Beckett is hilarious


I watched this movie when it came out and thought it was pretty funny, but the part that cracked me up the most was when Beckett's mother proudly calls her son forth to talk about babies. When she finally coaxes a response from Beckett, his response, delivered in perfect child dead-pan delivery,is one of the funniest (and unexpected) lines in cinematic history. "Babies like to breathe, and they're good at hiding it. I put a pillow over a baby. I thought she wasn't breathing, but she was. She was sneaky, but I'll try again." I still laugh whenever I think about that part. It is so funny, yet so dark in its premise.
