You Coulda Knocked Me Over with a Pin
Just how many times did that guy say that line?
Gabriel Krichinsky when he arrives late for the family Thanksgiving dinner: Vy didja cud da TOIKEY?
Seems like it was in the double digits. He was really milking it, wasn't he? And exactly what kind of pin could we have knocked him over with — safety, clothes or bowling?

I love it when characters have lines they say over and over! So many people like that in real life! It's a very human failing.
Yeah, about that pin.... maybe cotter, rolling or fraternity??
Hi, Jackboot: Yes, people do repeat things a lot in real life. That's what I love about David Mamet's dialogue, where words and phrases are repeated frequently. It drives the point home.

Drives the point home, or, in this case, shows how some people have such a limited number of phrases that they use way too much to the point of being annoying - shows so much about what kind of a character they are!
