> [@eschereal](#): > > I have a bad feeling about this Hmm, that might be heard in several films. I’m thinking of one in which that line is a little different and the next line is, “_Well, when was the last time you felt good about anything?_” Is that it? How about this one: “_I’m ashamed that you came out of my body!_” ---

Well, one of them is the _Kentucky Fried Movie_, and the other one is not. How about > Now I’m going to tell you about an accident, and I don’t want to hear ‘Act of God’ But I don’t know that there is a single line of that script that is non-famous. Especially to Jack\_Burden, I suppose. ---

> [@alovem](#): > > Hmm, that might be heard in several films. A friend of mine recorded _Star Wars_ IV~VI from laser disc (versions from before they crapped it up with extra crap) onto a SLP tape with minimal intervening credits stuff. I sat and watched it through, and that line seemed to be pervasive throughout. So, several films, yes. ---

> “Now is there any special country you wanna go to?” > “Wyoming.” > “That’s not a country. I’ll think of something.” There’s a very similar exchange in Dog Day Afternoon. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/x4uD20A7n68/maxresdefault.jpg "Dog Day Afternoon - Wyoming scene HD (subtitulado)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4uD20A7n68&t=23) I have to add, though, that I cheated (?) and looked online because it sounded so familiar. It’s been a very long time since I last saw Dog Day Afternoon. I wonder if it shows up in a later film as a nod to this one? ---

And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig.” Snatch ---
