      Anna: Walter?

      Walter: Oh, Anna, thank God it's you! Thank God!

      Anna: Walter?

      Walter: Thank God you're here, honey!

    You may die of STOMACH FAILURE!!!
    You will laugh so hard!!! The scene in which the bathtub falls through the rotting floor and shatters is the funniest scene in a ton of funny scenes!!! I remember this in the theatre when I was 15 and I almost peed my pants during that tub scene!!!

    Tom Hanks is the greatest!!!
