some of my best friends are Methodists

In the movie
"Gentlemen's Agreement"
(entertaining but serious study of
both anti-Semitism
and "Prejudice" in general)
a character gets himself cornered
by his own remarks
and begins to mount a defense with,
"Why, some of my best friends..."

and the character played by the at once delightfully down-to-earth and elegant Celeste Holm counters with, "Yes, and some of your best friends are Methodists but you never remind us of that...."

Celeste Holm -- in some of the best movies ever:
"Oklahoma!"
A Letter To Three Wives
All Above Eve ...
