      Bernie Friedman: [at the custody hearing] Well, Judge, you can pass the buck up and down and back and forth, but when it gets to "Bernie the Butcher" it don't go no further.

      Judge: Is that what they call you? "Bernie the Butcher"? Why?

      Bernie Friedman: Thirty-seven years in the meat packing business. What're they gonna call me, "Bernie the Baker"?

    Such a cute film

    Here I was, clicking away on the remote control, looking for something vaguely interesting, when I come across a movie called 40 Pounds of Trouble. The title sounded cute so I watched it. It made my day. They just don't make movies like that anymore. The end of the movie at Disneyland was just hilarious and I was laughing the whole way through. Such an enjoyable movie on such a boring day.
