the droll wit of dorothy parker
dp co-scripted. she and hitch are a great match. there are quite a few sarcastic laughs. a few:
the running joke of using passing billboards or random book titles to underscore something going on in the foreground.
"Fry? He seems so small now."
I'd rather be at the North Pole - well, we might end up there, too (Hitch wild set pieces).
The hilarious circus dialogue about representing geopolitics in a microcosm.
"they can never take this moment away from me" - and a guy steps in and grabs the girl!
the guy who used to have long curly locks as a boy and loved for people to stare at them - and wants to do the same for his 2 year old, who doesn't get into trouble as often as the 4 year old...
the blind pianist telling our hero to practice his triangle playing.
hero's biggest line: we'll win if it takes from now til the cows come home! villain: yawn. you must be getting tired too.
thug: whacks hero over the head.
