Line #13 Funny/NeedfulThings


1	* The scene where "Buster" Keeton finds the hundreds of parking tickets in his living room accusing him of [[BerserkButton embezzlement]] is initially a creepy FreakOut, but Keeton is such a [[AssholeVictim tool]] and the messages on the pink slips start getting so creatively insulting, you can't help but laugh at the '''very''' BlackComedy.
2	-->MAKE: SHITMOBILE\
3	MODEL: OLD AND WEARY\
4	LIC. #: [=OLDFUCK1=]\

10	"FOR BEING KING SHIT"
11	* Alan recalls a brothel madam he once arrested: "The woman had offered him a bribe, and when he turned that down, she had tried very earnestly to knock his brains out with a birdcage. The tenant, a scrofulous parrot who sometimes said "I fucked your mamma, Frank" in a morose and thoughtful voice, had still been in the cage at the time."
12	* The sudden burst of slapstick nonsense around John's extremely messy desk.
13	* In the middle of the dark and violent climax, [[PaedoHunt Frank Jewett and George Nelson]] line up on the steps of the Municipal Building for an old-fashioned DuelToTheDeath. [[spoiler: They somehow manage to [[ShootTheBullet bounce each other's bullets out of the air]], but after standing dumbfounded for a few seconds, both [[AssholeVictim despicable men]] are abruptly vaporized anyway when the building explodes.]]
14	* This exchange from the movie:
15	-->''(Norris Ridgewick has Keaton dead to rights, who is handcuffed to the door of his own car, aims his gun and pulls the trigger... click)''\
16	'''Norris Ridgewick:''' Gotcha.\
17	''(Keaton suddenly knees Norris, then grabs him and knocks his head into the side of his Caddy, knocking him out cold)''\
18	'''Danforth Keaton:''' ''(childish sing-song)'' Na-na-na-na-na-na! ''(laughs)''\
19	''(later, after getting his wife to come into the garage, where Dan is still handcuffed to the car door)''\
20	'''Danforth Keaton:''' ''(scoffs)'' I thought you died on the john!\
21	''(Myrtle has a WTF look on her face)''\
22	'''Myrtle Keaton:''' Danforth, what's wrong?\

30	** Then at the climax:
31	-->''(after Pangborn proclaims that Gaunt is finished, a shot suddenly rings out, hitting the Sheriff in the arm and knocking him to the ground)''
32	-->'''Gaunt:''' ''(with an evil mischievous smirk)'' Oops!\

36	'''Danforth Keaton:''' You guys sound like a fucking AA meeting! ''(puts down his rifle)'' "Hi, my name is Dan and I'm here to blow up--" ''(opens his coat to reveal a bomb vest)'' "--your fucking town!"
37	*** The TNT extended version changes the swear words to childish insults, making the above exchange even funnier.
38	-->'''Danforth Keaton:''' "Hi, my name is Dan and I'm here to blow up your stupid town!"\
39	'''Danforth Keaton:''' ... it was you all along you scuz bucket!\
