The most oft quoted line from any movie Bonnie and I have seen has to be from Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts’ 2001 film The Mexican. Robert Krumholtz’s character, Beck, is telling Brad Pitt’s character, Jerry, how he told his mob-boss grandfather, Margolese – later revealed to be Gene Hackman – to fuck off the other day. Then, he launches into a drunken reenactment of the moment shouting, “Fuck you, Margolese, you old prune shit ass” as he pisses all over himself while trying to aim for a wall.

It’s one of the funniest lines in a woefully underrated film; any film for that matter. The only other line from a movie that even comes close, is from Fool’s Gold. Anytime Bonnie drops anything – and I mean anything, anywhere – I’ll pick it up, hand it back to her and say, “Is this your (whatever the thing is)?” and then she replies, “You saved my life.” Another underrated movie.

R.I.P Gene Hackman.
