Its an older film and a good one ... here are some hints:
Think pre 1950
The line was spoken to a person of the same profession
as the man who uttered the previos qoute.

In the movie "feeling minesota" they said :
He ain't heavy, he's my sh#t-head brother.
That's all I can come up with here.
wow, one of the fastest growing threads I ever saw here....
So I'll try a French movie and I quote it in French:
He: [...] Ton visage est une paysage. Tu vois, je suis neutre et impartial. Il y a les deux yeux... Deux petits lacs marrons.
She: Marron-verts.
He: Deux petits lacs marron-verts. Ton front, c'est une plaine. Ton nez... Une petite montagne, petite. Ta bouche, un volcan. Ouvre un peu. J'aime voir tes dents. Non, non, pas trop. Voilà! Comme ça. Tu sais ce qui sort de ta bouche, quand tu es méchante? Des crapauds! Si, si, des crapauds. Et des colliers de perles, quand tu es gentille. Attends!
She: J'attends.
He: Parlons un peu de ton sourire, maintenant. Pas celui-là! Ça c'est celui que tu fais dans la rue aux commerçants. Non. Donne-moi l'autre, le vrai. Celui du bonheur. Voilà! Cest ça. Formidable! Non. C'est trop. Ça me fait mal aux yeux. Je ne peux plus te regarder. Attends!
? 😵

Firstly, I must apologize for forgetting a key word in the quote. Well, I actually had to look this one up my age addled brain had dropped a ked word and possibly transposed movies. Here is the answer to my movie quote, “He ain’t heavy he’s my brother.” … The reference I found for the quote in the movie actually says "He ain't heavy, Father. He's m' brother" and it seems I wasn’t the only one to flip flop the movies
A little aside first, my uncle went to Boys Town in the late 40’s and early 50’s. A recent phone call from him made me think of the movie and the quote (I hope you don’t mid that I have included a few Boys Town web site quotes, its really a fine place).
It’s either:
Boys Town made in 1938
Men of Boys town in 1941 … most likely this one

The "Two Brothers" statue with the famous quote, "He ain't heavy . . .he's my brother," greets visitors at Father Flanagan's "Boys Town," established in 1917. Today this 900-acre campus and working farm is home to 500 troubled boys and girls.

Since the hospital was built more than one hundred thousand children and young adults have been treated. The hospital working with hearing, speech, and learning disorders. There is a high school named for Father Flanagan that was started in 1983. Boys Town inspired three films. Boys Town made in 1938, Men of Boys town in 1941 which the saying "He ain't heavy, Father. He's m' brother" was introduced to the Boys Town during the movie that Spencer Tracy starred in and Miracle of the Heart in 1986.

The song takes its title from an expression that was immortalized in the 1938 film Boys Town, about a shelter for homeless boys. After “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother,” the Hollies went on to record two of the most successful singles of their career: “Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)” in 1972 and “The Air That I Breathe” (in 1974).

For many years, the symbol for Boys Town has been that of a boy carrying a younger boy. This image comes from an event that Father Flanagan witnessed. One summer day, some of the boys from Boys Town decided to go swimming. One little boy was upset that he couldn't go because he had a brace on his leg and couldn't walk easily. But a boy named Jim Edwards picked him up and started to carry him on his back. Father Flanagan encouraged the other boys to help, but Jim said to the priest, "He ain't heavy, Father, he's my brother." Father Flanagan was very moved by what Jim said and told all the boys about it. He used the story to point out, "Always take care of your fellow men."
