Back where I come from there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phil . . . er . . . phil . . . er . . . er . . . good-deed-doers, and their hearts are no bigger than yours. But they have one thing you haven’t got! A testimonial! Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this
time in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection. And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.
Tin Man
Oh, oh, it ticks! Listen! Look, it ticks!
—The Wizard of Oz (MGM, 1939)
