'The man who brought herpes to Sicily.'


By far the best and funniest line in the film. My friends and I also always got a kick out of the name, "Hunyadi." I wish that was my name. Hilarious.

Maybe, but this was "Dr. Malavaqua's" line; he got into medicine to atone
for his father's medical debacle.

Yes, I know it was Malavaqua's line. I was just suggesting a couple random moments that I enjoyed in the movie. I also think it's really funny when Radu tells his wife, "You are such a low life."

the movie is full of great lines.

The writer-director was smart enough, in addition to writing a good script, to have Michael Richards, Carol Kane, and others make up their own lines and physical stuff. Bologna made up the herpes line.

Hunyadi is a famous family name in Hungarian history. Just so you don't pop off to some proud Hungarian and get a black eye.
