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=]\ |

7 | --->"FOR BEING A CANTANKEROUS ZIT"\ |
8 | "HORSEFUCKING"\ |
9 | "CORNHOLING YOUR MOTHER"\ |
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?\ |
23 | '''Danforth Keaton:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, nothing's wrong. Things are better than they've been in years. I just, uh, need a little help, is all.]]\ |
24 | '''Myrtle Keaton:''' [[CaptainObvious Danforth, you're handcuffed to the door]].\ |
25 | '''Danforth Keaton:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Aren't you the fucking genius.]] ''(laugh)'' Get me that hacksaw, will you? |
26 | ** A few minutes later... |
27 | -->'''Keeton:''' ''(on phone to Gaunt, distraught)'' I killed my wife. Is that wrong? I didn't mean to.\ |
28 | '''Gaunt:''' ''(very {{affably|Evil}})'' Hey, these things happen. |
29 | |
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!\ |
33 | ''(A deranged Dan Keaton suddenly comes out of the shop, armed with a sniper rifle)''\ |
34 | '''Danforth Keaton:''' If anybody's finished in this town, it's ''you'' Pangborn!\ |
35 | '''Gaunt:''' Finally, a man with some ''sense''.\ |
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!\ |
