      Bernie Friedman: [at the custody hearing] Well, Judge, you can pass the buck up and down and back and forth, but when it gets to "Bernie the Butcher" it don't go no further.

      Judge: Is that what they call you? "Bernie the Butcher"? Why?

      Bernie Friedman: Thirty-seven years in the meat packing business. What're they gonna call me, "Bernie the Baker"?

    Hollywood loves a remake

    This is pretty much a redo of little miss marker, it's better than the walter matthau version although it may not beat the shirley temple one ;) Movies always seem to look better in technicolour. A good excuse for Tony Curtis to take the crew to disneyland.
