Is this how you taught Drop his story?

Miller’s Crossing is one of my all time favorites.

From a different movie:  
Don’t be mean. We don’t have to be mean.

Ding, ding ding!  
It’s mine as well.  
So many great lines… could almost warrant a thread of it’s own.

"Where’s Leo?” “…  
_If tell you, how do I know you won’t kill me?_ ”  
“Because if you told me and I killed you and you were lying I wouldn’t get to kill you _then_ .”

“Boss wants to see ya. He didn’t have time to engrave nothin’ formal.”

My all-time, number one, bestest Bill Paxton line:  
“Well, I’ll be God-damned if it ain’t shit-kicker heaven!”

~Near Dark, 1987  
Worth watching for Bill alone.
