I was thinking of all the other lines one could try, including your luggage problem one. Here, I’ll spoil a few: I know he can _get_ the job, but can he _do_ the job? If I had said that, I would have been wrong. (Dan Hedaya was brilliant in that movie.) You look like a bag of shit stuffed in a cheap suit. [Tom Hanks to Dan Hedaya.] I have no response to that. ---

That smarts, doesn’t it? Getting slammed in the nose. Fucks you all up. You get that pain shootin’ through your brain, your eyes fill up with water. That ain’t any kind of fun, but what I have to offer you, that’s as good as it’s gonna get. And it won’t ever get that good again. We talked to your neighbors. They saw a Cadillac. Purple Cadillac. Clarence’s purple Cadillac, parked in front of your trailer yesterday. Mr. Worley, you seen your son? ETA: what are the OP’s thoughts on deleting part of a quote to prevent a spoiler? Heh - might just ruin the quote, possibly. ---
