Watch this, okay.

Now the big one. Okay, the big one.

Can you be happy?

That's a good one! Okay, be happy.

Okay, here we are. Smile pretty.

Beautiful! There we go, we got it.

The other door. The other door!

- I got it, I got it.

- The other door!

- Get outta here.

- Oooh! Oh!

The cake, the cake!

- Watch out for the top.

- I'm watching, I'm watching.

It's not gonna slide

around in there, is it?

No, I got it wedged against a toilet.

This is just great.

My favorite system a lock.

And I got Monty in the truck

with a wedding cake.

I gotta pick up my mother,

take her to the beauty parlor.

- What's the tip?

- Big Boy in the fifth.

Forget it! The fifth goes off at 3:00.

- We goin' to the track?

- I can't go. I got a bar to run.

This here's a sure thing.

- It's forty to one.

- Hey!

- Wake up, we're closing up.

- I didn't finish my drink yet.

You're finished now. Get outta here.

Here's your dollar.

Come on, come on will ya.

We've got five minutes to post.

Hey! Get the hell out of there!

Slow down, will ya, slow down.

They're kids.

Nicky, take care of it.

What're you doing?

Sixty seconds to post time.

Are you gonna place a bet or what?

Oh, yes, yes. I'd like the

number seven horse please.

Thirty seconds to post time.

I'd like to put two dollars to win,

and two dollars to place

- and two dollars to show.

- Okay, buddy, good luck.

The next time you bet,

remember, instead of saying

two dollars to win,

two dollars to place,

two dollars to show, just say,

"two across the board."

- Gee, you mean instead of saying...

- What are you buyin', a house?

Two dollars to place...

Let's go while we're young.

We're gonna get shut out!

Yes, I have a friend

that wants to bet the

number seven horse.

Number six horse. Six horse.

No more bets.

And they're off!

Nicky, come on. We're goin' to the rail.

Big Boy making up lots

of ground on the outside,

moving to the fourth spot.

Here comes Big Boy with a rush

on the extreme outside.

How's he doin'? How's he doin'?

- Gettin' farther ahead all the time.

- Gimme those things.

Five lengths ahead!

Fifty bucks at forty to one!

That's two grand apiece!

Two grand apiece!

You dragged me out here,

you bastards, I love ya, I love ya!

That's two grand apiece! Two G's!

I'm goin' to Hawaii!

I'm goin' to Hawaii!

- He's fallin' back.

- I'm not goin' to Hawaii!

He's too far ahead to lose.

Look at him!

He thinks he's water skiing!

- We were in. What happened?

- Yeah, there's our winner.

I closed my bar! Get outta here!

I'll kill you.

I'll kill you, Bosco!

I'll kill him. I'll kill you!

There was supposed to be a fix. Crooks!

I was gonna buy a new neon sign.

Yeah, that's it. Step on his face!

That son of a b*tch!

Go get him, Nicky!

My bridesmaids' dresses are lime green.

And my maid of honor

is wearing lime green.

The maid of honor's dress should

always be in contrast

to the bridesmaids.

This is, um, delicious!

What do you call it?

Chicken!

I know it's chicken, dear,

but what kind?

There's Kiev, there's Florentine...

Shake & bake!

Mother, I'm glad you could come.

I've always been sorry

you missed my wedding.

You know I couldn't go to your wedding.

That's cause Daddy was there.

Where is your father tonight, dear?

He's taking baby pictures.

Ha! What kind of a baby is it

that's still up at 9 at night?

Sweetheart, watch out for this guy.

He'll buy you a bottle of beer,

and squeeze the "schlitz" outta ya.

Who is this guy?

He's my friend. Don't worry about him.

Excuse me, miss. I don't mean

to interrupt while you're working.

I was wondering if you could

come over to the house

Sunday for dinner and meet my mother?

- Do you wanna go home?

- He's kiddin' around.

Excuse me, pal. You got a problem here?

This is my friend.

- Who are you?

- Who am I?

I'm the guy that put

the bathrooms in this joint.

That's who I am.

Now I know why the place

stinks, okay, pal?

Break it up, will ya? What's the matter?

Take it easy, will ya?

- Ma?

- Hmm?

Am I pretty?

Oh, you're beautiful, sweetheart.

Julio's a very lucky boy.

I wanna make him happy.

But there's so much I don't know.

- Like what?

- Like about, you know.

- I know what?

- You know!

Oh, that.

Didn't your father tell you

everything you need to know?

He keeps starting,

but he never finishes.

What do you wanna know?

Foreplay. Have you

ever heard of foreplay?

No, not with your father.

It's nice we can have

these little talks.

Let's go help Belinda pour the coffee.

Wait, Mom.

How did you know that

you really loved Daddy?

We were at Coney Island

on the ferris wheel.

We got caught at the top.

Later on, I found out

he paid the man a dollar

to stop the ride.

Your father said things to me

that were so sweet, so romantic.

I said to myself,

"Here's a sensitive man."

Just once, a f***in' four!

Four! Got a four!

Gimme the dice, I'm hot. Gimme the dice.

Hold it, hold it! You won, right?

We're ahead.

We can leave winners right now.

Okay, so we go. Let's go.

Double or nothin'. Come on, here we go.

Oh, Monty!

You did it again, huh?

We were winners.

We could've walked away.

That's how I am.

Once I get goin', I can't stop.

Come on. Forget about it.

It's history. Let's go.

Good stuff. It oughta be.

I got it off a cop.

- I'm starvin'.

- Let's go to Lucky's. He's open late.

He's closed.

Come on, Pop's inside. He'll let us in.

Pop's last dish.

We're drivin' a half hour.

The closest we came to food,

we almost hit a deer.

Hey, there's a place.

I'm so hungry, I could eat the waitress.

No, no! No! It's wrong.

Nicky, it's wrong.

- I just wanna see what...

- It's wrong!

It's wedding cake flavor.

I love wedding cake.

Why don't you get married?

Let me just lick the bride.

That's my daughter!

It's a little plastic thing.

It's not your daughter.

Only one little flower each.

There's a lot of little flowers.

Nobody will know the difference.

Forget about it. Let's get outta here.

And don't drive fast. You're drunk.

Don't worry about it.

I drive better when I'm drunk.

You got a weird sense of humor.

You know that?

You laugh at everything.

Weather reports, car chase.

You laugh at everything.

Keep it straight, will ya?

You're swerving all over the place.

I'm goin' straight.

I'm on the yellow line, I told ya.

Move over to one side.

The other side! What are ya doin?

You're on the other side! Get over here!

- Keep to the right!

- Get your hands off the wheel!

Nicky look out!

My head! I hit my head!

What's so funny?

Everything's funny to you.

You laugh and laugh.

Watch the road, will ya?

Will you watch the road?

I lost my joint. Where's my joint?

Just watch the road, a**hole.

Move the car, Nicky, the car!

You got some aspirin?

I'm sorry. It was an emergency.

- You sure this is a good idea?

- Daddy.

Isn't she beautiful?

Yeah, but who's that with her?

What do you see in this guy?

He has everything I ever wanted.

You don't ask for much, do you?

Rodney Dangerfield

Rodney Dangerfield (born Jacob Rodney Cohen November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, voice artist, filmmaker, musician and author known for his self-deprecating one-liners humor, his catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" and his monologues on that theme. He began his career working as a stand-up comic in the Borscht Belt resorts of the Catskill Mountains north of New York City. His act grew in notoriety as he became a mainstay on late-night talk shows throughout the 1960s and 1970s, eventually developing into a headlining act on the Las Vegas casino circuit. A few bit-parts in films such as The Projectionist appeared throughout the 1970s, but his breakout film role came in 1980 as a boorish nouveau riche golfer in the ensemble comedy Caddyshack, which was followed by two more successful films: 1983's Easy Money and 1986's Back to School. Additional film work kept him busy through the rest of his life, mostly in comedies, but with a rare dramatic role in 1994's Natural Born Killers as an abusive father. Health troubles curtailed his output through the early 2000s before his death, in 2004, after a month in a coma due to complications from brain surgery. more…
