Quotes

Calvin Jones: [looking at menu from Ruby's Kosher restaurant] Pardon me, I guess I ain't used to these kinda chuck-houses they have around these parts.
Joe Lehman: Well, can I help you?
Calvin Jones: Yes; what is this 'matzoh balls'? Sounds like Navaho food to me!
Joe Lehman: Yes, that's Indian, all right. Food from a lost tribe.
