember. Without money, you might as well be dead.

Vince

Yeah.

Hunk

That's all the sympathy you'll get from me. Pity's a commodity. In here, you buy it and sell it just like anything else.

Vince

Hey, what are you, man? Some kind of an animal?

Hunk

That's right, buddy. I'm an animal in a jungle, and I got a motto: 'Do unto others as they would do unto you, only do it first'.

Vince

Yeah. That's right. Do it first.

Hunk

And it's just as bad on the outside. Worse. Remember that.

Vince

I don't aim to forget it.

[they continue to kiss] Vince Everett Ladies and gentlemen, a little while back, I had a kind of a vacation with a bunch of men in a big place way out yonder. And while I was there, well, these uh, these men, kind of guests, you might say, uh, we'd get together and horse around a little bit and sing and - 'cause we were havin' such a good time. And uh, we always had a lot of fun with this one: 'The Jailhouse Rock'.
