I hear this on our local radio station (WPST) as one of the quotes when they announce the Morning show, and I think it's from a movie or TV show but I'm not sure...the actor's voice (it's a male saying the line) even sounds familiar, but I can't see his face or even give his name...Here's the quote:
"Now flukes like you are either nutcases or they're troublemakers, I just wanna know which one I've got on my hands."
It sounds like something from a Back To School/Breakfast Club/Ferris Bueller type movie, but I'm not sure. Again, it's a really distinct voice, almost a slight southern accent to it. Older actor (not like Anthony Hopkins, but maybe in the 40s or 50s)...Anyone have any ideas on what movie this is from, who the actor is, anything??

THANK YOU! Lane Smith was the guy. I KNEW I knew him, and I knew I knew his voice - so distinctive from the Lois & Clark series. I could ALMOST see his face...but that's solved it. Thanks to all who answered!

...............................................................
nO!!!! a SEARCH OF THE WEB GIVES THE 1992? MOVIE "DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN" WITH THIS PARAGRAPH OF DIALOGUE:
impressed by your instincts.
69 INT. DODGE'S OFFICE - CAPITOL - NIGHT 69
A single table lamp lights Dick Dodge's office, reflecting
off the velvet drapes, sculpted ceiling, and crystal
chandeliers. Tommy and Dodge are in leather armchairs,
ties undone. On the table between them, a bottle of Jim
Beam. Dodge casts a cool eye on Tommy.
DODGE
Tell me, Johnson. Why did you come
to Washington?
TOMMY
Well... of course... it's a chance
to do something for my country. I
mean, there's the topsoil thing, and
acid rain is killing the cattle --
DODGE
Cut the bullshit, Johnson. I saw how
you got elected. Flukes like you are
either nutcases or troublemakers.
I just want to know which one I have
on my hands. Who sent you here?
TOMMY
No one sent me.
DODGE
You pulled off that upset on your
own?
TOMMY
(acknowledging modestly)
Kid's got his talents.
DODGE
I'm impressed, Johnson, I am. But
why did you run for Congress?
TOMMY

Breakfast club when they are in detention and the principle brings him into the room and is yelling at him I believe.
