What does Doug mean when he says...


"I can think of one other thing." ?

This is in reply to Orstad saying something like man can never have enough alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

Paper... snow.... A GHOST!!

I don't remember what he replied to but he obviously meant sex or women.

Doug Calrin (Denzel) worked for the ATF. ATF stands for Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, however the full title of the bureau is the 'United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives'. Doug was referring to explosives when he said "I can think of one more thing" :)

Wrong. He was obviously talking about sex.

No.. he was referring to Explosives.. you know? One of the major plot-points and driving forces of the movie. The thing they're trying to get this guy on.

Watch the movie again and get some common sense.

Sex is explosive - everybody is correct, so stop fighting.

He was obviously talking about macaroni and cheese

reply

that means Explosives...
because ATF department full name is
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Orstad asked first.. You are ATF?
and then he asks for smoke.(Tobacco)
then says men can always use Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms...
he didn't mention Explosives. (which is also not in ATF short form)
thats why Doug reminds, "i can think of one more thing."
Movie is made very intelligently, anyone who understood more deeply
he'll rate it atleast 8.0!

I believe in the context it was sex or women. They didn't say anything about New Orleans ATFE in that scene. I only knew about it from reading the Trivia section here.
