There's another exchange in that movie I liked, but I don't remember it all. A girl says something to Nicholson like: "Aren't you the man from those TV commercials? But I thought you was bald." Nicholson says something like: "Yeah, ya see, I think it wouldn't be honest to wear a toupee."

Another one of my favs from that movie is in the early scenes when the INS agent is asking Tony how he got his scar. It's a bit risque, but I'm sure you know which one I mean.

"Where'd you get that scar tough guy ..."

This is for the season... (anyone else a Marx Brothers fan?)

Fiorello: Hey, wait, wait. What does this say here? This thing here.

Driftwood: Oh, that? Oh, that's the usual clause. That's in every contract. That just says uh, it says uh, "If any of the parties participating in this contract is shown not to be in their right mind, the entire agreement is automatically nullified."

Fiorello: Well, I dunno.
Driftwood: It's all right, that's, that's in every contract. That's, that's what they call a 'sanity clause.'

Fiorello: Ha, Ha, Ha. Ha. Ha. You can't fool me. There ain't no Sanity Clause!
