Greatest setup line of all time.

You're absolutely right.

Loved the look on Warden's face when he came bursting into the room.

Loved the drool too.

And Jack Warden's character still takes the money even though he's dying... a used car dealer to his final breath!

I remember when UC was first shown on TV. In this scene Jeff takes the Lord's name in vain. On TV it was dubbed over and he says, Cheese and Rice!
That was funnier.

A few years ago, I was convalescing after a hernia operation, and I put this movie on while I was high on pain pills. Big mistake. When this scene came around, I started laughing uncontrollably, which hurt like hell because of the swelling around the incision. I had to turn it off because it was so funny.

I know this is 10 years later, but this is my greatest fear. Some people are afraid of heights, some people are afraid of being in closed-in spaces, my fear is that I will be in the hospital with a condition where it hurts to laugh, and my so-called "friends" will come in and play me comedy videos and kill me by laughter.

To ensure that this never, ever happens, I've only told my closest friends about this fear. They are compiling a list of videos for me to watch.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
