Funny / The End (1978)

Go To

  • Sonny confessing his sins to a priest (Robbie Benson), only to end up sexually arousing the priest.
  • This scene with Sonny's parents:
    Sonny: Mom, I've been having trouble getting sleep lately. Do you have any sleeping pills?
    Maureen: Sleeping pills? I don't think we have any sleeping pills do we, Ben?
    Ben: Your know darn well we have enough sleeping pills in there to put the whole Mormon Tabernacle Choir in a coma!
  • Then there's the scene with Sonny's daughter:
    Jessica: That's my date. Now will you just get out of here, please?
    Sonny: (laughing) No.
    Jessica: (throwing her apron at her dad) Why don't do you just drop dead?!
    Sonny: I'm working on it.
  • Sonny meeting Marlon:
    Marlon: (crying) When I was a kid, I was tormented with Polish jokes. Oh, you know, "Who was Poland's Man of the Year?" - Nobody. "How do you sing the Polish National Anthem?" - Ya' don't sing it, ya' fart it. "How do you tell a Polack's identification?" - By the shit in his wallet.
    Sonny: Kids can be very cruel.
    Marlon: What "kids"? My father told me those!
  • When Sonny decides he wants to live, and has a Bargain with Heaven to escape death, he meets Marlon on the beach, who is extremely disappointed he couldn't help Sonny commit suicide, and that Sonny no longer wants to kill himself.
    Marlon: (sad) You don't like me any more.
    Sonny: I like ya, Marlon. I like ya, I really do.
    Marlon: You do?
    Sonny: I do. But you gotta understand. Tell me you understand.
    Marlon: I understand. I love ya, Sonny. I really do.
    Sonny: I love ya to, Marlon.
    Marlon: I love ya, Sonny.
    Sonny: I love you too.
    (They hug)
    Marlon: (suddenly pulls a knife) SURPRISE!!!
    (Marlon chases Sonny all over the beach trying to "help" his friend. Credits Roll.)
    Sonny: (voiceover) God! God! Make me a better runner!
    Marlon: (voiceover) Wait for my knife!
