This is a great thread! I must chime in with a few. I hope I’m not reapeating too many. **Fight Club:** -I am Jack’s smirking revenge. **Real Genius:** -I want to see more of you around the lab. -Fine. I’ll gain weight. -Why is that toy on your head? -Because if I wear it any place else, it chafes. -Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis? -Not right now. -A girl’s gotta have her standards. **Rounders:** -I feel like Bill Buckner walking back into Shea. -You were lookin’ for that third three, but you forgot that Professor Green folded on Fourth Street and now you’re representing that you have it. The DA made his two pair, but he knows they’re no good. Judge Kaplan was trying to squeeze out a diamond flush but he came up short and Mr. Eisen is futilely hoping that his queens are going to stand up. So like I said, the Dean’s bet is $20. - Listen, here’s the thing. If you can’t spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker. **Shakes the Clown:** - Are you the clown? - No, I’m Mary fuckin’ Poppins. - I’m gonna twist your head into a fuckin’ balloon animal. ---
