The man they killed was Pauly. Shortly after, Sonny asks “How’s Pauly?” The fat guy replys “OH, Pauly. You won’t see him no more.” It was so matter-of-fact. I piss myself everytime.

SAY ANYTHING:

“Joe lies…Joe li-ies…Joe lies, when he cries…”

“Bitches, man. Bitches”

This line was lifted from an interview with Alfred Hitchcock. It’s one of my favorites, too.

Whenever I meet a member of the Kevin Smith cult, I point them to Metropolitan for some truly great dialog.

[sub]1-It’s a movie quote, another one I use a lot. No one ever gets it, and assumes I’m just a snob. Serious brownie points to whomever can identify its first usage.
