Well put!

In Fiddler on the Roof there is a scene early on where Reb Tevye and several other men in the "little village of Anatevka" are talking, downtown.  They stand gathered around Tevye's milk wagon, on a dirt road.  An outsider, a young student from the university in Kiev ("Is that a place where they teach you how not to respect your elders?!") puts in an occasional comment.

The student admonishes the group that they've gotta tune in to the big changes simmering in the bigger cities.

One of the bearded middle-aged men standing in the group says energetically,

"Why should I break my head about the outside world?
Let the outside world break its own head! --
Well put!"  he adds the compliment himself at the end.

Tevye:  "He's right.  As the Good Book says, When you spit in the air -- it lands in your face."

Student from Kiev:  "Nonsense.  You can't close your eyes to what's happening in the world."

Tevye (nodding):  "He's right."

Another man interjects, "Wait a minute.  You say he's right, and -- he's right. 
They can't both be right."

Tevye thinks a moment.
"Rrh...You, too, are right..."

----------------- My hairstylist lets me select the TV channel when I'm there, so I remoted it to C-span and while having my hair done, watched / listened to a speech by some expert about defense department spending.  He stood behind a podium addressing an audience we couldn't see -- he said Democrats mostly believe this about defense spending priorities, while many Republicans point out that -- and the speaker then said,

It's like the old rabbi story, where one guy says it's this way, & the rabbi says, "He's right."  And the other guy makes his point and the rabbi says, "He's right."  And the third man says "Wait they can't both be right" -- by this time I was telling the beautician excitedly,

"That's from Fiddler on the Roof!  He says the same thing in there -- "  and then said it in unison with the C-Span lecturer, "Yes, you too are -- right!"
My hairstylist is unflappable; nothing surprises her.

(That must have been an "old rabbi story" before, and the writer of Fiddler on the Roof injected it in there.  Reb Tevye isn't a rabbi, but the vignette still works....)
