Driving me crazy that I can’t remember this scene. I was pretty sure it was Goodfellas, Casino, Scareface, DeNiro, something testosterone fueled.

Help me out. It’s a total whoosh. Two words for you “go fuck yourself” and the other person then answers something like “jokes on you, that’s actually 3 words.”

Dang, this is bugging me. I used it in a thread yesterday. Also tonight at dinner with my eldest (with an non profane example), who promptly and smugly replied “that’s 3 words Dad”. She is going to film school in the fall, so I want to help prepare her with at least this tidbit. She also finds it hilarious when I throw in things like “hang a louie, take a Roger at the light.” :eek:

I remember in _ **Die Hard II** _, Samantha the reporter is hounding the disgraced mercenary Colonel for a quote:

\*“Do you have a word for us, Colonel?”

“Yeah, I have two words for you: ‘fuck’ and ‘you.’”\*

However, I don’t recall if Sam had a witty rejoinder.

There’s a scene in _Catch Me If You Can_ in which the Tom Hanks character’s FBI colleagues are teasing him for being humorless. One of them says he probably doesn’t even know any jokes.

Hanks insists he _does_ know a joke.

“Oh, yeah?” his fellow agent says. “Tell it to us.”

“OK. Knock knock.”

“Who’s there?”

Hanks fumes, realizes he doesn’t have a punchline, and says, “Go fuck yourself!”
