The next line is Slim Pickens’ “Goddamn! You use your tongue prettier than a $20 whore!”

Followed by Korman’s “Shit-kicker!”

I have pretty much the entire script memorized.

Yep.

That’s such a great scene with Elliott Gould. “Look, we all go way back and uh, I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place and I’ll never forget it.”

_Apocalypto,_ but it was in Yucatec Mayan.

It may, or may not be, in all of these movies that have been named, but none of them are the one I’m thinking of. Guesses so far:

_ **Midnight Cowboy, Taxi Driver, Apocalypto, Yucatec Man** _

Exact quote…

“Hey! Hey! I’m walkin’ here!”

Ir was also in _Back to the Future Part II,_ but it was clearly an homage.

Just today I quoted that line to my GF as she was telling about a driver who tried to sneak past a school crossing guard, who chewed her out for it. I commented the crossing guard should’ve slammed his hand on the hood and yelled, “Hey! They’re walkin’ here!”
