What is your favorite scene?


I don't think anyone started discussion about that.

So what is your favorite scene?

I always liked the scene where he buys the guns. The traveling gun salesman nailed his part. "Ain't she a little honey"

Steven Prince. Scorsese did a short doc about him.

I like the scene where Travis sees Iris and her friend on the street and recognizes her, just because of the look and feel of the street as he follows them. Something about the mood of the street at that moment really appeals to me.

Is hard to tell, the whole movie is sooo good

The porno movie date

The new haircut / mohawk scene, where Travis talks to the secret service guy.

I didn't research it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was totally ad-libbed by Deniro.

I don't think I can answer my own question LOL

I pick the date scene in the restaurant.

That's a great scene. But I still don't get the joke about the sign "One of these days, I'm gonna get organiz-ized"!

My favourite scene is the convenience store robbery. Especially when the owner beats the **** out of the robber with a pipe at the end lol.

The joke is meant to be ironic. The person expresses a desire to become organized but can't even spell the word 'organized' correctly. This way, the word becomes 'disorganized.' Consider misspelling the word 'intelligence' as an analogy. By the way, in Travis's apartment, there is a sign that reads 'One of these days I'm gonna get organizized,' and the last letters in the word 'organizized' fall out. This is another humorous way to emphasize the difficulty of being organized in real life.

You can seen the sign here:

The store robbery scene is a key moment. After killing a man, Travis feels he can become a hero by getting rid of the scumbag of the universe. He does not face the legal consequences for his actions, as the store owner even covers for him.

When he shoots the dude trying to rob the convenient store. Then the hispanic guy covers for Travis because he also hates the robbing scumbag too, lol.
