This line still cracks me up to this day: "Mortimer, your brother's not well,....., F$#K HIM!" Ameche delivers that line hilariously. I'm laughing while typing this.

I am formerly known as HillieBoliday....Member since May 2006

IMDB Trivia says because of Don Ameche's religious convictions, he found it very difficult to say that word....so they had to get it in one take only.

"OOhhhooo....I'M GON' TELL MAMA!"

It's only funny because of the build up.
The money that he owes to the bar, you think it's gonna be some break your legs kinda money, but instead we get.

"I'v got yo measly, 27 dollars"

As he throws it on the counter.

When Eddie Murphy was trying to act tough to those two massive guys in jail and says to the on the right, "See you wouldn't know that 'cause you a big Barry White lookin' motherfcker". LOL!

I like it when Valentine calls up security to remove drunk Louis and goes, "Hello, security? (sees gun Louis has pulled out and is pointing at him) Merry XMAS!!!!!" (hangs up the phone)

The speech about the stock market is gold!

My favourite line is Dan Aykroyd's drunkenly dismissive "Waaaaauggh..." in the club lobby after Eddie Murphy yells out "Winthrop!" from down the hall;

I loved Louis' filthy Santa Clause antics the whole way through that scene but his drunken "Waaaaauggh..." at Valentine before he stumbles out of the building made me laugh so hard! I went back and watched it about 3 times immediately after seeing it last night, and would like to pop in the DVD and watch it again right now.

Funniest for me was:

"I'll rip out your eyes and piss on your brain." It's the look that Coleman gives Beaks. I couldn't stop laughing.

Also:

"More Eggnog" - Coleman

"Strip, you little shit, before I tear you a new asshole." - Policeman to Louis.

I LOVE THIS FILM!!!
