Quotes:

Jimmy Dial: [while patrolling in unmarked patrol car, telling joke] I cannot lie. I was humping my goat. So, the D.A. says, "But there's more to the story, isn't there, Farmer Brown?"
Gordon Wisk: Of course.
Jimmy Dial: So, Farmer Brown says, "After I finished humping my goat, the goat turned around and licked my balls." At which point, the judge turned to Farmer Brown and said, "Hey, a good goat will do that."
[Gordon looks at Jimmy with no response]
Jimmy Dial: A good... Aw, come on. Gordy. I had everybody rolling with that this morning.
Gordon Wisk: [smiles] Yeah, you're sad, man. You're really sad.

Featured in Anna Nicole Smith: Exposed (1998) (V)

Wow - this movie made me laugh!!

I read the TV guide description of this movie - Anna Nicole Smith portrays a Los Angeles helicopter pilot(!) - and just had to watch it tonight. Anna's delivery of her first few lines (ok, most of her lines, but especially the first few) in this movie had me in stitches!! Wow. I haven't laughed this hard since watching her reality show on 'E' a couple of years ago. Where'd she learn to act anyway? Did she ever learn to act?

The movie itself isn't half bad, and if you are an ANS fan, then you should enjoy this movie even more. However, I do think that her performance brought it down. I couldn't take her seriously for a moment. Had this movie been shown in theaters, she would have certainly been nominated for another Razzie!
