Art Work

He's fighting you?

Uh... the horse racing. No. Uh... football. Nope. Badminton?

Elaine, Elaine... this fellow has a broken hand, and I could win many dollars, and that would make my family and me very happy.

You may laugh, but I know people who talk like that.

I have one very firm rule in my life: I don't eat at the same table, bet on the same side, or climb on the same airplane as losers.

Be gone, Iggy.

Yeah, well, the guy Johnson's fighting is named Johnson, too.

We got a 50-50 chance on a sure thing.

You must all promise to keep me informed of your flight plans.

if you value our friendship, you will not put that smirk into words.

Every day you come in here with some sure thing and it never works out.

You bet on painters?

I don't think you ever had any inside information. I think you were just trying to impress us.

don't deny us a Duffin.

Where the hell did I learn that?

after the artist... dies.

Can he eat solid food? Does he recognize visitors? Is he on any machines? I mean, is there a plug somebody might accidentally... Whoop! Trip over?

buying one of the old geezer's paintings is like betting he's going to die. We can't lose.

All those in favor of keeping Louie out of this deal signify so by spitting on his shoes.

I'll just sit over here turn my back away and, uh, you know, you just pretend I'm not in the room, and I'll respect the confidentiality of your discussion.

I hate him.

350 Brokniks. How much is that in American money? Nothing.

Hey, I can buy and sell Latka.

Raise it or lose it, Wheeler.

I've heard that there's a thrill associated with coming in contact with great art, but I never realized how true it was until this very moment.

Bobby, these are just prints. They're copies of original paintings. They're almost worthless. Oh.

Oh, good, you gave Latka the day off. Yeah, I told him that all he had to do is fix the problem in cab 643, he could come with us. Oh, did you get it fixed? Uh... almost. What's that? Uh... uh... I don't know. That's the problem.

What's that? Uh... uh... I don't know. That's the problem.

As luck would have it, we've got the same tie size.

This is worth 2,000 bucks? ... For 2,000 bucks, you'd think they'd throw in a name.

But there's only one seat left in the front. Not for long.

Way to go, Louie.

Most of my assets are tied up in investments... right now all my money's in a nursing home in Jersey.

Those people don't eat three meals a day. I mean, their memories are so bad they don't know whether they had three meals or a cracker. I say let them sleep.

You're a slime, Louie.

My God, I know her! She's dyed her hair, but that's her.

Yike! Whew! How did that get in here? Yuck! Ugh!

I got one for it. How about 'Garbage'?

One hundred bucks, and that's my final offer!

You're getting on my nerves!

You better hope you don't spend your twilight years at Sunset Acres!

Look at your nice suit...! You probably got a maid and a butler! You got maids, you got everything!

Oh, no! That's not fair! That's not... God, why, God?

But, you know, if you guys were at Normandy, we'd all be eating strudel right now.

Hey, there, cookie. I want one of your classiest things here... Something by... Vincent Van Patten, or one of those guys.
