GET THIS OUT ON DVD!!!
I can't believe that this is hardly able to find on VHS tape. IT'S JACK LEMMON AND WALTER MATTHAU! for crying out loud..
One of my favorite scenes is in the hotel room, where Matthau is a hitman who is hiding guns in his room, and Lemmon has tried to kill himself.. by the way, is it just me, or does lemmon try to kill himself in every role he had? anyway, so Matthau is hiding his guns in the hotel room as lemmon tries to commit suicide by hanging himself in the bathroom, but instead he breaks the water stuff, so it becomes a horrible noise in the bathroom, so the hotel clerk runs up there, and is supose to call the police for suicide attempt. and Matthau, who is hiding guns there, becomes hysterical and worried that the cops will show up. by the way, notice that lemmon takes a pee before he climbs up on the toilet with a rope around his neck.
This movie isn't talked about enough, anything that Lemmon and Matthau did togheter should be put on DVD's with alote, alote, alote of extra stuff, man.
(scene where Matthau finds out that the hotel clerk is calling the police)
Hotel clerk - "I'm calling the police"
Matthau: "You can't call the cops! Don't you think that poor son of a bitch has been throw enough? Don't you see that he needs understanding, sympathi, a little human warmth??"
Hotel clerk: "Forget it. Suicide attempt must be reported."
Matthau: "Think about the rumor this hotel will get. Cops running all over."
Hotel clerk: "You're right."
(Scene where Lemmon keeps bothering Matthau)
Walter Matthau: "You're making it very difficult for me to like you."
Matthau On The Phone: "Hello Mr. Green? Oh, Mr. White... let me speak to Mr. Brown..."
Jack Lemmon: "You won't notice i'm here"
Walter Matthau: "That's becouse you won't be here"
Matthau: "When are you leaving?"
Lemmon: "I can't leave, I'm wanted."
Matthau: "Not by me."
