Well, apparently someone at DU is not a big fan of the movie "The Jerk"

[Tommy_Carcetti]

I don't know why....it's got so many great quotable lines.

"The new phone book's here! The new phone books's here!"

"He hates these cans! Stay away from these cans!"

"And I don't need one other thing, except my dog....(growl).....I don't need my dog."

"It's a blue Chevy two-door. And it'd be going south on Hertado Street. No, can't make out
the license number, but...it'd be pulling a small church."

When Bernadette Peters busts out the trumpet, I fall over laughing. It's like a Pavlovian response or something.
