I’m watching this movie on TV now. When I saw it in the theater, during the scene in the parking lot where Peter is explaining to Jennifer Aniston’s character that he may be going to jail, and her annoying ex-co-worker starts harassing them, I strongly remember Peter _punching_ the annoying ex-co-worker. Although I’ve rented the movie once, and watched a friend’s copy of it, and caught it a couple of times on TV since then, and I haven’t seen him hit the guy. The scene ends with Aniston’s character saying “I hate that guy!” Am I smoking the crack? 😕 ---

I don’t recall Peter punching the guy, and it wouldn’t make sense if the scene ended with Anniston saying that she hated him, unless in the theatre, she said that and THEN Peter busted him in the chops. One of my favorite lines from that movie: “This, this is a fuck!!” ---

I never saw the movie in the theaters but on the DVD and VHS he doesn’t punch him. ---

Yeah, that’s what I remember happening: he went over and clobbered the guy after Aniston said “I hate that guy.” On the DVD and VHS versions I’ve seen, the scene just ends. ---

I’ve seen it in the movies, and No, I’m pretty sure he never punched the guy. ---

Maybe you’re thinking about the scene where they beat up the copy machine? ---

Maybe you just think he did that because you wanted him to do it so much. I know I did. ---
