Most hysterical line in the movie. Doesn't it seem totally off the cuff? Like the guy seems like a real person, not a paid extra in the cast.

I always thought it was a real guy too and they just left it in. "40,000, yes yes, thank you Bernie, i love this guy were like family"

Yeah, but then you see an anchor go flying through the glass table that he and the woman are sitting at on their boat.

No way, the funniest is when the father says "I'll lay out." Lol

That guy (the father) is actually the director of the film. He also directed First Blood. This was one of his only acting credits. He was good in that line.

I remember getting a good laugh out of that line when I've first seen the movie and he reminded me so much of a schoolteacher I knew in school but never had him as one of my teachers.

About the only funny thing in this movie. He seemed like a genuinely drunk guy on a boat.
