Someone says, ‘I’m a friend of [name].’ The other guy says, '‘I like people who have friends.’ What movie is that from? ---

Doesn’t ring a bell, and my google-fu is failing. It immediately made me think of the exchange from Repo Man “Charming friends you’ve got there, Otto.” “Thanks, I made them myself.” Which probably isn’t helpful, but is another delightful quote in the same vein. ---

Yeah, I tried “I like people who have friends”, “I like people with friends”, “people with friends”, and “people who have friends”, all with “quote”. Turned up nothin’. In my head, I picture Bruce Willis saying it; but it might just be a Bruce Willis “type”. ---

Could’ve been Sean Connery, in DOCTOR NO. James Bond: “I’m a friend of Commander Strangways.” Quarrel: “Now ain’t that nice? I like people who’s friends of people.” ---

I like people who’s friends of people.” THAT’S IT! :smack: I should have remembered, since _Dr. No_ is one of my favourite Bond films. I don’t know how I got Bruce Willis in my head. Thanks. . ---
