Does anyone remember what movie the following quote is from? I thought it might be a Neil Simon film. Background: A family is waiting interminably on Thanksgiving day for a compulsively late uncle and his family to arrive. In frustration, the father finally decides to sit down and eat, only to have the uncle arrive shortly thereafter and declare outraged, "You cut the toikey, before I came?!"

the movie is Avalon.
shareAvalon. The guy that said the line was Lou Jacobi. Took long enough to get your answer, HUH?
shareI Love that movie! Both funny and moving.
shareAvalon is a great movie by a great filmmaker, Barry Levinson. That scene cracks me up because I know a family who has a compulsively late relative and they did the same thing. However, they did not go off like an idiot, they simply said goodbye and left.
shareI just seen Avalon and now know that it is in there, but he doesn't say "before I came", he says "without me present".

"If I've never seen it before, it's a new release to me."
I think that was in Barry Levinson's "Avalon."
