Quotes

The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish

Edit
  • Louis Aubinard: I mean, I've got my doubts. I'm not totally convinced about God. If he's there, he's there. If he's not, he's not. In fact, if he is there at least I can say I've done more for him than he's done for me. He's performed no miracles for me, my friend. "Cast thy bread upon the waters and it shall be returned to you a thousand-fold." But what can you do with a thousand loaves of wet bread?"
  • Pianist: I've done miracles for your business and if you can't appreciate that then I can go elsewhere.
  • Norbert: Three hundred and fifty.
  • Pianist: No.
  • Norbert: Four hundred. And that's it!
  • Pianist: Plus travel expenses.
  • Norbert: But you walk here!
  • Pianist: I walk expensively.
  • Louis Aubinard: Jesus cried out in a loud voice...
  • Pianist: My God, I'm so hungry!
  • Man with Hook-nose: [giving Louis tickets for a film] If you like it, tell all your friends. If you don't like it, tell them it's free.
  • Norbert: I don't think your friend will shave his beard.
  • Louis Aubinard: Why not?
  • Norbert: [whips around] Because he tried to wash my feet!
  • Louis Aubinard: Maybe he was trying to tell you something...
  • Norbert: What's your name?
  • Pianist: Franz Schubert. S-C-H... bert.
  • Pianist: Two fifty. Cash. And if it's not agreed to by the time I blow my nose, then it's gonna be five hundred an hour.
  • Norbert: [toasting] Praise be to the Lord.
  • Norbert: Could we please leave him out of it?
  • Louis Aubinard: My name isn't really Zalman. It's Luis. And I don't have orgasms for a living.
  • Sybil: Grandpa, please, I want you dead before my next birthday. I think that's reasonable.
  • Pianist: I've worked miracle for your business, and if you can't appreciate that I can go else where.
  • Norbert: 350.
  • Pianist: No.
  • Norbert: 400, and that's it.
  • Pianist: Plus travel expenses.
  • [starts walking away]
  • Norbert: But you walk here.
  • Pianist: I walk expensively.
  • Lady in Subway: When I look at you I think, now there's a man who can really save the world. Me I'm too busy, but if you could be bothered, you could do it.
  • Pianist: You really think so?
  • Lady in Subway: Why not give it try...
  • [last lines]
  • Sybil: Zalman.
  • Louis Aubinard: Yes?
  • Sybil: Where did you get that watch?
  • Louis Aubinard: Watch? What do you mean, watch?
  • Sybil: What do you mean, what do I mean, watch?
  • Louis Aubinard: You like this watch?
  • Sybil: Zalman, this the *the* watch. I'd know that watch anywhere.
