Funniest Line in the Movie...


"Just one thing, why did you come on to me?"

"Like I said, I made a mistake. I heard you speaking French. Often in these big hotels you run into women from foreign countries who may need a translator, or a guide."

"And they hire you?"

"Yes."

"How many, uh, languages do you speak?"

"5 or 6."

"Plus the, uh, international...language."

" [pauses]....that's right"

Too funny

Right there you can see Lauren Hutton holding back a giggle.

I personally thought the part where he is talking dirty on the phone saying he was jerking off when he wasn't.

Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours

When I saw that scene I was thinking the only possible way to prevent it from being total ridiculous camp would be to cut Gere's last line and replace it with a subtle reaction shot ... but nah ... nothing could save that scene.

I thought the funniest line came at the end when Julian promised "to do f*g tricks" for Leon in exchange for not getting framed for the murder.

I loved the part where Julian was in the line-up with the other cons, whispering to one that you're supposed to get paid to be in a line-up. (You are not.)

Detective Sunday follows up with a line in a later scene: "Don't tell the cons they get paid for being in a line-up..."

"Slap That Cunt"

"Because...you were frameable Julian. You stepped on too many toes. Now...get ooooooouuuuuttttttt"

There was something about the way Bill Duke whispered those lines that seemed very intimidating.
