Daily Dialogue — November 21, 2011
“Um, when my brother Harold asked me to be the best man at his wedding, I was like, ‘Of course, man, ’cause you’ve always been there for me.’ Like when I was in rehab and uh, like the time I couldn’t find my car… ’cause Harold, you know, he’s always been the dependable one and I’ve always been the screwed-up one, right, Dad? Uh, Harold would never beat up his
landlord! But, uh, little news flash, Pop. Harold ain’t so perfect. Remember that time in Puerto Rico when we picked up those two, uh… well, I guess they were prostitutes, but I don’t remember payin’. Okay, how ‘bout that? I’m a person, too, Pop, goddamn it! I’m a person, too.”
— Dave Veltri (Steve Buscemi), The Wedding Singer (1998), written by Tim Herlihy
