That's my favorite line from that film, and it has a LOT of great lines in it, but for some reason, that particular line just pops (and Matthau delivers it perfectly) out at a person.
One of the greatest movies of all time, as far as I'm concerned.
Furthermore, why have we strayed from movie promos in this style? It's like my grandpa is telling me about this great movie I should see.
