      When Pieces meets Jimmy at the amusement park, he arrives and approaches bareheaded. When they part, he has a hat.
    • Quotes

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: Dagney? That's your name? Tremendous name. My name's Jimmy and I have just one single impulsive question. Are you in love?

      Dagney: What?

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: At the present time, are you in love?

      Dagney: Why?

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: Because if you are, then I won't waste your time. I'm really not the type of man to impede another man's happiness. However, if you're not presently in love then I will continue my rhapsody, because if I may say so, Dagney, you are most definitely the bees' knees.

      Dagney: Does this rap ever work?

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: Alas, in the old days. Now I rarely get a chance to try it. But you haven't answered my question.

      Dagney: I forgot it.

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: Are you in love?

      Dagney: Well there is someone...

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: But?

      Dagney: We date... I have memorized his phone number, but I won't use his toothbrush... We're somewhere in between and he's crazy about me.

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: As he should be. You glide.

      Dagney: I glide?

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: You glide. It's a very attactive quality. Most girls, they merely plod along. You, on the other hand, you glide... Tell me about it. What's his name? Chip?

      Dagney: Alex...

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: Same thing. Does he make you thump?

      Dagney: Define "thump".

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: Thump. When you think about him, you can't eat You can't sleep. You forget about man's inhumanity to man. Does he do that for you?

      Dagney: That's a ridiculous concept. No one can do that.

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: Girls who glide need guys who make them thump. Have dinner with me.

      Dagney: Aren't we the sultan of segue?

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: It's a beautiful month. Just have dinner with me.

      Dagney: Are you going to make me thump?

      Jimmy 'The Saint' Tosnia: Or die trying.

    Buckwheats and Boatdrinks
    This film is very unique and it features a stellar cast including the great Andy Garcia, the talented Christopher Lloyd and the brilliant Christopher Walken, who;s performance is exceptional even though it is a small part.

    This film is very memorable featuring great performances especially from Steve Buscemi playing the hitman. It also has very creative and quotable dialogue inluding the term boatdrinks.

    I recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the crime genre or anyone who is a fan of the cast. Watch this film, quote the dialogue and be a gangster yourself.
